So this isn't WHFB-related, but I've been busily making terrain in my garage for the last few days (along with polishing off my Legion army), and so Spencer and I decided to have a few games last night to showcase everything. Our barricades/obstacles are still unpainted (you can see some undercoated black in some of the photos), but we had enough terrain to play a decent-looking game on. We also kind of didn't plan ahead, so we were using ghetto tokens for our spells and other effects - this has been taken care of now due to the office photocopier, and we now have nice-looking tokens to use. So without further ado:


The cast:Magnus the Traitor and his battlegroup

Four-Star Syndicate, in it for the money
(I only used played these guys in one game, an oddly bloodless affair. Sadly Reinholdt the goblin mascot didn't accomplish anything)


Typhon

A teraph

Nephilim soldier

Nephilim protector

Carnivean



Zergling rush!

Thagrosh the Messiah




The action:

Magnus' troops looking uncharacteristically disciplined

The Idrian lieutenant gives a rousing speech, not realising that one of his scouts is facing the wrong way

Kell takes up a sniper position at the edge of the forest


A renegade wanders forward to fire off its obliterator rocket.

Magnus and his troops surge forward

Meanwhile the Legion pushes its way through the forest

A nephilim climbs a nearby hill to survey the battlefield

A carnivean crashes through the undergrowth

Battle is joined! A nephilim and a forsaken plow into the mercenary lines.

Typhon takes up a position behind some razorwire to unleash its blight breath on an enemy warjack.

A teraph advances upfield

A mangler holds the line against the advancing Legion beasts.

Magnus runs a renegade behind the carnivean to harry it with arcane bolts...

...but sadly leaves himself face to face with Thagrosh.

One swing later and it's all over for the Traitor.
