Once again we played at 6 feet under games. Huge place, cheap drinks, clean bathrooms, and the greatest wargaming tables ever. I am going to steal or get some Amish dude to make me one!
I did take pictures. A lot more than usual, but still a terrible job.

Lessons form the Day;
Storm Talons are well worth the points!
Nothing changes and I created a situation that did not exist. I feed my tactical detachment to Kal. Which which properly gang banged off the table. I got a BM and a KIA for my troubles. Also failed to focus fire and isolate detachments.
Left two units on Overwatch and forgot to use them.
I left my Blitz wide open to Teleport. Quickly giving away a detachment and the Blitz and.........my thud guns vaporized.
Kal's scouts were the MVP. They ate fire all day, broke unit after unit, sucking up activations like they were free.
Kal's luck went right on the window. The titan lost it shields and failed every save but one. The knights failed enough saves in turn 1 to stay broken all game.
I dumped my BTS onto Kal's BTS, which was sitting on the Blitz. Then I won initiative and gang banged poor Kal's BTS with termies and melt speeders. BTS & Blitz
Desert terrain is GamesCraft Minis or Battlefield Terrain Concepts.
