Ultramarines + Blood Angels Vs Gray Nights + Grey Knights - 1500 point game
Mission: Big guns never tire (Heavy can claim objectives even tanks there is 4 objectives)
Deployment: along the diagonal, I placed one in my far corner in behind ruins, another placed on the Skypad, another in some ruins, the last placed amongst Ageis defense barriers

I won the roll to deploy

Whirlwind goes into the very far right corner and sits on the indirectly firing on whatever it wants. Inquisitor + Grey Knights in a Razorback deploy with a tactical squad 1 on my left flank, inside them is the Autocannon Dreadnaught. On my right flank is the Missile launcher Devastator squad, the Captain and Command squad in a Razorback with a tactical squad the solitary Vindicare assassin is in the tower.



LDP and Proto set up, Death company behind the Skypad the Blood Angel assault squad start in a bastion, The Ultramarines have both tanks next to each other aiming for the closest two objectives, the scouts deploy next to them, On the far side the Ultramarine command squad loiter near the Blood Angel assault squad.
They roll and seize initiative, buggers.




LDP/Proto’s Turn 1
Death company jump forward to in front of the Skypad and shoot at the Devastators, but fail to kill and take a plasma pistol wound in return on the Reclusiarch. Blood Angel Assault squad jumps out of the tower and fail one dangerous terrain and the armor save, marine down, bugger. The Ultramarine Command squad move up towards the Vinidicare but are out of range to shoot. Ultramarine tanks move towards the ruins Objective and the scouts head over to the Ageis Objective. Death company attempt to assault the Devastator squad but fail the charge distance, they are now caught out in the open….




My Turn 1

My Command squad Razorback rolls back and the Command squad disembark. Tactical squad 2’s Rhino moves around the building to head off the Ultramarine command squad. Inquisitor Razorback shoots at the scouts, 3 hits, 3 wounds, 3 dead scouts, very successful. However this is where the shooting fell to pieces. A whirlwind, Rhino, Tactical squad 1, Dreadnaught, Devastator squad, Command squad and their Razorback all shoot at the Death company, the number of marines who died… 1.



My Vindicare shoots at Ultramarine Command squad and rips the Apothecary a new eye hole in his forehead. Tactical Squad 2’s Rhino and two of its passengers fire at Ultramarines Command squad and take 1 Marine down.

Shooting for this is a little worse for wear, however the Sternguard shoot through the ruins and take out my Sargent from Squad 1. The heavy bolter on the Razorback shoots at the Inquisitors Razorback but doesn’t do anything, the Ultramarines Tactical squad shoots at my Tactical squad 1, and no one dies saved due to misses, not wounding and armor saves (very lucky) The Death company mince the Devastators with ease, but not before their overwatch obliterate 2 Death company (yes, I got 2 sixes on Krak missiles, yes!) they consolidate closer to my Command squad.



On my right flank the assault squad explodes the Rhino and loses another Marine in the resulting explosion, I also lose 1 as well this is followed up by the Ultramarines rhino shooting at the rear of the squad and kills another of the marines. The Ultramarines Command squad shoots at the Vindicare but fail to kill due to two lucky 5+ invulnerable saves. The Blood Angel Assault squad tries to assault the cratered Tactical squad 2 and horribly fail their charge, on top of that lose another to the overwatch (should leave them 1 marine)



My Turn 2
Inquisitor Razorback moves further up and disembarks the Grey Knight squad to the edge of the ruins, the Inquisitor Razorback can’t see the scouts so pot shots at the Ultramarines Razorback but does nothing.
The Tactical squad 1 and their Rhino move right, so too does the Dreadnaught. My Command squad, rather than be assaulted decided to assault first, the Command squad Razorback drives up. On the right flank, the ruins Tactical squad 2 moves out of the wreckage and to within an inch of the Blood Angel assault marine. Shooting is ok in this round, the whirlwind deviates a bit still hitting 3 marines and takes 1 down, the Tactical squad, Rhino and Dreadnaught all unleash on the Ultramarines Tactical squad and take it all down to 5 members. The Grey Knight Squad opens fire on the Sternguard and only manages to kill 2 of them.





The Ruins Tactical squad 2 assault the lone Blood Angel assault marine and take him down and consolidate closer to the Skypad. The Vinidicare shoots at the Death company and fails to wound (yes I rolled a 1) My Command squad then charge in and lose 2 marines, the Death company lose none, bugger.

My command squads Razorback moves around the building and shoots at the Ultramarines Command squad and kills one. Tactical squad 2 moves up to the Skypad and runs to the objective and hunkers down. The Vindicare shoots, misses on a 1, rerolls for having a ballistic skill over 6 and misses the second roll, he needs to go back for more training I think.





LDP/Proto’s Turn 4
Ultramarines Command squad shoots at the Vindicare and finally takes him down. The Ultramarines Rhino tries to ram the Command squad Razorback but ends up doing a strength 2 hit so nothing eventuates. The Ultramarines Captain charges the Grey Knight squad and issues a challenge to the Inquisitor, who accepts, then get pummeled losing 2 wounds and only taking 1 off of the Captain, he passes his morale and doesn’t die, The Ultramarines Razorback fires at the Tactical squad 2 and takes one down. The Death company rip the last remaining wound from my captain and consolidate towards the Agies defense cover.






My turn 4
The Inquisitor and Ultramarines captain trade blows but ends in a stale mate after I managed to save 2 wounds and couldn’t wound him back, my Tactical squad 1 in front of the razor back decide to open up on the newly free Death company, along with the Inquisitor Razorback, Rhino and Dreadnaught taking them down to 2 marines, hard buggers.
