5K apoc, Raven Guard V Crimson fists and Black Templars

[Meatman]

The Black Templars player (Kev) was writing up a big bit of fluff for his army, and needed someone for him and James (Crimson fists player) to pound on. I graciously accepted :lol:

Only just got around to posting it, because my memory sucks :P

 

 

Here are the pics I took

I kind of lose track when these following pics take place, but I think it's during turn 2.

Second attempt to kill

This could hurt:

Plasma either overheats or fails to wound. Only killed a lightning claw guy and one wound on the marshal.

 

That's a lot of Raven Guard on the objective...

Bye bye dread

We called it a game the second half of turn 4 with me as the winner. It really did look like it could go anyway during turn 2/3 . Good game and I very much enjoyed it :lol:
