Game 43

This game was a couple of weeks ago but I'm only just recovered from the almighty kicking that BFG gave me with his Ravenwing terminators! Again. ;-)

I tried to be a bit bolder in this game sending off stuff on my left flank to get some sorts on the squad of Dark Angels advancing that way.

However my shooting wasn't particularly effective and they kept on advancing.....

...to join their mates who deep struck in. Oh dear.

From that point onward I was mainly fighting a retreat whilst trying to steal cheeky points from the objectives.

The Terminators just, kept, coming.

Until I was basically stuck in a corner and holding the centre, briefly.

I wasn't totally one sided as the terminators were dropping but not quickly enough. I did get one or two lucky opportunities....

..pew pew...

but the BFG did good on his saves with a little command dice help if memory serves me.

A win for the Dark Angels but I had the satisfaction of seeing my techmarine proxy deal out some hurt on some unsuspecting Angels! Who would have thought that a techmarine be good against heavies like terminators???

It's a techmarine. Honest.

Game 38

Game 38 was an objectives game with the mission cards piting the BFG's Ravenwing Terminators against my Howling Griffons artillery list.

Another one I neglected to take photos for.

God! New terminators are NAILS! They soak up so much fire and I could not stop them getting to my lines.

The Griffons took an early lead on points but the Dark Angels kept on coming. I can't quite remember who actually won it but I think it was a final round win to BFG as he pipped me by one point close game.

Game 34

34 was a cracking game with Fark and the Silverfox bringing the Imperials up against my Eldar.

I felt confident with my wave serpents drawn up against to smallish armies of marines. I knew that the ravenwing Terminators traditionally died to massed firepower and I'd brought that to the table! Oh yeah I'm gunna shoot me some termina......

...Nope.

No I'm not. They are as tough as old boots! And then once you finally managed to kill the fecker with the stormshield who fends off all the Reaper missiles.....the Apothecary brings him back the next round. Git!

The terminators weathered a hail of shots round after round seized the objective and I just couldn't stop them strolling off with it. A solid win for the Imperials. I should have been much more aggressive and steamed forward.

We learned in this game that the cover save added to power armour makes Devastator squads hard to kill. Oh my yes they are hard to get rid of!

TTFN.
