A random grab-bag of images from yesterday.

Big and little brothers (40k-scale Armorcast models not painted by me!):

Most of the DG in their box:

Pile of stuff the night before:

Two Epic tables:

Image

Death Guard and Beasts hold the Landing Pad objective marker, this eventually gave the Apoc Chaos forces an extra Orbital Strike.

Image

Brokenbayonet's WIP Ferals against Jonathan's LotD. Apparently the Lords of Battle (two of them!) caused utter havoc.

Image

A combination of War Walkers arriving through a Wraithgate and flyers strafing do very little to the six Contagion Engines. Eventually it took the two Revenants to put them out of action.

Image

The War Walkers then dissolved under the combined firepower of two Plaguereapers - five dice for the barrages, 12 dice from the Lascannon and Heavy Bolters and two dice from the Thunderers. Plus the Defiler's shots on top of that.

Image

Image

My vicious plan to sweep the right flank goes horribly wrong. Ronan had two Ulthwe Guardian stands and a Falcon formation close enough that they were intermingled so I bought in the Infestation and (as usual) rolled 11 + 3 for the number of gribblies. >:D Wanting to get some blast markers on the lot before doing a combined assault with a DG Retinue, Infestation and summoned Daemons, I mistakenly opened up with the Armoured Company of four Predators and three LRs on the Falcons and killed four out of five - leaving the AC out of supporting fire range. Oops. Thanks partly to not spotting two Warlock stands per formation, fluffing the CC attacks and not having supporting fire, I lost the assault after roughly even odds.

Image

The same spot a couple of turns later.

Image

The game eventually went to Ronan at the end of turn four (two points to zero) due to some very silly activation choices on my part* but the landing pad was the only 'special' objective held rather than contested, so the game still helped my side more in the big Apoc game. :)

*'Oh my, one of the two objectives in my half is being held by a lone Falcon in easy range of the DG Retinue's Havocs and the DG Retinue in a Plague Tower, should I shoot it and automatically break it? Nah, I'll shoot the Guardian Host on my base camp objective with a very low chance of breaking them and also the other Guardians on the Eldar base camp, with a better chance of breaking them but knowing that it won't alter the VPs in any way.'

:{[] :{[] :{[]


Game two against brokenbayonet. As time was short we went for a simple objective-dash game, which to be honest was a lot more fun than the grand tournament mission for the first round of games. :) Waaaay to many Orks, Squiggoths (small dinosaurs), Orkeosaurii (big dinosaurs) and that darn formation of three Steam Gargants with MW barrages.

Image

Image

One turn in, shortly before almost the entire formation of Orks got wiped out by one DG Retinue advancing up into support range including a Great Unclean One followed by a retained initiative so that the DG Retinue in the tower plus their own Lesser Daemons engaged...

I think the assault resolution roll was something like +11 v. +3. My only casualty was a Plaguebearer, the attackers didn't even suffer a blast marker. :-\

Image

We had to finish towards the end of turn two due to time, but it went to three objectives held by each of us while the seventh was contested - 3.5 all!


EDIT - you can see all the images including the Apocalypse ones here: http://exeter-inquisition.org/gallery/2 ... -epic-apoc

Looking good great to see them in action and I'm glad I'm not the only one with toy dinosaur Squiggoths.

Blip - we're thinking of making this a bimonthly event.

That urban table looks great, sucks for the now 3 legged AT-AT though.

In the later photos about a third of the buildings had been removed as it turned out to be a bit tight for dino-heavy Feral Orks and WE-heavy LotD...

The AT-AT legs were bought on eBay, I didn't dismember a Kenner AT-AT!

Ooo - exciting ! I've managed to indoctrinate 3 of my friends back into epic so far - i painted up a couple of extra armies that i knew they couldn't resist playing and they then saw the light, now painting themselves... [ like a dealer, the first is free but then you pay >:D ]

So there's up to four of us that would be up for a semi regular jaunt up the A30 for fresh games - keep in touch.

Currently SMs, BT Eldar and Guard. Nids in progress...

The only spanner in the works is the "almost certainty" of a revised necromunda/inquisitor box-set being released this autumn... barbie scale here we come :D

I thought so too but was told after the first game that it was too crowded. :(

Bah :gah

Real battles have terrain. Your opponents must be 6th Edition 40k players ;) The serious lack of terrain is one of the hot topics/debates occurring in that realm right now.

Agree!
Someone might have just been a bit whiny, hehe ::)

PS: Like the 40k/Epic comparison shots btw!
