Hey there 40K fans!  Juice from The Long War is back with another exciting battle report.  This time Juice’s Daemons are duking it out old school with an ‘Ard Boyz format game against Talon’s Astra Militarum!

Juice and Talon

Today these two gorgeous armies are going to battle in the age old ‘Ard Boyz format! The Chaos Daemon side of Chaos was supplied courtesy of our friends across the pond at Top Miniatures.  Juice is running a sweet Daemon army they supplied running both the fearsome Brass Scorpion and a sweet custom Fateweaver!

Way back in the old days of 5th Edition 40K, Games workshop decided they wanted to have tournaments with bigger, grander armies.  Forces that were truly massive!  Thus was born the legend of the ‘Ard Boyz tournaments!  Any store could hold an event when the time came round, and the top 3 players from each store won an invitation to the regional qualifiers.  The top 3 players from each of those events was invited to the lucrative finals round where MASSIVE prizes were handed out.  It was an awesome event, and one that a lot of players would love to see return.  Here at The Long War, we’re giving you a taste of what once was!

Brass Scorpion

The Brass Scorpion is pretty fearsome!  Backed up by a Cult of Destruction formation there is a serious amount of firepower coming out of this army!

That’s a whole lot of Plague Drones!  Will Talon’s Imperial Guard be able to deal with all those bugs?

Guard Glamor

Holy crap that’s a TON of vehicles!  Talon is packing some heavy Artillery in his Emperor’s Wrath formation, along with a whole heap of guardsmen in that CAD detachment!  Pask and his trusty Punisher round out the army!

Setup

Once both sides are setup its time to see if those nasty plague daemons can survive the first round of shooting from all those Imperial guns!

Who will win?  Check out the Long War Battle report below to find out!
