My first Apocalypse game

Being new to the hobby, there are certainly a lot of firsts. I wanted to share some pictures and a short video walkthrough of the battlefield of my first apocalypse game at the local friendly wargaming club.

We used four regular size gaming tables and a couple of the bigger terrain pices that don't get much use in normal games.

This first picture shows the deployment of the Tau and their human auxiliary troops that happen to sport two scout titans and my chaos space marines.

Here the orks have crash landed in a wide band between the skyshield landing pad and the fortress.

The loyal imperial forces and space marines on the other side of the battle are dug in among the ruins. Some marine forces will deepstrike via half a dozen drop-pods and seven blo(l)od angel land raiders.

With the special 60" formation move and enough luck to score a penetrating hit and an explosion, each of my drakes killed a vindicator before the first move.

Not too long after the game started we had a lunch break, which I used to do a quick video walkthough of the battlefield. I didn't think about switching off the radio, so I had to remove the audio rather than get into trouble over some faint noise in the background.



These pictures show the battlefield shortly before the game ended after turn two.

It was amazing to see this many minis in action! I've learned a lot and will be revising my setup for the next game.
