Battle Report - Last 40k day at Fandom

 Hello Folks,

Had our final 40k day today at, end of an era for sure. Anyway we had 3 people so went for a king of the hill scenario.

I had Steel Legion

Vs Iron Warriors and Space Wolves 13th company

Here's the set up loads of Marines, loads pf tanks, and loads of evil Marines and tanks. Who can hold thr crash plane in the middle.

Iron warriors immedatly kill a chimera, so that's how ots gonna be eh. Also she'll some wolf guys.

Advance to the objective, and shoot up some Iron dudes.

Wolves march forward.

More shelling from the warriors and they kill a sentinel.

Raptors assault my tank commander, then retreat? Deep in to my lines. Don't question it.

The lads hope out to kill some raptors, tank commander was shaken so he backed it up.

Wolves charge a chimera and smash it, what do these guys have against chimeras?? Missed a couple turns of pics, eh long story short we blew up most of each other's tanks.

What i hoped would be the last turn I dashed my last chimera unto the objective.

Surrounded by like 40 Marines, with their chimera obliterated, these 5 guys had to explain sorry chaps times up planes ours, bad luck.

I think that wolf lord wanted 1 more turn but themselves the breaks!

Thanks;

Mike

Tournament Report - Old World at Red Dragon

 Hello Folks,

This past Sunday was another Warhammer tournament at Red Dragon, have been feeling like doing some fantasy lately so I attended and brought my 100 yrs wars guys using the renegade crowns list.

Game 1: vs Slayers

Here's the set up, sellswords with the griffon banner in the center, flanked by veteran sellswords with full plate and great weapons, flanked by crossbows and archers, cav one the right flank. My plan just to shoot em up.

Dwarves coming in but taking lots of casualties.

A line guy charges sone archers but the gets shot up.

One dwarf block makes it in but gets ground down.

More dwarfs charge in.

Block with a lord broke a unit.

Ran out of turns at this point. Basically we each lost a unit, ended up a draw!

Game 2: vs Chaos Warriors

Setup for game 2 fighting chaos now. More or less same game plan,but they have more armor and are faster so that's  concern.

Hello cannon immedatly goes crazy and charges up fast.

Not many chaos die from shooting...

Units break through bith sides of my lines.

Have maybe a decent chance to turn it around but my knights fail a charge by 1".

Got surrounded and cleaned up from there. Missing last picture but I got wiped out.

Game 3: vs more Chaos!

Set up for game 3, mission this time is to capture the sacred swamp in the middle. For the third time in a row I fail to get first turn. But the dice gods have my back after that.

Demon prince coming in hot.

Shoot him up pretty good, I think like half killing the guy. Stupidly give him the flank pf my knights thou.

Demon prince comes in but he just can't take out my lord, used a Joan of arc model.

Blast a unit of forsaken and try to get some help in time.

The dice gods aren't behind the demon prince. After like 3 combats he chips joan away 1 wound at a time. Oh also the warriors fly in just like their boss.

I shoot the good out of the warriors, and my foot unit saves the day. Their champion challenged the demon prince who only did 1-2 wounds with his 500 str 8 attacks, the rolled high on his beard test and ceased to exist.

Chaos chosen knights are problematic thou, and the bloodied warriors are feasting on my Bombard are missile troops.

Knights chewing up sellswords, marauders flailing out riders. But my griffion standard guys smash the warriors.

My knights get the rear of the chosen knights to clean it up.

Very fun game, ending in a victory for me. Very lucky thou, I got every spell off, lord would die, vs Chaos casting maybe 2. But that's how it goes lots of murdering fir both sides!

Fun tournament overall, look forward to the next. Would really love to do 1 with the 500pt rules to change things up!

Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - 3rd ed 40k Tournament

 Hello Folks,

Played in a 3rd ed 40k tournament today! I took an eldar list with the avatar, fuegan, Swooping hawks, dire avengers, guardians, and some war walkers.

First mission was cleanse and I had to face the Speed Freak Orcs.

Part way through the orcs first turn, getting ready to charge the avatar.

I move out, really hoping my war walkers can get rid of the basilisk but they miss, fuegan also misses. Dire avengers have to charge the bikes with is mostly a wash. Not the best start.

Orcs charge my banshees, the other fights on going, and the artillery shells my walkers get a stunned and a weapon destroyed.

My turn again, fuegan failed to kill the big truck with shooting, but charged and did ot with bombs! I forgot he gets to reroll armor pen, ops. Hawks finally come in as well. Oh and the avatar is fighting a warboss and his novs now.

Getting diwn ti the end now. Only thing left that can claim a quarter are the vehicles and guardians. But 1 war walker is immobilized. Fuegan in the end walked accross the table and blew up the badilisk himself!

Orcs wipe out the Eldar, and have a bigger that can claim a quarter so victory for them!

Game 2: Night Fight vs Imperial Guard

Deployed for a night fight, my plan is fire guardians and dire avengers to fan out and claim the sort of flank quarters, while the rest kill! I realize after the first game I actually don't have many troops or vehicles.

Advance, to dark to see much.

Guard have some scattered mortar fire but nothing crazy.

More advancing starting to get some shit now  but nothing super effective.

Guard gets a perfect battle cannon shot right on the war walkers, despite their shields with go. Mortars whistling away my guardians. But the Eldar net is closing in.

Eldar turn, fuegan does his thing and kills a russ, and the avatar forces back a unit of conscripts, who only just manage to rally at the board edge.

Guard time to do some damage, they really need to kill the avatar. But thd demolisher cannon shot goes wide, the rest does some damage but not enough.

The avatar crashes through a tank, and the Hawks arrive, that's the killing blow really.

Dire avengers and guardians snag a quarter each do we manage a win.

Game 3: Rescue vs Genestealer Cult

Turn 1, sadly the objective closest to the cult turns out to be the real one, so I'm in trouble.

Cult brings in some reserves to try and secure 

I'm advancing up as fast as my Eldar legs can, also drop in with the Hawks. Manage to kill the first squad holding the package.

The Cult shoots back and their genestealers head for the objective.

Get greedy and assault the magnus with my Hawks, a few die to suicide vests, shooting would have been much smarter. Also banshees arriving to late.

Try to win but to my army is a bit to slow for this. The war walkers had poor luck killing chimeras as well which doesn't help sadly. Few key mistakes as well of course.

Anyway a win for the Cult.

Very few games, enjoyed all 3 scenarios quite a bit, look forward to the next 1!

Thanks;

Mike
