I wish I took more photos but it was hard between the games, tournaments, and classes
Enjoy!

Oh man, I would kill to play on some of those tables!

Ooooh I really like that "frozen river" table. Very cool idea.

Great set! There's even a couple pictures of my army getting savaged by a Skorne player in there.
I played on the Bunker table, and while it was extremely cool looking and lovely and all... actual play on it was frankly pretty bad. Uneven terrain, weird angles, jutting structures, etc all made for toppling models, funky charges, ridiculous placements, overarching distractions, and other hazards that just sucked you out of the game. Lovely pieces and I love to look at their pictures and see the dioramas, but I think I'll stick to the 2D plain green boards for actual competitive play next year.
Thanks for all the great pics. Looks like it was alot of fun. And like some others have said, the boards are pretty inspiring.
That train transporting two Konquests looks great on its own, but it's really out of scale for the picture as a whole. Makes the Gun Carriages look positively puny. I suppose it's due to those Konquests having to fit on the bed of a wagon, but a Konquest is supposed to be, well, colossal. They almost look like regular-size jacks in those pictures as well - why not emphasize their bulk by having them jut out left and right from that wagon? Pretty sure the loc in those first pictures is at least half as big again as the one in that later picture.
It was a ton of fun! I was happy just being able to play on 2 of their scenic boards period.
When you see them in person the Konquest is pretty big. Fluff wise they are the "new tech" colossus so they aren't supposed to be 100ft/30m tall or anything if that's what you mean.
Oh you just don't like the massive train throwing you off ;p
Here's a link to show you somewhat of the scale...

The Behemoth is still a baby next to a Conquest. I've seen it with my own eyes :O
A request: Does anyone have a picture of the Mountain King from behind? None of mine have him from that angle. For the life of me, I'm trying to find out exactly where the swinging whelp is supposed to be attached, and I can't find it. He look's like he's swinging back to front front, but the only places I find are for a left to right attachment points. So, if anyone has a picture of the back of the Mountain King's right arm from behind, I'd appreciate it.
Woldwrath's head looks like a Transformers TAS character. I hope he transforms into a siege cannon!

All of those tables look really nice, but most seem hard to actually play on.
Um, is it just me, or does Hyperion have Iosian arcnodes on its shoulders? 'Cuz they certainly look like arcnodes. If they are, that's an interesting twist.
The cycle we go through with every release:
1st stage - reveal - Wow! Look at the new toys.
2nd stage - spoilers - Booo! They're not as awesome as I imagined!
3rd stage - actual play - Okay, this thing's (usually) not awful.
