5000 point game

[El Capitan]

Some shots from last nights 5,000 points per side battle between the Ultramarines & Night Lord forces. The game ended in a 32 - 21 victory for the chaos troops, which contained approximately 50 Night Lords infantry, 20 plague marines, 7 bezerkers, 4 noise marines, 6 terminators, 4 bikes and 6 command personnel along with 2 land raiders, 2 dreads, 3 predators and a rhino. The first shot of the game destroyed a land raider and took out the Night Lords commander along with another scoring an impressive 6 VPs in one go! Of note Townley used just over 25% of his support allowance which allowed for a more infantry intense game (and not lead to the annihilation of the chaos at the first wallop)

Beauty! How long did it take to play? I've got 6000 points of marines, so I'm moderately interested. (Okay, I've got 6000 points of marines assembled and painted. If you count what's still in the boxes, I'm just over 7000)

Overall we started deploying at seven and where done by midnight!

Wow! Massive scale that one. 7 am to 12 pm?

[Adoni-Zedek]

Or did you manage to play 5,000 points in five hours? If you did, I'll be impressed. I played a 4500 point game, and it took 8 hours: 7 pm to 3 am. Man, that was a long game!

Also, is that a card-built Leman Russ under that pile of rubble? How hard was that to build?

Nope, it's the real thing courtesy of me.

I'd picked up a load of guard second hand for £20 I think and decided that I'd make some scenery out of it

[El Capitan]

yeah we got the 5k done in about 4 hours, easy with experienced players. I'll always hail mine and lukes 3,000 pointer that lasted just over an hour was seriously efficient and still fun gaming
