Space Marine Turn 1

After having the extreme good fortune of Sgt Theor's assault squad pulling a whimpering Governor from the rooftop utility shed, the attack presses on. Two defilers fall to the to the orbital strikes and devastator firepower. Elsewhere in the forge complex the demons maintain their impressive numbers despite the attentions of the Ravenwing and the Deathmarine battle company. Can the marines hold the line against the coming onslaught?

I don't know if i'll post the rest of this but you can find the whole thing here: Apocalypse

[Tanhausen]

Holy cow...so much effort in these rep...gotta love it!!!!!

[Chaplain Lucifer]

He has to put even more effort, I am super curious to see how this goes!

[Space Truckin]

There should be some kind of award for doing this - Epic doesn't even begin to describe it!  

I've already finished my breakfast and I'm still reading Turn 2 on your blog.

 

[Polythemus]

Thanks for the compliments guys. I did it for the club that has given me a lot. Feel free to donate to support a great independent store.

[Jolemai]

Always a pleasure to read these. Thanks for posting.

[Polythemus]

Well i figuerd what the hell heres some more....

Chaos 1: The onslaught of the Dark Gods begins. The counter attack is swift. Titan lands one blow on the bane blade while the second is deflected by the the powerfield generator carried by the DA Biker libby. The Plauguereaper unleasehes its pus cannon killing several bikers and many marines from the raven wing squad. The beasts of nurgle charge the forge control complex and get in combat with the marines and chaplain maximus. The Demon prince Bubonicus charges the bikers, while Mendicant reveals himself to the huntsmaster.

[Master Avoghai]

I have a little question : how did the titan manage to kill the storm talons?

[Polythemus]

well it didn't. I was attempting to show the blasts going under the flyers and onto the baneblade in the background. Probably should have used a different graphic.

Belial attempts to throw a vortex grenade at belakor but the dark master evades it and it scatters away.

 

SM turn 2 - The Deathmarines and the Dark Angels are able to bring about the destruction of the plague reaper. In the meantime Belial and the Deathwing drop into the fray with Belial's command squad charging the beasts of nurgle assaulting the Deathmarines and Chaplain Maximus.  In a desperate attempt to hold back the demons prince Bubonicus and the Fallen Prince Mendicant, Sammael and the ravenwing attempts to charge but cant get through the iron arm and the FNP of the avatars of Nurgle. Still even with death swirling around them the marines hold 4 out of 6 objectives.

The demons renew their charge on the Control station. With Belakor and the Prince Wildebeast choosing to avoid charging human to attempt to silence the guns of the Crusader. The great unclean one and the bug Prince charge the recently arrived terminators.

In the ruined manufactorum the brothers of the Deathmarine battle company attempt to hold off the demon prince Eddie using their comrades-in-arms rules.

Chaos 2 - Well the tide of momentum has swung back to Chaos. Having destroyed the bane blade, the forces of Darkness attempt to close the noose around Cypra Mundi. The titan lends its firepower to the destruction of the bane blade but must divert its other weapon to destroy the terminators preparing for an all out charge. Bubonicus and Mendicant continue to slay ravenwing marines with Impunity.

The Storm Eagle flies low, diverting from its vector towards the Titan. It is able to deliver the Deathwing Knights and Interragator Seraphicus, but the vortex thrown by Belial long ago, diverts into its path and sucks the mighty flier into the void!

Is there further treachery afoot? What can the Fallen demon prince Mendicant have in store for our heroes? Surely he means only the powers of nurgle are the dark angels curse... Or is there more?

Space marine 3 - The marines have been able to hold their objectives entering the final turn. The slaughter continues on the left flank, in the palace district, with Mendicant and Bubonicus singlehandedly destroying the ravenwing. Meanwhile, on the right flank, the power of the death wing begins to tell in the forge complex. The Stormraven and the Attack bike combine to destroy the plauge hulk; the deathwing knights destroy the great unclean one, and more beasts of the nurgle fall to the strength of power fists, but all is not perfect... the demon princes, Eddie kruger, Flaatus, Wildebeast, and Belakor slay marines by the dozen, and more nurgle bikers (riding horses) escape the searing bolters of the Justinian. Having crossed the avenue imperialis, Capt Ranuk, must leave his champion geryon and rejoins, tact squad 2, bracing for the full might of the iron warriors line! 

He calls out for battle and is answered by the Chaos Lord Effezz, also know as Darknoose, who emerges from his Land raider with entourage! The venerable dreadnaught emerges to threaten the plauge bearers in the back field, while the furioso battles the titan. Can the Marines hold out to save Cypra Mundi? Will Chaos call on some dark power? What is the secret that Prince Mendicant is holding back?

[Chaplain Lucifer]

Seems like the Loyalists needed more heavy hitters. They had some but it felt so few compared to so many Demon princes and a Titan...

As awesome as huge battle report. :D Too bad your side didn'twin. :D

[Brother Captain Arkley]

Too many posts to like :P 

 

Nicely done man as the good Chaplain said shame victory was not yours.

[Polythemus]

Ah well here's the thing. The Marines did win. We held 4 out of 6 objectives for the whole game. The objective secured nature of the troops of termies meant that we always held the right flank and the the assault squad held the left flank. Enven with evtensive losses in the middle from the line breaker squadron we were able to hold the two back field objectives. I ended with the shot of the two bad guys since they didn't get too much face time in the Battle report itself and because even in defeat chaos is ever present having released the angelic rot into the DA Gene seed, while cruising to victory on Cadia.

 

I hope you guys like the report. What are the criticisms of the report, aside from obvious typos, and the odd error in naming continuity? I might have another batrep of this size up my sleeve in the future.

[Tanhausen]

Quick thoughts:

 

- give a general sense of the zone

 

Whilst it might be difficult to get an "air" shot, sometimes its hard to grasp the whole field and how units interact

 

- do a general move diagram

 

Remember the old WD batreps, with "before movement/after movement" pic...and their colour arrows indicating how/where units moved? That might be a nice upgrade if possible

 

- an end of turn summary

 

Specially regarding points (unless you want people to read the whole thing...and go to the last post), but also maybe some other counters or remarkable actions that happened (and not pictured)

 

- thoughts

 

Did you discover some dark bit of RAW? Did a power surprise you? Did you opponents trick you into some combo?

 

IMHO, that's what usually makes us grow as player

 

TL;DR Your reps are a great read and can only go from great to greater :)

Probably could've tried too I'd the "zones" better.

Definite would add a ton of time for editing. Not a real possibility.

Definitely should add score.

Well at the time we didn't realize blasts now effect ruins so the levels don't matter, would have killed a ton more marines withe hell hammer (it was the start of 7th ed). It was my first apoc game so there were certainly a lot of lessons of apoc vs regular 40k. We made a primer to get a sense of rule difference. I will say that the battle company rules are really good.

 

TL;DR Your reps are a great read and can only go from great to greater :)
