DBGoLD, one of the more informal events of D-Company's register, is held every Labor Day weekend. This year I got to participate in Sunday and Monday events. I won't give battle reports in this telling of the events, just some photos of the action.
First, Seti's house for a 50PL engagement. Custom scenario, one where we had to cross the board to get individualized relics. I brought Imperial Guard, Seti had the fearsome Night Lords.
 |
| The "Beetles" Infantry Squad approach the Night Lords, who had cloaked themselves in darkness. A Ministorum Priest chants litanies of war in the back of the party. |
 |
| Ratling Snipers take up a position behind a broken fence line. |
 |
| The Night Lords approach. |
 |
Larry's Boyz take aim at a rhino. These rhinos were my bane in this game- I just couldn't wound them!
|
Day two.
After a late night of gaming and movie watching at Seti's place I moved on to breakfast with Nigel, and over to Downer Hardware.
 |
| Deployment upon the coconut encampment. |
 |
| Iron Warriors lined up in droves. |
 |
| I love these models. |
 |
| These Iron Warrior havocs on the rooftop were raining missiles down upon my troops all game long. |
 |
| The "Poor Bastards" run forward in a mad dash to capture the objective. |
 |
| Melkor steps out of his rhino chariot... |
 |
| Unfortunately for the Bastards, Melkor would not let this kind of behavior last very long. |
 |
| Matching shirts! |
 |
| Not a matching shirt, but a good shirt. |
 |
| Play in action. |
 |
| Grey Knights face off along the streamed against a Demon host. |
 |
| Jedly's Grey Knights. |
 |
| More imperial guard shenanigans. This was Game Two of Monday, me and Romba1 against EthMongul and Lord Boroth, 75PL each. |
 |
| Romba's Ultramarines look spectacular. |
 |
| Some of the Death Guard of Ethmongul. |
 |
| The defensive firing line of the Iron Warriors. |
 |
| Ethmongul's Poxwalkers. |
 |
| My Ratlings on the rooftop. |
 |
| Two thumbs up. |
 |
| Seriously, you do NOT want to charge this guy. |
 |
| Marines and Imperial Guard being all buddy-buddy. |
 |
| Romba's Ultramarine Primaris. |
 |
| Scions mixing it up with a Death Guard sorcerer. |
 |
| Hi. |
 |
| Well hello. |
 |
| Hey... why didn't he take any pictures of my models? |
So this was great. I lost my first game against Seti- it was close. I did really well in my next two games, thinking my Imperial Guard are starting to click. Punisher tanks are really mean. I don't think my opponents liked me tooling up the punisher with a tank HQ that would allow it to re-roll 1's on 40 Strength 5 shots.
Thanks Ethmongul for a great time, and to everyone in D-Company for making it well worth the drive from Madison.
