Greetings all,

I've got a brief battle report for you all today, from my league game last night. Our league isn't prescriptive about game sizes or fixed lists etc, so I agreed to play a 2000pt game against Andy H and his Orks.





Terminator Captain, Shield Eternal, Thunder Hammer

Terminator Chaplain, Storm Bolter, Crozius Arcanum

Terminator Librarian, Storm Bolter, Force Staff





3 Squads of 5 Sniper Scouts with Camo Cloaks





10 Cataphractii Terminators, 2 Heavy Flamers, 8 Combi Bolters, 1 Power Sword, 2 Chainfists, 3 Lightning Claws and 4 Powerfists.

7 Vanguard Veterans, 5 Bolt Pistols, 2 Pairs of Lightning Claws, 2 Power Axes, 2 Power Swords, 1 Relic Blade.





Predator, Twin Lascannons, 2 Heavy Bolters

Thunderfire Cannon

Devastator Squad (7 man), 4 Missile Launchers, Armorium Cherub





Stormhawk Interceptor, Las Talon, Typhoon Missile Launcher, 2 Assault Cannons





My opponent had (roughly) the following

2 Warbosses, 2 big meks, 2 weirdboys, 1 doc

A squad of meganobs in a big trakk with skorchas

A squad of Nobs in a trukk

A squad of Tankbustas in a trukk

A large squad of boys in a battlewagon

A burna bomber

A squad of gretchin

A squad of boys on foot.





My opponent finished deploying first, but I got first turn, and drew a nice hand of cards. The Vanguard dropped in and charged the gretchin, so that I could take the objective from them (and score 3 victory points for doing so). I also managed to target the burna bomber with enough firepower to get rid of it this turn, though everything else I shot at the big trakk, taking off some wounds but not doing enough to kill it or drop it down a bracket.





In return, the meganobs got out of the big trakk to go after the vanguard, while the normal trukks whizzed their cargo up the middle of the table. The tankbustas took some pot shots at the predator, but only stripped 3 wounds.









So, all in all the league is going really well. I've played twice as many games as my nearest challenger, but with only 2 losses from my 8 games and a couple of bonus points from tablings, the others are going to have to work pretty hard to catch me. I've got two games left to play, against Night Lords and Dark Angels





Till next time!
