Well I've gone to this one, and you know I'm the only one who remembers a camera.
So here you go.
Friday, Kings lot of redcar raiders are there.
Quickly ditch idea of normal game with al/bane for a giant mega battle of us all.
1500 points per player 3 players a side.
Me -Bloodhammer (shed load of missiles, shed load of fnp FC assualt marines with a 5+cover), Rich(?) old skool chaos (landraider with 210 point sorceror)3 rhino squads and Moo? Lots of orks in trukks (some nobs)and nothing else.
Vs
Si (reasonable guard..inc roughriders and plasma leman) Al/banes GT Bloodangels (landraider+ stormraven) and....king (3 vendettas swarms of punishers and pask etc).
King choose a table and a fluff story;
*That the river bed was difficult and dangerous but *their* flying transports would be uneffected (I spotted and pulled out the rule he was about to introduce that chimera chassis as amphibious vehicles were also immune to his punitive rules )
ANd battle did commence (chaos player sat back..when I left at 6.30 he'd only lost 2 obliterators and a vindicator)
Ork player was storming.
KIngs side (somehow) really got caught on the back foot...???..??
I had to leave, and those nice folks from up north let me take my final shots out of phase, and I shot down the vendetta and chimera contesting the middle..With my camo cloaks safely on ours (with FNP and 15 man of devs) the middle mostly orky (and 1000 points of chaos) and I think the orks had been pushed off the enemy objective.
But it was still V early into turn 6..so might have all changed after I left.
EDIT update.. apparently we won, holding centre with orks and chaos, rear by me, and front contested by our orks. Awesome.
Darned fine game..I have absolutely no idea how we did so well (although orky players 4+ saves first two turns were totally amazing).
