Hi,

here are some pics of a 2 days battle we played last week-end.

We tested the Assault scenario in a 10k game.

Attacker army: 10000 points
Defender army: 5700 points + 900 points in bunkers/defense lines

Saturday: Imperium forces attack and Chaos defend
Sunday: Chaos forces attack and Imperium defend

Not many comments about this battle, we played it for fun

Imperium attacks!


Assault IG in Gorgons reach the defense lines:


Capitol Imperialis (Thanks to Otterman & WMN for this great miniature) slowly advances on the road to the fortress. The embarked Heavy Infantry company will shot at anything in range.


Silver Skulls Space Marines assault the Deathguard in defense lines:


Imperium advance


Artillery for support. Griffons are wonderful in such a scenario:

Sunday Battle:

Imperium forces are in position:


Terminators & Devastators waiting for the Chaos first attack wave:


Leman Russ and SHT ready to fire at sight


First wave of Blood letters is shot down:


Until they regenerate:


Fire at will!


Khorne berserkers attack other flanck:


Most chaos army advance behind Tower of Tzeentch magical protection:




Fleshhounds smell blood in defense lines:


Second attack wave reach defense lines:


Tzeentch attack on the other flanck:


Quite all Thousand Sons died but first defense line is broken:


Warp Palace use some protection to improve chaos armor and this work more than well:


Silver Skulls devastors will soonly feel alone:


Angron and Silver Skulls second company commander fight in a bunker


Blue horrors are waiting for the doors to be opened:


This is the end:

Conclusion: it was 2 funny battles

- With 27 chaos reward cards for the second battle, we found few cards that were problematic (increase armor save in close combat is useless...this was reported in Chaos Book Errata thread)
- Mark of Tzeentch on Pink Horrors work well if a pink horror becomes a pink horror
- Elysian Drop Troops are useless on such a scenario All stands were easily killed by DeathGuard
- Valkyries are poor fliers but when they are in number, they can be a pain for your opponent
- It's a pleasure to see Grey Knights shooting down a greater daemon
- Heavy Infantry Company in a Capitol Imperialis works nicely! 34 attack dices can kill a Great Unclean one in a bunker
- Hellhounds are cheap, not great on battlefield but it's enough to clean some ruins
- Griffons are good for removing enemy from entrenchments
- It was the first time I fought Slaanesh on a battlefield. I underestimated how powerful this army can be! Slaanesh Greater Daemon psychic attack against Capitol was close to be successful...

Thanks for the report

Impressive battle. Thanks!

Look like a lot of fun
Do you think it was balanced?

I'm not sure it xas balanced But as we played the battle on the large side, it took 3 turns for my gorgons to reach the first chaos defense line

At turn 5, chaos would have entered in the fortress (thanks to the skimmer ability of slaanesh greater daemon).

Great report!

Hi!

That fortress is very impressive!

How was it made?

Primarch

Wow more great pics, think i might have to have a go at making a fort like that myself now

Thanks for all your comments



Hi Primarch You can find some pics of the fortress here. It's made of cheap heavy board, mostly glued with hot glue gun (not sure you call this tool like this ). SOme plastic bits come from Urban plastic cheap terrain kits and I'll add a lot of 40K terrain bitz when I'll rework on the fortress.

This is amazing Scream, and it looks like you had a great time. The Capital Imperialis looks stunning, I must get one, or two myself. I like the use of the Warmaster Daemons, I've been thinking about doing the same myself, so I can have even more Daemon Packs of Horrors.

So, would you say you've got a taste for Assault Scenarios now? I'd also love to try some of the city fight scenarios from the old SM article. I think that would be fun too.

That looked like lots of fun. An entire weekend of Epic.....oh. I remember those days

Great battle, love the CI and fortress!

Where are more pics of the CI and when did WMN and Otterman make this thing and post about it?

You'd need to go way back to the original WMN Zeppelin thread I think. O-Man made a limited run of resin ones....buggar to cast IIRC.
