Looking after we had set this up, i knew it was going to be an intersting battle, because we were both trying to flank each other. Luckily he didnt have much heavy weaponry, and so i thought i had the advantage, enjoy.- Lord Dnigh |
| Turn 1: Well, i charged everything in their proposed direction, forward on each flank, and used my ravager to open fire on the right flank, killing 2 marines already. Casualties= 2 Marines. Chaos moved forward, but everything was out of reach. Land Raider moved forward so he would have a good shot the next turn. Casualties= Nothing.

Only 1 reaver dies. Casualties= 7 berzerkers, 1 lord, Land Raider, 3 bikes, 1 reaver. Chaos send in the Deep Strikers, Terminators land in the middle with a thud, one squad firing on Alpha one, the other on Alpha 2, killing 14 warriors from 1, and 11 from alpha 2. They then charge the Hellions, and kill 7. When they strike back, only one terminator dies. Casualties= 25 warriors! ( Suprise ) , 7 hellions, 1 terminator. Comments: Well, i thought the game went very well, except at the end, but what are you goign to do? Those terminators gave me a suprise, killing 25 warriors, and 7 hellions when i had minimal casualties. I thought my oppenent didnt pick a good force for this, as more land raiders and heavy support would have been fine, and took out more advancing warriors. - Lord Dnigh |
