Top Deck Games - Game Night 09/01/2010

Well I went up to the LGS tonight, Top Deck Games, and tried to get in a game of 40K.  Due to bad timing I wasn't able to grab an opponent in time so I played my stepson, Dalon(13), and taught him a few things.  So not a battle report, as it was a training mission, but a few pics of our models out in play.  I also grabbed a few shots of the other armies out at the shop per Xiophen's request!  So here they are!


This first pic is of my deployment zone.  As you can see I have 3 units of Long Fangs in the rear with good lanes of fire!  You can't see it but behind that ruin is my Thunderwolf Lord ready to pounce on anything that enters the backfield!

This second picture is also of my deployment zone with a peek into Dalon's deployment zone.  As you can see I couldn't wait for him to come to me so I push my mech line up WAY further than I would for a seasoned opponent!  Sorry bud no insult intended.  The unit this side of the tower on foot was shot out of their rhino that was providing cover for the advancing razorbacks to the right.  It did it's job well as those two razorbacks held supporting fire the whole game!

This third pic was a closer shot detailing the left side of the table.  As you can see I have another two razorbacks being screened, currently, by one rhino who tied up two lone wolves and a Grey Hunter squad while my Thunderwolf Lord came in to mop them all up!  That green circle over to the right by the tower was a rhino who made up the two tank screen that didn't quite make it.  They found the second lone wolf to play with though and managed to put one wound on him!

Here is a good shot of Dalon's deployment zone.  As you can see here I managed to pop two rhinos and two land speeders.  Believe it or not these were done on first turn!  He failed to move those long fangs in that swamp looking terrain all game.  As a matter of fact I forgot to mention it to him.  I guess there's one more lesson for him to learn.  They really didn't shoot all game which is a waste.  One turn of movement and he could have been popping razorbacks! On the piece of terrain in the bottom right corner is an immobilized landspeeder that sat there the whole game after deepstriking in turn two.  That's right folks, the tinfoil skimmer just sat and shot it's multimelta for 3 more turns until he finally knocked off the multimelta and heavy flamer!

This shot is just a birds eye view of Dalon's deployment zone.  You can see his Long Fangs in good position on the top floor of the ruin in his backfield.  Sad to say they really didn't do much all game as I made good use of cover and smoke launchers!

This is a pic of Bill moving his beautifully painted Dark Angels army.  He is a regular at the shop and attends many of the tournaments in this part of the states!  His opponent is another regular at the shop, Dave.  Dave fields the stinky cheese Eldar army.  Enjoy!

Another quick pic of the Eldar battle line.

These cool cats here I have no idea who they are.  I've seen them once or twice when I've stopped in to say hello.  Perhaps one of these will be my next opponent?  Anyhow it is the Orks against the Black Templars teamed up with Nids!?!?

A quick and blurry pic of a landraider popping a wheelie.  Don't try this at home!
