Turn 4

Turn 4

The right flank doesn't fare so well...

The Guardsmen fail, regroup and roll to 1s. No longer MVPs!

fantastic report, nice scenery and table setup, also great to see the lamenters out in force (and having their usual damnable luck in the process!)

As the owner of Subjugators who are more often than not mistaken for Salamanders (namely by "friends" who "know better"), thank you Dobbsy.

The luck was pretty comparable all game, up until the turn 4 assaults for the Marines. Guard failed a bunch turn 1, and marines turn 3.

That's the GW Space Marine Lander model. They pop up on ebay quite a bit still.

Or these?

Those are OOP stuff from the Dark Age of Technology

It does kind of look like a facehugger from the top, doesn't it?
