Yeah,
This is the first game played on my newly painted Realm of Battle Board!
We arranged to play a 1500pts game and The varnish had literally just dried!
We agreed on a fair amount of terrain setup to make the board look good!
Ian brought his Noise Marines, they had once been part of Ian’s large 3000pts Slannesh Chaos Army. But with the New
CSM Codex and Chaos Daemons Codex Ian split the army into two and found things/ways to make each new army viable in 5th...
So we both wanted the win, I wanted to win the first game on my new board and Ian wanted to win his Noise Marines 5thEd Comeback game!

---Mission---
Because this was the first game on my new realm of battle board, we thought about using the special missions in WD347 but instead decided to use those another time and just roll for mission in the 5th ED rule book. We got Annihilation on table quarters which seemed fairly appropriate for two chaos cults squaring off!
I won the roll for first and picked the bottom Right quarter.
---Deployment---
My Daemon Prince and Chaos Terminators plus Ian’s Lord with his Chaos Terminators and lesser daemons were held in reserve. I formed a line along the deployment edge Ian set p a little further back.
Ian failed to seize the initiative?.............
