Went to my local gaming club on Sunday and my mate Luke who I usually play at his house popped round too. We both took our bugs and we played against Ed & Craig who brought Chaos Space Marines and Imperial Guard.


We had a lot of terrain on the table so be assembled them to look like streets sort of with a downed space ship from the Macragge set as the centre piece, a bit of black hawk down if you will. To make things simple we went pitched battle deployment and to make use of all the buildings we decided the team which captures the most buildings wins! Best thing of all was that ALL units can capture due to the large amount of buildings on the table.


Me & Luke won the roll off and decided to go second to see how the Chaos & Guard setup. We would whether the first storm of fire power and then send the bugs marching in. Now because it was a large battle and I cannot remember I'll just make notes for each picture.




This is the deployment. The Valkyrie and Vendetta used scout move to turbo boost; both are carrying melta veterans.











In the first turn my Gargoyles and Termagants had taken a pounding with each unit only having 3 left. The melta vets in the gunships had bailed out and shot at my Trygon and the other players Hive Tyrant. Luckily my Trygon only took one wound and the Guard foolish assaulted it; which it then slaughtered them and cut them down in sweeping advance. The Tyrant didn't do too well and lost 2 wounds and ended up tied in combat with the Guard.









On turn 2 the tables turned as the bulk of our armies were in reserve which included 3 unit sof outflanking genestealers, a winged tyrant, a carnifex in a pod, 2 units of 2 zoanthropes in pods and a unit of termagants. Only 2 out of 3 stelaer units came in, the flying tyrant, 1 unit of 'thropes and the gants. The zoanthropes dropped in and blasted a executioner tank but only stunned it - at least it couldn't fire. The gants walked in from our board edge and claimed a building as a objective. The stealers marched in on the guard side and ripped around a chimera which hadn't moved and attacked a manticore and leman russ, the russ suffered only crew stunned too thanks to a zoanthrope on foot. A trygon also assaulted a large platoon of guard with a commissar and started to chop them down.





The genestealers started to move towards the chaos gunline by sweeping from the left towards the right while my trygon and tyrants spearheaded the frontal attack on the guard and chaos gunline with the termagants left behind to secure objectives.





By turn 4 we was ending the game. Both trygons got killed 1 was by mass gunfire and the other by hidden power weapons in the large platoon. The stealers were doing better but got blasted by a battle cannon shell from a defiler. In our last turn we moved everything possible onto objectives. We had 6 objectives claimed and contested 5 while the chaos and guard held just 1 objective and contested the 5 in total. Not bad game.
