-----------------------------------

We rolled Annihilation and Spearhead deployment, so i was down on KP's but got the best deployment.. Ohh and I won the roll off.. 2 - 1.. And he didn't steal.. Great succes..


*Sry for the blurry picture..

"I am the Emperor's Imperial guard.. And this we are his Hammer.."

I deployed 2 Lemans and my HWT's on the hill on the left flank, the vendettas got placed infront to sip out with their scout move. The PCS got placed out of the Chimera to make DS more dangerous.. The rest just got placed "where there was room" as we joked. Lastly the infantry squads placed as a screen to my left and to my right.

I Scout moved my vendettas to the left, and disembarked my Plasma CCS and Melta Vets as my first turn move (since my Vendettas normally suffer from the crash and burn syndrome..) The Melta vets got moved as far towards to the infantry squad as possible, and the infantry squad moved/ran up infront of the melta vets to give them a cover save.

My shooting resulted in a destoryed Las razorback, 5 of the 6 devastators, stun and immobilzed the Stormraven and stunned the Landspeeder.. And killed of i think 3 assault marines from various squads..



Picture is taken at the top of 1, he deployed behind the large building and moved his Pred and 2 razorbacks onto my left flank (Both razorbacks contain 5 man assault squads..

He then moved 1 Jumpsquad+req ontop of the building and the other was moved behind the smaller black building infront of my Vendettas.

* He forgot to move out his Deathcompany which was in the Stormraven, and errors are expensive..

His shooting was annoyingly effeciant.. He wrecked and destroyed both my Vendettas (Resulting explosion cost me 2 vets and 3 guardsmen) with 1 Bloodstrike and the lone devastator.. and shot up some infantry men on my right flank.
My second turn started.. I moved the Meltavets back some more and moved the inf. squad forward so they would be the ones who got assaulted by the ass. squad if i didn't get enough firepower onto them..
Moved up both my Plasma CCS and my PCS (Whom embarked in their chimera on turn 1, since he didn't deep strike anything btw.)

Orders went out to the HWT's, blowing off a Multimelta on the Stormraven and 1 MM on the speeder too, and orders went out to 1 CCS to make cover saves be re-rolled from their shooting.. Which resulted in removal of the assault/jump squad on the black building..
Lemans, plasma/ML vets and PBS fired at the second assault/jump squad, but failed to kill them all, leaving the priest, the reqlusiarch and 5 man.. A bit meeh.. My multilasers shot off the heavy bolter from one of the Razorbacks.

His moved his remaining assault squad down from the building into the trenches around it.. Landspeeder zipped over behind my Vendetta wreck annoyingly close to a very flammable CCS (But he moved 24" so couldn't shoot)

Shuffed around with his tanks on my right flank.. And remembered to move out his Deathcompany + Dread.

Devastator wiffed..
Boltpistols from assaultsquad fail to glance side armor on my Veteran chimera.. (Gotta give him a hand for trying)
Dakka pred mutilated my inf.squad on my right, they broke and then they ran..

No picture from end of 2.. But I thought it was looking pretty grim for Just and his BA, I was to be proven wrong..

My turn 3. Moved my top CCS back, out of flamer range from the speeder, but knew i had to take it down, otherwise he would just move over and toast me..
Inf. squad from the top moved down to add flamer to killy-time-united on the Assault squad in the trenches.
My second CCS's chimera pivot and unloads the CCS.

Orders go out to AC HWT to take out Speeder and to ML HWT to take out dread and to the disembarked CCS to re-roll cover saves on the assault marine squad in the trenches.

Results of shooting: Dread is wrecked by the missile launchers same with the speeder by the AC's.. Assault squad is shot down to just his HQ: the Reqluisarch, which would proceed to be somewhat of a pain in the.. yeah..

His turn. He moved around the tanks.. Tries to tank shock my Veteran chimera.. But the armor of the emperor stands fast.. (Mine.. Not his..)
He moves his Death company behind the black build to save them from Rage UR..

Assault squad jumps out of the tankshocking Rhino... And assaults and destorys my Veteran Chimera with kraks.. killing 4 std. guys + 1 wound on the HWT, but they don't get pinned.. Point blank missile launcher and plasma coming up..

And he assaults my CCS with his Reqlusiarch.. Losing 2 guys.. but giving him 1 wound back! bringing him down to 1 would total from shooting and CC.. And the CCS stays in CC..

His Death company assaults the remnants of my infantry squad infront of the black building.. Damn my bad placement.. More heros of the imperium..


Picture from top 3.

Turn 4. CCS and melta vets move up to kill the pesky death company so that Astorath dosn't have to clean up..

Both my plasma/Missile launcher vets Shoot the living gene seed out of the Chimera assaulting squad..

There is alot of inefficient shooting at his tanks on the lower part of the pictures, kicking off a TL lascannon from the razor back and stunning it..

My CCS in assault with his HQ dies.. :/

His turn. He kills of the de-meched veterans on the right with his dakka pred.. Takes out my PCS chimera with his lone Devastator /&%¤#¤%&!!, should have shot that guy 3 turns ago.. And assaults and breaks my remaining CCS with his HQ.

My turn. 5.. The turn of turns..

I decide it is time to clean up, to rake in the kill points standing around.. the 1 lone devastator, the Stormraven and the tankshocking now empty Razorback..

I shoot my HWT, my PBS, my multilasers and my veteran squad at the Razorback.. And i do nothing.. Not a single thing..

My PCS flame his HQ to death thou.. So stuff do happen..

He shoots his devastator at the PCS with a frag and kills 2.. But they don't break.. And he shoots his dakka pred at my melta vets.. Who break.. Fan'freaking'tastic..

Game goes on to turn 6.

I manage to kill off his Razorback.. Not the one i was shooting at before, because in my wisdom i let it live.. With my HWT and i pummel the weapons of the predator with my remaining 2 lemans..

Ahh.. And i flee some more with my veterans..

Having no weapons left on his tanks he chooses to assault my fleeing veteran squad, but he dosn't kill them.. He kills 2.. But so do I.. Now they are not fleeing any more, they count as locked in combat..

Game ends here.. See picture for the final stage:


We make the tally... I have killed 11 KP's he has killed 10.. Because he assaulted the Veteran squad and they stuck in, he has lost himself the game..

So IG wins..

Hope you enjoyed the read..

Cheers Kras..

Purple Blood Angels...? *Twitches and bursts a blood vessel in his brain*

Is that your terrain? If possible, could you please provide shots of the bone colored building on the center right of the table next to the pointing finger that appears to be made from Necromunda terrain panels, please? I have a bunch of them laying around which I recently discovered, and I'd like to turn them into something...

Oh yeah, congrats on the win!

Yep they are indeed purple... And no we don't know either..

But yes we are 7 guys who get together and play every thursday, and it is our terrain.. And sure I will get some close ups of the building..
