My Imperial Guardsmen against the Space Marines.
This was my first time ever facing off against space marines.
The game began over a board covered in buildings and ruins.
Imperial Guardsmen ran across the board and took shelter among the many ruined building, the two Chimeras advanced with the Iron Fist and Veteran squads.
The heavy bolters on the chimeras chipped away at the massed force of space marines dropping 4 of them.
Never the less an missile was shot from the space marine lines and it resulted in the death of 2 snipers.
The Land Raider sped forward but a quick shot from an Imperial Guard lascannon team Immbilised the tank.
The Guardsmen now took defensive positions in the ruined building as the Senior Heroic Officer set up his base on the second floor balcony with his Commissar.
On the other side of the board the Junior Officer and his Commissar were finding thier way through a burnt out building, the Iron Fist squard gave cover fire to the squad as they advanced through the ruins.
Across the field a squad of Space Marine Scouts were holding out behind a crashed valkarie that had been there for months, the Chimera approached cautiously and then fired its heavy flamer instantly frying 3 of them.
They Panicked and then the Imperial Guardsmen holding out in the building got the orders to fire from the Officer and they unleashed the fury of 40 lasguns upon the last remaining members of the scout squad.
The Space Marine General was quickly moving across the field with his squad on jetpacks, they made it down the street destroying the Iron Fist squads Chimera, they bailed out with thier Commissar.
A squad of terminators moved towards the building containing the Senior Heroic Officer and the 40 men that had taken position there.
The bulk of the space marine squads unleashed thier bolters upon the defenders of the building dropping 17 men leaving 2 sergeants out of 2 squads and they ran back to the edge of the field as fast as they could. The rest held thier ground as the Chimera beside them took multiple blasts from the land raider that was immobilised directly in front of it, in the blink of an eye the Chimera exploded killing none of its passengers as the veterans bailed out of the burning wreckage.
Now the Imperial Guardsmen could strike back, across the battlefield the Junior officer, his squad and thier Commissar fired upon the Space Marine General causing 4 of his companions to drop out of the sky. The Iron Fist squad also fired upon him Causing 3 wounds, which hit the librarian killing him almost instantly and a grenade hit the head.
Meanwhile across the field the 38 men holding out in the building scrambled for cover as the terminators came into view.
They fired upon the terminators and dropped 2 of them.
The Junior officer and The Commissar Assaulted the Space Marine General along with the Iron Fist Squad and thier Commissar, the General managed to kill a fair amount of guardsmen before the masked Steel Legion Commissar of the Iron Fist unit struck the final blow to the General leaving him as nothing more than a bloody wrecked set of armor.
The Terminators kept advancing towards the men in the building, nearing the entrance to the shelled out building they fired and took out 6 guardsmen.
The Dreadnaught slogged forwards towards the building firing missiles as it went.
The Space marines kept peppering the guardsmen with bolter fire as they maintained thier position.
The Junior Officer and Iron Fist squad moved into a building, with the dreadnaughts back facing them they saw the oportunity of the battle and they launched a missile and a grenade at the dreadnaught, Immobilising it.
The terminators kept on advancing firing as they went dropping more guardsmen.
Then then the guardsmen gathered around the breach in the wall as they prepared for the terminators to come into range.
The Iron Fist unit leaped into the next building keeping away from fire. The Junior Officer was suddenly under fire as 3 men of his unit died due to bolter fire he panicked and the Commissar pulled out his laspistol and shot him in the face.
Then the Terminators krept slowly into range then fired, dropping even more guardsmen. Then with a mighty Hoorah the Imperial Guardsmen fired on them and with the combined fire of the veterans and the Officer they Killed the terminators.
The Space Marine grunts then dispersed into the building trying to destroy the guardsmen, but the Imperials remained strong and killed the squads one by one.
The Senior Heroic Officer was wounded twice but they got to the tallest building they could get to and waved the banner of the emporer over the clear sky as the last of the space marines were wiped out.
Victor: Imperial Guard.
