[Deleted]

Well, today was my first club game. I had my trusty Bloodscars with me and we took on a new face in a new place.

My force;
Command
JO
Bolt pistol
4 Vets

Grenadiers
Sergeant
Power Weapon
7 Stormies
Plasma Gun

Chimera Transport

Platoon
JO
Shotgun
Rocket Launcher

1 Squad
(no upgrades)

1 Squad
(no upgrades)

His force; (4th ed)
Commander
with Plasma Cannon (wtf)

Ven Dread

8 man Squad with Missile Launcher

9 man Squad with Flamer

We had a Seize Ground mission with 3 objective and Pitched Battle setup. One objective on my side, one on his side and one in the centre left.
Deployment started with me setting up most of my army on the left and a command squad with ML and one squad on the left. He set up in the middle with his commander at the front.

Turn 1;
I started and moved forward through the rough terrain and started to pick of his commander with my Chimera and caused a wound. The ML took off the dread's assault cannon and he didnt want to change if.
He stayed still except for a squad moving towards an objective and started firing into my men. Half a squad was killed by fire.

Turn 2;
I kept moving up and got my Stormies out. A missile was fired that didnt mage to do anything. And the Chimera managed to cause another wound on his commander.
He didnt move anything and shot at my vulnerable Stormies but kill only two with 1 full squad and a plasma cannon round. The dread fired two shots and killed one Stormie. Much more efficient than anything else.

Turn 3;
The half squad moved towards the squad hold an objective and the command squad moving towards the other. With every thing in firing spots they opened fire. The Storimes killed 3 marines and full squad took down another 1. The Chimera killed of the Commander. Pistols failed to do anything. The fired missile missed the dread. I assaulted with a command squad, losing one and killing THREE. The half squad also assaulted his squad by the objective losing three and killing 2. Amazing stuff from the Bloodscars. Everyone made their checks and...
He tried too shoot with the dread but didnt do any thing. The assaults continued. The command squad killed another 1 with no loses. The now 2 man squad still fighting for the objective were to face 6 to hit rolls. The Emperor must have been with them as 5 of the six were 1s!!!! The other rolled off the table so a reroll was in order but this also got a ONE!!!!!!!!!

Sadly that was all we had time for. I had 2/3 objectives easy and he was contesting against the other. So a 2-0 victory for the 102nd 'Bloodscars' of Cadia.

P.S. Can anyone tell me how that score thing people have in there sig is. I just dont get it.

[Rolling Thunder]

You just post the number of victories, draws and losses you've incurred in your siginature. There's no specialised ticker, as far as I'm aware.

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

your space marine friend was running an illegal list, a smurf squad must number 10 models before it gains access to both a missile launcher and a flamer, that 10 man squad can then be broken down into two 5 man squads with the flamer in one squad and the missile in the other, leaving his 7 left over marines to form another squad which cannot take any special or heavy weapons.

also, a SMurf commander cannot take a plasma cannon or even a plasmagun, only combi plasma or a plasma pistol.

ooh wait, I just noticed you said he was running a 4th edition list,
but still no way for him to take a plasma cannon with his HQ

I know. But it was just a fun game and I did tell him that if he ever wants to play me again he has to change that commander. Still over the whole game it only killed 2 men. His broken dreadnought was more effective.

@ RT
Thanks heaps. I thought it was something like that but you can never be sure!
