Gearing up for the move, but I wouldn't want to leave you all hanging, so here's a brand new Glacial Geek Battle Report! https://youtu.be/X-wNVZ7ezrE This time my Dark Angels take on the Adeptus Mechanicus! The mysterious piece of technology had resisted all scans up until this point. No one knew quite what it was capable of doing. The one general consensus was that it should remain dormant. So when a rogue element of the Adeptus Mechanicus threatened to power up the device, an emergency call was made for anyone able to stop them. The Dark Angels recieved that call and made their way to the planet. The possible fate of the entire galaxy at stake. Will the Unforgiven be able to stop the Ad Mech forces from powering up the device, or will the followers of the Omnissiah help the technology realize its potential? Watch and find out!

Awesome game! It looked like you were going to run away with it at first, but then your opponent's dice finally got in the game and it ended up coming down to that last roll of the dice. Those Tech-priest Dominuses (Dominii?) just don't know how to die! Crazy durable.

One thing I've found with Deathwing Knights is that they are terribly unreliable if they deep strike. I've had a lot more luck with them in a Land Raider Crusader, particularly backed up by a Deathwing Ancient for that sweet +1 attack bonus. I realize that this wasn't a competitive game, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

Looking forward to more awesome battle reports, and good luck with the move!

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/1/23, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~15000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Adeptus Custodes: ~1900 | Imperial Knights: ~2000 | Sisters of Battle: ~3500 | Leagues of Votann: ~1200 | Tyranids: ~2600 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000

Great game and was very exciting to watch. Really close there at the end.

Bow down to Guilliman for he is our new God Emperor!

Martel - "Custodes are terrible in 8th. Good luck with them. They take all the problems of marines and multiply them."

"Lol, classic martel. 'I know it was strong enough to podium in the biggest tournament in the world but I refuse to acknowledge space marines are good because I can't win with them and it can't possibly be ME'."

DakkaDakka is really the place where you need anti-tank guns to kill basic dudes, because anything less isn't durable enough.

Thank you! :-D ... Yeah this one was a blast to play! Dice can change so quick that you never really know until the end what is going to happen :-D

@ZergSmasher - Yeah, I totally agree about the Knights. I usually deploy them in a Land Raider with an Interrogator-Chaplain in Termie Armor with them :-D
