Templars do what they do and blow up the enemy dread. Squad 2 and 3 targets Grey Knight Squad 1 but miss. Master of Sanctity kills another Termi and the Emperors Champion kills the Librarian.

 

Turn 6 is end of game. At the end my opponent had 2 victory points for first blood and 1 objective. I had 3 victory points for 2 objectives and killing the enemy warlord. It was a great game and a good intro to 6th edition.

 

Key points to remember:

Hull points suck. They cause everything to die faster than ever.

Termis kick butt. That 2+ save was a pain.

AAC is not good against Grey Knights. Abhor would have been better.

MoS needs a powerfist. Combat would have been done sooner.

All in all a great game and I can’t wait for more.

Keep in mind this is my first 6th edition game. It was a good learning experience and my force already has plans in the works to adapt.

AAC is not good against Grey Knights. Abhor would have been better.

 

I think we'll find that Abhor is going to be better against just about everyone these days. The +2 to charge is nice, but the psychic defense is just well worth the loss. Especially the free move.

 

And invest in Chaplains.
