Battle Pictures – Emperor’s Children vs Ultramarines Legion

Posted on February 27, 2015 by Jon

Some photos of the last battle I played with Ben; over Christmas. We played a city fight mission using the Mission Cards in White Dwarf. Ben used his Emperors Children and I used his Ultramarines Legion. The army lists where written using the Horus Heresy Space Marine legion army lists from book 1 betrayal.

The forced were fairly even I took a centurion, 3 Dreadnoughts 2 rhinos, 2 predators, a storm eagle a squad of exo armoured terminators and a tactical squad. Ben took almost the same force, a centurion, an imperial knight, a drop pod, a mk1 land raider, a storm eagle a squad of veterans and a tactical squad.

Ben started the game by dropping his centurion and Verteran squad into my deployment zone. His aggressive tactics resulted in a gradual dwindling of my units.

By the end of turn 6 my forces had been reduced to 4 legionnaires and a single Dreadnought, while Ben still had his knight, Storm Eagle and a full tactical squad. Fortunately for me the game ended at this point and due to completing more of my mission card I had secured the most victory points. While I won the game it felt more like a loss; given how little of my force where left.

A really interesting conversion with a simple yet effective insignia. I assume this counts at an attack bike in 40k.

It’s a bit of a blast from the past today.

Did you see the Ultramarine Bike Company at GamesDay 2012? The arrangement of the bike company was a bit strange. The commend squad is all over the place, however seeing a full bike company is a rare; so I’m not complaining. Can you find the missing Space Marine head?

The Battle of Calth Pictures from Warhammer Fest 2014

Posted on October 21, 2014 by Jon

The battle of Calth in pictures from Warhammer Fest 2014. The battle of Calth was the ultimate betrayal of the Emporer’s grand scheme. Friend turned on friend, battle brother on battle brother. The Word Bearers planed methodically to catch the Ultramarines off guard. Expecting assistance, instead the Ultramarines were out numbered at outgunned. whole Chapters of Ultramarines were wiped out before they knew what was happening. A small Ultramarine force mounted a resistance against unbeatable odds.

These pictures below were taken at Warhammer Fest 2014. This was by far the most popular display by Forgeworld and possibly the highlight of the event.

Golden Demon 2014 – 40k Single Miniature

Here are all of the 40k Single Miniature entries I was able to get pictures of. As I’ve already stated the standard was amazing this year. While I had improved my own Golden Demon entry I could completely understand why it didn’t make the finals, maybe next year. There is a lot on the model I wasn’t happy with. I was glad non of the Krom Dragongaze mini’s won (Never enter your 1st idea). Most of the models below didn’t even make the finals.

Apart from it being a bit crowded getting to the cabinets the atmosphere was far nicer this year. In fact I think this was the most enjoyable and cheapest Golden Demon I can remember. There was no freebies for entering and only a certificate for making the finals this year. I guess that will keep out the rubbish next year. It was noticeable some of the better painters had not entered this year although other’s had come from across Europe. Last years winner managed 3rd and I didn’t see Painting Buddha either, although the evidence of his DVDs and you tube videos was everywhere. Some of the old crowd that had turned up, looked a little disappointed the community hadn’t turned out in force. I think there were around 300 tickets remaining. Living fairly locally, I’m not sure if the location was a big put off for many this year. The venue was far nicer, Here’s hoping for the the ICC next year (just wishful thinking, nothing more.)
