Game Called due to Weather

So our scheduled game for today, our 400 points battles, got cancelled due to the extremely warm weather. It is looking now that our planned get together might be pushed back for at least two to four weeks due to conflicts in people's schedules and such.
Anyways, I'll be sure to keep you all posted.

Until Next Time!

Objectives - In Progress

As making objectives are part of the army progress I started on mine the other day, here are some screenshots. When creating these I couldn't stop myself from creating them as a sort of self contained little stories.

This poor sod was an advance scout out behind enemy lines gathering intelligence, unfortunately he did not select his cover very carefully as he took a shot to the right eye leaving all his gathered intelligence going to waste out of reach Imperial Hands.

This Guardsman almost made it back to the underground bunker he was stationed at after going out to scavenge some resources....almost. Who knows what the underground bunker holds for weapons, intel or other possible valuables. 

Still working on the base of this one. A small unmanned drone sent out to serve as a spotter for the rest of the army.

As this is the first time I'm actually creating some objectives to use ingame I hope this is about what was expected of me. I guess I will find out...

Of course everything can change next month where we add another 200 points to the total of which at least one has to be a Troops choice to get that point. Also asked for is an Objective Marker.

Imperial Guard - Orks

My own game this time round where I, playing the Imperial Guard, got squared off against a green skinned horde more numerous than my own forces...

Jeroen's Imperial Guard

Imperial Guard (11 Models)

Commissar Lord Tahnhauser

Veteran Squad

- Sergeant O'Malley - Shotgun

- 6 Shotguns

- Melta Guns

Rutger's Orks

Orks (14 Models)
Ork Warboss
- Warboss Argh!
- Power Klaw
13 Ork Boyz
- Nob with Powerklaw
- Big Shoota

The game was very close, the Imperial Guard was doing okay picking off the Orks one by one, but cover made this a lot harder. Once the Orks reached the Guardsmen they basically stood no chance. The game ended after turn 5 where we counted Victory Points.
Making the Imperial Guard the victor by 1 point, at this time the only models left standing were Lord Commissar Tahnhauser (2 wounds left) and 3 Ork Boyz.
For the hell of it we added a quick turn to see what would have happened if we had continued. The end result was that the Lord Commissar can look for some more cannon fodder to use next month.

Winner: Imperial Guard

Space Wolves - Necrons

The third game of the day featured John's Space Wolves squaring off against Patrick's Necrons.
Forces used in the game consisted of the following:

Patrick's Necrons

 Necrons (7 Models)
Overlord
- Overlord Imhotekh (Sempiternal Weave, Warscythe)
Necron Warriors
- Phalanx XIII

John's Space Wolves

Space Wolves (7 Models)
Wolf Guard Battle Leader
- Battle Leader Braveheart (Power Weapon)
6 Blood Claws
- Power Fist

This game marked the first time when one of the Space Marine Chapters got defeated by an opposing force.

Winner: Necrons

White Scars - Imperial Guard

Sander and Jack got the ball going by being the first two to take to the field and they got the game so fast it almost looked like they had a score to settle or something...
The two forces consisted of the following:

Sander's White Scars

White Scars (6 Models)
Space Marine Captain in Power Armour
- Captain Sandokahn
Tactical Squad
- Sergeant Khasar
- 4 Space Marines

Jack's Imperial Guard

Imperial Guard (15 Models)
Command Squad
- Company Commander (Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon)
- 2 Imperial Guardsmen
- Heavy Weapon Team (Missile Launcher)
Veteran Squad
- Sergeant
- 7 Imperial Guardsmen (2 Flamer, 1 Heavy Flamer)
- 1 Heavy Weapon Team (Missile Launcher)

This game took place further away so I did not witness the events unfolding on this battlefield up close but I do know that in the end it came down to two models. The Space Marine Captain ended up squaring off with the Company Commander.... with predictable results.

Winner: White Scars

Space Wolves - Imperial Guard

One of the two first games that was played from the get go. Both Richard and Nils took the time to setup a mission and roll for the special rule that came with the commander of their forces.
The forces they selected consisted of the following:

Richard's Space Wolves

Space Wolves (7 Models)

Wolf Priest
- Wolf Priest Haefnir

Grey Hunter Squad

- Sergeant

- 5 Grey Hunters

- Plasma Gun

Nils' Imperial Guard

Imperial Guard (15 Models)
Command Squad
- Company Commander Cruderian (Plasma Pistol)
- 4 Melta Guns
Veteran Squad
- Sergeant
- 7 Shotguns
- 3 Melta Guns

Having Observed this match it was going really well for the Imperial Guard as long as they stuck to cover, the first several turns they were picking off several of the Space Wolf models to great frustration of Richard.
The tide turned once the Space Wolves managed to get in cover and the Guard ended up being caught in the open, where they were slowly whittled down.

Winner: Space Wolves
