Oh fuck yes. If only GW would fund movie projects of this kind of quality. The lack of voicework helps, I think - that's usually the first thing that makes fanworks come off as amateurish and cringy, but this just looks and feels fantastic and polished throughout.

Been a while since I posted any minis, so here's a Beastlord I converted and painted up over the past couple of days.

Once again your painting skills astound me.

Meanwhile in my Wrath & Glory campaign, my squad of three savlar chem-dogs (one ganger class, one guardsman and one stormtrooper) and one junior commissar have successfully knocked out: Four glitchlings (nurgling+), four eyestinger swarms, four Nurgle grubs, four gellarpox cultists (poxwalker+) and two hullbreakers, and happily walked away without a single person put down- although the commissar has picked up a nasty Slaught addiction.

I’m beginning to realise they’re turning themselves into the kind of glass cannons only hunans can just pull off.

I was just in an Apocalypse game. ‘‘Twas two tables of 3v3, where our table was fighting for the generators that let the titan on the other table fire.

My Ork Horde took down 2/3rds of the opponents Death Guardin the first turn. He was running plaguewalkers, and so put all his troops up front in the assumption that they would be meatshields. I killed 2 maxed units, 2 5-man Deathguard squads, and Typhus all on our first turn. We then took 3 boys and a nob as casualties.

My boss then proceeded to kill almost 1000 points worth of stuff

2 Necron Crypteks
1 Fully Kitted Daemon Prince of Nurgle
Celestine
Celestine Again (Damn Resurectin Umie’s)
A Fully Kitted Death Guard Helbrute
And Typhus.

The other table (which was where the “actual” game was happening) lost but by god, My Warboss went home happy

Oh, and I accidentally left him exposed after killing the Helbrute, so he took 4 Meltaguns to the face and survived like the ducking boss he was.

I mean lets be honest, orks wouldn't care in the slightest that the other table lost as long as they got a damn good fight.

Meanwhile Celestine has allied with chaos, and Necrons allied with chaos, to defend (attack?) some titan generators.  Titans are just that important.  Only to get rekt by an 'ard ork.

That was basically my reaction yeah. Also, im counting Celestine twice for points, because I killed her both times, and if you disagree 9/10 Boys agree that U is a Pansee Git, thus meaning its true.

Were the two tables equal sized or was the "actual" game larger?  Cause it doesn't seem fair that your table would have such a small impact if both tables had the same army values.

I find the lack of BFG A2 reports disturbing.

It's a game. Campaign is fun. Battles are fun. They promise another campaign and some new ships in future.

Sounds like a blast. I just ran my 1k freebootaz list against Death guard with similar results.
He even ran a few Daemon Princes to cheese his way through, to no avail against my 2+ to hit flash gitz.

AP -2 runs them up against the invuln, and then 2D messes with their feel no pain save.
It’s the equivalent of running autocannons against RobbyG

My only complaint would be the comparatively lacklustre melee. They’ve got the attacks, but nothing which would charge them usually cares without some kind of AP or D.

Very strong, bordering on overpowered. Boarding is one of the most meta strategies, Space Marines are also very powerful due to this. I'm not sure about the second question.
