My, my, mycetic spore


Had a game with my mate Ben the other night, made more interesting by an old friend Scott stopping by to show off his ruptured Achilles Tendon. I didn't record the match, something I probably regret now, particularly as I ran a three Spore Pod list!


We called it a draw in the end, it was going to go into turn 6 but it was 1:00am and even though I had most of the objectives Ben had Slay the Warlord, First Blood and a VP from Big Guns. It certainly wasn't impossible for him to get Liebreaker to draw even with me and my secondary objective scores. The real excitement though was he had a bunch of Orks assault my Mycetic Spore and finally it got to mash someone up big style. With hindsight there were some Orks who weren't in base contact who would have got to hit first but it squished two Orks flat before a Nob cut him up with his Power Klaw.


Still, it finally happened so I thought I'd share.

Battle Brothers - Best Army nominations and other pictorial goodness

Y'know how in the past I would separate out all the pictures I took at Warhammer World into a couple of posts, well what if I was just to forego all of that and put them all in one. Would that be nice, or annoying? Let me know, please. First up one of the White Dwarf Team's Wraith Knight, this thin was absolutely stunning, so much detail, I think it's going to feature in next month's White Dwarf


I think this is Jes Bickham's Tau, which was allied with the above [and below] Eldar, equally stunning work.


Absolutely love the scrollwork on it's tabard/skirt/kilt!



This Ork army went on to win best army.


I've no idea what this is supposed to be.


Really like these tau Marker Lights - ingenious sue of tiddliwinks and cool colour too.




Some beautifully finished Eldar.


And these Grey Knights weren't bad either.


Some more Tau, I especially like the 'ceramic' tiles on the base that actually looked like real ceramic tiles, I've no idea how they were done though. 






Here's Dan and I, we fielded just our army list with a few extra gaunts.


Mixed them up a bit although having seen some of the other combined displays I did think it looked better to see two halves of the same army, maybe next time if I'm lucky again.



With the Magnir's Crag diorama now in the Exhibition Hall I took the opportunity to try and capture some of it's awesomeness.



Nice shots to use in the backgrounds of your own composite pics. 





Bring that Speeder down!


KABOOM! Now that's a blast.


Like the variety in those Honoured Imperium models


Winner of last years Armies on Parade. never noticed the Doom before, interesting effect drilling into the carapace like that. Also a possessed tower of some sort that actually looks a little like Tyranid terrain, worthy of inspiration at least.


Eldar




Love this Vendetta.


Some cool guard






And the classic Games Day model.
