Subject: Ad Mech Vs Dark Angels - 8th Edition Warhammer 40K Batrep
It's approximately a billion degrees here in Savannah, so what better way to spend the day than indoors watching a brand new Glacial Geek Battle Report? https://youtu.be/JAqWdNXYfMk This time my Dark Angels take on the Adeptus Mechanicus! Archeotech from the Heresy is prized by many, especially those of the Adeptus Mechanicus. So when word of a Hersy Era battle barge popping out of the warp and breaking up over an Imperial planet reached Belisarious Cawl, he immediately responded to gather what he could. When word reached the Rock that it was a Dark Angels Heresy Era Battle Barge, they responded just as quickly themselves. Will the forces of Mars be able to gather the technology and information being strewn across the planet, or will the Unforgiven be able to get there first and keep any secrets they find to themselves? Watch and find out!

That was a pretty crazy game! Lots of zany action that very much lightens the grimdark mood of 40k! Yet another stereo doomfart from one of your plasma characters, too. That AdMech army was really cool looking, too; kind of a glacier theme or something (very appropriate for Alaska!).
One thing I will say: you kept referring to Cawl's Mechadendrites as a swarm of bees. Dendrites are actually the branches of nerve cells; or the delicate branches of crystal formations. In Cawl's case, it was his tentacles, I think. No bees here.
Looking forward to seeing some battle reports from Savannah! Did your gaming buddies in Anchorage throw you a going-away party or anything?
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

Really great report - interesting to see some Primaris in action.
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'."

This game was a ton of fun to play! ... We called them bees because it's way funnier to imagine opening his robes and a swarm of bees coming out as opposed to tentacles ... That could get weird ;-)
