Battle Report - Warhammer 40k

Hello Folks,

Was finally able to get a bit of a game going, has to really limit the size as it's still the apocalypse, also the games room is now also an office!

But we managed a 700 point game of 40k, 7th edition.

I took some Imperial Guard force with some infantry, a tank some storm troopers and an astropath. Fighting Tau with a kind of similar break down with some infantry a tank and some suits and stuff.

We played a simple Combat Patrol mission with the troops and a commander starting, and most stuff in reserve, with bonus points for controlling table quarters. As an extra twist there was intermittent acid rain!

Heres the set up, heroic humanity in the close corner, evil aliens in the far.

Not much action turn 1  just both forces advance slowly.

Turn 2 has more action, some battle suits and a tank arrive for the Tau and start shooting up my troop carrier. I also got my big tank who blasted a Tau infantry unit from the shattered woods. My close support unit disembarked by the blue woods as was just able to flame the Tau there as well.

Next turn the Tau get the rest of their reserves and are easily able to blow up my first tank. With the suits hiding out behind the big rock.

My turn saw the storm troopers arrive who party out flanked the suits doing a bit of damage, but my tank was able to blast out the last Tau infantry unit. His Eradication cannon proving very effective.

Final Tau turn the gunship, plus small fast tank flanked my lumbering hulk hoping for revenge. Although the both got hits and did heavy damage, it was left alive but unable to shoot. The suits flamed up the storm troopers killing half, but they held on. The foot infantry failed worse loosing allot of guys and running.

Last turn the storm troopers tried to assault the battle suits, but with the sergeant dead didn't get much. The commissar finally joined the battle, but with my tank shaken I couldn't damage the Tau vehicles.

In the end I was ahead a bit on murder points, and controlled more territory, so it was a victory for humanity. But if the Tau had been able to finish that tank it would have been very close.


Anyway that's it for now.

Thanks;
Mike

Painting Update - Imperial Guard

Hello Folks,

Got another batch of apocalypse painting for you. This time decided to add on new stuff to my Imoeriap Guard army.

Leman Russ Eradicator:

Pretty basic, but still cool. Realized after I forgot to put some decals, might add those later.

Armored Fist Squad:

 
Group of veterans loaded out with shotguns and flame throwers, plus a chimera to get them in range. Maybe not the best picture, but I was to lazy to set up the photo booth thing.

Artillery Officer:

And the artillery officer, ready to call in the heavy hitters.

Tech Bee:

Finally I painted this er lady of an infinity painting contest.

Monster Terrain - Kickstarter

Hello Folks,

Got delivery on a set of terrain I kickstarted awhile back. All pre-painted plastic. Set it up to see what it was like, so figured I might as well toss a few pictures up.

Also got a new 4x3 mat, so have a saga sized one now. They also give you 2 sided pieces for the area terrain. All 2 sided the mat is desert on the other side, and the trees have ponds.

My hope is because it's all light plastic it will be durable and easy to move around, so easier to bring to the  club.

Looks pretty good to me. Basic stuff mostly like forests hedges and rocks. Got a couple of the forests in blue to give a bit more of a fantasy vibe, but its mostly fairly generic.

Will be good to say how it works in a game. Not sure how tippy the trees may be, but they seem ok. Will be tempted to get another set of trees or 2 if it works well.

Looks like they are planning a second one with more urban stuff, most likely will do that as well.

Thanks,
Mike

Paint8ng Update- Infinity 0-12

Hello Folks,

Finally finished the next painting project. The local infinity club got me started by having a single model painting contest, so I went on to finish the army.

Another science fiction army. The O-12 are basucally the space UN. Was fun to work in a new infinity army, just need a game to try them out!

O-12

First up an army shot. I'll post individual pictures of my favorites below. Probably a bit much to do individual shots of them all in one post.

Havemt decided on the next big project yet. Most likely either Alexandrian Successors, Iranian Tanks, or more 40k/fantasy stuff. Also tempted to do a very small amount of pulp stuff.

Open to suggestions I guess!
