Sooo... this is my first battle report. The story is that th epolice got a tip off about some rebel scum hiding somewhere, and wet to hunt them out. Do I really need a massive storyline. So anyway, here was the setup(sorry for the terribel image quality, my phone is not a dedicated camera):
Image
The police decided they should storm the area, but, found out heavy armour is not for running fast. Who knew? The minigunner decided to blow up a bike and kill a rebel.
Image
KA-BEWM!
Image
Image
That red blob was a minifig head.
This is the reason for the past tense:
Image
The police shot thier shotguns with pikaxe bayonets into the rebels.
Image
More trees were killed than rebels.
And the riot policeman engages in MORTAL COMBAT with a ninja.
Image
The rebels shot a rocket at the polices feet.
Image
Turns out it was a dud, simply spilling gunpowder everywhere. Seriously guys, be more careful, some people have asthma you know!
The rebels then attacked the police, which largly failed, Except for the mobbing of the roit policman.
Image
Image
Turns out the sniper and the riot policeman were drinking buddies, so the sniper took revenge.
Image
A heavy with a flamethrower takes an energy pulse to the chest
Image
And the minigunner causes more chaos.
Image
4 kills, I think it was.
The survivor doesent take it well.(What was going through his mind: :brick: )
Image
HAAAAAA.....
Image
DOUKEN!
Thats one (1) Hadouken related death.
Image
Woman trips, guy robs her of a whacking pole.
Image
An especially lucky round for the police. One less mercenary to pay, and these rebels are really bad at aiming for the head!
Image
But a guy falls from about 5 rounds. Ouch.
Image
Not to worry, his teammate fashions a double pikaxe-bayonet out of the corpses one.
That ninja goes for the sniper,
Image
Not that it works.
Image
Double pikaxes are put to good use.
Image
And the fact the shotgun can stillbe fired after a melle atack is handy in killing supernatureal martial artists!
Image
Energy pulses for good pirates!
Image
And katanas for naughty pistol-toting armoured twins!
Image
the thief who would rob a girl rushes at the sniper.
Image
But isn't quick enough.
Image
Another brutal pikaxe-related death
Image
the captian finshes the last rebel off.
Image
Image
End of the battle.

So, Critiques? praise?(doubt im gonna get any)

Nice and Violent! I'd reccomend some more natural light and less flash, but other than that it's pretty good.

Not a bad first attempt; you know about the flash and image quality issues, so I won't hound them. Here are some other suggestions for additional go-arounds.

6). Take some initial battlefield shots of the layout and the opposing forces. This allows the viewer to know who is fighting whom and where they are relative to each other; in this battle, I had no clue who was a rebel and who was a police person. This will help following the battle.

7). Interspersing battlefield overviews with close-ups draws attention to specific details and gives a sense of how individual fights relate to the whole battle. You did this relatively decently.

8). More terrain (especially lego) is good terrain. If you are limited on what is available, I know that can be tough.

9). Keep em coming.
