Orks attack an Imperial column…

These photographs are from a recent Cities of Death (Cityfight) game.

The Imperial Guard had to get a column through the ruined city whilst the Orks waited (paitently) to ambush it.

In this shot, the Orks are trying to get charges placed on the armour of a Chimera in order to disable it.

Whilst an Imperial Leman Russ tank comes from behind to take them out!

This is an overhead shot of the game at this point, with many of the Imperial armoured vehicles on the table and most of the Orks have “appeared” from their hiding places.

We used hidden placement of the Ork units and the night fighting rules for shooting at hidden units.

Epic Imperial Guard Leman Russ

One of my favourite models…

The Epic40K Leman Russ is one of my favourite epic scale models, the level of detail and “realism” is superb. I actually prefer this version to the Forgeworld version which is relatively unique as with virtually every other model my preference is for the Forgeworld versions.

This picture was taken with a Canon EOS 300D on a “normal” setting, and as you can see the aperture was too open and thus you get the blurry effect. If I had closed the aperture to get a sharper depth of field then the shutter speed would probably have been around five or ten seconds which would mean use a tripod. My old Sony Cybershot (old it’s only three years old) can probably take a better photograph.

However the Canon is a six mega-pixel camera (compared to the Sony’s three) means better quality images especially for printing and cropping.
