2 жыл бұрын

The Necrons have awakened for the first time in a Championship series. It is the return of Watson, the Doomsday Ark that seeks redemption. Michael Buckthorp hopes to pilot his Necrons to victory but must overcome the force of nature that is the Year of Steve. Space Marine Steve returns for his third Championship series and of course it is with Space Marines. This year will it be the Astral Claws that win it all for him.
This game and the beautiful mat is from Frontline Gaming.
store.frontlinegaming.org/?re...
Note, this game was produced before the core update to Necrons that happened recently (November 2021).
To end the 2021 40k in 40m Season 3 series we are putting on a Warhammer 40k Championship. In this new format the winner is determined by the total victory points they score through all their games so every game counts!
All 40k in 40m games are released on Patreon one-week ahead of KZfaq release.

Honestly, with Steve’s rolls like that, his marines should’ve been painted up as Lamenters. At least then the suffering would’ve been thematic.

@Qardo 2 жыл бұрын

Lamenters: We suffer because the Emperor demands it. Also, Lamenters: And you suffer because you have to hand paint all those checker board patterns on our equipment and cry the whole time you mess up. Lament. Lament!

Steve is a champ for staying chill in the face of all that. If someone were to animate this match though it would be incredible. Screaming marines tripping over themselves, an atv getting shot to dust as it heroically shows up, hellblasters melting themselves, a single arc immortal electrocuting 5 units simultaneously, a squad forgetting to take their transhuman phys. Pills ... this match is a ride..
