I NEEED to see this!!!!

 

MOAR!!!!

 

Edit: You posted the SOH twice by the way, I need to see your scars!

its fixed now and a quick list run down is available under the images, Dan and I need to do a full run through turn by turn as hes using my army and never played 30k and only had one intro 40k game. we have beer CC's Coke and starwars battlefront to keep us going between turns as I don't want to over stimulate him.

 

next week I have my brother down for some SoH v SW and my mate Jamie coming for some WS v AL all 30k games.

so we have the objectives set up;

objective #1 location entrance to the imperial strongpoint

Turn 1 WS;
So white scars go first sons try to steal the initiative with no luck, models move into position for objectives 2 and 4 and 3 respectively.
gallery_72610_11504_1212665.jpg

the assault marines run and the thallax copy taking up position behind the tank traps.

Viridian opens fire as a counts as paladin and drops 3 large templates on the terminators on objective 1.

1 terminator drops to the barrage.

Turn 1 SoH;

Achillies moves out towards the 4th objective and opens up on the tactical squad managing 4 dead white scars.
gallery_72610_11504_1418506.jpg

the dereddeo opens fire taking out 2 thalllax (some luck I had with them not a single kill)

gallery_72610_11504_1854.jpg

and turn 1 ends with nothing spectacular as of yet. we forgot to fire the kheres contemptor but ohh well.

gallery_72610_11504_969805.jpg

start of turn 2

gallery_72610_11504_42768.jpg

White scars;

attempting for reserves and the fire raptor came into play

gallery_72610_11504_22150.jpg

gallery_72610_11504_868324.jpg

the thallax and tactical move on to objective 4 hoping to pop the achillies in the process

gallery_72610_11504_35445.jpg

the knight and assault marines proceed up the flank but viridian turns its gaze towards the achillies meanwhile the techmarine disembarked to take objective 2

gallery_72610_11504_92085.jpg

the contemptor though makes a loudmouth comment and in turn gets shredded by a hand full of 6's

gallery_72610_11504_1895080.jpg

the thallax manages to glance off a hullpoint

gallery_72610_11504_76947.jpg

the fire raptor moves into position and takes out a couple termies and wipes off another chillies hullpoint

Turn 2 SoH;

the achillies moves and drops off the seekers

gallery_72610_11504_123193.jpg

horus deepstrikes in with his retuine and opens fire on the assault squad

gallery_72610_11504_68540.jpg

and the dereddeo manages to remove 2 hull points from the raptor

Once again we forgot that the seekers should have fired doi!

so guys here we go.

WS turn 3;

so after losing most of my tactical squad in the previous turn and no ability to fury I decided to shoot and charge in an attempt to remove the seekers from objective 4

this however spectacularly failed and I was left with just my sgt. (I swear my dice are cursed)

gallery_72610_11504_80892.jpg

so I knew what next turn held for me

gallery_72610_11504_181514.jpg

I then turn from objective 3 and decide horus needs to be taken down and luckily I got 2 plasma shots in and dropped a terminator.

gallery_72610_11504_164168.jpg

then I made the mistake of charging even though they are assault marines id hardly say they were worth it.

gallery_72610_11504_224964.jpg

The lone thallax decided that the achillies had lived long enough and with spectacular precision exploded the bad boy

gallery_72610_11504_57419.jpg

Soh turn 3;

So the seekers made short work and killed my sgt with 2 meltas to the face for equal measure, thus securing objective 4

gallery_72610_11504_218025.jpg

and horus wiped out the assault squad from the previous turn

gallery_72610_11504_11160.jpg

which put the SoH in the lead by the end of turn 3

gallery_72610_11504_111032.jpg

ws turn 4;

finally my jetbike praetor came in and rather than losing him against horus I thought :cuss it lets contest objective 1 and go for slay the warlord

gallery_72610_11504_127987.jpg

I then decided to see if viridian could take on horus in combat

gallery_72610_11504_73927.jpg

the fire raptor returned to play

gallery_72610_11504_116140.jpg

and viridian shot the terminators to death

gallery_72610_11504_221544.jpg

got my praetor in to cc and slayed a terminator

gallery_72610_11504_148306.jpg

and the worst ever cc dice rolling I ever rolled occurred in the holy big cheese v mecha Streisand.

gallery_72610_11504_129120.jpg

Soh turn 4;

so all that was left by the end of turn 4 was the 2 cc matches and with horrible dice rolling and armour saves and invun saves out the wazoo we were at a stale mate.

we rolled for turn 5 and we did get it but battlefront booze and 40 degree heat got the better of us.

gallery_72610_11504_103479.jpg

so as you can see we got a decent amount of carnage from a small table. I will need to expand it and add to my armies as they are pretty useless in a bigger game. MVP id have to say was the lone thallax with multi melta he pretty much shook off everything and toasted the achillies all by himself.

so at the start of turn 5 the score was

gallery_72610_11504_201906.jpg

so the White scars won thanks to the techmarine camping on the 3 objective and the praetor for contesting objective 1

  • 2 weeks later...

Ohh ummm I'll post some good pics they were done for ETL IV so you'd have to dig through it but as im using them I'll take some good pics.

 

I need to expand them anyway now I've added a siciran and another 5 termies I'll need another 5 recons a Vindicator and 10 more termies

So my brother didn't bother to tell me his flight was changed to an earlier one so after much rushing I'm at the airport to get him which means our game won't be tonight but rather today!

 

So hopefully in 2 hours I'll be posting live yet again
