Grimdark Future: Red Corsairs vs a Knight

Just some photos of our latest game- we pulled out all the stops to have a big battle, that lasted several hours. The main drawcard was the intimidating knight! I was torn between trying to bring it down or ignoring it, and pathetically chose a terrible mixture of the two. I did a lot of damage, but couldn't bring it to its armour-plated knees. There are optional rules for accumulating damage, which I may consider in the future- otherwise a warmachine with one wound left operates at full strength, but a platoon with one guy left is pretty useless.


Stompy robot! With hand-painted markings.

Hordes of cultists. The movement bases are a real time-saver.





The lascannons did a lot of damage.

My elite close combat squad flubbed their moment and got taken out.

The wolves ripped the cultists apart.

The spider chased the wolf up the side of the building.


The spider charged the knight but got squished underfoot.

My commanders scaled the building to attack the knight, but couldn't kill it.

This was our biggest battle yet, and it was a bit of a drain in the evening. But we played it to a satisfying conclusion, and got some big toys out.
