Now that I'm no longer in the army and E is off shooting up models in Kuwait, I feel kinda silly posting (it's been two years). But I'm glad E is doing well and back in the habit.

I'm eager to see how things develop out there. I'll be keeping track.

Alright takers we are still here don't worry. We are just in the middle of some hardcore training ; so we can kill and win wars for real. As soon as we finish this training we are going to go hard in the paint. People have been ordering and the armies are growing already. Me marcove and corrales played a game tonight.It wasnt documented because it was a spur of the moment game. But it was a relic game and it wound up being a tie between me and corrales. 2 victory point a piece.

Here is a quick overview/breakdown for those of you who care to read. I played 2 vet squads an company HQ unit and a vandetta and marcove played a demon prince a devestator squad a predator and a 5 man tactical squad corrales played two land speeders a devestator squad and 2 five man tacitcal squad and one ruin Priest. Marcove too the brunt of the attacks in the beginning I immobolized his predator turn one. He occupied.the area around the relic but did not take the relic. Corrales eventually killed the CSMs and moved to take the relic. I was kinda forced to sit back for most of the game and defend myself.by turn 4 we were all running pretty thin on Modelsbut I killed both the enemy warlord for two victory pints corrales drew first blood and killed my warlord for 2 victory point. On the last turn with marcove gone and corrales in control of the relic he was looking good for the win. BUT the deadly motivated guardsmen were in hot pursuit.corrales. had his last remaining scoring space wolf tucked under the ruiend highway overpass and he looked to be safe.with my very last move of the game I was able to move 2 out of my 4 remaining within line of site rapid fire range.4 shot killed the lastremaining marine. With n
oone in control of the relic we had to refer to victory points. So it ended a tie. But I'm proud of my guardsmen for not letting the hieratic take the emperors relic. TIE 2 TO 2.....


WE WILL BE BACK SOON. STAY TUNED .. AND POST SOME PICS FOR US TO SEE OF YOUR BATTLES AND MODELS.. L8ER. "E"

END OF TRANSMISSION... . . . . .

You forgot to add when you jumped for joy you fell through the floorboards.

ATTENTION !!

Tonight we have a 1000 point game between space wolves and IG! "E" vs. "Corrales." We will have a battle report up later.

There has been alot of building going on lately. That is where most of our free time has gone. We havnt had a chance to play much, to training exercises and our slow mail system. Everyone`s models are stedily coming in and soon we will all be bulit up and ready to roll. SPC. Wells has most of his models in and built he is just waiting for troop squads. My current list looks like this. One company command squad, one platoon command squad, three troops squads to valkyries and a demolisher leman russ with interchangable guns. I am currently waiting on two more troop squads, a three peices heavy weapons set, and multiple leadership pieces. I bought the last chances to mix in with my troops and give my army some flavor. I have started painting them and they are turning out better than I thought. Here are some pics.

The start of one of my vandettas.

Reames`s marine!

Red Dawn!

Just noticed this thread and I must say that this is some great stuff!
Myself being in a finnish army, I do believe that the military can indeed be a boring place once in a while, so awesome for you guys to have a great hobby to pass time with.
In here it's a bit different, we are training all the time and get home for almost every weekend, so I only have few days in a month to keep the projects going. But wargaming surely cheers this life up.

Thank you for sharing this story, and keep up the good work!

So we've had two battles in the past couple days. 1000 pts SW for Corrales against 1000 pts IG for Erickson. And a 2v2 which consisted of 1250 points of Necrons/CSM belonging to myself (Marcove) and Sgt Gilley against 1250 points of IG/SM belonging to Erickson and Reames.

Hopefully they will be posted soon!

spc wells here. late as is, Im the one in our circle who's doing them. the first game was between spc corrales and spc erickson, for a 1000 pt annihalation match.

the space wolves managed to snag the initiative, therefore corrales set up his army first

erickson sets up his imperial guard to snuff some space marines out.

with that, the game scenario is dawn of war. my "amazing" Battle reporting skills are being put to the test...

Space Wolf turn 1:
Movement: the land speeders cruise forward 18".
the SW drop a pod by the bunker at the corner of the table, and release a squad of snarling, bloodthirsty space marines right off the bat. ( not only can space wolves drop a pod on turn 1, they cannot scatter off the board. Squad released is designated #3.)
meanwhile, Squad #1 moves up 6", and Squad #2 moves into cover.
the space wolf devastators stay put, getting ready to unleash hell from the upper story of the building.

Space Wolf Shooting phase 1
the devastators open up on the guardsmen (IG squad 1), and manage to kill 2 of them.
meanwhile, the fustrated marines that just stepped out of the drop pod found that they were unable to get in line of sight of the hapless Imperial guard squad in the bunker, and out of range to shoot at IG squad 1.
the runepriest however, had different ideas. he used a phychic power( living lightning) to fry IG squad 1, killing 3 of them and forcing them to take a morale check. they fail it, and quite simply run away off the board. 1st blood to the space wolves.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
IG movement phase 1
squad 2 moves 6" up the hill.
IG shooting phase 1
the IG open fire on the space marines by the bunker, but fail to shoot past the cover.
meanwhile, the command squad runs 3".

Turn 2
SW movement 2
the space wolves roll for reserves, and drop yet another pod, directly in front of the imperial guardsmens firing line. the drop pod releases squad #4.
landspeeder #2 moves up to the bunker 12", while land speeder #1 moves onto the bridge.
Squad #1 moves up 6" , further past the wrecked freeway, while squad#2 moves out of the cover of the building by 6".
SW shooting 2
Landspeeder #2 shoots at the bunker with its melta, but fails to do anything substantial to it.
Landspeeder #1 takes aim at the Leman Russ, and it flat out misses. ( ironic, yes?)
the devastators once again take up arms, and shoot at the tank. the lascannon fails to hurt it.
the squad that just arrived takes aim at the earstwhile IG commander, CAPTAIN PLANET! he takes 1 wound, but remains standing.
the runepriest once again thinks hard, and hits the squad by the tank, inflicting 2 casualties.
Squad 1 runs 2" (needs more pt), and squad 3 runs 1".(needs pt).

IG movement 2
the vendetta moves in from reserves, and doesnt scatter at all.
Captain PLANET! moves closer to the tank.
the bunker squad moves closer to the windows to take shots at frivolous space marines.
squad 2 recieves orders.
IG shooting phase 2
the command squad attempts to bring down the speeder closest to them, and fails to do so. then, the vendetta takes shots at said landspeeder, and fails to hit it.( Accursed JINK!)
squad 2 shoots at sw squad 4, and manages to kill 1.
then, the leman russ templates 4 SM to death, and fires up the main gun. (punisher cannon) 20 shots later, the last spacemarine is reduced to holey deadness.

TURN 3
SW movement 3
Speeder 1 moves up behind the tank, trying to take advantage of 10 rear armor.
speeder 2 moves behind the bunker, to better cover.
squad 1 moves up 6", and squad 2 does the same.
Shooting 3
Speeder 2 shoots the bunker again with its melta, only this time the pesky skimmer destroys it. 4 IG die in the name of the emperor as the building collapses on them. the rest of the squad escapes the carnage.
Speeder1 takes a shot at the tank, and manages to glance it, while erickson sadly subtracts a hull point.
back at the other end of the table, the runepriest thinks far too hard about killing puny humans, and suffers a perils of the warp wound.
above him, the all but one of the devastators take aim at the punisher tank, yet miss completely.
one man in squad 2 attempts to shoot his plasma gun at the vendetta, but instead it blows up in his face, while also missing the vendetta. luckily, his handy dandy 3+ armor save rescues his space wolf butt.
the devastators that didnt shoot fire at the remains of the bunker squad, killing 2. The IG squad take a morale check but pass. squad 1 shoots at the squad by the tank, as well as the drop pod itself. they both miss.

IG movement 3
the squad by the tank moves onto the hill fully.
the lemann russ moves six inches.
the vendetta moves 6", drops a turret.
the bunker squad jumps into the waiting vendetta.
CAPTAIN PLANET! moves up to the landspeeder that has been polluting the atmosphere, with the intent to destroy the wretched thing.
IG SHOOTING 3
the vendetta finally puts an end to Landspeeder #2, by blowing it up. the ensueing explosion hits and kills 2 space marines from squad 3.
meanwhile, the tank nukes SW squad 1, leaving two plasma scorched bodies of Russes finest. with that, its dangerous punisher cannon of 20 dice death fires up again, along with the sponson lascannon. a couple marines survive...
then, CAPTAIN PLANET! and the squad on the hill, with no weapons strong enough to penetrate landspeeder armor, assault it with grenades.(frag) magically, the landspeeder takes a glancing hit.

TURN 4
SW MOVEMENT 4
Squad 3 moves around the corner of the bunker.
squad 2 moves into cover
landspeeder 1 moves behind the tank again.
SW SHOOTING 4
Squad 3 shoots at the vendetta, but miss.
the last landspeeder splodes the tank.
the devastator squad opens up on the hard-to-hit vendetta, not only destroying it, but blowing it to smithereens. some how, survivors stumble out of the wreckage...
meanwhile, the runepriest lightnings CAPTAIN PLANET!'s squad, killing 1 unfortunate man.
the remaining sw squads open fire on the two survivors of the vendetta explosion, and kill them both with wolfish grins on they're faces.

IG movement, shooting, assault
with no other options available, E has to make a hard choice.
CAPTAIN PLANET! moves with his squad to once again assault the landspeeder.
with only some luck on his side, the defender of nature tosses a grenade into the cockpit. it explodes moments later, to the detriment of 1 unfortunate squadmember, who was cooked alive in the blast.

TURN 5: THE BACONING
with only two men left in the squad, captain planet surveyed the carnage. dead humans and space marines lay everywhere on in the ash choked battlefield. tank and vehicle parts littered this once beautiful monotonous landscape. even through tear blurred eyes, the green haired commander saw the desperation on his mens faces. a part of him wanted to tell them to run, yet this planet could use some fertilizer. he continued to watch as three space marine squads crept forward. readying his weapon, the defender of nature waited for them to make a move. Then, he smelled ozone, and tried to move out of the way.out of nowwhere, a streak of lighting lashed out at the him and his squad. unable to dodge in time, the poor men polluted the atmosphere with smoke coming off their blackened, crispy bodies. out of breath and out of time, Captain Planet only saw the space marine in the distance heft a large, atmosphere frying lasercannon, before the world went mercifully black and pollution free...
meanwhile, space wolves everywhere dance on his burned, lazzed body!
SPACE WOLVES 8 VPS
IMPERIAL GUARD 3 VPS
SPACE WOLVES WIN

so this was the first battle report I have ever done by myself.while time consuming and tedious, I did have fun reliving that game, remembering all the whacky stuff that happened.
in hind sight, I dont think corrales could have played that game any better. with 1000 pts towards his army, he was able to play 4 squads of space marines, with terminator leadership. thats pretty awesome. I was also suprised at how long his landspeeders survived. I guess flyers and skimmers got a huge boost in 6th edition.

on ericksons part, I think he did the best that he could with only 1000 pts to work with. he also mentioned that giving his squads melta bombs would have been a huge help. personally, his best piece in that battle had to be the leman russ. if he had made it an executioner instead of a punisher, I think he would have been nuking space marines left and right with it. from what I remember playing against him back in the rear, this was not the set up he perfected or was used to. with a little time and some better planning, I think erickson could be very dangerous with IG; I believe that his normal combination of plasma volleys, artillery and lascannon shots would pose too many threats to deal with.

In the meantime, I've got eldar on the way. due to mailing constraints and random luck, I have everything I need to play my army with the exception of two troop squads. heres what Im rocking thus far:
1 falcon w/ bright lance and pulse laser
1 fire prism
1 wave serpent with twin linked bright lance
1 farseer w/ spear, guide and mindwar powers
4 dark reapers w/ crack shot and exarch
3 wraithguard w/ 1 warlock attached to the squad.

hopefully, I will get these soon, to round out my army at 1500 points:
1 falcon with starcannons and bright lance
1 wave serpent
5 rangers
10 guardians with a d-cannon heavy weapon and bright lances.
5 fire dragons
should be gravy....

btw, Im also going to post another battle, a team battle between necrons, SM, IG, and chaos
featuring corperal Marcove, SGT Gilly, SPC Erickson and SPC Reames. stay tuned!

Corrales played a dam near near perfect game I cant Hate on him. But since that game numerous games have been played. AND WE HAVE RECRUITED MORE PEOPLE! SPC. Quinn has chosen chaos demons as his army and from what I have read in the codex they are pretty amazing. Good Job on the batrep wells . Our tiny living space has been packed with guys modeling and gaming. We are also putting together a map campaign in which the top two armies will receive $100 dollar gift certificates. One from forgeworld one from GW. The #1army gets first choice. I never thought gaming while deployed would blow up like it has.we will be posting more pictures as models get painted and games get played. So stay tuned. And we will continue to throw the fluff your way..
