So I played my first game of 40K recently at Mythic Games in after taking well over a year off. It was Guard versus Orks. Eternal War Scenario: Big Guns Never Tire. Some pictures from our game:
Manticores deliver an interesting and indisputable form of Detante.
Boyz piling out of their wrecked trukk: a pretty common sight for these guys.
Outflanking mechanized infantry on the attack.
Tearing the turrets off of APC’s and throwing them with lethal effect at the disembarking infantry.

Nice photos! Did you take these during the game or did you go back and ‘re-stage’ them later?

Thank you. I took them with my phone during the game.
It was a fun game. My Guard opponent got the WLT that lets you outflank stuff, so he outflanked both his leeman russes, and a chimera. I had a “clever” strategy all worked out, which was pretty much invalidated by that state of affairs. So the warboss decided, as he always does when at a loss for what to do to tell all his boyz to just get stuck in as fast as they could and “last one there is … dinner!”
Unfortunately he had very bad luck with reserve rolls, and even had some problems with orders. By the time they got their C and C issues sorted out the orks were ripping the turrets off their tanks and using them as missile weapons. But I guess that is ok; it isn’t like the Guard really needs to worry to much if they lose a platoon or three … there’s always more where those came from! 🙂

Yes, I agree. I think my opponent did a good job on his army and they are fun to play against.
