you'd better watch out, you'd better not cry, you'd better not pout I'm telling you why - commisar is coming to town.
he sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake (or he'll execute you).

....ok.

Your a terrible singer Cheslav, never do it again, or I'll have you executed, probably by a commisar.

of course. You would execute me for anything, so of course.
but your sese of irony is not well founded.

How is it we have access as a unit to alcohol LT?

If we didn't have alchohol, there is no way I would be able to restrain myself from killing Cheslav, he's just too damn annoying, and I'm not about to drink in front of my men and then deny them access to it, that would be cruel. So that is why we have alchohol trooper, because Cheslav is too damn annoying.

Hooray!

Cheselav! Hereby you are promoted/demoted (depends on how you look at it.) to Demitrix bodyguard.
You just keep doing what you already do, but now you follow him around all day and spend much more time together!

Have fun,
Detlev Vordon

Yeah i'l keep the same name. commander scorch!
update log please comrade!
no i gota think'o name for me beast!

Bahahaha!

What about, batavarian pride? or the lion of batavaia?

Or the screming death of batavia?

So... Today two games of 40k. Just 500 points.
One against Necrons and one against Chaos Marines.
However, no Battlereports...
Why not, you might wonder?
Because in both games, I got wiped out to the last man and didn't make a single kill. So there will probably be a lot of casualties and wiped out units.
Now, I'll leave the decision to you, do you guys insist on having battlereports?
If so, then I'll post them, but I'll also post the casualties...

I'm sorry, that I let you guys down again... This is the fourth game in a row that im wiped out...
Perhaps an example of what went bad?
12 lasgun shots at Chaos marines... 1 hit...

Could it be the fact that your were playing IG against a insane genetically enhanced super soldier molded by centuries of or, or that you were fighting stalwart destroyers of countless unknown races in their religious purgings? Don't be to down, everyone has their bad streaks, and the people who are just bad get to have a nice chat with a commissar and his hellgun pistol. However since you are not bad, from the ones I have read, it's just a down streak, and you wont get shot with big lead slugs.

Whats your list you keep running(I mean technical not fluff)

Yes, that would be interesting. Maybe we can help

Anyways, if you ill a necron, they respawn. Not your fault!

I used the following list:

CCS: 70
vox, standard

PCS: 35
Vox

IS: 60
Flamer, vox
IS: 60
Flamer, vox
IS: 60
Flamer, vox
IS: 60
Flamer, vox

HWS: 75
AC x 3

HWS: 75
AC x 3

Against the Chaos Marine player I had just bad luck, for instance I get to shoot 6 shots with the AC squads and just one hit.
Or the flamer hits all Chaos marines, but fails to wound one.

Also I got slaughtered because he assaulted like three squads in one turn.
Then they ofcourse lost and all ran away. I still find this lame...

Against the Necrons I could have won, that is the stupid part...
We rolled Seize ground as the first mission, (the mission with 2 + D3 objectives), but since my opponent had just one troopchoice, he wanted to roll again and I agreed.
Thus we got Killpoints. My opponent had 3 killpoints and I 5...

Then my opponent asked if we could play without Phase-Out, because he just had 15ish models and I agreed again...

Some minor things occured, like where I think I had a coversave, but which turned out not to be there, because he could see them. (firing through two buildings...)
When I fired back at him, then suddenly just one of the AC teams could fire instead of three.

Lastly, my opponent got angry when his Tomb Spyder got in close combat with my Imperial Guard.
His Tomb spyder is part of the unit and thus the majority of the unit counts.
(For those among us that don't understand it: A Tombspyder (T6) makes Scarab swarms (T2).)
So I couldn't hit his Tomb Spyder, because I had to roll separatly for the Tomb Spyder.
And I agreed again with him, although I knew it was wrong and pointed it out, I agreed, just because it's a game.

Also: Can you allocate wounds on Scarab swarms?
AKA: There are three swarms, you suffer three wounds, can you allocate them or just remove one Scarab swarm?

Scratch that, it's not a unit that can take more than three wounds, you choose the unit you are shooting at and not who's being shot at. So no, that was illegal.

Never let them ignore phase-out. Not having that is a game winner.

I'm glad to see that my autocannon is doing something

This means more training for me and my men!! To the training grounds!!!

Also if Cheslav is going to my bodyguard, I'm going to need more alcohol.

Thank the Emporer I arrived in time to drag all those wounded men back to the base, and call in an artillery strike on the Heretics. Drinks are on me tonight!

Yes indeed a nice move!
Also, I might get the Chaos Marine heads on friday or saturday, for your character.

5 Grey Knights: 110

Nemesis Dreadknight: 300
Personal Teleporter, Heavy incinerator, heavy psycannon, Nemesis Greatsword
We played capture and control. The deployment was pitched battle.
I deployed all of my forces except the Stormtroopers.
My opponent keeps his Grey Knights in reserve and wants to deepstrike them.
There was a lot of terrain, but that was actually pretty good, so we kept it.

The Inquisitor is a level one psyker and can give a psychic power to an unit. (Doom hammer if I recall correctly…)

I got the first turn and my opponent didn’t want to seize.
I deploy the tank and autocannon squads in cover and I deploy two infantry squads on the sides, with the idea of maybe grabbing an objective later in the game.

We had been out of supplies for a while, so we were in desperate need of supplies. Two containers were dropped by a Valkyrie, however, not on our positions... When we arrived on the spot, our enemies had also found the craters.
At the start the game looked like this:


1st Turn: I move the majority of my army forward. The Vindicare would get a 3+ cover save, so I order “Fire on my target” on the autocannon squads. The Autocannon squads open fire and remove a wound on the vindicare Assasin. The Leman Russ fires, but scatters too far off.
There was some creepy sniper hiding in a large building, so I ordered my Autocannon squads to fire at it. There was also a large thing moving behind a building, but I couldn't see it clearly.


My opponent moves his dreadknight and his inquisitor forward. The inquisitor sticks to cover, while the dreadknight opens fire on an infantry squad. They suffer 7 casualties. The vindicare assassin fires, but fails to wound one of my sergeants.
The large thing appeared from behind the building and it looked like a mini-titant. However, this was a rogue titan and it opened fire on our brave soldiers!


2nd Turn: I keep several squads in cover. The three remaining survivors of the left infantry squad keep advancing. The rest of the army also advances. The Autocannon teams kill the vindicare assassin. One infantry squad fires on the inquisitor but fails to wound.
Joachim Heise, the sergeant of the infantry squad, boldly pressed on after suffering so many casualties. The Sergeant Kracken and Katrin Stark shot the creepy sniper that was hiding in the building.


My opponent’s grey knight squad with justicar arrives. Then he moves his dreadknight forward and wipes out one of my Platoon command squads with the heavy incinerator. The Greyknights that just deepstriked kill two Autocannon teams and wound the last one. Then the inquisitor charges one of the infantry squads. I lose two soldiers and the soldiers cause a wound on the inquisitor.
Then some crazy soldiers appeared, right among us. They had been hiding before the battle, waiting for us. Anyway, they opened fire on the Autocannons and caused some wounds. Then the large thing opened fire on one of my platoon command squads.


3rd Turn: The Autocannon fails it’s LD-check and runs away. I move my units towards the combat. The Leman Russ fires it’s battle cannon and kills 4 Grey knights. The Inquisitor kills one more Imperial Guard in close combat and I cause one wound.
Sergeant Kracken was hurt pretty baldly but he refused to leave his spot behind the Autocannon. I had to threaten him, otherwise he wouldn't leave his gun behind. Eventually he dragged Katrin Stark back to the medicae.


My opponent moves his dreadknight forward and attacks my Leman russ, the tank explodes and kills three of the Company command squad. The other Grey knight squad arrives and kills one of the left infantry squad. Then the lone Justicar charges into the close combat with the Inquisitor, but he suffers a perils of the warp attack and the Justicar is removed as a casualty. The inquisitor kills one more Guardsman.
The last surviving enemy charged at one of our brave infantry squads. Suddenly the rogue fell down and started clawing at his brains and dropped dead. That was a great thing to see!


4th Turn: I move almost my entire army around, the left infantry squad still tries to sneak towards the objective. The infantry squad that is in close combat with the inquisitor gets beaten and run down.
The fighting carried on! Joachim Heise still pressed forward with his squad.


My opponent moves his dreadknight and fires. The newly arrived grey knights fire on the sneaking infantry squad. I go to ground and manage to survive it. The inquisitor assaults my Rough Riders, but suffers a Perils of the Warp and dies.
The leader of the rogue suddenly ran towards our Bataviran Rough Rider, however this guy too fell down and started clwaing at his brains... What was it with these guys?

5th Turn: The stormtroopers finally arrive! They kill two grey knights. Then the Rough Riders charge the remaining three Grey knights and kill them all. After that I consolidate them and put them on a line, a stupid mistake.
Finally, our Stormtroopers arrived. They had found a good position and fired at the rogues and then the Rough Riders arrived and killed any survivors.


My opponent teleports his his dreadknight towards the Rough Riders and kills 5 Rough Riders and 2 Stormtroopers. The stormtroopers fail their Ld-check and fall back.
Then the mini-titan teleported around and attacked our Rogh Riders.


6th Turn:
I cannot regroup the stormtrooper squads, so I move towards my objective with all of my troops, but I don’t have it.
My sneaky squad has the other objective.
I ordered Demtrix Nulstovsky to go towards one of the containers. We needed atleast one container, otherwise we wouldn't have any food!


My opponent kills one of the soldiers of the sneaking squad. The remaining sergeant fails his LD-check and runs away.
Then the titan-like thing moved towards Joachim Heise and his last surviving soldiers, this was too much for him and he decided to drag his firend back to the camp.

7th Turn:
The stormtroopers regroup, fire and assault the dreadknight, but they are wiped out. The sergeant still falls back and I run towards the objectives.
Samuel Linius gathered his squad around. Apperently he was very angry for he charged the mini-titan singlehandedly. His squad followed him, a moment later. Too bad it was in vain, the titan swatted them aside, they are lucky to be still alive!


The dreadknight attacks me and fires at the last infantry squad. 8 soldiers die as well as a soldier in the company commander squad.
The large titant teleported towards us, opened fire and then teleported away again. We expected it to return, but it didn't...

So Demitrix Nulsotvsky grathered the container, while I went around to gather as much of our wounded as possible.


May the Emperor smile on you,
Captain Detlev Vordon, commander of the third company, 197th Bataviran

In the end, I got one objective, my opponent zero.

Afterthoughts:
That Dreadknight is a beast! That thing alone slaughtered my entire army.
It really smashed through everything that was in front of it, Leman Russes, Imperial guardsmen, Stormtroopers.
I think I got quite lucky with the orders rolls, I believe I haven’t failed one, thanks to the voxcasters.
As for another thing, movement is extremely important, if I moved the Leman Russ just slightly, I could have perhaps saved it, the dreadknight now had an auto-hit on it. If I spread out the Rough Riders more, I could have perhaps saved them as well…

Confirmed kills:
Sergeant Kracken and Katrin Stark killed a VincidcareAssassin
Samuel Linius and Keith Kolojeie each killed a Grey Knight
Olivia Asper killed two Grey Knights. (Lucky Rolls!)
An anonymous Rough Rider killed a grey knight.
The Leman Russ and his crew killed four Grey Knights.

Casualties:
The Leman Russ is out of action, let’s hope the Techpriests can fix it in time for the next battle.
The Stormtroopers are wounded.
The platoon command has to skip the next game.
The infantry squads are wounded.
The Autocannon squads are wounded too.
The Rough Riders are slightly wounded.

Medals:
Olivia Asper and her squad are awarded the Order of Vindictus for killing the Grey Knight unit.
Sergeant Kracken and Katrin Stark are awarded the Order of Vindictus for killing the Vindicare Assassin.

As for Trollpie, I got the Chaos heads today, and I’ll show a picture of the them when I painted them!

Sgt. Kracken - Sweet I have a medal. How badly wounded was I?

Well played.

Wait a minute, do we not have a Leman Russ Commander?

Sanje Scott is the commander of the Leman Russ.

Wounded enough to be sent to the medicae. Still, heroicly as yo were, you also dragged your gunner back to base.
