Necrons and Grey Knights






Necrons pushing up the left flank






Grey Knights advance towards Necrons






Grey Knights come to deal with Warriors






Necrons advancing into enemy territory






Necron units stretch up the left flank






Death Cult assassins attack Deathmarks



Here’s some photos from my game of 40k at the club last night. 2000pts of Necrons against Grey Knights using the Deathworld rules. We rolled the Breakthrough mission, so the goal was to get to the opponent’s deployment zone.


I achieved practically nothing in terms of killing enemy models (Imotekh immobilised the Storm Raven with lightning, and two Death Cult Assassins died to Deathworld effects) and lost plenty of robot dudes, but won it 6-2 by focussing on the objectives and getting plenty of units up to the other side of the table.

Decided it was about time to replace the old snow flock with the new snow texture paint. Really like this stuff, makes basing models dead easy. Got a layer of Mourn Mountain Snow done on my 30 Warriors, a quick drybrush of white should be enough to finish their bases off.


Still need to track down some rods for their gauss rifles. Once I’ve got some money coming in again I’m thinking of nabbing some blue ones off of eBay, and trying out the new blue glaze paint on their shoulders. Should all match my blue Deceiver that way.

High Elves deployed for war






Archers fire on the advancing Undead






Loads of Elves!






Terrorgheist perches on the tower






Undead advance






Blood Knight cavalry






Undead prepare to strike the Elf line






Elves hold the tower against Undead



While we were playing our 40k game a couple of the guys at the club had a 6000pt per side game of Warhammer Fantasy. High Elves took on Vampire Counts, and it was quite a sight to see! I didn’t get much chance to watch what was going on, but by the end the Vampire Counts had been effectively wiped out by the Elves. Messy stuff! From the sounds of things the High Elves pretty much shut down the Vampire magic phase.

Eldar and Space Marines face off






Necrons hang back to hold an objective






Eldar firepower holds off Space Marines






Scarabs damage a Dreadnought






Lychguard kill off Thunderwolf Cavalry






Imotekh lightning destroys a Fire Prism






Necrons emerge to take another objective






Monolith and Warriors guard objective






Eldar back into a corner






Lychguard flanking Space Marines



Objectives Deathworld game last night, my Ulthwe Eldar took on Space Wolves and Necrons. Three players makes for a fun game, kept everyone on their toes the whole time. I managed a turn 4 swoop on a bunch of objectives, and even though the game continued to turn 5 I held enough to get the win (2 objectives for Eldar, 1 for Space Wolves, 1 for Necrons and 1 contested).
