Alright ladies and gentlemen. My friends and I are doing a small 1000 point each free for all with one friend using Ultrasmurfs with guard allies, my other friend using Guard with SM allies, and me using SM.

We're not using the newest SM dex, but aside from that all of our rules are up to date.

The terrain is a ruined city with cover on about 40% of the board. The cover is mostly intact buildings, with small fields of rubble strewn around.

Also, the friend using the Guard list is very very new, so we gave him access to whatever we weren't using

Here are the army lists

UltraSmurfs

HQ:

Gimpy chaplain with plasma pistol and MC Crozius arcanum (I'm not quite sure about his equipment)

Command section with Junior Officer, Medic, and Vox operator. (the Jr. Officer has a power weapon)

Elites:

5 Terminators with 1 assault cannon

Dread w/ TW Las cannon, Dread CC weapon, heavy flamer, extra armor, smoke launchers.

Troops:

1 Platoon of Guard with the close Order Drill doctrine, and the Carapace armor special equipment

Both of the regular squads have heavy bolters, and flamers.

10 man Combat squad with veteran sarge, and a flamer. (the chaplain leads this squad)

5 man sniper scout squad with heavy bolter


Children of the Beati (my friend with the IG forces)

Note: the Children of the Beati have the Light infantry, cameoline cloaks, and sharpshooters doctrines.

HQ: Command section
Junior officer, medic, and auto cannon
Anti-tank support section w missile launchers

Elites:

7 man Sm squad with bolt pistols, CC weapons, Furious Assault, melta gun, HB, sarge w/ PW and a homing beacon ,and a rhino

5 Marines with 1 plas rifle and 1 las cannon

7 marines with 1 melta gun, frags, sarge with storm bolter, power weapon, melta bomb, (true grit)

Hvy support:

Vindicator w/ Power of the machine spirit, extra armor, dozer blades, and pintle mounted storm bolter

Fast attack:

7 assault marines with melta bombs, 2 flamers, sarge with power weapon, ( squad lead by Master)


OK.... I think that my IG friend will probably slap the both of us with his armor, advancing termies, and combat squads, all the while the IG units comfortably hide behind their 2+ saves. (maybe I should have made his army worse?)


Well, what do you think? Who will win the smack down? How could any of us make our armies better?

I love the idea, i think that you will win (the last list). it just seems more brutal and killer than the rest, although i love basi's i hope you win.

You must post the battle report

In 3-fers, it is never a question of who brought the best list, but rather who turns on whom first.

I suggest you buy the pre-game beers.

Alas, the sad, meager choices for intoxication available to minors . But I do like the idea of sabotage

But really, would it be smart to have a drunk Basilisk gunner, and a plastered vindicator driver?

Don't drink and drive, especially if your driving artillery.

And it turns out that we might have another SM player, and I have no idea what he has 'cept for 2 dreads 9which I'm not sure he's fielding)

WOW... 4 players.

I think the objectives should be kegs of Fenrisian Beer. If it can get a space marine drunk... imagine what it does to guard

Beers and big guns? Come on, that is almost an American past time. What else goes better with a tank. Maybe some whiskey.

I stand corrected sir
