Apocalypse Day

So we were going back in the car and dad said "There is an apocalypse on." and I said "we can go watch." and he said "no we can go play." and then next week we were there.

When we got there wasn't much on the table but when we got unpacked there were lots of difference. Dad was against us and we started. First it looked like we were going to win but they got 5 extra people and we only got one. First dad shot his baneblade and got rid of half my army. Then it got stunned and missed a go and I assaulted some space marines.

About 4 turns later another quarter of my army is gone but the baneblade was stunned 3 times. At last the match comes to an end and the space marines won but it was great.

Apocalypse!

I have requested the boys get their accounts of the battle but they are slow... so here are some pics to tide you over.

The GW shop at the Metrocentre Gateshead hosted an Apocalypse special last Saturday. We attended with Nick's friend Chester.

In the photos you can see Chester, Gabe and Nick. I should have stood back and took some pics of the whole table. Oh well.

I ended up in charge of the Baneblade and apart from the very satisfying destruction of a significant portion of Gabes 'nids, the 'blade spent most of the time 'stunned'. Hey ho. Missed the 'stealers as well.

Even so the look o
n Gabe's face when the dinner plate blast template came out was priceless!
