Baal Pred

I win deployment roll and take lower right hand corner.

He wins roll for first and deploys his jumpers toeing the line with the Pred in the middle. I deploy on the line in box formation, zombies creating a meat wall on the front and sides, marines and typhus in the middle along with one unit of Oblits, the other Oblits are on the outside, and the spawn are front and center.

Night fight is in effect first turn.

T1BA:
He hops his assault squads up, the pods come in on the right side of my army near a unit of Oblits, and his Baal races up the middle after scouting. Between the two iron clads and pods he manages to kill one unit of Oblits and several zombies. His frag cannons rolled very well. His jumpers run.

T1DG:
My army shimmy's forward, the spawn get ready to assault the Baal. Some shooting occurs, I immobilize one dread, glance a pod. The spawn assault and wreck the Baal.

T2BA:
His storm chicken flies on, coming in right next to his dreads and pods. His army moves up and preps for assault. The dread shoots and kills a few more zombies. The chicken shoots at a unit of oblits as does his drop pods they kill one and wound one.Be assaults the spawn with a jump unit, a unit of zombies with the other, and the dread assaults the last unit of zombies. My guys eat wounds and do little to nothing in turn.

T2DG:
Both Bale Turkeys come on and vector srtike his storm chicken with great success, it wrecks and kills 8 death company, but the dread survives. All unengaged units shimmy forward, typhus and a unit of plague marines prep join combat against some assualt marines. Some minor shooting takes place, the Oblits blow up the death co dread. Typhus and co assault, typhus slaughters a sarge in a challenge, we few wounds on each side in all combats otherwise. Rather uneventful.

T3BA:
His reclusiarch and death co dude prep to charge middle combat. The last pod drops in and the five man hops out ready to burn some stuff. Pods and flamers shoot to no effect. Reclusiarch and co join major mosh pit combat in the middle, typhus slaughters reclusiarch in challenge, some wounds on each side in all combats, otherwise stuck.

T3DG:
The turkeys fly off the board. I move my unengaged plague marines to assault the five man, the Oblits shimmy. Some shooting, nothing to mention. I lose a plague marine to over watch as they assault the five man, plague wins and they run off. Typhus challenges and his Sanguinary priest declines, hiding behind a stone or something. He's loses a bunch of marines, at this point I still have zombies on the board tying up a dread and in center combat. The spawn are just eating wounds from the other assault group and finally die off. His center combat group runs away after failing leadership.

T4BA:
His dudes regroup and prep for assault again. No shooting to recall, the pods shot but accomplished nothing. He assaults, the remainder of the five man joins the dread combat against the zombies and his assault squads rejoin the typhus combat. Typhus slaughters the Sanguinary priest in challenge, the zombies finally die off, the dread keeps punting zombies, that's about it.

T4DG:
Turkeys come back on, vector strike and glance two pods. A full unit of Oblits preps to join center combat, other plague marines prep to join dread combat. Oblit shoots and blows the gun of a pod. Oblits and marines assault, typhus challenges other sarge and slaughters him in cc, Oblits punch a unit of assault marines to death, the plagues use a melta bomb and blow the fist off the dread, all zombies are dead now.

T5BA:
He preps the remainder of the five man to assault the line Oblit. Pods shoot, nothing happens. Assaults see typhus killing off the last death co dude, and the rest of the marines getting beat down. Oblit punches a dude to death, last dude runs.

T5DG:
I hover turkey and burn a dude to death. . .at this point the game is basically over

Death Guard slaughter BA

Thoughts on the game:
I made several errors throughout the game and forgot several other things, like my icons and defensive grenades. . Lolz. I should have deployed my Oblits wrong, they should have been deployed within the meat shield. The power of the frag cannons surprised me, I didn't plan for it. I kninda feel like I need another 20-30 zombies. While the dice gods werent the best for me this game, many important rolls happened at the right times. If I hadn't downed that storm chicken, the game would have been very different.
