Planetsrike Apocalypse, LA Battle Bunker Battle Report

Posted by Loken at 7/28/2011 07:14:00 AM

The latest SoCal Apocalypse game saw an AMAZING Apocalypse game based around Planetstrike. It was absolute carnage and so much fun! A group of regulars showed up, and were joined by some new players. Much fun was had.

I brought the Crimson Templar Air Force, but no Super Heavy Tanks and only one "D" Weapon, on my Thunderhawk.

The Defenders set up the terrain. Attackers got nothing! The 4 Bastions were objectives and they got the Leviathan for free. It was an objective as well. It was treated like a Warlord Titan (8 structure points and 6 shields) and they got it for free (we knew it wouldn't last).

Turn 1 - The Attackers Drop Pod with 2 squads of Sternguard from Alec and 2 squads from David Ashworth. Plus 2 Caestus Assault Rams full of Termies and 2 Dreadnaughts with Lucius Pattern Drop Pods.

Hey! What happened? Well, after the last structure point was gone, I rolled a 6 for the catastrophic damage and so a 3D6" "D" explosion! Bye bye EVERYTHING.

Two more Bastions get destroyed!

Eldar Super Heavies get plastered!

The endgame develops. A close game that comes down to one objective!

This was really a lot of fun. It is also the LAST game I ever use a GW flying stand. I came home and the next day put the Dragonforge flying base adapters on all my Vendettas. Now, every flyer has Dragonforge bases.

6 Vendettas

3 Vultures

3 Lightnings

3 Thunderbolts

2 Arvus Lighters

1 Marauder Destroyer

As well as my Caestus Assault Rams. Those required a bit of shaving of the adapters, but worked great. I can't reccomend them strongly enough!

Next up, Cityfight Apocalypse!

The Inner Geek said...: I only see two Caestus Assault Rams, what about your rule of 3's?

Looks like a fun game. That Leviathan looks nice too. I'm glad it went out with a bang!; July 28, 2011 at 7:32 AM
Loken said...: The third Caestus is with Aaron Lovejoy for painting! Good catch. ;-); July 28, 2011 at 7:55 AM
The GunGrave said...: That looked AMAZING! Very jealous!

Liking the Leviatan as well - i can feel the cogs turning for a conversion of my own!

I've seen those DragonForge bases before, but was reluctant to buy one without a review. As you recomend them i'll probably invest in some soon!; July 28, 2011 at 11:13 AM

Who's Red Scorpions, they got a blog?; July 29, 2011 at 1:38 AM
Loken said...: The Red Scorpions belong to David Ashworth. I have asked him to send me detailed photos and a description of his army and I will blog about it as David doesn't have a blog.
