Battle Report Space Marines versus Rebel Imperial Guard
This small(ish) battle comprises 2500pts of Space Marines (with some Imperial Guard) versus 1000pts of Imperial Guard in an entrenched position. We were using some of the Forgeworld resin pieces. The pictures were taken using my old HP Photosmart camera, so are not the best in the world (sorry).
