I played my first Zone Mortalis game and it was a blast (although we only got to round 4 before closing).

I was attacker and the Iron Hands player was defender. Luckily, I was rolling a good amount of psychers or I wouldn't of been able to blow the doors open. I had warpblast on my swarmlord and my zoanthropes, and my infiltrated genestealers and lictors caused quite a bit of havoc.

I ended up taking out his terminators that deep striked right next to a waiting pack of genies and broodlord. They had thunderhammers, and I was able to knock 3 out in the first turn of close combat, leaving only 2. 5 Terminators lost and 2 genestealers lost. The real champions were my broodlords, both equipped with Adrenal Glands and Toxin Sacs.

My swarmlord also had his first game today. He did mighty fine contributing to my warpcharge pool, and he was rolling with Catalyst, Psychic Scream, and Warpblast. I had a mastery level of 7 on the field, allowing me to cast the Horror and warp blast the doors open.

Over all, ZONE MORTALIS is a fun game. I've never played a close combat scenario like that, and my style of play which is heavy in infiltrators and psykers paid off.

As for my opponent, as I understand eh is fairly new at the game, but he had a very unique army. He was playing Iron Hands with a siege breaker formation or something, allowing most his guys to run the field with storm shields. Those saves were nasty, and I was worried, but it seemed that close combat 'Nids wrecks even the savviest of foes.

Although we didn't know who won (as it ended round 4), I'm sure my swarm pouring in would of taken the cake. In one of the pictures you can see the genestealers and lictors about to hit is big squad, and they later did, knocking it down to 2 guys in the first round of CC before we had to pack up.
