May 1st Apocaypse

[Garou24]

Here are some photos from the big game. 15,000+ points per side. Chaos verses Dark Angels, Space Wolves and some Ultramarines.

This is the link to my photobucket album with more photos.

Dawn rises over Fenris......




James got a nice shot of the chaos troops lined up before deplyment.... there are more still not in this photos, but thats 12 feet of troops


The titans are coming...




Here is the board setup after deployment.




Team Chaos really needed to make that save...


Chris' Thunderbolt makes a daring attack, buts well rewarded by stripping the reaver of its void sheilds.


The Warhound titan and Brass scorpion go toe to toe...


With the waround left a steaming ruin, the Brass Scorpion looks for more prey.


Surprise! Kharn and 50 friends flank march in behind the enemy lines.


Wait! What is that titan doing back again? Steve and Chris ressurected it with their Stratagem.


The warhound unloads along with the nearby dreadnoughts and reduce the reaver to 1 structure point. Logan Grimar then rushes in and finishes the titan off with a mighty swing from his hammer.


Chris' angels have their hands full.


Wait! What is that reaver doing back? Having picked the same stragem James and I were able to also bring back the pain with a roll of 5.


Then we once again put down that warhound. With the game extending late into the night we called it after turn 3 so we could clean up. Its was a blast, thought I would share with you all.

It WAS a blast. Easily the most fun I've had in a big game. A very laid back group, blowing stuff up! ;D Thanks again, Brian. Can't wait till next time.

Here are my pictures, too. I wrote a little commentary from the Imperials point of view.

"Brother Ulrik, this is where we shall make our stand against the Chaos scum!" "Aye, Great Wolf. This looks as good as any"





The Ultra Marines, Dark Angels and Space Wolves approach the battle field.



"We are in position Great Wolf, and await your order"


"The Ancients have arisen and await your command"


The Forces of Chaos Approach



The Thunderbolt takes to the air as the battle begins.


"Sir they've got a Reaver Titan!" "Stand your ground Men! This Day will recorded in the annuls and the Skalds will sing our praises for generations to come."



The Reavers Massive guns begin to whirl as they prepare to fire, meanwhile the machines of war approach.



The fearsome Brass Scorpion has found a target and moves in as the titans square of for close combat.


The Warhound fights for it's life.

Despite it's best effort, the Brass Scorpion is designed to kill Titans in close combat. It leaves the smoldering shell of the titan in search of a new target.


Meanwhile the Reaver sends volley after volley leaving only death and destruction in its wake.


"Come Brothers, we must get to that Reaver Titan and take out its legs!" "Wait! Here comes a Hellhammer to block our way Great Wolf!" "Then we'll go through it! I will not let this stand in our way. We must take out that Titan or all is lost! Where the Hell is the 3rd Warhound! We need something to deal with those void shields to give us the opening we need!


Meanwhile, the battle that rages on across the area is fierce and bloody. The likes of which have been seen by few who live today.




The other Imperial Warhound is destroyed and only a smoldering crater remains.


The Dark Angels' Thunderbolt makes a daring move to harass and distract the titan, giving Logan Grimnar and his Wolf Guard the time they need to deal with the Hell Hammer and move in on the Reaver.



"The Maelstrom of Gore is upon us! The Berserkers have come in on our flank! Rally on my signal men, we must hold them off!"


Meanwhile Logan Grimnar and his Wolfguard manage to immobilize the Hell Hammer leaving them free to move in on the Reaver.

When all seems lost the Warhound finally emerges from the trees and sends a devastating volley into the Reaver, leaving it reeling and the crew desperately trying to regain control of it. "Now men! We must finish this now! For Russ!!!!" The remaining Wolfguard and Grimnar charge in Barley clearing the height of its toes and land blow after mighty blow upon it. Arjac Rockfist Throws his mighty weapon, Foe Hammer, at the titan taking out the last of the void shields and one of it's structure points. With a howl of rage and ferocity, Logan raises the Axe of Morkai, it's power shimmering throughout the ancient weapon, and lands a blow that was heard across much of the battle field. Somehow, it manages to penetrate the armor, sending its electrical charges (and some say the power of Russ himself) through the titan, up it's leg and into its very core, causing a chain reaction and great explosions. As the dust clears, Grimnar and his two most trusted Wolfguard emerge victorious, Bloody and scarred but still able to battle.
The Titan has been reduced to nothingness, leaving only a crater where it once stood. Howls of victory rang out across the battle field as they watched it fall, giving them back the will to fight on!


"Great Wolf, I don't believe my eyes! Here comes another Reaver!"




To be continued after the next Apocalypse battle.......

Thanks! The Brass Scorpion and Reaver have more painting one since these photos. I am taking my time with them, but I also get distracted easily too I wanted them 100% done for the GT Apocalypse game, so I am working hard to make sure they are done right.
