My opponent didn’t have a written list, but it was something like this:
1 Farseer

6 howling banshees, riding in a Falcon

6 Fire dragons, riding in a Falcon

8 Dire avengers

2 Falcons

1 Flying thing, that I didn’t know the name about. (Probably a Viper, but not sure…)

Now I hope that you know what it is, and don’t hesitate to add the point values!

We agreed to play victory points and we deployed up to 12 inch.
I got the first turn and my opponent failed to seize.

I had a very cramped deployment zone, since the table was 3 by 4 feet.
Now I wanted to prevent the Eldar from coming too close towards me. I was quite afraid of the Howling Banshees. I deployed in such a way that the Leman Russ tank was covered by the infantry squads.

A new Leman Russ and a Primaris Psyker had just arrived to our regiment. I took a small part of my company to the field for a little training exercise. The exercise went quite good and I felt that my men were ready for a bigger challenge. I wished to the Emperror for such a chance. Suddenly we saw some Eldar in the distance, going straight towards us. I thanked the Emperor and I seized the opportunity for a good exercise for my men.



Turn 1:
I move almost all my infantry forward and I fire with my Autocannon squads and the Leman Russ. However, I fail to do any harm.
The infantry squads are still used as a screen for the weaker units.

The enemy was coming straight at us, so I decided to get the best cover as possible for my own soldiers. The Leman russ and the Autocannon squads fired at their aircraft, but all of them missed…



My opponent moves forward, the howling banshees disembark and then my opponent opens fire, I suffer some casualties.

The Eldar came closer towards us and the enemy disembarked right in front of our guns!

Turn 2:
I move further forward and I fire at the howling banshees, burning two away and shooting another one.

We carefully moved forward, trying to get the best firing positions as possible. Some squads were hiding in the buildings, so that they would not be seen.

My opponents moves his falcon with fire dragons towards my tank, but doesn’t blow it up.
The banshees assault one infantry squad and kill JUST one guardsman!
I strike back and kill two of them, the last one fails his LD-check and flees.

The enemy attacked one of our squads, but our brave soldiers hit back and they hit back hard! So hard, that the cowardice Eldar turned away and tried to make a run for it!

Turn 3:
I follow the enemy and mop up as much as possible.
All the fire dragons except one die from lasgun fire, the last Banshee is shot by my PCS, the Leman Russ battle tank wipes out the Dire Avenger squad. The Autocannon teams destroy a weapon on the Eldar flying thing. The special weapon squad blows up the Falcon and the explosion kills one Guardsman and the Farseer!

Now everything was on the right place, the Falcon with the fire dragons parked right in front of our meltaguns and within a moment it was a burning wreck! The explosion send pieces of derbish in all directions! One piece hit the Farseer in the throat, leaving a large pile of blood. The fire dragons that jumped out of the vehicle were shot by our brave soldiers.

My opponent hides behind a building and asks if we can quit the game.
I agree…



The Eldar retreated as fast as possible after our great glorious attack! Their aircraft disappeared behind a building. We suffered some wounded soldiers, but no major injuries.

May the Emperor smile on you,

Captain Detlev Vordon, 197th Bataviran.

The results:
I have lost around 20 Imperial guardsmen in one battle…
That is quite less, usually I have way more casualties…

Nice match

Now, I believe you might have some questions noobbomb?
Here you can ask them, not in the recruitment thread.

Like? I know I wasnt in there thanks to my demotion..

Do you want to apply for commissar?

?? Dont get you ATM..

thenoobbomb wrote:?? Dont get you ATM..

I was wondering if you want to be a commissar.
However, you can get your old rank back if you don't blow up any latrines anymore.

Nah, Ill stay Stormtrooper Sergeant. Like them better then commisars

Anyways, who needs latrines?!

thenoobbomb wrote:Nah, Ill stay Stormtrooper Sergeant. Like them better then commisars

A lot of people do.
Now, let's hunt some Orks!

Sure! Lets hunt Orks indeed!

And you can do your needs in the nature.. No latrine needed!

we should have a moment of silence for the 222nd :(

ineptus astartes wrote:we should have a moment of silence for the 222nd :(

We should have one before each battle.

Morebosis emerges from the ruins of the latrine, his trousers around his ankles, revealing flowery pink underwear. He is covered in brown stains.
By the Emporer, I go to the latrine for 10 minutes and the next thing I know the entire thing turns upside down and it...it goes everywhere... What the hell happened?! What the hell?

ineptus astartes wrote:we should have a moment of silence for the 222nd :(

Morebosis stands silently, his head bowed in the traditional show of respect of the Illbostran Family gangs, before caving the face of Marshall Larkin on to his shoulder with a rusted knife; an unusual show of empathy from such a cold individual.
It is truly a sad thing, that such worthy friends should face such heavy retribution for their bravery and honour. But by the Emporer's mercy, I swear we shall have our vengeance against the treacherous Modquisitors who brought about their demise. Ready the meltagun, men! I'm in the mood for some hunting...

Is this the role-play thread or your battle reports, because I enjoy thinking and reading both.

It is both, but noone seems to care much about the role play aspect of it, not enough people are commited enough to this I guess.

Ya, I am guessing not too many RPers in the ranks

Just a friendly reminder: We might or might not have a commissar in our ranks.
So you'd better behave...

Crap, one of those idiots? I've had enough trouble with them in the past...
Realises what he just said and glances around nervously...

*Sergeant Taveth facepalms himself*

Hopefully those Commissar's werent in any of the latrines

(for some odd reason a MOD would be really suitable as a commissar)

Good luck getting one of them to sign up, although your right they would make a good commisar.

A Commissar? I don't think I've been here enough to know if that's bad or good. So should we start one or continue with one? I wouldn't mind a good role-play, get the rust from my gears.

can i be in the tank?

Sure, what kind of position? Gunner, commander, driver, loader?

commander!
