Got to play a game of 40k with my buddy Jeremy against his stunning Sons of Orar army. This army has been to a few events in the Pacific Northwest, including OFCC and
Astronomincon. The army is really sharp, and my craptastic pictures don't do it justice. Even more awesome is the fact that he has an Imperial Fist force, and an Angels of Redemption force that are painted as well, if not better.
Anyway we played 2k points. Annihilation with Dawn of War deployment. I brought my Tau to avoid some marine-on-marine action. I pulled a victory because it was one of those days you get, ever so rarely, where your railguns do what you think Str 10 AP 1 does, and just blew everything up. I was getting Pen "6's" for days. The final score was, after seven turns, Jeremy 9 Kill Points ('Cause Tau give them out like they are going out of style) and me 12 Kill Points. So there is that...
And this, which is a bunch of pics of his army. I am going to reschedule with him and shoot all of his armies in my little portable studio, so some day better pics will follow. Apologies in advance for the quality of these. The lighting was less than optimal and the shoot was somewhat impromptu.
Drop Pod and Ironclad Dread that flamed my fire warriors and ran them off the board his first turn.With my railguns being "on", I was able to rack up a good amount of kill points early with all the AV 11. Good thing too, as he took at least 2 KP's a turn in turns 6 and 7.Sternguard.
Jeremy ran Pedro and Honor Guard. While super nasty in assault, I got their truck open early and was able to plink them off with my plasma rifle/missile pod suits on a turn where I got 3 marker light hits.Jeremy's army's beauty is only surpassed by what a sporting and cool guy he is to play. I always have a good game with him, and this was no exception. Thanks Jeremy.
Thanks for reading,

I have had the privilege to play against Jeremy's army twice, and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. He is a gentleman and a scholar.
