Movers are currently packing up all my worldly possessions (not my models though, I need those ;-) ) so what better time than now for a brand new Glacial Geek Battle Report?! https://youtu.be/jO9doQUwd9o This time my Dark Angels take on the Imperial Paladins (running Imperial Fist Tactical Doctrines)! The distress call came in to the Imperial Paladins' headquarters. Their flyer had been shot down with the information they had collected on the mysterious Traitor Astartes they had recently captured. A recovery force was sent to gather back the information since the Inquisition seemed oddly interested in it. They arrived on the scene and began searching for the dataslates when they encountered a Dark Angels force. They hailed them on the Vox to coordinate their efforts. The only response they got was a curt demand for them to leave. Well, that was just not going to happen ... Will the Imperial Paladins recover their information or will the Unforgiven retrieve it "for them" instead? Watch and find out!

Turned out to be a better game than it looked after that first turn for sure! That turn made me think of the first turn of a tournament game I played the other day, where an armored Astra Militarum list deprived me of several of my lascannons. I held that one to a tie with just 2 models left, and they were both wounded. So it sometimes really does come down to playing the mission and never saying die. Your opponent's army was pretty nice looking! You've got some great painting talent living up there in Anchorage. Here's hoping there's plenty where you're moving to!

Yeah! This game turned into a nail biter! ... That's really why I never give up on these games because until it is physically impossible to win, you really never know! My record started to get better once I started playing to the objectives and learning to ignore my opponent's juicy targets from time to time to ensure I got my points :-)
