Ok so i am posting something new here. 

Battle reports tend to take a long time and a lot of effort (and a lot of remembering). the really nice ones like- wargamer girls -or- priority orders discarded-,  also take loads of post production. 

 

Since the replies to batreps seem to be far and few between, from now on, just take one pic from your most recent battle of   40K/30k/space hulk/kill team/battlefleet gothic/aeronaughtica/titanicus  etcc.. (from whichever edition) you feel sums up the feel of the game and post them here.

 

Leave a short description of the scenario and outcome to go with the pretty pictures to make us all jealous. 

 

I should have one up in a couple days after game night.

My latest game, from february... Ultramarines vs. Imperial Guard, 2000 pts ITC format. Last game of the tournament, wiped his army completely on turn 4 :/ I managed to charge his line with two Invictor Warsuits on the first turn and that pretty much decided the game. It was still a fun game and he took the loss pretty well. The 'blast templates' are objective markers.

wow that  is a classic predator there. don't see to many of them around anymore, but they get the job done.

.warrior prime

X2 berserker squads (8) in rhinos

-Elite

.chosen terminator squad (5)

.X2 obliterators

-heavy support

No long winded explanation this time. i was assisting the new player on getting down all the rules for his units, since we had limited time due to pandemic restrictions this was the only game we could get in. 

The chaos player wanted to try out a land raider so i let him borrow mine as a proxy 

 

After the game he managed to pick up a used one for cheap, along with a pristine defiler kit at a discount. 

 

The start

 

 

 khorne won the day (well blood was spilled so they auto win no matter the outcome     )  even though his terminators and oblits got on the wrong side of the flyrant.  the triple shot gun on the gaunts also did some good work.

Well this wasn't a game i played but i helped set it up.-

 

House rules 5th ed game 2k points

 

chaos using the 3.5 codex VS 5th ed demon hunter/inquisitorial force with heavy proxies (because buying 24 death cult assassins and 22 jakero is stupid expensive) my land raider achillies  is also standing in for a crusader since it was the only one i brought they could use. 

 

chaos ended up winning, but just barely..i mean aside from khorne who always wins.

 

at the end chaos only  had the land raider, 3 terminators, a single havock, the hell drake and a single obliterator left. out of the original 2k army. 

 

[Sherrypie]

We had a blast playing a megabattle of Adeptus Titanicus. I drafted a version of the Titandeath scenario with some 6000 points of Astorum / Defensor assailants rushing Favilla's 5000 point line, which ended up as a pretty good history re-enactment of the lore as the attackers' victory was marginal enough to be contested millenia later

 

A lot more in my AT blog.

didn't play in this game but i helped set it up and got the players hooked on epic scale. 

 

khorne VS imperial guard  roughly 4,000 points per side in 8th edition rules. 

 

Most of the khorne infantry was still inside the transports, or were demons yet to be summoned in this pic.

Blood Angels Vs Biel'Tan, 1500 points

 

Picture taken at the end of T1. Blood Angels pushed high up the board, Eldar countered. Image shows some combat where a squad of Howling Banshees bounced of a squad of Tactical Marines...

Report

[Karhedron]

My Fire Dragons perform a heroic last stand against my son's Dark Angels armoured spearhead. The Repulsor survived on just 1 wound after their Fusion Guns and melta bombs had taken their toll but that was all it needed to blow them away are hold the Objective.

[Berzul]

Small incursion game between my Dark Angel Successors, and a host of Death Watch. My Dreadnought got caught by a small group of very tough to kill models, which forced my terminators and my bikes to attempt a reinforcement maneuver to free him from the stranglehold, after many rounds of no one in that battle yielding.

 

 

The fight did, indeed, end in victory for my battle brothers. With the Dreadnought at 1 wound remaining, and through the combined efforts of it, and 5 additional Deathwing Terminators.

[mughi3]

Update time

 

Got a 2k game of our hybrid 5th edition game in-CC themed nids(4th) VS chaos (3.5)-khorne

 

I sold my nids off a long time ago so i borrowed these from a friend so they were not WYSIWYG.

Just finished building my 2000pt army and was able to get a battle in with them yesterday. Was a real change of pace over my Raptors but I had a blast and pulled out a win. Hopefuly will get them all painted soon so they look better for battle reports.

[mughi3]

Demo game of epic 40K with index  8th ed rules(halved movement/ranges)

 

 

And  a 2k game of 5th edition. 

 

[Berzul]

Small 1k game against a Necron buddy of mine.

 

He came with quite a strong and fun Canoptek list, with scarabs, spyders, and doomstalker. All with a good number of warriors and deathmarks.

I answered with a small elite force, with deathwing terminators, deathwing knights, ravenwing black knights, a ven dread and landspeeder vengeance, led on the field by the master of my deathwing.

 

 

The battle ended with most of the Astartes on the board. I only lost a terminator per squad, a couple of bikes, and the vehicles. The necrons were left with just one deathmark, the overlord and the cryptek. Still, kill counts do not win battles in 9th, and the engagement ended on a score of 77 over 67, in favor of the Necrons.

 

A hell of a time was had by all, though. Absolutely amazing game.

[Berzul]

Had a rematch this week against the same necron opponent from my last picture. This time, the Astartes crushed the necrons in under three battle rounds! This one moment was the highlight of the battle. My company master, facing off against a unit of Wraiths.

 

[killersquid]

My last game, Space Wolves Vs my buddies custom Iron Hands successor. Haven't played since November, due to increased COVID restrictions in my province, and moving over the holidays. 

 

[mughi3]

Greetings all. 

 

i finally got in a long awaited battle VS the horde of greenskins in our hybrid 5th ed game., 

 

The ork player wrote up a silly horde list but only came up with 1,600 points as his army is still under construction

 

We ended up doing a 12" deployment 3 objective game. 

 

At the beginning it looked like so

 

 

 

Near the end it looked more like this

 

 

 

 

 

Game went to turn 6 with orks scrapping by with a narrow  but clear victory.  with only a wounded gazkull, 2 nobs, and 2 boys left on the table... sitting on all the objectives. if i had that last turn i likely would have turned back the green tide since i was still rolling with my land raider achillies + master of the forge/servitor squad, vengeance battlecannon battery, and 2 tactical marines.(well and an immobilized ironclad but it wasn't like he was going to add much). great game had by all with happy orks and Gaz rolling invul saves like a BOSS! (made five 5++ saves  fighting dreadnoughts)

 

 

P.S. the FOW tanks were representing his zzap guns and grot crews he had written into the list but forgot to bring with him. 

[mughi3]

Next up was a demo of the best game GW has ever made-

thats right some battlefleet gothic. 1,500 points

 

i borrowed the FLGS display fleet (imperial navy) and let the other player use a mix of some of my chaos and a store ship.

 

It was a brutal slug match

 

Both sides had an admiral with re-rolls

 

Imperial side-

.retribution-battleship

.mars-battlecruiser

.X2 dominator-cruiser

.gothic-cruiser

 

Chaos side-khorne themed fleet

.the conqueror (angrons battleship from the great crusade)

.styx heavy (carrier) cruiser

.X3 slaughter class cruisers

 

[Kythnos]

Always great to see some BFG being played!

[Berzul]

Had a 1k match today against death guard, and I had to face a LOT of Pox Walkers, who then proceeded to stomp all over me.
