Thank you, commander. I am honoured that you would return to that cathedral to grab the heads of those traitors I killed. Of course, I would have done it myself, but I was too busy beating Samuel in a drinking game while roasting dozens of Xenos before sleeping with all yo mommas at once. I have a packed schedule.

I shall pretend as if I haven't read the last bit...
Now if you wait 10 minutes, you can see how you look.

And here he is!




Although the painting doesn't show all of your glory.

German Flames of War guy, from a set that I don't know.

I look EPIC. Thank you lon-sorry, Thank you Vordon. It is an honour. *bows regally*

His name is Vordon, get it right.

Crap, I was reading his 222nd name-I mean, I was remembering a soldier of similair appearence in the Catachan regiment we fought alongside.

It's a shame that thread was-sorry, I mean it's a shame that those rogue inquisitors called in exterminatus on our dear friends. A true shame.

I hear some of the Catachans managed to escape into the jungle before the Inquistion could get them. I've sent out a patrol to look for them, so far nothing, but I'm sure we'll find them, those Catachans are tough buggers, it would take more than rogue Inquisitors to stop them!

They survived a barrage of Cyclonic Torpedos? I respect those poor bastards now more than ever.

A true shame indeed...

I agree, those can have some pretty messed up warheads in them.

Updated the regimental log.

As for our Stormtrooping friends:

Three Stormtroopers.

Laertes O'kar. Armed with the usual equipment and carries more stuff around.

Samuel Linius, leader of the bunch.
(If you want me to convert him, just say the word...)

I thought you promoted Taveth to Lt.

Those look freaking awesome! Is it the paint you use that makes ten seem shiney or is it the primer?

500 points, Battlereports against Grey Knights.
Just a small 500 point game, I used this list:
CCS: 67
Standard, boltgun

Stormtroopers: 105
Melta x 2

PCS: 32
boltgun

IS: 55
Flamer

IS: 55
flamer

IS: 55
flamer

AC squad: 75

Rough Riders: 55

A grand total of 499 points.
I know I shouldn’t use Stormtroopers in this point level, but I just painted them and I really wanted to show them to the others…

My opponent finally send his list.
Inquisitor: 78
conversion beamer, power armour

Henchmen warband: 67

Inquisitorial chimera: 55

Grey knight strike squad: 250
psycannon, halberd, justicar halbard, deamonhammer, falchions

Razorback: 50
psybolt ammunition

We played the capture and control mission, as usually with a lot of terrain.
There is no fluff, since there were no survivors.

I keep the stormtroopers in reserve, my opponent deploys everything.
The objectives are in green.
I got the first turn and the field looked like this:


1st turn:
I try to spread out as much as possible. I fire at his Rhino, but fail to hit it. I want to try to sneak with one troopschoice towards his objective. I am holding one now and I might get his one too. I give Incoming to the infantry squad in cover. This means that they will have a 2+ coversave.


My opponent spreads out, opens fire on my Rough Riders, but fails to wound them and kills 7 Guardsmen in an infantry squad.


2nd turn:
I spread out a lot more, running from cover to cover and I manage to shake my opponents Rhino.


My opponent drives his Rhino forward, but it immobilizes and thus my opponent disembarks. Then he fires with his entire army at my Rough Riders. Just 4 die and the lone sergeant survives it.


3rd turn:
The Stormtroopers arrive! But, they don’t hit anything! Nothing hits the five grey knights!
I still sneak around with the platoon command squad and I move forward with an infantry squad.
Then an infantry squad charges the Chimera and because of the grenades, I can stun it. Then the lone Rough Rider charges the Grey Knights and kills 2 of them. Then the Grey Knights kill the lone Rough Rider.


My opponent disembarks his Psyker squad and fires at the infantry squad, killing one soldier. Then they charge me and I kill one of the psykers. The three Grey Knights that survived the assault from the Rough Rider attack one of my infantry squads and cause it to flee, the three remaining Grey knights consolidate. The Stormtroopers get shot by all the grey knights hiding in the buildings. Just one remains and he flees. Two Heavy weapon teams die from the conversion beamer.


On my 4th turn I regroup an infantry squad and charge the psyker squad with the platoon command squad. The lone stormtrooper still retreats.


My opponent kills my AC team and two from my company command. In close combat I kill one more psyker. The chimera and a grey knight team move forward.


5th turn:
I move around a bit and kill one Psyker in close combat.


In my opponents turn, he moves his chimera forward and kills the last fleeing stormtrooper. My Company commander gets attacked in close combat and his two veterans are killed.
In the other combat, I kill one more psyker in close combat and win the combat. I run down the psykers and I consolidate towards cover.


6th turn:
I run towards the objective in an All or nothing attack. I try sticking a frag grenades into a Rhino with frag grenades, but I fail. With another infantry squad I fail to stick grenades on the Chimera.
The Grey Knights kill my company commander in Close combat and consolidate.


I lose close combat with my last infantry squad and the rest of my army is killed. I’m wiped out… My opponent wins the game.


Still a good game, too bad that the Stormtroopers failed to do anything, if they killed one or more Grey knights then I could have probably won this game.
Still I enjoyed this game a lot and remember: It’s not a loss if you had a good game. I think I could have pulled a draw out of this if I assaulted the grey knights in close combat with my company commander with the remaining three soldiers from an infantry squad.
I shouldn't have assaulted the Chimera, but atleast it was funny to try it.

Confirmed kills:
Demitrix Nulstovsky killed 2 psykers
Reiser Frips killed one psyker
Marba killed 1 psyker
Cheslav Ivanovich Vasilii killed 2 psykers
Faticus Morebosis killed a warrior acolyte and a psyker
Irana Bonterre killed a psyker

Olivia Asper killed two grey knights singlehandedly.


Medals:
Demitrix Nulstovsky is awarded the Master’s cross for giving the right orders.
Demitrix Nulstovsky, Reiser Frips, Marba, Cheslav Ivanovich Vasilii, Faticus Morebosis and
Irana Bonterre are awarded the Order of Vindictus for wiping out a unit off psykers.

Olivia Asper is awarded the Excelar Victorix for killing two grey knights in one game and doing the same in the next game.

Yes. Finally my meltagun sees some action. Two more kills to me! However, I must wonder why we were killing Grey Knights?

Good battle anyways. Nothing's as fun as killing, even if you don't quite kill enough.

The inquisition marked the area for death, the higher ups for the IG was moving in for action because of horrible communication between the two, each did their jobs and the fallen are remembered on each side, all each had to say about the ordeal is that it never happened.

Anyone else think of a good reason why we would fight th honored grey knights?

There are no reasons why someone should fight against the Grey knight, while they are still loyalists, so we shall just call them our opponent in the regimental log.

If anyone does have a good reason to fight against them with us being the loyalists, don't hesitate to post it!

The grey knights are so secret, that not one normal man may know about their existance...
So I don't think they take training exercises with normal Imperial Guards.

ow we only think they were normal marines

Commisar Wolfie wrote:ow we only think they were normal marines

Good enough reason, I'll keep that one in mind.

they were trying to kill the general(who was corrupted), (but we didn't know). and he orderd us to kill the heritics that were closeing(we didnt know they were grey nights).

Updated the previous battle report!
And as a last goodbye, since I'm going on holiday, I played a little game of 40k today.
Battle report is up in say 30 minutes.

Hey,

Battlereport against Necrons.
This is the same Necron player as before, now I can see if it were unlucky dice or my annoying opponent. I’ll leave the decision to you…

I used this list:

CCS: 65
Standard

Stormtroopers: 105
Melta x 2

PCS: 35
Vox

IS: 60
Vox, Flamer

IS: 55
flamer

PCS: 35
Vox

IS: 60
Vox, Flamer

IS: 55
flamer

AC squad: 75

Rough Riders: 55

Leman Russ Battle Tank: 150

A total of 11 killpoints.

My opponent used a list like this:

Necron lord

10 Necrons

10 Necrons

Tomb spyder

Monolith

A total of 5 Kill points

Now before we start: My opponent plays without phase-out. Apparently he has a special house rule, that he doesn’t have to phase out… I just found this out when we started playing the game.
Secondly, as part of the campaign, I was allowed to field a hundred points more than my Necron opponent. But he had send me a message yesterday, asking if I couldn’t field those 100 extra points.
So since I thought, it’s just a game and why not.

So we rolled for mission and got Killpoints. Then we rolled for deployment: Pitched battle.
Then we rolled for deployment, my opponent wanted to go first, but changed his mind halfway during the deployment and I was allowed to deploy first.

I deployed the Leman Russ behind cover and the infantry squads in blobs.

My opponent deploys his Necrons out of sight of my Leman Russ and in cover.


In my first turn I move a bit around and fire with the Autocannons. Out of the three that were in range and had line of sight, just one could fire according to my opponent. Because you have to measure firing from the middle of the base to the middle of the base. I decided to keep the moral upper hand and I didn’t make too much of a hassle about it.


My opponent moves his Necrons forward.


In my second turn, my stormtroopers arrive and they put a wound on the Tombspyder and the scarab swarm, the rest of my army does nothing or fails to wound. The Rough Riders should assault, but the Necrons are in cover. With the cavalry rules in mind, I gladly roll the 2D6 and get snake eyes... My Rough Riders are now in the open without cover.


My opponent deepstrikes his monolith, kills a lot of troopers, wipes out my Rough Riders and destroys my Leman Russ tank. First my opponent says he will teleport a group of Necrons towards the portal, but they are outside of 18 inch. So he asks if he can fire the large blast. I shouldn’t agree with it, but hey, keeping the moral upper hand, I agree. And thus my Leman Russ tank was history. Then he assaults my Stormtroopers in close combat with the Tomb spyder. The lazy bastards get run down by the I2 monsterous creature.


In my third turn: I move my soldiers in front of the monolith to prevent him from coming any close to me. That’s the best thing I can do.


My opponent teleports towards me, since he finally is in range. The necrons fire on my blob squad and kill some soldiers. The whip thing wipes out one of my PCS’s.


In my fourth turn I assault his Necrons and I lost one soldier. The Necrons get their LD-check.


In his turn the opponent wipes out the blob squad and the opponent gets five out of the seven fallen Necrons back!


In my fifth turn I Kill the tombspyder and the scarab swarm with the Autocannon squads.

In the last turn, my opponent kills two of the Autocannon platforms with a large blast. At first he wouldn’t allow me an coversave, but when someone stepped in, he allowed me to take it. Not that it mattered, because I failed both saves.


We roll a 1 and the mission stops here.
My opponent has 4 kill points, I just have 1 and thus I lose the game.

After the game my opponent moans about how badly he takes saves and how cursed his dice are. In short: he just lost 5 necrons! 5 things while I lost half of my freaking army! He lost two scarab swarms, a Tomb spyder and two Necrons AND HE COMPLAINS HOW BADLY HE ROLLED HIS SAFES! That was very annoying to hear.

Now before I continue, let me state the following:
To me, 40k is just a game, winning or losing isn’t very important to me. Sure I’d prefer it to win rather then lose, but if both players have a good time is more important to me then winning. If it was a good and tight game, then I don’t care if I lose or win, because then we both had our fun.

When it isn’t fun, is when it’s clear that one side doesn’t have a chance to win. This is why I don’t play mechanized! Because I can make a list in such a way, that I would absolutely slaughter Necrons! I play in a friendly way, trying new things and doing things, because I like their fluff. If my opponent thinks he has a coversave, I let him have it, since that will not make the difference. If my opponent wants to shoot with something else after premeasuring, then that is fine, since we both play for fun!
Against this opponent I didn’t enjoy this game and these are the times I wonder why I play 40k and wished I power played.

Now I know that some people have an outdated codex and I’m willing to ignore little things or give the benefit of doubt. I wouldn’t mind it if my opponent atleast informed me before the game that he plays without Phase-out.

Since we are in a campaign and I recently lost a couple of games, I’m allowed to field extra points. I was wondering why I should do such a thing, those 100 points could have made a huge difference, but it isn’t really fair.
My opponent sends me a message asking me if I really wanted to use those points, since for IG it wasn’t necessary. Stupid as I am, I agreed not to use those 100 extra points.

As a final word: This is the last time I’m playing against this opponent.

I'm not you, so I can't really comment on your end of it. He however just seems... Like a looser.
