Game 2

Well after coming back from literally losing over two thirds of my models on the first turn to a crushing victory I was somewhat surprised to be matched against this list.

Ultra Marines.

Master w Admantine Mantle, Bionics, Master Crafted power weapon, Terminator Armor,


5 Vets with las/plas and tank hunters

2 Squads of 10 Tac marines with vet sarge and power fist, (special or heavy weapons!)

2 scout squads of 6 with termie honors, close combat weapons, vet with a power weapon

1 scout squad of 10 with termie honors, close combat weapons, vet with a power weapon.

1 land speeder with melta and flamer

1 bike squadron of 3 with multimeltas

7 man dev squad with 3HBs

1 whirlwind.


This list did not seem to be much of a threat. I lacked heavy weapons and frankly I did no think it would pose much threat.

During deployment my opponent spread out across the board and right up against his deployment line. I deployed in a denied flank on his right.

I won first turn again and took it.

one fex destroyed his whirl wind, because there was not enough cover for him to hide it from all of them. The rest of my fire went into marines, killing about 5 in total. his bikes and speeder where too far away from my left flank to warrant fex attention.

Well I won’t bore you with the fine details. Essentially I ran at him and because he had deployed so wide only about ½ of his units and none of his heavy bolters or heavy flamer could fire on me. I lost only 2-3 stealers. The next round my wave hit his his flank and chewed through him. Highlights included the fact that he managed to kill my rant with his master and a P fist sarge and at one point got a round of fire into a full stealer squad with his devs killing them all. But in the end It was not close and I killed him to a man. He managed to do enough damage in return to keep me down to my second crushing victory.
