Turn 1

We get first turn. The stormtroopers are not deployed (they’re in reserve), and the CCS is deployed in cover. The veteran squads and Vanquisher do not move, but just start shooting. The veterans take aim at the tactical squad, taking down 3 marines. The Vanquisher takes a Hull Point of the dreadnought, and stuns it. The tactical squad and sanguinary priest advance, together with the Assault Marines. Bolter fire kills 4 veterans.
[i] We were just retreating from a battle with heretics. Ofcourse, we won, but the Adeptus Astartes thought we were the heretics! There was no reasoning with them, so we had to fight. I immediately ordered the Vox Caster to send for reinforcements: Stormtroopers were on their way to us. The Leman Russ Vanquisher fires at the walking tank the Astartes brought with them, while our proud men take down three of them. However, they killed four of our men in return.


Turn 2
The Leman Russ Vanquisher takes aim at the Dreadnought again. With a loud ‘BOOM’ it explodes, and I get First Blood. The Company Command Squad takes aim at the Tactical Squad. Colonel Valkhorst kills a marine with his plasma pistol. Otto Gruno, the banner bearer, doesn’t kill anything at all. Meltagunner Scorp Halliman is not yet in range, but the sniper hits the Sanguinary Priest. He gets saved by one of the marines, who gets himself killed. The Veteran Squads both took aim too. Squad 1 took aim at the Scout Squad. The pretty face marines were surprisingly tough, and only one died. The other Veteran Squad started shooting at the Assault Squad, with success. 3 marines died!
The scouts started shooting at the Veteran Squad, killing 3. The Assault Squad moved in charge range, shooting at the same Veteran Squad as the scouts: killing an additional one. The tactical marines shot at the Company Command Squad. It wasn’t their battle, obviously, because they killed none!
The Leman Russ Vanquisher destroys the walking tank. The marines seem quite angry at its destruction, as if he was one of their own. I see the Astartes advance. I grab my plasma pistol, and blow one up. The rest of the squad follows my lead, and another marine dies. The Veterans kill one of the lighter armoured Astartes, and the rest of our men takes aim at the Astartes with Jump Packs. Only two of them remain. The lightly armoured Astartes kill 3 of our men, and the two remaining Jump Pack Astartes kill another one of us. The rest of them takes aim at us. Their training obviously wasn’t enough: they all missed!

Turn 3

The Stormtroopers arrive! They Deep Strike right behind the Tactical Squad (as I just said, it really wasn’t a good day to be a BA tactical marine!), just out of charge range. The Company Command Squad opens fire on the scouts, killing 3 of them with Plasma Pistol, Laspistol and Sniper Rifle. The remaining sergeant decides he likes to stay. Both the Veteran Squads opened fire on the Assault Marines, ‘cause close combat ain’t nice. They manage to kill them all. No fixing bayonets for the veterans. The Vanquisher shoots at the tactical squad, killing the priest.. The Tactical Squad advances, getting in charge range, and opens fire. All 5 boltguns hit, and 3 of them kill my veterans. The Captain, however, decided it would be fun to turn towards the stormtroopers. All or nothing, you could say. The remaining scout sergeant charged the Company Command Squad, but Meltagunner Scorp Halliman overwatches him dead.
With the sound of a Valkyrie and Grav Chutes, the reinforcements arrived. They deployed right behind the Astartes. We shoot at the lightly armoured Astartes, killing 3 of them. Their leader charges us, but Scorp blows him to pieces. The veterans killed the Jump Pack marines, and the Vanquisher killed another marine. The Astartes’ leader turned around, preparing to attack the reinforcements. Fix bayonets!
Turn 4
The Stormtroopers open fire on the Captain, bringing him down to his last wound. The Veteran Squad, Company Command Squad and Vanquisher take aim at the tactical squad. The poor marines are all blown up. Only the captain remains! The captain charges the Stormtroopers. No shot from overwatch hits him, and he issues a challenge. Luckily, he had a power fist while Sev ‘Slasher’ Slavas had a Power Sword. He hits, and robs the Captain from his last wound! Victoreh to the Imperial Guard!
All units opened fire on the remaining Astartes! All of them fell, save for their leader, who seems badly wounded. He charges the Stormtroopers, and manages to survive the fussilade they bring down on him. Sev punches his power sword through the Astartes leader, killing him. With all of the enemies dead, it was time to bury the dead.
