No idea who his commander was, he stayed behind the
ADL with his 10 zombies manning his Quad Gun
5 Chaos Marines
Vindicator with some kind of
Str 10 Ordance with 24 inch range gun on it
and of course, 2 Helldrakes. (this was my first game against them and whoever wrote them up needs to get dragged out into the parking lot and pummeled)
He sets up and goes first putting his tank on his far left and his
ADL just right of his center. I set up center with Longstrike directly opposite his tank but just barely away from the edge of the table so even if he moves his tank 6 inches up the 24 inch gun is out of range.
I fail to seize, his tank blast scatters in front of the
ADL doing nothing and his Quad Gun shoots my Crisis Team but they make their armor save.
My turn Longstrike was still recovering from his drinking after the
IG victory and fails to damage the tank. Pathfinders light up his commander and zombies with a couple of tokens and the Cadre Fireblade on the Quad Gun and his Firewarriors kill couple of zombies and thanks to a failed
LoS roll and armor save and Feel no Pain he takes a wound. The other Firewarrior squad being out of range of his
ADL turns their sites on the side armor of the tank and get one glancing hit.
Turn 2 both his buzzards come on the field, Fireblade intercepts the one on my right that was threatning my
ADL and I manage to get one hit through and takes away his ability to fire that silly flamer for the turn. His tank shoots at Longstrike and pens but I made my 4+ cover save. His other buzzard lights up my Crisis Suits killing two of them and his
ADL tries to assist but they make their armor saves.
My turn, Longstrike's head is still ringing from his hangover and the ordnance round that just landed next to him and does a whole lot of nothing to the tank thats 20 inches in front of him. Pathfinders try to markerlight the buzzard that is threatening my
ADL but they miss. Fireblade without his Quad Gun (since it intercepted cant fire) attempt to shoot the zombies and
ADL but don't do a whole lot. My 2nd Firewarrior squad laugh at Longstrike and shows him how its done and put 5 glancing hits on the side armor of the tank wrecking it. The commander and his last crisis suit shoot at the buzzard that lit them up last turn but do nothing.
Turn 3 he switches to hover mode on his threatening buzzard, vector strikes over the pathfinders who don't like that and break and then lines up his flamer and roasts the Fireblades Firewarrior unit and trashes the Quad Gun though Fireblade himself wasn't under the template and survives and doesn't break. He lets his other buzzard fly off the field and shifts his marines to his right flank where my Commander was starting to threaten.
Pathfinders rally and consolidated into some area terrain, my remaning firewarriors spread out and Fireblades attempts to join up with them but doesn't have enough movement. During Shooting the Firewarriors pray to their god, the Pathfinders attempt to shine their laser pointers in the buzzards eyes but fail misarbly and Longstrike finally gets in the game and shoves a railgun spike right up the tailpipe of the hovering helldrake who fails his 5++ save and gets exploded over some pathfinders and firewarriors.
Turn 4 his buzzard takes the field again, vector strikes my crisis suits and takes one out. His marines clear terrain and take up position to be able to shoot my commander if comes out of cover of a building. His commander shoots his Quad gun at my
ADL.
My shooting, my commander does in fact jump out, puts a rapid fire plasma and fusion shot into his 5 man unit killing two, but I don't get a very good
JSJ roll and am somewhat exposed. Longstrike attempts to put a submunition round on his command squad on the Ageis and I kill a few zombies.
Turn 5 his 2 plasma guns make toast of my commander, his quad gun does nothing and he sets his buzzard up for a run on my firewarriors next turn. My turn, Pathfinders advance over the wreckage of the helldrake but don't get very far. Fireblade joins up with the firewarriors and convinces them to spread out a bit more to make it as hard as possible for that flamer to roast em all just the the other unit (which this one had actually shifted left and was pretty much in the same place as the first unit was.. so I guess they figured the melted puddles of armor and charred flesh inspired good things in them).
At the end of the turn my opponent is apparently very worried about the board state (I have 4 pathfinders, 10 Firewarriors with Fireblade and Longstrike left) and he offers to end the game with a tie. (I had first blood, he had slay the warlord and we both held one point.) I looked at the buzzard that was about to turn on my firewarriors and roast a whole lot of them knocking me off the objective, looked at him with that

look on my face and accepted before he could change his mind.
