From the Front Line - Conflict South West 2007

Conflict is a doubles tournament using two 500 point forces forming one 1000 point army. Three games played, against different opponents and using different terrain and missions.

After a draw in the first game, Matt and I were quite pleased with the result as I've played Grey Knights before and usually come off far worse. Man of the Match went to the Scout squad missile launcher for holding off a tactical squad of marines (plus Rhino) for three turns single handedly.

The next two games went mush worse for us, losing both games. Lucky Jim again earns a mention in the last game for not only ignoring the loss of the rest of his squad to the Demolisher fire, but for maintaining effective fire into the Imperial Guard line despite having the full-blooded marines around him break and fall back.

Also, the Chaplain and his assault squad earned their points in the second game finishing off two Eldar war Walkers and a two Imperial Guard squads whilst driving back the Eldar out of sheer fear.

Matt pulled back some semblance of victory by winning the "Best Painted Army" award. Well done!

Photos of Matt's work are below, along with the rest of "Battleforce Carrot". Honour badges and campaign markings (an inverted orange triangle) should soon be added to all troops fielded.
