Hi,

Battle report from this monday, with 6K Adeptus Mechanicus defending against 2K Space Marines and an infinite number of IG in small boats (4K at a time...)

The scenario is a custom D-Day recreation.

There's a fluff Intro here:

And a BatRep with lots and lots of pictures here:

Enjoy!

Stunning batrep. Loved the beach terrain and the landing craft. Are the landing craft Old Crow? I was tempted by them when I was working. And 2 nicely painted armies fighting a huge battle- truly Epic!!

Thanks for sharing

Yes, the landing crafts and hoover crafts are from Old Crow. They have a perfect size. Perhaps they are a little low on details, but as they are not moved around alot you dont really notice during the game.

It was a fantastic game, and I reallly look forward to play the scenario again. It would be truly epic to have a IG vs IG version, and I have heard that a ork invasion fleet is closing.

wow, that was truly amazing. It felt both very atmospheric and also very realistic - pretty much exactly how you'd expect a combined air and sea assault to go. Reminded me a lot of the D-day landings. Just futuristic :)

Adeptus Mechanicus Planetary Defense Force, version 2.02B (currently in playtest)

Hop over here to find it (and the lively debate over said robots).

Thanks! We put a lot of effort into making the scenario and the special rules as d-day-like and balanced as possible. Still it required some self-restrain when constructing the army lists.
