Epic G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. - AAR #2

++++++  Message Start  ++++++

To Commandar Krause of the Dark Lion Space Marine Chapter

The planetary government of Antia has stopped distribution of agro supplies to the Imperial collectors.  Repeated attempts to reinstate the delivery of these supplies have failed.

Review of available data has shown this planet and its government has significant similarities with others that have come under the influence of Chaos.  There seems to be a 86.42% chance that there is a large chaos cultist influence on the government and its population.  It is important to note that there are significant deviations from previous experiences with the corrupting influence of the dark gods.  At this time, though the deviations cannot be explained so we must assume that you will face forces of the dark gods.

Scans of the planet show a PDF contingent deployed around an agro processing/storage plant.  You will deploy your forces to the south of this plant and then advance on through a wooded area and destroy the opposition.  Any data you collect regarding the corrupting influence should be forwarded on to fleet command for further review and analysis.

My group and I played another game of GASLIGHT using my collection of Epic 40k models.

This game took place a few months ago and I failed to write anything up for the game, so I'm afraid, I don't have many details of the game for you.  However, I did take a few pictures so will at least be able to share a bit of eye candy.

The original transmission stated that there was some Chaos taint among the local population, but it turned out that it was actually a Genestealer cult and the invasion of Tyranid forces was already underway.

The Tyranid forces in this game came on kind of piece-meal, so they didn't put up much of a fight for the Marines.  And when the Terminators teleported into the middle of the Guard lines, the game was over pretty quickly.

I need to make some adjustments to stats for our next game, but I think this was a fun game and I look forward to the next engagement.

Hopefully, I will get some more Guard and Tyranid models painted before then as well.

Tale of an Epic Gamer - November 2015 Goal Completed

I know this is a little late, but the purchase of a new house and the ensuing renovation has killed my painting time.

However, before I got started on the house projects, I did finish my November goal, I just never got around to taking pictures of the completed models.

Well, I finally found some time and set up the models for a photo shoot.

Imperial Guard were the subject of my work in November and below you can see my handy work.

I painted a full Abhuman Company... in this case Beastmen.

I also painted a full company of Leman Russ Tanks.

Finally, I painted up 2 squadrons of Sentinels.

Not a bad collection to add to what I had previously painted.

The Imperial Guard are my smallest Epic force (points wise) that I painted this year.  I like the look of the army and look forward to adding more tanks and some artillery units.  There will also be more infantry added including some of the various specialist infantry options.

Tale of an Epic Gamer - November 2015

My goal for November is to finish my Imperial Guard.

My goal for this army this month is to paint an Abhuman Company, finish off the Leman Russ Company that I previously started, and 2 squadrons of Sentinels.

I've already made good progress toward the goal this month and I'm confident that I can complete it.  I might even be able to get a few other items done if I make good use of my time.

LaserStorm - Army lists for my Epic 40K armies - Part 2

I have played a few games with my Eldar and Space Marine lists and found a couple of things that needed to be updated.

I also have been working on building lists for a few of the other races in the 40K universe.

I have created new PDFs for these army's and have posted them on Google Docs for anyone that is interested.  The links for the PDFs are below.

Eldar Army List updated 11-4-15

Space Marine Army List updated 11-4-15

Imperial Guard Army List updated 11-4-15

Tyranid Army List updated 11-4-15

These are just my thoughts and ideas on these armies.  I would love to hear your thoughts on these lists.

Also, if you find any errors in my calculations of points, please let me know and I will make corrections.

The next army that I plan to build stats for will be the Orks.

6mm armies in action

Here are some pictures of some of my 6mm models on the table in battle.

Most of the terrain is scratch build by me, but there is a ruin that is GW Epic ruined building sprue.  The fancy detailed terrain pieces are resin models from Micropanzer Wargames Studio.

All the models are Games Workshop with the exception of a few modifications to some of the Space Marine Vehicles.  The Predators and Razor Backs have been modified from basic Rhinos with the addition of turrets and sponsons from Epic Army Minis via Shapeways.
