Med Tour (part 3)


Before the Med Tour, I had never ever played Apocalypse 40k . The biggest army I ever played was 2000 points so far, and Super Heavy had never left the showcase for the battlefields...

Apocalypse battlefields are A.W.E.S.O.M.E !
When I found myself in an Apocalypse game with no less than 40,000 (forty thousand) (!) points on the table, I realized that I was in heaven. A precision by the way: anyone can set up an army to 4000 points. But when you want to take part in the Med Tour, it is WYSIWYG Full Paint required (NO exception). I therefore played on a table with huge sets, and fully painted armies, from the basic grunt to the hugest titan.

Paradise now!


First game, Orks vs. Rest of the world was a feast for the eyes. Result is irrelevant, because playing with so many points on the table gives you vertigo. The absence of "real" Imperial as Warhounds and Reavers motivated to me to paint one.

Defend the door against a horde of orks? check!
Come get some !

Next day, it delivers cover with a less violent portion with "only" 24000 points on the table. Necrons-Orks vs. Alliance. Eldar Imperium.

This gives a drop-pod that landed before a horde of Orks.
-They are 300!
-We are 10.
- But we are Space Marines!


In conclusion: I have less than a year to paint an Armorcast Warhound and a FellBlade.
