Praetorian Picture Reel 3

Greetings all and welcome to the third installment of the Praetorian Picture Reel!

In my next post I will be back to showing new finished models and updates on my hobbying (which is finally starting to pick up a little speed again, not the least bit assisted by spending a fair bit of money on reinforcements! More on those to come in the future)

This edition will see some photo of my army engaging various foes before then moving on to photos of my Praetorian's and Commissar Dave's on combined operations.

A really rather awkward deployment for Dave and I in our doubles game with diagonals over and also awkwardly sized 8x4 table.

At least we didn't have to deploy the 50 or so additional guardsmen in chimeras...

The cavalry undaunted by the roar of the engines weave in between the tanks.

As the deployment zone comes under heavy fire the mechanised detachment races forwards.

Scouts sneak up from behind to attack the Bombard.

Thanks for looking! More to come on some new additions to the army in the next post.

Gaois Secondus Part 1 - Praetorian's on parade

Now that the photo crisis of December 2012 has been resolved I can get back to doing what (hopefully!) I do best, and post some photos of Praetorian Imperial Guardsmen!

To kick of the upcoming series of posts about the exploits of the Praetorians at the campaign weekend  here are a collection of what I can only imagine is the largest gathering of Praetorians for a very long time.

Commissar Dave joined me at the campaign weekend and on the evening of day one we put our forces together for a big army photo. Roughly 7000 points of Praetorian Imperial Guard. It was truly a sight to behold. The red and khaki complimented each other perfectly and it made a couple of staunch Praetorian players a little bit emotional to see so many of them!

One year ago when starting out with this blog I never thought I'd end up with an army like this, or be taking photos of it stood next to Dave's. Absolutely brilliant.

Check out the next post when there will be lots of action shots of both mine and Dave's Praetorians (including a doubles game with me and Dave combining forces!)
