Not a Battle Report

I took some pictures of the game I played against Nick on Monday and wanted to share. So this is not a battle report, just pictures of a battle. Enjoy...

The setup.

This was a Command and control game, and I think I put too many units on his objective(upper right in the picture), and not enough on mine (not pictured, but to the lower left).


The most aesthetically pleasing close combat of the game. His tactical squad against the only fully painted unit in my army.

I'm proud of these screamers. They took a full tactical squad worth of rapid fire right in the "face" and only lost one member.


My favorite point in the game, when I smoked two dreadnaught on one turn (and by smoked I mean destroyed).

In the end, the game was a draw. A real blast of a game.

Here's a bonus shot:
For those of you that follow Nick's blog, you've seen the terrain he's recently finished. Still, I didn't appreciate the enormity of the rock spire until I saw it in person. I hope this picture shows that. In the foreground are Eric's new Crimson Fists.

Tune in tomorrow for a monumental update.

Terrain Monday, Again!

Oops, did I say every Monday. I meant every other. Anyway, he's more of Art's stuff...

For you Chicagoans out there, this piece is inspired by the asphalt factory at Pulaski and the Stevenson (I-55).

Yeah, it's basically two coffee cans, some tuna cans, and a couple of yogurt cups.

Terrain Monday!

Hello all and welcome to a new feature here at Citizen Nick Hobby Center:

Terrain Monday!

Every Monday I feature one piece of gaming scenery for your inspirational viewing pleasure. Most of these probably won't be mine as I don't have a large collection. I will be featuring finished pieces as well as works in progress (WIP).

First piece comes from the collection of Art Olsen. Art has one of the best terrain collections I've ever seen, so expect to see a lot from him in the coming months.

Today's piece is a ruined chapel:



As Art bought this second hand, so he is unsure of the manufacture. At first, I thought it was some form of Armorcast, but I'm not 100% sure. The buttresses are from GW's Basilica.

The chapel is attached to a base of fiberboard with some felt glued on the bottom. The felt keeps the piece from sliding around during games.

Above you can see some vile Tau desecrating the chapel during a recent game.


You've probably seen this picture before. I like it, so I'm posting it again.



That's all for this week, folks. If you want some of your gaming terrain/ scenery, whatever profiled, use the contact button on my profile to send me some pics.

Bonus post!

Since yesterday's post was so text-heavy, I figured I'd make it up to you and post some pictures today. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to share at the moment. My friend Art sent me these pictures yesterday, so I figured I'll share them with you all.

Here is a nice "aerial" shot of Art's cityfight board(or Cities of Death board if you wan to be new-school about it).


Art's Armored Company. I think the best part of this picture is the Imperial Eagle that is stenciled on the board.


more Cities of Death buildings and a couple of Vehicles from his Sisters of Battle Army.

Don't fear good citizens! I have been working on my Thousand Sons Army. In fact, I spray primed my unit of screamers last night. Thrilling, I know.

I will be posting pictures next week, I promise!
