So my girlfriend has been intrigued by this whole "40k thing" that takes up so much of my time. She likes nerdy things and seeing the models I paint, but I thought the rules would be somewhat lost on her. Also, I could see the time it takes to play being a deterrent.
Boy was I wrong!
We played a 2v2 versus my kid brother (vanilla marines) and a good friend of mine (tau). GF was with me and we both used guard (so she could watch me and get the jist of how to play guard).
It was a great game, and she eliminated a 10 man pathfinder squad with her MoO in the very first shot. Direct hit, just evaporated them! Also, she used mortars and griffons to great effect. IG got the upper hand early and held it throughout the rest of the game, but it was close. Marines rolled up to our gunline in a Land Raider too late to effect the game's outcome, but they got some punches in to earn some vindication.
Everyone had a great time, and the lady friend wants to play again sometime.
