This is the last game I played, in the summer holidays unfortunately as I had to cancel the game I had planned last week. 30k, 6k of my Iron Warriors against a mix of Imperial Fists, Iron Hands and Mechanicum.

Suffice to say I haven't touched a model never mind played a game sense I started this thread. Hoping to get a game in when I head back home for Thanksgiving (as long as we don't make playoffs).
For all of you still rolling dice, please keep posting awesome pics of your games so that I may live through you.
How things can change in a month, Davout.
Not posting a picture, but here's a video of my most recent "game" - teaching a friend to play Blood Bowl on Twitch:

A friend's Blood Angels and my Mordians going out for a stroll when those Ynnari folks attacked!
Turned out to be a bad call for the eldar. This was turn 3 or so. A turn later, the BA player was down to about six marines and I had some of that row of Storm Troopers (not "Scions") in the fray. By 5th turn we managed to kill Whatshername and took the table.
EDIT: Stupid imgur doesn't let you upload pictures anonymously anymore. I swear I don't know what the internet is turning into.

@Illumini - it's a scratchbuild, cardboard, drinking straws, sprue bits and a pair of drinking straws, plus a wad of greenstuff on the turret (my green stuff fu is still somewhat lacking..)

I visited your blog. The conversions are good, but as you say, the greenstuff is rough. I think you should try to sand it once it is set to get a smooth finish.
FoW V.4 Mid-War, USA vs. Germany (100 pts.). I had an M3 Lee tank company supported by an armored infantry platoon against my buddy's Afrika Rifles supported by a stupid Tiger. My poor tactical play and bad dice contributed to my resounding loss. Again.

That's not a bad idea, may take you up on that. Also been trying out acrylic filler (decorators caulk) to help with touching up cardboard scratchbuilds, it smooths way easier than greensftuff

Assembled second knight a bit though now stop before magnets arrive. Then got a game of Sons of Horus vs Blood angels. Tournament coming up tomorrow so tried the onslaught with ambush deployment that's 2nd game of tomorrow. Horus led defence against ambushing blood angels. I was tad too aggressive at the start so we basically traded squads at first. Then I tried too ambitious move and split justicaerin and Horus to deal with 2 threats but maybe 4 cataphract terminators+praetorian was too much for Horus...Especially when you fail charge roll and then eat 7 S7 AP2 shots which promptly causes 3 wounds.
In the end it was up for whether blood angels could clear my tactical squad from objective on their deployment zone worth 5 VP for me. If I can keep them out draw, if not I lose. Alas bunch of tacticals without even a live sergeant was no match for 7 angry blood angels with additional CCW to boot.
And yeah we need to work on terrain Board is fully not done yet and only little scifi themed so wild west buildings etc whatever are used as well. I'll be hoping to do some terrain work next month now that sons of horus painting is on good stage.
Pic shows starting situation. Horus at dead center as due to being LOW he had to deploy first so was worried if I put him close to one side BA promplty puts everything except maybe rhino's on OTHER side thus rendering him struggling reach anywhere! Main combat was at bottom with predator, big tac squad and both terminator squads and 2 praetorian. My big tac squad, praetorian and Justicaerin basically took that side out but leaving most of Sons of Horus dead. From top 2 rhino mounted tac squads and support squad punched through my rearguard tac squad taking out vindicator and eventually forcing sicaran to flee and took control of objective they were after and then one tac squad went in and in last turn charged remnants of my big tactical squad on objective on bottom-right of picture.
Justicaerin were murder slaughtering tactical squad and terminator squad losing just 2 of their members before immobilized predator got 2 more dead leaving last one just trying to keep himself alive rather than try some brave solo charge against bazilion blood angels

End of first tournament game. Sons wiped out except for primarch that tried to chace retreating iron warriors. 8" charge failed which was boring but propably better
The return of floorhammer, wherein the Eldar cleanse some filth from one of their maiden worlds. Bottom of turn two, when the marines still maintained the hope of victory. But the Seers had a different fate plotted for them.
My opponent was bringing Tau, so I thought it would be fun to try out a Supreme Command detachment of Genestealer Cult, complete with 20 Genestealers. A lot of lessons learned, especially when it comes to trying to bog down flying tau infantry. 3d6 flamers suck to engage, but the Bullgryn finally nailed the suits to a wall.

Owww that's open terrain. Tau was probably loving it.

That was the crazy part. I though it'd be facing a traditional stand still gunline. I was really surprised when his stuff jumped to within 9 inches of my line and wiped out almost a quarter of my list. Those 3d6 flamers are a problem that was only mitigated when the bulgryn charged in with their slabsheilds. ShadowSun ate a pair of hellhounds, but the genestealers soaked up a lot of firepower.
