here's the setup:

on to the fight!

















about this point I got serious and forgot about taking pictures but I can assure you that that grenadier offensive was stopped in its tracks and dismantled COMPLETELY. in the end it was pretty even - a draw. we were trading some pretty sound blows and taking some heavy hits from round 1 forward.

here's a memorable moment of my conscripts after they counterassaulted his grenadiers and tore them apart only to be sacked by my opponents ogryns:



anyhow, sorry for forgetting to take more pics in the mid to late game!!! will try to remember to stop and take pics instead of getting carried away pouring dakka around the table next time

sweet report, i love looking at pictures to really see what happened. i noticed the griffon in there, how du find it does in games usually, cus i always liked it but never got one?

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

vs. guard, tau, eldar, nids, orks etc it's great! ap4 is all you need vs. 3+ infantry it's pretty much ignored, though people kill it if they can simply for completeness' sake

I like having it mainly because it represents my army being a line unit and not having larger artillery support. due to fluff evolution (and finally getting around to making some heavy support vehicles) my army will be swapping the griffon out for a basilisk in the near future.

gud old basilisks. the krieg heavy mortars are almost as cool (infact they probs are cooler, just not as effective)

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

the griffon has a heavy mortar too if I remember correctly

[Deleted]

dus it have the exact same rules du know?

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

I'm not sure, I don't have the forgeworld rules.

Am about 15 minutes from my friend arriving for a major battle today - will take pics of THE WHOLE THING not just a few rounds expect a new batrep before the day is over!
