Setup
Table 4x4
Misson; Take and Hold from 40k rulebook
Deployment; Spearhead

I win the dice off and chose to setup and go first.
the terrain is as follows;



i set up in my quater as instructed and infiltrate my chosen on the central terrain peice.


both armies deployed

Emperors children turn 1;
movement.
i advance with my deamon prince towards the nurgle DP and move my one noise marine squad forward in there rhino, leaving the other on the objective. the unit on the objective's rhino moves forward a little in case support is needed. the chosen move through the cover towards the DG rhino.


the rhino containing NM and chosen move in on the plague marines

Shooting; the DPS uses LOS and pulls the DPN closer
the NM on my home objective shoot all weapons at the DPN and infilict 2 wounds.
the chosen fire there meltaguna at short range on the plaguemarine rhino, penetrating on a 6 and getting a destroyed result, the insuing explosion kills 1 plaguemarine.
the supporting rhino full of noisemarines open fire on the newly visible plaguemarines and kill 1 more reducing their numbers to 6.
end of shooting


the deamon princes square up

how things fair after all shooting

Close combat
the DPS charges the DPN and inflicts no wounds in a flurry of 1's (about right for my dice rolls)
and the DPN fails to even land one hit
all in all deamon prince pillow fight.


both deamon princes apparently asleep on the job (perhaps the woundless combat is because there not actually in base to base?)


CSM turn 1
movement, DPN casts warptime sucsessfully, the plaguemarines move towards the chosen. no other movement.

shooting, angry at the chosen destroying there slimewaggon the plaguemarines fire back causing no damage. followed by a volley of shots from the black legion causing 3 wounds and killing 2 chosen :(
the obliterators open up on the rhino with 3 lascannons and luckilly for me only imobilize it. no other shooting.

Close combat, the plaguemarines charge the chosenbut strike 2nd

chosen and deathguard locked in combat

after killing all but the champion wielding a power fist the nurgle fight back killing one chosen


the deamon prince combat was abit more lively this time with the DPS causing one wound and the DPN causing 2 i then fail my fearless save and both princes are reduced to 1 wound :S.

Emperors Children turn 2.
reserves. my GD arrives popping the chosen champion and setting his sights securely on the enemy objectives and oblits held up inside.


Movement the spare Rhino moves up and parks next to the imobilised one my noisemarines then swap there broken tank for a fully functioning one. no other movement.

Taxi!

Shooting; angry at the oblits my NM on my objective let of a blastmaster shot using the template mode of fire instant killing one.
no other units able to fire and so the turn goes to combat.

assault. sadly the GD is in no position to assault and so we rejoin the deamon prince bash where finally my DPS kills the DPN and consolidates into cover with only one fragile wound left. and allas my chosen icon bearer is no match for the T5 plaguechampion and gets squashed by his PF, he then turns his focus to my GD.


CSM turn 2
reserves 7 lesser deamons arrive and create a roadblock for my GD
Movement the lone Plaguemarine advances for my GD and the CSM on his objective duck for cover after seing the GD arrive. end of move


comence opperation get behind the rotting things

shooting; the CSM shoot at my GD and cause no wounds, however the oblits empty out a salvo of twinlinked plasma guns and destroy my injured deamon prince.
with no other shooting we go to assault

Close combat; the lesser deamons and nurgle champion charge my GD, i strike simultaniously with the LD but before the nurgle champ so i take him out before he can hit me with that fist.
my plan works and the majority of the LD attaks fail to wound only causing 1 unsaved wound agains my GD.


the deamons do battle

Emperors children turn 3
No movement.
Shooting, i pop out of the top of my rhino and fire 1 sonic blaster and one blastmaster at the oblits causing no wounds.
the blastmaster on my objective fires for the obliterators and fails to hit the mark!!

no further shooting so we go to combat.
my GD manages to kill 1 LD before they all mob him and he loses 2 wounds and a further 1 when he fails his fearless save. just one left:(

CSM turn 3.
reserves And finnally the GDN arrives!
Movement the champion of the CSM squad is popped and a massive infected space hopper strolles onto the field, followed by the rest of his squad moving back into cover.


nurgle space hopper to the rescue!

shooting; and the only thing that can see a target the obliterators open up on some noisemarines and fail to get a single wound!

Back to combat and the GDN charges in to help out his LD mates and between them banish the GDS back to the warp!
the LD manage to consolidate 4 towards the rhinos but the GDN is tired and only goes 2".


consolidating from thier victory!

emperors children trun 4
movement rhino moves to the one flank of the LD and opens fire with twin linked combi bolter only managing to kill 1
in the other shooting my NM on the objective fail to hit the oblits with there blastmaster yet again!
no combat!


rhino trying to skirt around the deamons of nurgle!

CSM turn 4
the oblits repositon themselves out of line of site for the blasmaster across the board while the deamons move in on the rhino carrying noise marines
shooting; the oblits fire multi melta's at the rhino but fail to crack it open.
this is followed by the GDN and LDN charging in, Due to the rhino moving 12" the deamons need 6 to hit but fail to connect with the NM tank.


Noise marine turn 5
movement the rhino moves flatout toward the CSM objective getting within 3 inches of it and parking up nicely.
shooting the chhamp pops his head out of the top hatch and spies some black legion and lets rip with the doom siren reducing them to charred pulp!



the squad of Nm on my objective take shots at the LD with sonic blasters and blastmaster and manage only 1 kill!
no combat!

CSM turn 5
the lesser deamons of nurgle start legging it back to there objective but are just too far even with a reasonably good run roll.
whilst the GDN aproaches the NM rhino for a second try.
Shooting the oblits take another shot at the rhino with melta guns and manage to blowup the combi melta but not destroy it.
combat. and the greater deamon charges in and this time manages to get a wrecked result forcing the NM to jump out at the last second!


the scene at the CSM objective


the NM finaly get kicked out of the ride and appear to have arrived reasonably safely.

The game ends on a roll of a 1 (thanks fozz)
and is a Noisemarine win with me holding 1 objective and contesting another and the enemy holding 0 and contesting 1

any way so thats my first battle report hopefully it wasnt as terrible as i fear,

yeah i live nearby go there whenever revision lets me

Good report!

Looks like a great fight.

But, what the hell is a "fearless save"? I play CSM (NM also ), have i missed something?

Fearless save is when you loose combat but don't fall back due to being fearless, so you take the difference you lost by in armour saves.

Hope that makes sense, if not have a gander in the rulebook about the No Retreat rule! I think!

Ahh, No Retreat! That I understand.

yeah sorry ive always called them fearless saves
