MWW9 - Horus Heresy, Malmö Wargamming Weekend 9, day 1

So I went to the Malmö Wargaming Weeekend 9 with my friend Håkan to play at the event... 
Kidding kidding... those pictures above are tournament 40k terrain...
I just took one step into the room and turned around... 
No thank you...




We played Horus heresy.
Here under is a collection of pictures from the first day of the event. I didnt take even close to the amount of pictures this event deserved, but here are some atleast...

It was thee games day one and two games day two.

This is so much better... Just look at that handsome dude, Philip in my first game...

My Solar Auxilia would be facing his Iron Warriors. With both of us new to this new edition Im more then sure we made tons of wrongs with the rules but hopefully we made about equal amount of wrongs so it would balance it out...

Awesome game of Horus Heresy with a awesome dude. Philip even won a much deserved price for being,  the nice dude he is. 

My Solar Auxilia vs  Dean Waltons Mechanicum lead by the dreaded Anacharis Scoria.
Cool army, big robots, some tanks (or rather guns with threads) and multiple units of "smaller" Thallaxes, robots still much larger then any of my soldiers...

I traded the cheep lives of my troops to capture objectives and trying to preserve the life of my High Command, he is far to rich for dying...
The plan worked somewhat... My men and my tanks got totally wrecked by the unstoppable big robots, but I managed to capture some objectives. In the end my High Commander was minced by the robotic onslaught... 
Hopefully the best healthcare money can buy will let him take to the field in the next game...

Awesome and scary model...

The traitors are in the lead. 

Another awesome dude, Felix actually knew the rules and I learned a lot. 
Death Guards with deamons would be facing my Solar Auxilia.

I had really really fun this game even though my army got slaughtered. Atleast I could get some bites back with the Malcador Infernus as a special mention making a hail glory taking out a lot of lascannons just yearning to get burned...

My plan for the game was to tie down my opponent in the middle and have units plunking away wounds at range until I could move in my remaining units onto objectives.
It didnt work...

Samus...

Samus again...
Just for fun we had a challenge... so yeah it didnt go to well for my Legate Marshall...

Samus had abandoned his bodyguard daemons... He really didnt need them against me and they mostly just slowed him down...

Awesome first day of games.
