2000 points, or roughly there about. Old codices, playing the Relic mission.


Turn 1 was pretty tame with me getting initiative and taking out his Wolf Scouts who were camped in the church tower. He responded by zapping a HP off a Speeder and popping a RG Razorback.

Here we are bottom of turn 2. Wolves just moved.

Here he just shot up my RG dread with his swiftclaw bikers, plasma hurts...

My turn 4. Shot up some Terminators and got into some combat.

Here I just leapt into combat with some Long Fangs.

... And no gak, I just squished all three remaining Fangs with HOW. There is the unlucky dice roll.

After consolidation. And the end of my turn.

Wolf turn 3. He shoots some Terminators too and charges my RG. I issue a challenge against his Wolf priest...

... And he manages to strip a wound thanks to team re-rolls.

Carry over from last turn, his Blood Claws try to finish off the Scouts and succeed.

That lone Biker carrying the Relic falls at the end of the turn to a determined TAC Squad.

Beginning of Turn 4. My go.

I take a chance and the RG direct their plasma cannons at the Blood Claws. Two good hits and 16 wounds are caused. A few rolls later and this...

The bottom of the fourth and the Space Wolves are looking pretty beat. My Chaplain and Captain manage to wipe his Terminators out save for his Warlord. His second Wolf Priest dies to my RG Captain.

He hasn't got much to move or shoot so he picks off my Rhino with his own rifle dread.

And with that last act of defiance the Space Wolves retreat at the top of turn 5.

Here is the battlefield at the end of the match. As you can see turn 4 was the decisive turn. I managed to score big hits with my plasma Devs and I got into a good combat against his Terminators with my own TDA vets, the Chaplain and Wolf Priest had a duel but it was anti climactic, no one was injured. I challenged with my Chaplain so that my power axe weilding captain could force invul saves on his Wolf Guard termies. He had decided to give them all power swords hoping to slaughter lighter targets, but I scooted that chance away in my trusty Rhino. He did manage to put down a few of my termies with massed fire but it wasn't enough and I got the lucky charge in. That combat could have gone differently though but the odds were in my favour. Now if he had 10 of them against my 5? Maybe not... Those assault cannons do hurt though. The Blood Claws had Lukas with them and so I was keen to thin them out and was lucky enough to not have to face him in melee.

I guess that's all I can really say about the game deciding turn. I got lucky with my Devastators and got the Terminators into combat when they really needed to be. If my IH captain had been forced to endure another round of Wolf Guard assault cannon abuse I doubt he'd have made it.

The game all star trophy goes to the RG plasma Devs who took out a few Terminators and scored big on the Blood Claws stealing the Wolves only chance at victory.

Anyways, there ya go!

Great terrain setup
