Well today a friend and I got a nice game of 40K in. my 2500 point list versus his 2500 points of Dark Angels.
Mission Recon
Turn one
Dark Angel's go first.
After my Initial Deployment I thought I was actually going to be toast, but due to the Inability of his army to shoot the broad side of the barn in the first turn really worked in my favor. I was certainly expecting to to loose at least one of my Immolators, or my Leman Russ with each of his units having the Plasma gunners in each squad. Luckily I lost only one Ogryn and a couple guardsmen in the first turn of shooting.
My First turn ended with his Pred Annihilator having the Twin linked Lascannon's taken out, and several of his Marines being buried.
I moved my Ogryn up behind some terrain in a bid to take on his Assault squad with Chaplin, but fell short on the charge. The Hell hound started working on his Command Squad, but failed to do any real damage.
Turn Two.
Shooting he really didn't do much again, but was able to drop in his first Terminator squad next to my second Immolator, which he immobilized on a penetration forcing my Dominion Squad to disembark. During the assault his Assault Marines charged the Ogryn. His turn he took out one more of the big girls while I ended up taking two of his out. He lost combat, but ended up sticking around instead of fleeing.
During my turn I ended up laying enough fire into his termies to kill off two of the five, but those lightening claws were looking pretty nasty and I knew that something bad was going to happen. My command squad opened up with some plasma, but all this did was kill my medic off. With the Termies so close I knew that there wasn't much more my Command squad would be able to do and that next round they were toast. I popped his vindicator where it stood removing that threat as well. My squad of Sisters managed to take out his Librarian and the command squad as well.
In the assault phase my Ogryn finished off the Assault Squad and advanced on his next squad of marines that was making it's way across the field.
Turn 3
Ok with both my Immolators now out of action, My Leman Russ I knew would be following suit as my (Sentinel wasn't doing jack during the shooting phase. I know of one girl who needs to go back to the firing range for some serious shooting skills training.) While his lone biker had made an attempt to destroy it. His second squad of termies showed up and shot up most of my command squad.
His Termies of course assaulted the remains of my Command squad and taking them out with little problem and then moving to engage my Dominion squad.
My turn three wasn't too spectacular in ways of shooting or combat, except that my Ogryn engaged his marine Squad and killed two, loosing one forcing me to test on a lost combat. Luckily the girls didn't break. The three termies were whittled down to one as my Tech Priestess engaged.
During my movement phase I did reposition my second platoon to allow for rapid fire on all of them and only managed to take out one terminator.
Turn 4
He moved his second terminator squad and fired upon the first squad of my second platoon. The only saving grace here was that he took out enough of them to keep him from being able to assault the squad. Lucky me. His second Annihilator decided to tank shock my cannoness, who stood her ground with the Inferno pistol. bring it to a halt in it's tracks.
During the assault his lone termie took out two more of my Dominion squad.
On my turn I repositioned my second platoon again and brought to bear everything I could at the four terminators. Double tapping with three squads of girls, three grenade launchers, three Auto Cannons. The four made every save coming at them. Finally with a last ditch effort and checking range, my Heavy bolter squad across the field opened up with nine shots. Bring about an unbelievable six wounds (Nice shooting girls) of which he rolled four ones. One more lucky stroke for me. My anti tank squad (2 Lascannons, and Missile Launcher) Immobilized his Drednaught
Turn 5
His shooting phase removed my Hellhounds Inferno cannon
he took out my remaining dominion squad with his immobilized Dred.
My shooting phase destroyed his dred, and cleaned up most of his remaining Marines.
With 6 Marines on the table he conceded this highly enjoyable and intense game between the Dark Angels and the Amazonian LXIX.
Why would the girls fight against the Dark Angels? Let's just say they don't turn down a fight.
Victory to the girls in pink with two scoring units capable of entering his deployment zone.
