me and some buddies decided we wanted to play a quick lil game with whatever we had there at the time, which admittedly was not a lot. i was with a necron player (aka Kyle), and a Smurf player (aka Mac).
kyle had a full 200 points at his disposal, whereas mac and i only had 1000 combined. the FOC was not in play here, nor was the SM codex, and a heavy weaps squad was flawed.
it was mac and i versus kyle. we rolled for the turn and got all 6s. so we rerolled and kyle got it. i attempted to seize the initiative but failed.
turn1:
the turn started with the monolith firing its particle whip at my platoon, and thank the emperor it scattered 11" off the table. His warriors fired at the marines taking down 2, and his other squad missed everything.
mac ran everything forward and realized that his heavy weaps wouldnt fire (fail, mac.) he still shot at the warriors and failed to knock any over. (again, fail, mac.)
i moved my men into close order behind +4 cover, augmented to +3 by camelione (w00t.) they all fired at the warriors, knocking down 4. 8 remained. My leman russ fired at the monolith and hit, managing to not hurt it at all (T.T) and my heavy weapons squad also shot at the monolith and failed to hit. rawr.
turn2:
one necron got back up. They moved forward. The monolith fired its particle whip and...
massacred 16 of my men. of the 3 squads hit, one was reduced to 2 men, another to 5, and the last to 7. and guess who failed the morale check?
...
the one with 7 men left.
no joke, the 2 guys passed with snake-eyes. i was damn proud. anyway, the game ended there, as we had to pack up and relocate.
i felt i should share the couragiousness of those men. they are going in my fluff. haha.
yay.. .5 of a battle.
