Hobbypocalypse battle report: The Horsemen Fight

As sure as Famine follows War, this battle was going to happen...

Winters SEO battle report - Warhammer 40k - 9th Edition - Orks vs Deathwatch vs Tyranids vs Creations of Bile - 1500pts - Four Way - Hobbypocalypse

We fight!

This battle has been brewing since we started the Hobbypocalyse in January, and when restrictions finally lifted enough to get us all in the same room, we had 1500pts each for a four-way free for all battle!

Brapscallion brought his Tyranids, Sultan (who also has his own channel) took Deathwatch, I had Creations of Bile, and Monkey was handed a brand new Ork codex to make sense of on the morning of the battle!

The result was an epic eight hours of gaming that was some of the best fun I've had in the hobby. And the carnage was captured on film by none other than Winters SEO himself:
