Votan Warriors

 

My opponent is painting their army up in the nice green and bronze color scheme you see here. It's going to look awesome when its' done!

 

 

In midnight clad: the Nostroman line

 

 

Excess siphons points away from the foe

We played the wonderful asymmetric mission "Tip of the Spear" in which the attacker starts with 0 primary points and the defender starts with 0. Then the attacker can siphon points away from the defender by holding objectives.

 

 

Scout Sentinel vs. Squats

In a hilarious turn of events, my opponent began believing that his poor dice rolls were caused by my un-killable Scout Sentinel. He kept trying and failing to blow it up. And then, when he finally did destroy it, his dice started being nicer to him. Maybe my opponent was right after all. 

 

 

Bezerks chop up Reaver

 

 

Hearthkin liquidate 3rd Squad

 

 

Swirling melee

 

In the end, the forces of Votan won a close 8-point victory. It was a hilarious and fun game and I really enjoy the asymmetric missions. 

 

 

My MVP: the Scout Sentinel Hound of Chaos for messing with my opponent's head and being a bringer of bad mojo to his dice rolls

 

Tactical Notes: I tried outflanking a large blob of infantry. This is something I did regularly in previous editions with my Tallarn Imperial Guard army. It worked decently here with my Nostroman Traitor Guard in this game. But outflanking did take the blob away from the main action during the early game. I'll experiment more with this.

 

Also, I forgot to use the uppy downy sentinel strat and it would have helped with secondaries in this game. Live and learn.

 

 

 

Enjoy the photos!
