These aren't exactly battle reports, since I was just table hopping around the tournament, but I am sure everyone would like to see some photos of the terrific armies at this years CANCON Australian national epic tournament.

A close up of some gorgeously crisp White Scars

Image

A perfect combination of poise and menace

Image

One of the many titans fighting for glory over the weekend.

Image

The Hive Swarm descends

Image

Mic Fair's Shining Spears. Terrific looking models, but I've no sympathy for them - this squad of Eldar bikes single-handedly wiped out a formation of 2 gorgon troop transports and 20 brave Krieg infantry. Their lances sliced through armour, destroyed some men and annihilated the remainder with a hack-down roll.

Image

Poxy Space elves :Þ

A Phantom titan, guarding nightspinners

Image


Dobbsy's truly amazing Space Wolves.

Image

I've seen many of these models before, but it's still amazing to see them close up.

Image



Guard super heavy tank formation

Image

A Steel Legion regimental HQ, backed up by leman russ, a Warhound and Thunderbolts

Image

ORKS! Orks stretching as far as the eye can see!

Image

Red ones go faster - What these units lack in accuracy they make up for in pure enthusiasm.

Sam (Fudd)'s terrific AMTL Titans, bristling with firepower. These would soon be shipped to an Ice Planet to battle in the emperor's name.

Image

My Hoth-styled Death Korps prepare for battle. Fudd's AMTL has shocking amounts of high powered guns, but lacked blast weapons. That small mercy meant the Krieg could deploy in very tight formation behind line of sight blockers and use the terrain to force the enemy to have to move before unleashing their firepower. Every point of 'to-hit' makes a huge difference when fighting heavily armed titans.

Image

The AMTL - 3 reavers and a warhound, screened by sentinels that are so dwarfed by the big war machines that only the one in the centre is visible.

Image

The Supreme Commander force-chokes discipline into the men.

Image

When 'Crashing a Thunderhawk model' is considered a sane way to create an objective, you know you're playing Epic.

Image

Taun-Taun rough riders charge to engage the enemy sentinels.

Image

THE TRAP IS SPRUNG! The enemy "Break their Spirit" reaver is hit with blast markers to prep it for assault, its void shields reduced and and then pinned between two massive Krieg formations in a tremendous assault.

Image

The Krieg attack includes four Gorgon war machines, direct assault firefight from 20 stands of infantry, the inspiration of a Commissar and supporting fire from another 20 infantry stands for a total of 52 dice rolled against the great metallic beast.

Image

And despite all this, of course the Reaver won, killing some men, badly damaging a gorgon and breaking the massive formation :D

Even sending in another massive wave of 20 stands of men with 20 fire support only managed to barely scratch the paint with 1 hull point removed, meaning that it required a shadowsword's volcano cannon and a direct hit from a Death Strike missile to finish the job.

That's one Legendary Reaver.

Great stuff. I don't know if the THawk would still be intact after a landing like that, but so long as the Marines got to disembark it's all good.
