Hey all, so here i am writing up this battle report for you. Mainly because i`m bored.
It is spearhead anihilation.
The lists

Ultramarines
HQ-Libarian-(upgrade to let him use 2 powers canot remember the name) Gate of infinity and avenger.
-Captin Cato Sicarius.
Troops-Tactical squad Alpha-10 men, flamer and rocket.
-Scout squad-5 men, rocket and the rest snipers.
Fast attack-none
Elites-Terminator assualt squad-5 TH/SS
Heavy support-Land raider Godhammer pattern.

I was playing a very weak list to help ease a new player into the game. It was his 5 game or somthing.

His list.
As far as i can remember.
2 baal preds both with havy bolters one with flamestorm one with assualt cannon. Mephiston. 5 man deat company (2 power weapons, 2 thunder hammers and a power fist on the sargent.) Death company dread and a stormraven gunship. I thik there was a 5 man comabt tac marines as well.

He set up first and put every thing as far forward as possible with the flamestorn baal pred on the left , the other on the right. The stormraven with DC dread and squad inside was placed center with mephistion and the tac squad in a line behind.

I deployed with the terminators, sicarius and libarian in the land raider forward, scouts in a ruin and tac squad ready to run up a hill into cover.

Scout turn.
The two baal preds moved 18" towards me right in my lines.

1st Blood angels turn.
The flamestorm pred moves into flamer range of my scouts while the other dosnt move. Mephiston passes wing of sanguinus and moves 12" and the tac squad move and run (5") forward. The storm raven turboboost forward.
The flamestorm cannon roasts all 5 of my scouts giving him a kill point. The other shoots with all 3 of its guns but only a rending assualt cannon manages to kill a marine. The Stormraven fires its multimelta at the land raider and rolls a 2 for hit so he rerolls it (its twinlinked) another 2, this seems to be its luck for the rest of the game.

Ultramarine first turn.
The land raider lets out its cargo and turns to bear its weapons on the assualt cannon pred.
The twin linked lascannons of the raider both hit but both fail to penatrate the fron armour of the pred. The marine rocket launcher fails to his the predator. Sicarius plasma pistol imobilises the pred as they are facing its side armour. He and his squad charge the pred scoring 3 hits (hitting on 6`s darn moving more than 6"!) And penatrate wih all three, it is hit my a 1,4,5 on the damage chart.

Blood angels second turn. The tac squad plod some more. Both the Deat company and the dread drop from the storm raven while mephistion wings are failed to be blocked by the pyshic hood. The death company rage towards the tac squad (and wipe them out) while the dread moves towards the terminators. Again the multi melta rolls 2 twos in a row for its multimelta but the las cannon glances and shakes the land raider. The dread dosent shoot... But charges the terminators, mephiston charges sicarius. He strikes first and fails at getting str 10 !Pyshic hood FTW!) but get prefered enemy. He wounds with ever sing attack and i fail every single invunrable. The dread fails to kill anything and the TH kill it with 7 pens! Libarian deals 1 wound to mephiston but when i try to forceweapon him he nulls it (damn!)

Ultramarine second turn.
No movement, and the landraider kills the pred! Mephiston fails boh his required pysic tests but still manages to kill a terminator, they then return to bring him down to 2 wounds. Libarian deals another wound and then force weapons him... (simply bad timing) and consolidate 1" towards the DC.

Blood angels third turn.
Again the tacs plod some more. DC rage towards the terminators. The stormraven finally scoreds a hit on the LR, imobilising it, then gets angry and fires 4 bloodstrike missiles, doing nothing... Then the lascannon pops it, Stunning it. DC charge, and wipe out 3 terminators... SS really fail. The remaining terminator strikes back killing 2 and the libarian, using avenger, kills the rest.

Ultramarine third turn.
I gate the librain and the terminators next to the tac squad scoring a direct hit, thanks to the fact they are in a nice line, avenger kills 4, the charge kills the rest. The landraider immobilises the stormraven.

He finishes the game because all he has is a storm raven facing the other way to my last 2 guys.

So i win but counting kill points Marines 6-4 Blood angels.

I really enjoyed this game, came close to the wire at the end but wqas very very fun!

Hope you enjoyed it.

WOW my longest ever post, sorry there are no pics of any side.

Thanks for the report, looks like a fun game.

Can you charge after gating?

Oh bummer forgot about that, thanks. Dont supose it would of made much difference, only on turn 3.

Actually, since you place the Librarian and his friends just like after deep-striking, they probably can't assault after gating.

Nice report, though! Pictures would have been helpful.

As i said, writing the report was a spur of the moment thing. Thanks for the nice words and all though.

Your very lucky memphiston failed a load of his tests and that you had a force weapon and he failed to hood your weapon (you can do that right?)

Cool battle report

Thanks for the report. It looked like a pretty good game.

Yes you can hood force weapons, and he failed, miserably.

Next time tell your opponent to divide Mephiston's attacks between two units of enemies (of course provided Mep is in base to base contact with both of the units).
This way Mep is at his best because he can ID a character with a couple of S10 attacks and cause some casualties in the other unit with the rest of his might.

Nice report thanks for posting it.
