Enjoying this series so far. Its good to see you have a wide collection to choose from. Makes every battle different. Shame your opponents cant paint their armies tho! Yours looks great! Thanks for posting

Thanks much, Alex, is a busy kid just out school, he has a pretty big painted collection and is working through the last of his unpainted stuff. I think I maybe matched up against Dark Eldar this Saturday. It should be another close one.

In all fairness most of my armies are painted by multiple people myself, people in my play group and even paintedfigs.com. I met Navin one year at Adepticon and he pays his painters more than Doctors make and they do a good job.

Good report and the planetary empires tying everything together is awesome. I did see two rules mistakes I believe, please correct me if I'm wrong, you moved 12" after embarking the assault marines. I thought you were limited to 6". The other is I'm not sure fleeing units count for line breaker.

Looking forward to the next battle report!

Yes fleeing units can't get line breaker. I think I tossed up an annotation after I realized it.

We actually looked up how far a vehicle can move because that exact question came up during the game.

We found the answer in the second to last sentence of page 78. It says they move as normal if they had not moved before the unit embarks.

Those assault marines made good time across the board that is for sure.

Jump marines can't embark in land raiders, can they?

The only vehicle that I see a restriction on is rhinos can't carry models in terminator armour. So assuming it was a land raider crusader, it has a capacity of 16 models, meaning it can carry 8 "bulky" assault marines.

Also I checked and you are right, the only restrictions on vehicle movement are for disembarking or if they moved before the unit embarked.

Great rep 4Plus!!

We try to play with painted only figs , Heretic...but so many models to paint...so little time.

Next week im going to challenge The D.A. player to a game with my Chaos Daemons...should be a good match!!
