20 Epic Photos from War in the 41st Millennium

Here are some photographs from the recent War in the 41st Millennium tournament held here in Western Australia.
Results are in the post below, but I know some people just want to see the pretty pictures

Olly's TITAN LEGION.
Plasma Destructors and Volcano Cannons cover the field. In the distance an Eldar titan feels badly outnumbered and desperately outgunned.



The Eldar light-tank formations




The Eldar Phantom managed to hide behind a large building, forcing the titan legion to flank around it



Another Titan comes in from the other side.



Space Wolf armour.



The Wolves clash with MisterBruce's terminator formation



Landspeeders from what is soon to be an amazing looking Marine army.



Jason's Gargants. Dice track their shields and hull points; these metal beasts do not die easy.



Bad A$$.



A Gargant clashes with Steve's Iron Warrior defilers



Having drawn on objectives, the Orks managed to sneak a victory by 8.5 points (out of 3000!) over the Iron Warriors.




Black Templars defend a manufacturing complex



More Ork titans. Everyone agreed - they need more guns and arms.



Doobleg running the Death Korps AT-AT Warhound and Shadowsword



Orks dragged the Death Korps infantry into massive combats that left huge amounts of guardsmen and gorgon transports destroyed. Doobleg would still somehow manage to pull a victory from the jaws of defeat.




Duro's Space Marines



Orks fight Eldar Shining Spears



Second place for best painted went to this terrific Titan legion.



First place to Steve's Iron Warriors.
Iron Within, Iron Without - this army will have its revenge.

Note that the players were split into two streams, both of which were random in round 1 and seeded in round 2 and 3. I think this worked well for a tournament designed to encourage new players (half the players were brand new and at their first Epic tournament - which is brilliant!), and it lead to some very close games. In fact there was only a single blow out 5-0 win during the day, and several games went to round 4 and victory-point tie breakers.

There were some great looking armies on display, with the Best Army trophy being awarded to Steve with the tiniest of margins over Olly's brand new Titan Legion (19 vs 18 'Favourite' votes).

The games looked good, it sounded like everyone had a great time, and my only regret was not being able to play in each of the 18 matches personally

Thanks for the photos; it looks like a great time!

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

Looks like a great tourni!

Were those void shield and structure point dice holders/counters for the Reavers from Dystopian Wars? Brilliant idea btw.

I found a few more pics that I thought I'd share.


Space wolves head into the Valley of the Shadow of Death



AMTL Titans the moment before ork deathstrikes started to fall on them.



Fighting back to back.



Shadowswords cover the approaches to a ruined city



Krieg prepare for assault behind a screen of rough riders and warhounds.



The Krieg take more casualties than there are enemies, but sheer numbers carry the day.



The Iron Warrior ordinatus falls to enemy terminators.



Predators attempt to outflank enemy defilers.

Wish I was there. Great looking Terrain! And the Titan dice bucket counter thingys are way to cool

Yes, and it is a great idea. I plan to steal it for my own army. Just trying to "remember things" is for suckers.
