    Ians Arbitor General Ld tested and decided to set up first and go first...? meh...!

    this is the setup
    1st marker - first floor of building in the middle of the board


    2nd marker - in the open on the centarl left-hand side of the board


    3rd marker - first floor of intact building in Arbite deployment


    4th marker - first floor of the ruined building in Chaos deployment


    Deployment --- Objective Markers held : Chaos- 0 --- : Arbites- 1









    I tried to seize the inititive but rolled a 5 and failed!... so close!!!

    -------------


    ---Turn1---

    Arbites moved out and fired their limited anti-tank at the dreads... one dread shaken

    Chaos rhinos all roll out across the field to claim objectives...
    PM melta fails to damage Repressor.
    Rhino bolters kill one of the Cyber-mastiffs
    both CC dreads move out and then run forward 3" and 1" (we question this because one was shaken... but he's not shooting, he's running)

    end of turn 1 --- Objective Markers held : Chaos- 1 --- : Arbites- 1



    -------------


    ---Turn2---

    Arbites Marched forward
    Plasma gun Arbites open the top of the repressor and fire out, blowing a arm off the farside Dread.
    more arbitor grenader and missile fire see's both dreads stunned...

    Chaos 2units of reserves arrive terminators and a squad of Lesser Daemons.
    terminators scatter 1 terminator in the squad dies to teleporting into the building...
    a Chaos Rhino tries a tank shock and kills a death or glory Missile Launcher arbite... "i am the laaaawww..." haaha
    another Chaos rhino attempts to ram the repressor in the side but didn't get up enough speed!
    Two Plague marine squads fire at the Repressor but fail to penetrate... thing is built like a brick! (it's a chimera!)
    Terminators kill 1 arbite from a patrol squad...

    end of turn 2 --- Objective Markers held : Chaos- 3 --- : Arbites- 1

    ---Turn3---

    Arbites Marksman misses?

    Arbites go to town and unload a gak load of fire power on the terminators, killing 2.
    a Arbitor General's plasma pistol back fire and cause one wound...


    the other Arbitor Lieutenant charges in and finnishes the Terminators off! they only manage to kill 1 retinue guy in return.


    bolter fire kills 4 Lesser deamons...
    Cyber-mastiffs 'stim inject' and go (barking!)mad with D6 attacks each and attack the Remaining Lesser Daemons.
    this wipes the Lesser daemons out although they do kill one dog in return.

    The remaining 2 squads of Lesser Deamons arrive from the warp.
    Rhinos move to block LOS to one squad of daemons...

    Chaos Plague marines in the center fire thier melta at the repressor again and again fail to damage it!

    Dreadnought comes under fire again, but is unscathed.
    a Arbitor Combat Squad charge the dread, attacking with krak grenades, and manage to imobilise it.
    the dread is outraged! he kills 2. the arbites pass their moral and are trapped in combat.



    The Daemon prince gets bored and decides run across the open...
    Lesser Daemons squads move onto the objectives
    Dread kills two more from the Arbitor Combat Squad with help from Plague Marines.

    nearby Plague Marines charge the Arbitor Patrol Squad killing 2 and watch the rest of the arbites flee...

    -------------


    ---Turn5---

    3 Arbite squads unload everything into the 7man Plague marine squad, but power armour and nurgles blessing means that only 3 died.
    while another imperial Plasma gun backfires killing the arbite firing it.
    Arbites Marksman finally hits something, he just needed a bigger target and his special ammo takes two wounds off the Daemon Prince.

    Arbitor General sees his chance, assults and kills the Prince.

    Chaos Dread Finnishes off the Arbitor Combat Squad. and being imobilised is pretty much out of the battle...
    moving and running to the bottom of the arbite held building, Plague marines Contest the 3rd objective marker.

    i love the report and both the armies. I like to see games the change hands from turn 5 to 7. Makes it more intense, and more warhammer 40k!

    Fantastic batrep! I like the turn by turn update. Pics are well done and you guys have some nice armies. Cool to see the arbite models, they are pretty damn nice looking even now (only problem is the single pose). Thanks for a fun read.

    Great report Panic, love the pics. Both your armies are cool, though admittedly I was stunned to see an all Arbites force in action. Rocking job whoever you are with the Arbites, solid counts as choices too.

    On your list Panic, no extra armor on the dreads? I don't leave home without, those big smashies need to keep moving!
