Ran a bunch of convention demos for Epic: Armageddon last weekend.

 

That backdrop adds so much atmosphere, love it!

Cheers @Matcap86, that's the way I like my pics ;)

That's a really nicely set up board. It's amazing how much that adds to the Board.

Thank you @Gillyfish, more to come :)

 

Painted a squadron of Valkyries for today's game. Selen II's armoured brigade can finally field infantry as well now that they have *some* proper transports for them :D

This time in Epic gaming: a three-way variant of the Battle of the Sulphur River, 4k NetEA armies (to win you must control the bridges and roadside towns). We altered the initiative system slightly so that each player could make one activation on both opposing fronts and retain on one of them before passing the initiative to avoid the common three player death-spiral where you must do something against one player while repeatedly getting pummeled by the other without time to respond. It worked really well.

 

The Orks and Imperial Fists went hard at each other, giving the PDF tankers ample time to roll over and smash their bridges clear with tonnes of merciless steel, ultimately taking the third bridge as well with a daring Valkyrie drop of stormtroopers who had gotten themselves together after spending most of the game panicking in a corner after repelling an orbital Ork drop hurtling towards them through the nearby office tower.

Epic game day at the club, four tables of Epic: Armageddon. Eldar, Death Guard, hellforged monstrosities, screaming mutants, Imperial Fists and a Guard's armoured battalion (my force) bashed it out through the day.

 

 

Also took a WIP family photo of Selen II's tankers, even if many of them still languish without their proper highlights...

Some inspiring stuff as always @Sherrypie! How did you get on against the Eldar? I had a game with them last week and they have some really annoying tricks (the extra activation and hit & run tactics especially!)

 

Some photos from a 30k Armageddon game, World Eaters vs Imperial Fists. The Fists had a really cool defensive theme (with mined areas, bunkers and these beautifully modelled bastions). My Warhound died (need to find the Latin for 'dies repeatedly' for its name), but I was able to get the objective of destroying the enemy most expensive unit.

Thanks @Pacific81, good stuff on your end too. I didn't get to slap the elves this time, mainly faciliating the games and punching holes in the Dark Mech. One of these days.

 

How about Repetere Morituris?
