BIG GAME 2016 -- part 2

As promised, these are all the pictures I took of games that took place on other tables throughout the weekend. So in no particular order, let's get to it!

But first, Conan.

Note the PBR case as light-blocking shade. This is a key piece of equipment.

BIG GAME 2016 -- Part 1

First, the pictures from the game I played with Dan, Steve, Dale, Jesse, and Tim. This was the first D-Co Big Game I've been involved in facing down Orks instead of being on the Xenos' side. Instead I brought the entire 7th Brotherhood of Grey Knights under Grand Master Covan Leorac to assist an alignment of Inquisitors. The force might not be one expected to fight an exceptional alliance of aliens instead of Warp-denizens, especially when several Traitor Legions have been detected in the area. However, Chapter 666's Prognosticars made clear with unusual specificity that it was the unsettling cooperation of Eldar and Ork that was the true threat to Doricar1.

Anyway, I took a lot of pictures. So many that I have to split them up. This post will be of the 12+ hour game I was part of in the Genizah Forest, presented in mostly chronological order. The rest of what I took will post tomorrow night.

Knights in Fairyland

I just made an awesome eBay purchase this week. I needed three more terminators real quick for the Big Game 2016 and saw an hilariously painted squad on a Buy it Now sale. I'm guessing the pink & white pauldrons were meant to resemble toadstools. And it might not show up on the phone's camera, but the swords have a really nice shimmery metallic blue finish.

Anyway, I was inspired by our newly sprouted seedlings in the sunny bay window. Someone else has to enjoy this besides me.

This one also had his shoulder pads glued on sideways. The pink is getting painted over, of course, but I think I might keep him modeled like this. Makes his silhouette even wider.

Doric Incursion

This is going to be a very truncated battle report compared to some of my usual ones. This was meant to be more of a familiarization for both of us leading up to next month's D-Co Big Game.

Turn 1 after my Movement Phase and
Deep Striking units arrive.

Big Guns or Really Big Guns?

Have been building these guys for a while and finally got them painted last week. I was hoping to play them in-game as Inquisitorial servitors with heavy weapons. Plasma cannons and heavy bolters, respectively. They're not fully painted in these photos, but they are pretty close.

Mogrok and Mungus Make a Mighty Waaagh!

 "Orkamungus is pilin up big heaps o' tyres. He is almos' got all he can get. Does it seem ta yous like the days is getting longer? Like dat 'uge pile o' wheels is throwin' off da roatashun of False Hope? Dis planet don't seem ta got much more rubba left on it. In fact, I hear he's allowin' so a few of his meks can build a wagon or three wiv some of the better specimens. Guess he was gettin pretty tired o' haulin imself around on foot.
Oy! I fink I just made a joke! Get it? Pretty 'tired'?! Har!
Anyways.
So did I tell ya I was here wif Sootmouf an' 'is crew when we blasted outta 'dat big pile of 'umie fortress? But I dunno where he been for da last coupla days. He took them big Stompas and such blowin' up pretty hard. Lucky I got Mogrok ta take me in. Hear ol' Mogrok done some tricksy stuff over in Sanctus Reach. Him and sum da bosses wanna let us zoom around dis next scrum we got planned tomorra in dem speedy warkoptas. Get right up into the faces of the weedy little sorcerers they got runnin around. Oughta be nice and zoggy, that. Little gits won't see it comin!"

Da Red Waaagh! Has Landed

Last week my Orks defended their dropships in part 2 of the Red Waaagh! Campaign I've been slowly playing through with joe. Big Mek Sootmouf was tasked (along with his Big Mek Stompa 'Junkinata') to keep the Imperial pressure off of the mustering Roks and dropships, including Grukk's personal Wrath of Gork. Meanwhile the Knights of Alaric Prime and their Cadian allies chose this point to effect a breakthrough of the Ork lines.
