Ta, all.

More lizards, good.

There will need to be a big jungle basing session soon, lots of lizards on plain bases at the minute.

Mini Epic - Tyranids vs Marines

Game 2 of our new cut down epic rules - it went pretty well, and led to another major deletion of rules around the Fire Fights, mainly as the ability to FF many times in a turn seemed far too good. So FF has gone as a concept, you can have short range shooting in an Assault, using FF values. Or you can do short range shooting using FF values.

Anyway lots of photos

At the start of the game, the 'Nids are attacking out of some toxic cloud that gives them cover, the red Marines are trying to survive!



The 'nids surge forward into cover


The marines make use of their mobility to air-land and teleport in on the Nid's rear, breaking the Dactalyis artillery formation


I kept plowing forwards, here a formation of assault marines has just been eaten, and the snipers are looking worried. In the centre the noose tightens


End game - Trygon swarm has erupted from tunnels to the rear of the Marines, and eaten lots of them. In the buildings the large swarm has smashed many marines there too. In my rear the air landed troops have messed with my artillery support, but its taken them quite a lot of time to do this.


For those of you who asked about the rules the other week, I'll send out some PMs.

I like those huge rock towers!

That are cool aren't they, There were a couple of even bigger ones at the edges of the table - but not my table I'm afraid.

More 6mm Sci Fi



Space Marines vs Necrons. The Marines shot the Necrons to pieces, but didn't pay enough attention to the time limit of the game, so weren't really pushing to hold the objectives, but the Necrons through in the towel anyway!

Looking good.
How many points?

[fred.]

4k a side.

This one gives a better idea of the initial forces
