We roll both of our Warlord Traits. I get Command Trait Coordinated Assault. His warlord get the Personal Trait Legendary Fighter. I then roll for Grand Strategy. I get to choose 3 units for the special ablities. I give all my terminators scouts.


The Blood Angels get to place the first objective in the roll off and they also seize first turn.

Blood Angels Deployment:




Grey Knights Deployment and amazing picture of BrotherGnaeus:





I then try to seize the initiative but fail on a roll of 5 (facepalm).

Before his turn I do my scout moves and make a horrible mistake in what you will soon see.

Blood Angels Turn 1:

His drop pod comes down in a risky attempt to gain an objective. He lands on the spot. Coming out of the transport were 10 tactical marines. Everything else moves up into position, except the snipers who stay in cover. All the Sanguinary guard and assault marines with jump packs stay behind their razorbacks. After the Blood Angels moved up the Tactical Squad rapid fired onto the 5 man Strike Squad. Killing 1 from bolter fire. The Vindicator in all of it's glory shoots its Demolisher Cannon at my Terminator Squad on my left. He gets a direct hit and kills 8 terminators. He then fires razorbacks snipers. Doing no more damage

Grey Knights Turn 1:

In quick response I turn my Strike Squad to face the Tactical Squad. I also move one of my Terminator Squads to help out the Strike Squad by giving them some extra fire. I shuffle my central Terminators around, moving up a little. Dreadnoughts hold their position, and the 2 Terminators left in that squad forward. The Strike Squad then opens fire on the Tactical Squad, killing 2 from storm bolters. The Psycannons in the Terminator Squad fires and kills 3 more of them. The tactical squad does not fall back. The Dreadnoughts look at the Razor back with the assault cannon and both fire at it. Destroying its weapon and immobilizing it. The Central Terminator Squad then fires both psycannons at the Vindicator blowing it up. The Strike Squad then charges into the Tactical Squad. The Tactical Squad overwatches and kills 1 2 Grey Knight. We both hit at the same time. I roll horribly and only kill 2 tactical marines. He hits me doing 1 kill. Then his powerfist hits me the 1 Grey Knight dies. I then lose combat and start falling back 6 inches.











Blood Angels Turn 2:

He rolls a 3 to fail for reserves, no Storm Raven comes in. He moves up his Las/Plas Razorback into position to fire at the terminators. The Sanguinary Guard jump out in front of my 2 Terminators. He starts shooting by firing the storm bolter in the drop pod at my last Grey Knight. Killing him. The Tactical Squad fires at the Terminators at do nothing. The Las/Plas Razorback fires and kills 3 Terminators with rapid firing the plasmagun and the lascannon. The Sanguinary Guard fire their weapons at the terminators doing no damage. They charge me and I overwatch them. Killing none. I attack fire. I score 2 wounds with my halberd and he saves them with a 2+ save. He hits me and does no damage with power weapons. I hit him with my daemon hammer and kill 1. He his me with his powerfist killing both of them. They then reconsolidate 6 inches.

Grey Knights Turn 2:

My Terminators on the left move a little to get into better range at the Razorback that took down 3 of their brothers. Everything else holds their ground. Both Dreadnoughts open fire on the Sanguinary Guard and Priest and kills the whole squad. The Terminator Squad fires at the razorback blowing it up. The Terminator Squad in the center fires all weapons at the Assault Squad on an objective. Killing all of them.

We didn't take pictures for this turn because we were running out of time.


Blood Angels Turn 3:

The Storm Raven comes in after rolling a 5. He moves it 26" straight and pivots. Its fires all its weapons at the Terminator Squad on the left. Killing 2 Terminators. The snipers fired and did no damage to the Terminators.

Grey Knights Turn 3:

Central Terminator Squad spreads out to grab both objectives. The Terminator Squad on the left fires and kills 2 tactical marines. The Sergeant does not fall back. The Dreadnoughts see the Storm Raven as a major threat. They both focus fire on the Storm Raven stunning it. Even though the assault cannon razorback couldn't do anything from the damage it has taken, The Terminators wanted it gone. They fire and wreck it by taking off its last hull point. The Command Squad then comes out the back of Razorback to hide from the Grey Knight firepower.



Blood Angels Turn 4:

The Storm Raven moves another 26" to get the near the Vunerable Terminator Squad. The Death Company come out. The Death Company come out and then charge. Overwatch kills 1 Death Company. They fight each other and the the halberd only killed 1 and the hammer killed 1. At I6, Lemartes did nothing, nor did anything else, except for the power fist which scored 1 wound. Killing my Terminator with the halberd. The Terminators win combat, but Death Company are fearless. They stay in combat.

Grey Knights Turn 4:

Everyone stays in their positions. The Dreadnoughts fire at the Storm Raven only taking another hull point off. The Central Terminator Squad fired and did nothing to the Raven. The Last Terminator then dies against the Death Company in CC.

Blood Angels Turn 5:

The Death Company Move 12" away out of sight of the last Terminator Squad. The Storm Raven fires at the Terminator Squad killing 1 Terminator. The Bloodstrike missile fires and does not penetrate the Dreadnought.

Grey Knights Turn 6:

The Terminator Squad and Grandmaster move a little to see the Death Company. They open fire killing all of them. The Dreadnoughts then fire at the Storm Raven. They glance it enough for it to wreck right in front of them.






We roll again and the game counts into turn 7. There is not much left to do.


Blood Angels Turn 7:

The Last Tactical Marine moves near the objective. The Snipers fire and do nothing.


Grey Knights Turn 7:

The Terminators fire at the Tactical Marine killing him. The Dreadnoughts fire at the scouts to see what they could do. They killed 2 scouts.

The Game ends.

Grey Knights: 5

Blood Angels: 5

Tie!


Me:
4 points for one objective and 1 point for first blood.

BrotherGnaeus: 5 points for holding both his objectives.


Epic Handshake






It was a great game with BrotherGnaeus. He fought well. He stayed true and made it a bloody battle. I was really excited to try this list out since I love Terminators so much. He loved his list too. He tried it against my Templars and went 1-1 with it. The Grey Knights gave him a harder time. But he still killed many of my troops. Good game.

Black Templars are the best Space Marine Chapter out of all the Space Marines. They are the most fanatical marines out there. They are on an endless, eternal crusade for the god emperor. AND they get in the face of the enemy. Thats the way to get things done.

score was 7-5! stop trying to cheep me a point! I held the 2 and 3 you had the 4 and 3 and the other 2 and 1 were untaken



We are winged salvation, but we are a terrible, final salvation, and our wings embrace the horizon with fire. We are the Blood Angels. To confront us is to die, and death is my remit, my reality, my unbounded domain. I have known death, and defeated it, claimed it as my own. To my cost, to my strength, death is my one gift to bestow, and I am nothing if not generous.

Hahaha. I thought your side had 3, 2, 2. I thought the Assault Squad with Jump Packs was on 3. My bad dude.

Thanks for the report, enjoyed the read. Nice list, putting together a GKT heavy army myself.

I guess you learnt the hard way about spacing your guys out, need to the max 2 inch distance in a line or 'U' shape.

I'd maybe consider a bit more terrain on the table as it looks a tad barren.

Keep up the good work, I'll look forward to the next one.

Glad you liked the report! GKT lists are really fun to play. I love the feeling of fielding so many terminators. I am going to need to be more careful of those high strength templates. They are pretty scary and with so few models I really go punished. I will be posting more battle reports soon!

The objective grabbing is a little unclear in your report. It almost sounds like you are holding 2 objectives in the end with a single unit of terminators... which is not allowed. (BRB pg 123)

It also sounds like you didn't count points for Secondary Objectives or Kill Points for any Fast Attack Units.

Otherwise, great read... keep it up.

Ah your right, then the game would be a tie. Since I got first blood. Then I get 4 points for one objective. He has 5 for his 2 objectives being held. I'll edit it right now. Thanks for the heads up!

Nice report Stormtrooper520. Glad to see you got a chance to play a game with all the GKT's on the table. I have to agree with the comments above about the spacing out, if you are playing against anyone with templates, small or large, every terminator needs to be 2'' apart, so at most a template is hitting 2-3 terminators, not 8.

BTW I am posting up a foot BT list I think will rock some people!

Thanks man. Yeah I need to be more careful with templates. Even if they are Terminators they'll die like any other model to strength 10.

Nice I am excited to see it the templar list .
