Battle Gallery for
October 2007
We've been away for while (summer) and the season is now upon us. Brian and myself tested tournament armies, the Chaos
boys were here in full force and John made an appearance with his Tyranids. Welcom back John! I made a bunch of new
terrain for the new season - a lava board, a ton of swamp foliage, more hills and some new non-pine trees.

| The calm before the storms. The long view of tables one and two. |  |
Gaming table number three, the river of lava. |  |
| Here's a closer, top-down view of table one. New marshy/swampish terrain and foliage. |  |
Full view of table two. Woodsy hillands. |  |
| Antoher shot of the lavav table. I didn't get as many shots of this table in action as I would have liked - maybe next time. |  |
The combatants start setting up. Brian, John, Karl, Zach and Andy. I'm behind the lens of course. |  |
| Brian carefully measures his deployment zone - he needs all the room he can get. |  |
Meanwhile on the other table... Chaos vs Tyranids fight for table quarters. |
 |
| Genestealers quickly advance on the Chaos army. |  |
An Orky Mob gathers behind a hill, waiting to charge into the Imperial Guard lines. |  |
| Deployment - Orks VS Imperial Guard @ 1850 points. We're using Omega level rules so only infantry units are allowed to deploy. It get's mess quickly after reinforcements start arriving. |  |
Deployment from the Ork point of view. |  |
| Orks deployed against Tyranids. Guess what mistake I made right out of the gate. Yep - I'm tucked up against that front DZ line pretty tight. |  |
Ork deployment from the other side of the DZ. The bikes are the only thing that did anyting against the 'Nids, killing one of his Carnifex. |  |
| Genestealers lead by the Broodlord attack! Poor orks never had a chance. |  |
Tyranid back lines. He's using my gretchin proxied for hormagaunts. That's a lot of Hormagaunts. |  |
| What's that hiding behind that ruined building? A Carnifex? |  |
Ork cower in fear as they realize how bad it's gonna be. |  |
| Necrons annihilate IG in the infernal lava flows on Drakkonus VII. I guess the mperium couldn't take the heat. |  |
Bloodthirster vs Bloodthirster? Anythings possible in th 40K Universe. (or can be explained with fluff...) |  |
| Chaos (Nurgle) and Chaos (Iron Hands) vs Imperial Guard and Orks. This is after deployment, Omega Level Rules. There are 11 Obliterators deployed on the Chaos side. |  |
Even more green that orks? Guards and Orks with a grot screen line up. There's a lot of models there. |  |
| From the dark side. |  |
Chaos advances towards the objective (Take and Hold mission) after shooting up the grot screen. |  |
| Obliterators and Nurgle Lord looking for easy targets, and find them. |  |
The living shield moves up as the objective takers gather around the Big Mek for safety. |  |
| Stormboyz completely swamp nurgles henchmen. This was pretty cool. |  |
Chaos Space Marine line moves toward the objective with single mindedness. They look pretty confident in taking it. |  |
| The rest of the Chaos force rolls successfully enough to deploy the rest of the models... all Mutated, Possesed Predators and a Basilisk. IG will get there's onboard next turn. |  |
