Adeptus Mechanicus Vs Death Guard II

Somehow forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus managed to meet a patrol of Plague Marines of the Death Guard on a heavily forested jungle planet and they fought it out in the hot and humid conditions for mastery of the battle grid.

The Ad Mech played for the objectives more effectively than the Plague Marines who, ill-advisedly, concentrated on killing as much as they could. The Ad Mech's strategy was the successful one in the end.

These are two of the weirdest factions in the game and provide an interesting array of different troop types, weapons and strategies. Moreover, they are great fun to paint.

A Very, Very Strange Welsh Affair....

"Wales is a country far, far away, of which we know little...."

Well. After this peculiar encounter, I think we can safely say that we know even less!

Apparently, two enigmatic Anglo-Norman-Welsh brothers (or were they even brothers?), clashed with their respective retinues. In a bizarre, and very strange, set of events, various descriptions of peculiar Welshmen waved spears and fired arrows at one another (or did they?). This encounter took place in a very odd and curious glade in the middle of some unusual Welsh forested hills (or did it?).

Either way, no one really knows or remembers what happened in this strange affray, other than possibly one of the Welsh (or was he English?) brothers was slain (or was he?). At that point, the rather odd assortment of strange Welshmen (or were they English?) gently faded back into the deep, dark undergrown of the Welsh forest, never to be seen again, only to remain shrouded in enigma, mystery and overall strangeness.

Anyway, if you are confused and perplexed, then welcome to Wales.
