HERE IS A BATTLE REPORT
Between your two favorite posters that are also brothers!
Master Slow Poke and myself, White Out Mouse!

The armies!
MSP brought his recently purchased blood angels that he is just starting to convert into Lamenters! (his list was not perfect but he wanted to field sumtin to learn with)

I brought my Daemons! rawr

2000pts each! Normally we play at 1850 since that is the normal RTT level here in Tampa Florida, but things are moving up to 2k and Green Blow Fly is going to host it. Not sure what that will be like...

(Image Note: Click on them to open larger images in a new page! I took the time to link them all for you!)

Table and terrain setup!
Normal 6x4, all terrain could be packed into one table quarter (MSP and I read that somewhere and use that as rule of thumb for amount of terrain)
And no, that river does not count, our LGS owner made these tables when he first opened and did not know much about Warhammer.


Rolled on the rulebook tables for mission and deployment.
Objectives game! (with 3 objectives!)
The blue/silver glass bead things were the objective markers this game cuz MSP was too lazy to paint his from the Oath tread challenge...


I, the Daemons, got to go first!

Deployment!
Since I am a Daemon player I finished my deployment quickly and told MSP it was his turn



These are his devastator squads. Since this army is 1000 miles from being completed I got a lot of "if the marine has X then it means Y..." :suicide: (though MSP is actually quite good at doing intuitive proxies that don't slow down the game)



DAEMON TURN ONE!
I roll for preferred/gakky deployment and get the gakky one (if you don't know wtf I'm saying basically daemons deepstrike half their army in T1 and rest goes into normal reserves. But I have to split into the army in preferred and not preferred halfs, I deploy the preferred on a 3+)

So, for me that meant my 2 units of plague bearers (converted from VC ghouls with green stuff and choppas) all my Tzeentch DPs and Heralds came in. (Normally I leave shooty stuff for later)

To continue the good start I got 3 deepstrike mishaps!
The image on left shows the Herald and Plague bearers that got placed by MSP, on the right the plague bearers that decided to sit this game out and got destroyed inside some half assed painted packaging terrain



The others (all 3 DPs and the other herald) landed right up against those Lamenting babies!



Shooting!
The Plague bearers ran to try to block off that attack bike (not much else they could do...)



The Dps and the herald shoot at whats in front of them and do little damage (note the wound on the attack bike is a dice in the passenger seat)



LAMENTER TURN ONE
On the more interesting side of the table the Lamenters are boxing in the DPs and using the bikes to bubble wrap the scoring assault squads.


On the boring side the sanguinary guard and other troops jump over the plague bearers and prepare to shoot/assault the feth out'a someone!


LAMENTER SHOOTING!
Lots of shots on the interesting part. Metla, twin linked bike bolters, Blood lances... speaking of which check this bs out. What a shot.


Aftermath! (red dice =#of wounds taken) Fo-winged Prince died (didnt take flying) and small damage on others.


LAMENTER ASSAULT!
The sanguinary guard's power swords tear up the FNP guys and the assault squad sneezed on the herald and it died.


The other herald managed to save enough gak to stick around!


DAEMON TURN TWO!
Nothing came in on reserve! Except one 5 man unit of horrors (with bolt. S8 ap1) (it started out as one of "those" games)


I moved stuff!
The Frog-Prince would eventually assault that bike squad (couldn't even shoot it since the casualty would inevitably be the closest bike and I was barely in 6"


The Bird-Prince(probably just a black blob to you. He will be painted by the end of October I bet you :v had no where to go really


DAEMON SHOOTING!
Horrors ran for cover (3+ if they go to ground still >4+inv) so they could hide near the objective (at this point in time I only had 2 scoring units left, these guys and the blue horrors stuck in my reserves.)


The Black-Bird prince shot a biker, TASTE IT BYOTCH!


DAEMON ASSAULT!
The Bird prince assaulted the bike squad he shot, won and consolidated and the frog prince killed the bikers but without combat tactics the one lamenter biker stuck in! (can see those two at the top of image) And the Herald that was stuck in died.


LAMENTER TURN TWO!
The assault squads circle the bird prince and ready their bolt pistols/melta guns. The two librarians move into their own unit (not to get tied into the insuring combat I suppose)


The rest of the board looked like this. Sanguinary guard and assault squad moved down field, attack bike turbo boosted.


LAMENTER SHOOTING!
No pictures, but they do a good job at killing the bird prince outright.

the assault phase was just my frog prince eating the last biker that was stubborn enough to stay around. He consolidated a mighty one inch!


DAEMON TURN THREE!
WOOOOOH stuff comes in! 2 packs of 6 Fiends of Slaanesh and the last horror unit! (that leaves one more unit of fiends, flesh hounds of khonre and Skarbrand)


The frog prince moves over the the devastators since MSP did a nice job of staying the feth away from him otherwise.



DAEMON SHOOTING!
The fiends run a little bit to get into position.


DAEMON ASSAULT!
Frog prince continues to be a badass and assaults the devastators


he kills everything but one model once again and once again the guy wants to stick around for an epic battle!


LAMENTERS TURN THREE!
MSP moves everything down toward the fiends to set up the shooting phase.


LAMENTERS SHOOTING!
He opens up on the fiends, they take some considerable damage (every guy he kills takes away 5 attacks form my side :v


LAMENTERS ASSAULT
PILE IN!!!!!


Aftermath, , but got a little hurt. (was able to put 2 rends on same guy a few times thx to allocation)

^^^you might notice the blue glass thing next to his unit, that is not the objective, it marked his only unit that got red thirst (though in hindsight it was a bad idea to make it look like an objective for pictures :haw: )

DAEMONS TURN FOUR!!
The rest comes in!!


DAEMON SHOOTING!
Oh yeah! Taste Skarbrand's breath! (it is breath of chaos or wind of chaos, something of chaos that wounds on a 4+ no armor saves *also glances vehicles on a 4+)


The fiends/dogs/horrors all run and get into a bubble wrap formation in preparation of his shooting phase.


The frog prince shot a bolt at the predator, got immobilized (yay auto hits on assault phase)


this is where images start to be less frequent since the LGS is closing soon and things are rushed. But I will give the gist.

DAEMONS ASSAULT!
the frog prince hits the predator, weapon destroyed x2 and stunned. Took off the auttocannon and the heavy bolter on the left side of the predator.


LAMENTERS TURN FOUR
MSP moves up with his troops to make a bubble wrap of his own (front 3 are one unit, then a unit of 4 and a unit of 5 behind them)

LAMENTERS SHOOTING
opens up on the bubble wrapped guys, and only gets a singe missile hit against skarbrand.


LAMENTERS ASSAULT!
He charges Skarbrand, grand battle! Just enough wounds to send him back into the warp, but at what cost!
<--before-=-after-->

hu? oh right the Frog prince was still in base contact with the predator and finished it off



DAEMON TURN FIVE!
After a few minuets deciding how the game might go I move my hounds around the bubble wrap unit to assault the 5 man squad that has the librarian. The fiends move to the side to get the squad that was moving behind the terrain piece.


DAEMON SHOOTING!
The 3 man bubble wrap team got shot up by the pink horrors and failed their test and retreated. The survivors from the skarbrand battle got treated to a bolt from the frog prince :frog: and the blue horrors

^^^ once again, the blue one is not an objective (denoted red thirst, silver one is an objective)

The dogs/fiends fleeted toward their targets


DAEMON ASSAULT!
Dogs and Fiends found their bitches.


After math! The dog's combat was a pussy fest, 0-1 wounds on each side, pushed to next turn. Fiends were stuck in with their foes.

^^^some of those wounds were just not visible in the last shot, they were from T4 Lamenter shooting

LAMENTERS TURN FIVE
Just about nothing interesting happened till assault phase.

The former bubble wrap continued to fall back cuz they were too close to the flesh hounds.
The only not entangled unit moved to the pink horrors, wiff shooting (went to ground) Then they assaulted them. The dogs loose combat and get wiped. And the fiends finish their combat with a victory.


Games goes on...

DAEMON TURN SIX
Fiends move up to save the scoring horrors! And the DP/blue horrors move then run to the objective to try to contest in case the game ended (that way I would have the one obj with the pink horrors and he would have zero)


Fiends kill all the marines and save the pink horrors.

Game continues to turn seven...

Too bad the LGS asked us to pack it in like 5 mins ago. MSP calls the game a victory for me, the Daemons since the last turn would have been the Librarian and thew two others cowering on the objective until my DP/blue horrors stand on it with them.

TL-DR White Out Mouse(daemons) defeats Master Slow Poke(blood angels) on turn 7!

Oh dear god this post took forever to make!

Nice Batrep! Your frog DP looks sweet.

Off topic where do you play I'm in Tampa and want to play an organised tournament.
