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.
