Earlier this month I took my Knights down to No Mans Land for a 6,000 game of Epic with @StegTheDinosaur, my gaming partner in crime, who used his Squats.
The battle was incredibly one-sided, as you can see from the live-tweet below. This was primarily due to the cheesy nature of my Adeptus Titanicus army, which included ten titans, combined with the relatively inflexible Squat army list which had been designed to deal with swarms of robots.
Here are the pics we took during the game:
Playing a 6k #NetEpic game vs @StegTheDinosaur at @NoMansLandGames tomorrow. AdMech vs Squats. Will be live tweeting hopefully!

Turn #2 is over. The Mechanicus braced for a popup/bike wave which didn’t materialise #NetEpic

@J_Plays_Games #NetEpic when confronted by 10 titans and you're only killing robots, even Squats concede.

In my defence they’d been build with as much minus save mod shooting and high CAF units as possible. Sadly a lack of up close and personal fighting and long range shooting removed a lot of that advantage. Oh, and a bloody Great Wall across the table 😉
Well, winning deployment initiative and making you slog across 8ft of open ground was also very helpful 🙂
