Well this happened awhile ago but it was so entertaining I thought I would retell it and this seemed like the place.
A guy came into the store looking for a game, a bunch of us regulars were there and they knew him and I was looking for a game so I agreed to play a 1500 pointer. He asked what I was playing and I told him IG(because according to the rules thats all I have to say) and he said same thing. I decided to throw out my drop army as I dont play it very much and we proceded to throw out terrain, which he promptly got pissed about there being too much so I cut it back a little. Then we set things up. He set up a tank, I set out my heavy weapons platoon and when I put out my heavy bolter team he remarked I wouldnt need them and could replace them if I wanted. "Its my standard army list, I dont change it to fight particular opponents, thats cheesy and rude" He said something along the lines of your funeral. I finished setting up my missile launcher team on the far right of the 4x8 table and the lascannon team in the center and the HB team on the far left(I see where this is going). My Plt HQ is near the missile launcher team. He sets another tank. I place my air traffic controller sentinel in the woods near the middle and tell him to set up the rest of his army. He is like what? I tell him the rest deepstrikes. At this point he starts setting up tank after gaudily painted tank(one was shiney gold) and I hear snickers from the other side of the room from people who know what I am playing.
Turn 1(I tell these as I remember them, this did happen awhile ago) He got first turn, he moves most of his tanks forward. A demolisher on the left side towards the HB team. A sentinel team forward. Two or three LRs up the center. His command vanquisher stays put and fires a shot missing. His Laser destroyer on the right side all but vaporizes my missile launcher team. A couple shots to the center, I lose like maybe one guy. My turn comes around. My useless HB team destroys one and immobilizes another sentinel. Missile launcher team(one tube left) misses. Lascannons manage to stun a charging leman russ and my HQ shakes another with a lucky missile hit. Sentinel hides in bushes.
Turn 2: His stuff moves farther forward. The demolisher and one of the LRs are inches from my heavy weapon teams. A LR and the laser destroyer knock out the remaining missile launcher. Vanquisher and an escorting LR stay put and fire, both going off the table.
Me: Command HQ drops in, with its command squad of three melta guns and a melta gun support squad and flamer support squad. Also my anti-armor platoon with a plasmagun command squad and each squad with a melta gun come in. Lastly my vet squad with three melta guns drops in. All hell breaks loose.
My scatter rolls are phenominal, very few actually scatter and none lands to cause losses. Every squad lands either to the side or back of his forward tanks and the laser destroyer. I even have the flamer squad behind the LR which is about to run over the lascannon team. They manage to stun it. He lost three tank kills and several stuns and the laser destroyer lost its main gun. My HB team finishes off the sentinels in defiance of the demolisher in front of them.
Turn 3: He is in confusion and tanks start going every whichaway. I lose a few guys to his guns but not many. He tank shocks the heavy bolter team who simply move out of the way. I lose less than a half dozen guys to fire.
ME: My two stormtrooper teams come in along with 2nd platoon armed with alot of flamers. Each of those teams has two melta guns. I land one on either side of his command tank, unfortunately I lose a couple from both squads from landing too close. I put a command squad with 4 flamers behind the demolisher and the both the other squads go after his unmolested Bassie. Both command tanks are destroyed catatrophically, and ironically enough, tank a good portion of the stormtroopers with them. The Demo goes down to flamers in its engine compartment. The HB team sets back up. I think the bassie remains untouched by the two flamer armed squads. My far right squad ignores the damaged laser destroyer and go after a LR destroying it. Various things are destroyed in the center. There are only like3 functioning tanks left by this point with weapons of any kind. He turns a LR to face my Main HQ unit and misses hitting the storm troopers instead but only causes one casuatly. He tries to drive away with his bassie, his mistake.
ME: I kill the bassie with a lucky flamer. Another LR goes down to mass fire. The HB team rested and set back up aims at the back of his LR that turned to fire at the HQ and destroys it for the last shots of the game.
I lost in total about 25 guys this game, a huge number of them to tanks he next week I wasnt there but he came back and challenged one of my friends. My friend bet he couldnt win and wagered a BJ from the guys smoking hot gf. I heard by turn 2 he had two multimelta armed landspeeders behind the line of tanks and just crushed him. My friend never got the BJ and the dude disappeared for several years. No idea what was wagered if he actually won.
