Firestorm salvo collapses the void shield on the third hit. Deathwing assault first turn, lands all squads safely. Belial lands directly next to the demon prince. The assault squad has a mishap and is placed in the corner.

Victory to the Dark Angels.

 

Well I must say that went alot more like the fluff than any game I have ever played. Planetstrike is when terminators really come into their own. It'll be interesting to see if I can get that Castellum fortress up and running... Defense may prove much more challenging. That being said my opponents dice really let him down. Had he gotten off a summoning and some his turn one attacks gone better it might have been a different game. Looking forward to a Night Lords rematch!
