thepowerofwar Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ok so this is my first attempt at a battle report so here it goes to the best of my memory. It was 1500pst Blood Angels VS Chaos Marines with Daemon Allies. Blood Angels Warlord Librarian LV2, Infurnus Pistol Sternguard 10 x man, Combi Melta , 2 Heavy Flamers, Pod Furioso Dred Frag Cannon, Heavy Flamer, Magna Grapple, Pod Furioso Dred Frag Cannon, Heavy Flamer, Magna Grapple, Pod ASM 5 x man, 2 x Infurnus Pistols, Melta gun, Pod ASM 5 x man, 2 x Infurnus Pistols, Melta gun, Pod ASM 5 x man, 2 x Infurnus Pistols, Melta gun, Pod Storm Raven Hurricane Bolter , TL Las Cannon, TL Multi Melta Chaos Marines Warlord Chaos Lord Lighting Claws, Power Fist, Bike, Mark of Slanesh Chaos Bikers 7 x man, Power Sword, Mark of Slanesh, Icon of Slanesh Noise Marines 10 x man, 2 Blast Masters Noise Marines 5 x man, Blast Master Hell Drake Bale Flamer Obliterators 2 x man, Mark of Nurgle Daemons Herald of Nurgle (had the AP 2 Poison weapon) Plague Bearers 10 x man Plague Bearers 10 x man Soul Grinder Mission : Cleanse and Control Set up : Vanguard Strike No Night Fighting Set up http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/DeploymentBAvsCM_zps5bb14d36.png I used Nul Deployment for the Blood Angels. Chaos reserved all the Daemons except the Soul Grinder and his Hell Drake. Then he proceeded to try and bunker up in the corner. We rolled off to see who went first and I won with my BA. Chaos decided not to steal the initiative. Top Turn 1 BA1-CM0 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/tt1BAvsCM_zps9c09f506.png 3 Blood Angels Drop Pods come in surrounding the Chaos forces. The Stermguard combat squad out of the north pod with a heavy flamer in each squad. The first ASM squad comes out the pod behind the Soul Grinder and the Furioso head out his pod towards the bikers. Both Sternguard squads try to fire their combi meltas at the Soul Grinder but unfortunately forgot the batteries for them up on the ship, but one of the Heavy flamers managed to burn up 2 of the noise marines from the 10 man squad. The ASM squad's Sargent Shakes his head as he shows them how a melta weapon is supost to be used, by causing an explosions so huge it hits all models but 2 bikers and the furioso are hit and Scoring First Blood. Unfortunately when the dust settled the Sargent was gone as were 2 of the Sternguard. The Chaos forces laugh at the death of the marines by the explosion. The furioso let the anger of his own brethren's fall loose on the bikers and Oblits. 3 of the bikers fall and an oblit takes a wound. Bottom Turn 1 BA1-CM0 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bt1BAvsCM_zps1d6dc06d.png The Chaos forces seemed to still be laughing at the fact that the Blood Angels had killed some of their own but were determined not to be out done in the killing. So the Noise Marines let loose the Blast Masters and wipe out all the Sternguard and knock off a hull point off a pod. The Oblits were argery about the wound they took, so they nuked the furioso. The Bikers assault the ASM and their pod and crush everything but a lone marine. Top Turn 2 BA4-CM0 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/tt2BAvsCM_zpsbd093a84.png All the Remaining Blood Angel reserves come in. The Raven fly's in lining up on the larger Noise Marine squad. The second Furioso drops in on the smaller squad. ASM squad 2 lands near the Oblits. Then the Librarian and his squad Knowing that their true objective lies else where, so they land near objective 2 having found a communications relay they begin to down load information and score 2 VP. After that the raven and Furioso light up the 2 squads of Noise Marines killing 3 from each squad and on of them was a known Champion of Chaos Wanted for many crimes and that scored 1 VP. ASM squad 2 Thinking that they could do the same with firing 3 melta weapons a krak grenade and 2 bolt pistol shot and the only thing that hurt the monstrous was 1 of the bolt pistol shots. The last of the ASM squad 1 falls to the might of the Chaos Lord. Bottom Turn 2 BA4-CM0 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bt2BAvsCM_zps6b42cb5a.png The Chaos Lord attempts to call for assistance from his daemonic allies but non answer the call. Since the call was unanswered more blood must be needed. The larger squad of Noise Marine fire at the Furioso but miss killing one of their fellow Noise Marines that were in the way. The remaining members of the smaller Noise Marine squad fire their bolters at ASM squad 2 killing the Sargent. Then the Oblits seeing if they can nuke a second Furioso but only managed to shake him with their multi melta fire. The Chaos Lord and his Biker Bubbies wanting more blood for the summoning assult ASM squad 2 killing 2 of them. Top Turn 3 BA5-CM0 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/tt3BAvsCM_zps751891e8.png The Librarian and His ASM squad almost done with their down load prepare to move out next relay and score 1 more VP. ASM Squad 2 calls for help from the furioso and he answers the call by charging in and trying to crush the Chaos Lord, But 2 of his bikers jump in the way and are trampled instead. In the commotion the Chaos Lord glances the Furioso. The Raven Fly's off to swing around for another run. Bottom Turn 3 BA6-CM1 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bt3BAvsCM_zps01ecf386.png The Call is heard by the Daemonic forces but one of the warp portals end up in the middle of the foundation of the center building and making them not come in this turn The other one with the herald land in the forest next to a relay to smash. Scoring them 1 VP but portaling into a forest has its risks and the herald partially materialized in a tree and 3 plague bearers. The remaining Noise Marines concentrate their fire stipping 2 hull points from a pod. The Chaos Lord meet his match for the Furioso finally got a hold of him and crushed the life from him scoring 1 VP for warlord but in turn the bikers cut down 1 of the ASM and the Oblits join the fight but just stand there looking at the machine that ended their leader. Top Turn 4 BA7-CM1 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/tt4BAvsCM_zpsaee2d8cc.png The Raven flies in lining up for a run on the larger unit of Noise Marines. The Librarian and his ASM squad head to objective 3 to down load at the relay and score 1 VP. The Raven then hits the Noise Marines Killing 4 of them with a little help from the drop pods. Then the Furioso continues by taking out 1 of the bikers but they run taking out the last man of ASM squad 2 with them. Bottom Turn 4 BA7-CM5 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bt4BAvsCM_zps95959a10.png For felling their lord the chaos gods send in their darkest creation the Hell Drake. As it swoops across the field it hits a drop pod causing it to explode for a VP. The explosion takes out the near by Noise Marine. Then the beast fires its Bale Flamer at the Librarian and his squad burning them to ash with the soul burn and scoring 1 VP while the heat causes a hull point to its self. The Oblits try to hold off the Furioso's rage but are crushed. Then the Furioso heads to his next target to feed his rage. The second squad of nurgle's plague bearers warp in and destroy the relay on objective 1 scoring 1 VP. Top Turn 5 BA8-CM5 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/tt5BAvsCM_zpsdb20ebfd.png The Raven drops to hover so it can start down load at the relay on objective 4 scoring 1VP. The Furioso moves up on the last leaders of this Chaos band and show him why Furiosos are to be feared by melting everylast daemon in that forest in a fury of frag cannon blasts. The drop pod support systems kick in and take down the last noise marine. the Raven mid down load notices the rear of the drake and fires its las cannon at it but some how only shakes the beast. Bottom Turn 5 BA8-CM7 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bt5BAvsCM_zps7d4352d2.png The Drake continues its rampage taking out a drop pod and the Chaos god smile at the Drakes destruction of the Blood Angels warlord granting 2 VP. The bikers move up to grenade a drop pod but forget to pull the pins first. Top Turn 6 BA9-CM7 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/tt6BAvsCM_zps744339b9.png The Raven Continues to down load scoring 1 VP. Then threw the combine fire power of the pods and Raven they takedown the bikers. The Furioso runs at full speed towards the last of the daemons. Bottom Turn 6 BA10-CM8 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bt6BAvsCM_zps960e9db6.png The Hell Drake swoops into a hover and smashes a relay of objective 2 scoring 1 VP, but its flamer ran out of gas as it trys to fire it at the furioso. The battle ends with the Blood Angels with Line Breaker and the victory. After thoughts I did forget 2 things; Dreads get Hammer of Wrath and deep Striking vehicles count as moving at combat speed not cruising speed, so my pods could have been adding more pressure on the chaos forces.

Rogue Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Nice work. It's a personal thing, but I'd like to get more of the geography of the battle - what's where, how the units are interacting with the terrain, that sort of thing. It helps to build up a mental image of the battle. Yours gives a really good feel for the close quarters combat and general chaos of the melee, but in my head, it just a lot of marines running around and hitting stuff. Still, as I say, it's a personal thing. I did like the little details you threw in, and it'll be interesting to see the maps when you work them up.

Rogue Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Turns out it was pretty much a bunch of marines running round hitting things! That bottom corner looks like it was a real meat-grinder. Nice battle report, thanks.

thepowerofwar Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 2k battle Blood Angels VS Tyranids Maelstrom Mission : Lost Communication Blood Angels HQ Librarian - LV1, Warlord, Telepathy Troop 2 - 5 man Assault squads - 2 infurnus pistols, 1 melta gun, Drop Pod Elite 2 - Furioso Dreadnought - Frag cannon, Heavy Flamer, Magna Grapple, Drop Pod Stern Guard - 10 man - 8 Combi Meltas, 2 Heavy Flamers, Drop Pod Heavy Storm Raven - Hurricane Bolters, TL Lascannon, Multi Melta Allies - Ultra Marines HQ Librarian - LV 1, Telepathy Troop Tactical Squad - 5 man - Drop Pod Elite Stern Guard - 10 man - 8 Combi Grav, 2 Heavy Flamers, Drop Pod Fast Storm Talon - TL Lascannon Tyranids (to the best on my memory) HQ 2 - Tyrants - 2 TL Devourers with Brain Leach Worms, Wings( one was Warlord) Troop 2 - Warriors - 4 man - 1 Barbed strangler, 3 Devourers Termigaunts - 30 man Elite 2- Venomthorpe Zonethorpe - 3 man Heavy Carifex - 3 man - 6 TL Devourers Mawlock Trygon Prime Deployment - Dawn of War http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bavsnid2k/setup_zps9b11639d.png I won the roll off . Then my Blood Angels did what they do best and start in reserve with a null deployment setup. The Nids covered most of their deployment zone evenly spreading out his force but with gaunts woven threw the force. He chose not to try and steal the initiative giving me first turn. Top Turn 1 BA2-Nid0 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bavsnid2k/tt1_zps534365d2.png 4 Drop Pods come in with both Stern Guard units and both Furiosos. The Furiosos come out of their Drop Pods and let lose death on the Venomthropes killing them both and shredding a few Gaunts. That scored First Blood. With the Nid shielding down the Stern Guard move in for the kill of the tyrants. The SM Stern Guard Combat squad and set up with the Heavy Flamers from the Combat squad poring Flames threw the Gaunts and Zonethopes to hit the Tyrant and then followed by a volley of Grav to finish it off scoring Warlord. But the Zonethropes prove to be harder to pop with only one being slightly scorched. The Blood Angels Stern Guard Combat squad and Heavy Flamer the other Tyrant with his bubble wrap of Gaunts clearing the way for their Meltas to to turn the beast to ash. Bottom Turn 1 BA2-Nid0 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bavsnid2k/bt1_zps96c08646.png The Nid counter assult was fierce. The Trygon Prime and both squads of Warriors destroy the Blood Angels Stern Guard wth the Last ones being eaten by the Trygon Prime in close combat. The Canifex squad Hammer of Wraths my Furioso that was near the Blood Angels Stern Guard to shrapnel. Then on the Other side the Gaunts and Tyranofex Shoot the heck out of the SM Stern Guard kill 3 from one and 4 from the other. Adding insult to injury both of them panicked and ran. Things were looking bleak for my last Furioso as the Zonethorpes used their warp blasts to nuke him from the board, but then only one penned his armour and he periled!!! The resulting hit only taking his Blood Claw from him and they could no longer use Warp Blast. Top Turn 2 BA2-Nid0 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bavsnid2k/tt2_zps8623c801.png Everyone but the Warlord and his Assault Squad come in from reserves. Needing to get some new Objectives so I landed my other Assault Squad's Drop Pod on Objective 6 on the far left side of the board. The Assault Squad then ran towards the middleish objective 1, But due to a bad run roll the were not able to get to cover and were left in the open. Trying for a repeat with the SM Tactical Squad and their pod but the wind on the battle field caught them and scattered away from Objective 2 which is in the bottom corner( I blame the Scatter on the fact that the SM and not as skilled at deep striking as the Blood Angels ). So the SM Tactical Squad and their Librarian moved to the Objective while they were trying to shoot at the Warriors taking one of them down with bolter fire but the Librarian Shriek failed to do anything due to an almost epic Leadership roll on 3d6(1,1,2). The air support comes in towards the middle of the field with the Storm Raven firing everything at the Trygon Prime and the ecorting Storm Talon firing into the Carifexes. The Trygon was quickly turned to mulch but the Carnifexes only taking 2 wounds. The SM Stern Guard auto rally after their tactical retreat (Cowardly SM!!!) and move in to double tap range for their Hell Fire rounds and manage to take down a wounded Zonethorpe. Then the Furioso being damaged and not being able to hurt the Tyranofex moves to wards the 2nd Warriors squad and putting a Drop Pod between him and the Tyranofex. Bottom Turn 2 BA2-Nid1 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bavsnid2k/bt2_zpsa698c817.png Much rejoicing for the Tyranids as his Mawlock arrived and ate my Assault Squad when it arrived. The first warrior Squad throws everything it can at the SM Tactical Squad but only cause one to fall. The Carifexes look hungrily at the Storm raven but only manage to cause a single glance after some swift jinking . The Gaunts fire at the 2 man squad of SM stern Guard and manage to only kill one of them with the bucket of dice he rolled( Judging on how cowardly they acted earlier i think the survivor hid behind his buddy til the shooting was over). Then the Tyranofex with some torrent flamer action of aiming at the pod and hitting the lone SM Stern guard squad that didnt get shot at yet and takes him out. Then the beast assaults the pod for a Nid VP. Top Turn 3 BA2-Nid1 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bavsnid2k/tt3_zpsf0be92d2.png Still unable to draw any objective cards that i could score effectively so i press my assault. Still my warlord waits for the right time to enter the fray(or he was still on his facebook ). But the rest of the force was to get ready for his arrival. the Flyers bear down on the Tyranofex but only manage to cause a wound apiece(the only 6 i roll for the Raven was on the Machine spirit shot that didn't need 6s to hit ). The Furioso hits the second Warrior squad killing 1 with the frag cannon and the magna grapple actually hit and killed one out right! Hoping to keep him from being glaced to death he assaults them and gets locked into combat due to not having his Blood Claw anymore no wounds were caused. THe lone survivor of the SM Stern Guard to prove he was not a coward trows a frag grenade at the Zonethorpe wounding them both and a Gaunt! But the Gaunt was the only one to fall as the zonethope continue to tank every random shot that hits them. So to redeem him self he assault them at 3 inches away and fails with a roll of double ones with the new difficult terrain penalty of a -2. After watching their brother epicly fail on the other side of the battle, the SM Tactical squad slowly move to hold their objective and fire at the first Warrior squad taking the barb strangler down. The SM Librarian lets out a Scream blasting the wounded Carifex off the board while he moved back toward his Drop Pod. Bottom Turn 3 BA2-Nid3 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bavsnid2k/bt3_zps6a8484dd.png The Nids out for blood draw 2 easy objectives this round much to my Blood Angels dismay. The Tyranofex runs up to objective 4 that was in the ruins in front of the Zonethopes, scoring a VP. Then that horde of gaunt who i had hoped were too busy laughing at the last SM Stern Guard finish him off with another volley of shooting scoring a VP. Then the Carifexes assault the damaged Furioso finishing him off. Things were looking bleak on the right flank with only a Drop Pod left on that side. the First Warrior squad shoots at theSM Tactical sqaud taking down one more. The Second Warrior squad hoping to cripple my psychic phase shoot at the SM Librarian. Unfortunate for the Tyranids his armor held. Mawlock burrowed to get ready to eat again. Top Turn 4 BA4-Nid3 http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag200/the_power_of_war/bavsnid2k/tt4_zps324f075c.png Finally the Blood Angels Warlord Arrived and a score-able objective was drawn !!!!! The Warlord and his unit of Assault Marines land their Drop Pod on Objective 4 Scoring it with an Objective Secure Drop Pod ! Then the Warlord Lets out his Psychic Scream on the Tyranofex, knocking it to oblivion. The SM Librarian After seeing how to scream hits the Carifex unit. The Leadership roll was 4, 5, 6 . Nothing but mush remained. At this point the Hive Mind called for a retreat and a Line breaker VP which made that a Blood Angels victory! After thoughts: I was really lucky that the Zonethropes periled right after their first shot otherwise that flank would have fallen sooner. The Maelstrom Missions make you think on your feet so you lists have to be able to adapt not only to your opponent but what cards you draw. With the way things were looking before that last turn the Nids were looking like they were going to win.
