The Fall of Triturus IV

By TheGraveMind

A Xenos Inquisitor on Triturus II investigating a Genestealer cult first saw the signs of the coming invasion. He sent word to the world of Triturus IV once reports of converging Tyranid splinter fleets were confirmed. Once the entity known as The Swarmlord was sighted, an all out request for aid was sent for reinforcements.

The Wardens of Truth (Dark Angels) fight the xeno (ork) menace. I rushed to get bikers and the rest of the army assembled and primed for this event.

December Apocalypse

By TheGravemind 

 

Bloomington had their December Apoc game this past weekend. They based it off of the Rescue of the Revenge mission where chaos is boarding an imperial ship. It gave everyone a pretty small deployment area, very close to each other. It also put a size limit essentially limiting the super heavies that could be brought.

Deathwing in Apocalypse

By TheGravemind

So some of you might remember I have a deathwing force I started sometime back. It was originall planned to be a Mantis Warrior first company force using deathwing rules. The 6th edition happened and terminators were supposed to be better. And then the DA book was on the way so they waited. Deathwing sucks now, so they sit primed on a shelf. I had even bought chapter house shoulderpads for them.

Tyranids in the new Apocalypse

by TheGraveMind

Say you want to play a game of the new Apocalypse but you have a tyranid collection, what do you do? Well before the new release I would have told you to not even bother. Not being able to assault from reserves, D weapons removing whole units of anything at a time, Large no man lands that are death to any infantry to cross them meant little Tyranids could do. Well a few things have changed, some better some worse.

apoc nids vs guard and marines

A friend of mine invited me o play in a apoc game they where playing in on Saturday a couple of weekends back. I agreed knowing it was going to be a busy weekend of 40k. Saturday morning we where starting this apoc game, that night I was playing my escalation league games and on Sunday I was playing a apoc game I put together for the battlemallet regulars.

The game was alot of fun It was guard and marines holding a fortified position in the center of the board. With the tyranids attacking from both sides. Each player had 3000 points my friend used the tyranids that I was not using. I let him run all the little bugs and swarm element and I took 3000 points of big bugs. the only super heavy in the game was my one trygon which I ran as the imperial armor one (over all not sure if it is worth it).

apoc followed by apoc

due to holidays and some family drama I was unable to post but I should have a few games I played posted on here in the next few days but to hold you over till then. A couple of weekends ago I played two apoc games in one weekend, one in which TheGraveMind played with me. He already posted about it here so ill just post the few pictures I took and leave it at that. The other apoc game ill post in another post and mention the key moments so not to over load one post with so many pictures.
