Alright, will keep it in mind.

"I just got word from Major Falkenhorst, on monday we have to engage heretics and mutants. He doesn't know how large the battle will be, but we have to expect heavy resistance."

I'm either going to play a 1250 or 1500 points battle on monday.
I'll let you know which one it is, when I know more.
(I'll probably know it tomorrow...)

And since you all have been training very hard, I expect a lot of good dice rolls!

oh, good!


btw have the STs arrived yet?

No.. :(
GW must hate me... Tomorrow I'll go to the store and if they are there, I'll use them in the battle.
If they aren't, well, the Stormtroopers decided to try different clothing..

ha ha

also,
larry constantly refers to major Falkenhorst as 'falcon-horse'

lol
@ loner:

Send an email to Games Workshop. They will answer you and will send a new one, and maybe a bonus one

I had with my Land Raider that the door was broken, and they send a new one for free. They will take you serious. And well, I now have 2 Land Raiders

Good to see we are finally seeingsome action...
cleans/Oils his rifle...
and obtains some hot-shot ammunition...

lol

yeah, lets do that

Alright, today I was in my FLGS to ask if my Stormtroopers had arrived after a month! (Well, three days short from a month...)
And GW stil hasn't send them yet...
I send a polite mail asking how this could happen, let's hope they reply.

So, no stormtroopers yet...

They will reply, trust me (as far as you can trust me..)

They will reply, trust me (as far as you can trust me..)

Maybe you could add a broken bottle and a Chaos Marine's head to my base? As a reward for my work in the Cathedral...

you seem to be overlooking the part where Larry shows up with a homemade lascannon (I call it... The Thing)

So: The deployment was pitched battle and the mission was seize ground. We played on a 5’ by 5’ table instead of 4’ by 6’.

My opponent deployed first, he deployed heavily on one side and I deployed a lot on the other side. Al Ra’hem and Marbo would come from reserve. I saw that my opponent used a lot of terminators, which could be quite a problem…

The objectives are marked with the circles. (You cannot see one of the objectives because it’s behind the drinks…)

Our damn chickens got loose! Someone had released the livestock from the 197th Bataviran regiment! Quickly I gathered our brave soldiers and tried to look for them, we had to get back before diner, otherwise our cooks couldn't make a decent meal. Demitrix Nulstovsky and his platoon were further off to our right. Eventually we found our chickens and... some traitor Marines!
At the start, the table looked like this:



My opponent moved forward and ran in his turn.
Immediatly the triators charged at us. I wasn't expecting a fight, but I certainly wouldn't retreat before I had my chickens or another meal!


I move forward in my turn and with one of the Rough Riders I charge the terminators. Four Rough Riders and four terminators die.
Quickly I pointed out the biggest threat and I used our brave Bataviran scouts to attack them. These heroic deeds were truly magnificent.


My opponent keeps going forward and fires with the Rhino’s, three IG in my platoon command die.
The enemy were after our chickens aswell! Perhaps they were hungry too? Atleast they were willing to fight over them...


Al Ra’hem arrives, he and his platoon kill six space Marines, I move the blob squad forward, my CCS fires at the Rhino and blows it up. 1 Space Marine dies.
Demitrix and his platoon came quickly when they heard us fighting with the traitor marines. He wasn't afraid of the combat and fired his plasma pistol straight at a traitor. He hit the neck and killed the bastard. In my squad, Bryon Reinne fired at a Rhino tank and it exploded. One traitor marine got stuck between the door and burned with the tank.


My opponent moves some Space Marines towards an objective and the others keep pushing forward.
The cursed traitors tried to grab one of our chickens and then tried to run away with it! Such a cowardice!


I move one blob squad, Marbo arrives and kills a terminator sergeant. My CCS fires at the captain but fails to wound.
Then Marba arrived, the girl who does't have all the marbles, and threw a democharge at the traitor marine captain, however a terminator sergeant intercepted it and was blown skyhigh!


I forgot to make a photo, but my opponent moves towards one objective and kills Marbo and wipes out my platoon command.
I move one blob towards one objective and fail to kill the captain with my CCS.
The fight was almost over, we had collected almost all our chickens when the enemy made a last attempt to grab them from us, they ran straight at us...


Then we rolled a 1 and the game ended.
Our brave soldiers responded with well aimed lasgun volley and wiped them all out. After that, we gathered all our chickens and were just in time for a good dinner! I must say, that the chickens tasted delicious, I think it's because they got some extra movement before we ate them.

May the Emperor smile on you,
Captain Detlev Vordon, 197th Bataviran.

Results:
I got two objective and contest one.
My opponent has one objective and contests one.






Thoughts: A pretty good game overall, I guess I really had a lot of luck.
I only suffered 16 casualties.

Casualties:
Both Rough Rider squads were slightly wounded, but will be back in action in no time.
The Platoon command squad is alright aswell.

Confirmed kills:
All the Rough Riders in Tolstoy's squad have an elite kill, except number 4.
Frips Reiser, Demitrix Nulstovsky, Finch and an anoymous flamer each killed 1 Space Marine.
Bryon Reinne blew up a Rhino.
The blob killed one Space Marine, but it wasn't clear who killed him.
Congrats guys!

Oh good!

Of course its good, why wouldn't it be? All of are battles are good, regardless of what happens, because we are Batavirans and we kickass!

For Batavira and the Emperor!!!

I'm glad you guys like it, I updated the roster and Trollpie, are you sure that you want a Chaos head and a broken bottle?
I do have some zombie heads, if you want them.

But I killed 4 chaos marines!
While drunk!
Please?
If it's too much effort, then OK

I'll try getting some Chaos Marine heads, I hope I can swap some in the FLGS...
I'm a bit wondering about how I should do the bottle...

Greenstuff? I don't know, I'm a useless modeler

I'll see what I can do...
And I'll let you know when I have them.
(Expect around monday or something.)

Well, good luck

Permission to modify my lasgun into a sniper rifle sir (i.e. can I have the 5 pt upgrade next battle)

Also, it was me that got that chaos bugger - right between the eyes with my las and down he goes!


Also, as squad sniper, can I have a red stripe painted on my right sleeve????

Hmm... Then we have to rob some meltaboms somewhere...
And the current positions for special weapon troopers in the squads are full. Maybe we can place some in the platoon command squads.
I would certainly advice you to ask permission to lieutenant Nulstovsky, if he grants it, I'll see what I can do.

And remember, tomorrow a big battle is coming up! I want everyone to be ready for battle!

Yep, just texted Nultovski and he's cool with it.
May I have the 'blob' kill credited to me and my rifle???

HERESY! We as Batavirans don't have cellphones...
You are placed in his squad.

And the last Space Marine died after failing 5 saves. So in theory, five people could get the kill...
I'll hand out the ''unknown kills'' aswell next time. This time, you are lucky and got him.

As for today, I was planning on bringing all of you to the battle, except first platoon command squad.
(This gives me enough points to field Demitrix as Al Ra'hem.)

cool!

ahah! more opportunities to slay the Emperor's enemies with the awesome arse-kicking of the 197th Bataviran

It is indeed.
