Damn, I don't know of the other qualities Italians have, but they do better scenery, thats for sure.
Impressive tables, and sooooo big!

That Necron table is astonishingly good. Fits perfectly.

And I want that Warhound...

BYE

What were the special rules on that table? Seems like the Eldar emerged from the Portals to fight the Necrons. (Wow, i figured that out all by myself!)

Wow, those tables are beautiful.  Awesome.

I also like how all gamers look the same all over the world.  Gaming - the universal culture!

Thats very nice use of hirst arts blocks on the san leor and necron tables.

The gates allowed teleporting units between then, choosing randomly the one where you arrive.

Some of the "Best of Show" minis: Shuren's Khorne Daemonic Speed Chosen

That mixing with Tyranid part is imo not fitting. They are a bit top heavy, especially the gaunt body with the chaos space marine torso.
Maybe if only the feet were used, but then it wouldn't quite be striking enough that these guys are indeed fast...

(Hell of a paint job, though)

Well, there was 5 tables with an average of 5 players per table, And I personally I've followed only one table, but I'll try to describe something:
this was the third IB:

On the first one (two years ago) we have seen Abbadon manipulating an Hive-Fleet to attack some peripheral systems of Segmentum Ultimus, just to cover his master plan: attacking Ultramar, conquering the fortress of Hera and killing Tigurius and Marneus Calgar on the tomb of Roboute Guilliman.

In the second one (last year) we have seen the Ultramarines trying to recover their gene-seed without success in the Tyranid nest within the caves of Calth;

On the Mordant sector the Space Wolves, assisted by the last Ultramarine Cruiser in imperial hands tried to prevent a whole world from falling in the daemonic clutches, but without success.

On San Leor the Inquisition under the double attack of Chaotic renegades (trying to save him) and Dark Angels (trying to kill him), struggled to preserve his grasp on the captive Cypher. The betraying at the last minute of the Eldar Forces (allies at the time of Ultramar Siege, but with their own agenda for the Fallen) didn't help either.


In the mean time a mysterious craftworld who seemed lost eons ago emerged from the warp, and the forces of Ulthwè and Emperor Children are still fighting to obtaining control.

This Year The Ultramarine Stroked Back, reconquered the Fortress of Hera and the Nova Cruiser;
on a remote tomb world Eldar and Chaos raced without success to subtract the control of ancient artifacts from the Necron Crypts;
meanwhile on San Leor the inquisition tried to evacuate a powerful psyker under the advancing shadow of the Great Devourer (with the eldar pretty irritated that nobody askeds their opinion on the subject of course).
