Ogalois Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 First of all, i hope i'm posting in the right section of the forum. Now, let me tell you a tale of struggle and despair, of overwhelming power and the will to succeed; this was my long and painful journey to finally defeat the Imperial Guard. A long time ago, in a planet ostracized from the galaxy me and my good friends learnt together how to play Warhammer Fantasy, we spent wonderful years playing the game, but my path took me away from the hobby, now that i return they are the ones teaching me how to play Warhammer 40k and it is hard to defeat them and a blow to my ego that i can't. After 3 games against the Imperial Guard, i couldn't even get to the 5th turn, the first game i was wiped out in the 3rd turn; sad days. Yesterday, and after one month away from home, the Space Wolves covered themselves in blood and glory. With a simple and straight forward army list (50 Grey Hunters in Rhinos, 15 Long Fangs with missile launchers some scouts and Melta Speeders) i took down 7 of the 9 vehicles he fielded, 3 taurox, 2 Melta cannons tanks and 2 manticores, Only one melta tank and the Leman Russ survived. He fielded 21 Rough Riders, they all died, some via shooting, some via dangerous terrain XD and one unit fled from the table after 3 of them died from lucky snapshots. The manticores were ruthless and killed a couple of my rhinos, in the 3rd shot they killed almost all of my Long Fangs and thanks to the scouts and a retribution kill from the remaining longs the tanks didn't shoot their last shell. Yes, all my units were maimed by his heavy shooting, but being so many of them i could easily control objectives, in the end he had 2 tanks, 2 units of veterans poorly positioned (due to my scouts), 13 out of 25 laspistols and nothing more, I had 4 out of 5 of my Grey hunter units, 1 Rhino and 1 heroic Long Fang, called him Longoria. The final score was 13 vs 11 victory points, First victory of my space wolves against his guard. Yei! My Grey hunters are wiping out the blood of their bolters and chainswords, getting ready for more death and glory against the Grey Knights that they will face today. Thanks for reading, please leave a heroic comment. Ogalois.

Kasper_Hawser Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Well done man. I don't think you are wrong in posting here. I've seen many post their battle reports not only in their respective forums but also the Liber Victorum battle reports. Matter of fact, I'm going to post one now!

Kasper_Hawser Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Not really OLg, Imperial Guard have always been worthy opponents who rely on guts and guns to take on the worst monsters in the galaxy.

KiltedMarine Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Way to snap some threads! The Astra Militarum can pour on the fire, and that sounds like a well-designed force. ::raises mead horn high:: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294264-batrep-20k-space-wolves-vs-imperial-guard/#findComment-3757819 Share on other sites More sharing options...
