http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/17.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net SW vs CSM. Now I'm hoping in the future to go with videos and pictures for next time. So please do leave some feed back here since this is my first time doing this and I'd just like to share this with you all. Also this was brought to you thanks to DakkaDakka, and Comic Book Heaven at the White Plains mall(For those of you who play in NY ^^)

Space Wolves: I fieled Logan Grimnar(As I tend to do a lot/have yet to change from) along with 3 full squads of Grey hunters, 2 having 2 Melta guns, 1 with two Plasma Guns, all with Mark of the Wolfen and a Wolf Standard. I was also fielding a Wolf Priest(Needed the points) with Saga of the Warrior born and he was also in Runic Armour. Two Five Man Missile Long Fangs,TWC(3) with all SS and two PF. My Rhino, Wolf Scouts(5) all snipers, Wolf Guard(5) in termi armour with an assault cannon, 4 storm bolters, a wolf claw,PF,Frost Blade, Thunder Hammer and chain fist. Lastly I also fielded the newest addition and now proud member of the family...Vindi the Vindicator.

Chaos Space Marines: My Opponent fielded an army of Slaanesh CSM. Chaos Lord on a bike with Lightening claw, Feel No pain, INV, along with what I could only describe was some manner of mini Bale Flamer. A sorcerer whom was also on a bike. A bike squad with the mark of Slaanesh, two Obliterators squads with plasmas(Twin Linked I believe) and Twin Linked Las. Two Rhinos carrying normal marines. Three Noise Marines with all the trimmings. Now last but not least the scary flyer itself...The Hell Drake.

Deployment: Dawn of War
Mission: Big Guns Never Tire
Warlord Traits: I rolled on the Command and got a 4. So units within 12" of my Warlord got another D6 when making run moves, take the highest. His Warlord Trait was he could make 1st turn Night Fight if it wasn't already going on.
Night Fighting: There was none until he used his trait to make it so.
Who got First turn? I did, he did not seize it. Also He got to choose where to deploy so we stuck it with where we were each respectively standing.

1st Turn:
Space Wolves Turn: Now first turn was AWESOME to say the least! Shuffling up my guys, Logan who was leading his wolf Guard(wish I had Arjac :( ) moved up the middle, Wolf priest leading the Grey hunters of his right, another group of Grey Hunters rolling up on the left side of the old wolf. Long Fangs camping up the objectives(Which we got a 6 on the dice roll so 1 in the middle, two on my side and two on his), TWC moving up on the far right flank, Vindi sitting close to the front line next to the long fangs on my left, and scouts sitting up close to left side of them as well. Now roughly all our units were mirroring each other more or less in terms of positions. Which helped out when my long Fangs and Vindicator and snipers unleashed hell onto his right side(left for me) guys, taking away 4 Noise Marines right out the gate. Other side I was only able to fire 2 missiles but they missed horribly(Snake eyes). Rhino moved flat out onto the middle of the board, declared that for the game My Wolf Priest granted his unit Preferred Enemy Infantry. Logan made his unit fearless thanks to his High King Special rule. But that summed up my turn in a nut shell.

Chaos Space Marines Turn: Now he saw how close my guys were moving so he decided to meet them head on, just the way I LIKE IT! His bikes zoom across the board! Obliterators moving up as well until they were only a few inches from my Rhino(bad move on my part ). One of his 3 Rhinos(I hope I wrote that before) moved up to the other side of the large plateau that was in the middle. Obliterators blew up my rhino, taking out three of my guys in the process. Already off to a bad start >< Following up however he fired off those noise cannons on my TWC, Chewy(Name of the chainsword Thunder Wolf) sadly had his ears explode along with his head TWC needed a moral test after that. The group of Grey Hunters in the Rhino that blew up suffered another two casualties from the bikes which they failed moral and ran back. On the left side of the board the Noise Marines unleashed their attacks which reduced a 10 Man Squad of Grey Hunters down to 2 guys who also broke away and ran. My TWC also failed mora but didn't fall back too far thanks to two 1s. So first turn is already looking kinda bad for the puppies! But eh it's all fun and good so really no big. Besides only first turn, still a bunch more to go!

2nd Turn: This is where things get SUPER AWESOME!

Space Wolves Half: So thanks to ATSKNF the TWC and GH packs regrouped and wer back in the game! Now I didn't have any reserves so I didn't need to roll(not a fan of them to be honest). so I just moved on to declaring Logan's group being Fearless once more and went on to my movement! So the Wolf Priest's pack moved up into charge range of the obliterators, TWC moved up to charge range of his far right(left for him) squad of Noise Marines, ignoring the Rhino they passed by which I should have taken out instead eh live and learn! Logan's group moved up onto the plateau with the intent to charge the occupants of the soon to be destroyed Chaos Rhino. Which I moved Vindi back to give them all their shots/give them LOS. The two Grey Hunters packs who were reduced to 3 and 2 shuffled over to one another to hide(They needed a moment to rememeber their fallen brothers ). Now for the shooting phase I fired four Krak missles into the rhino that Logan's group was close to, blew it up, guys inside suffered three casualties but remained in the fight. Vindi fired another pie plate at the same Noise Marines she fired on last turn but they made their cover saves sadly. Logan's group fired their assault cannon and two storm bolters into the crew of the newly destroyed Rhino and killed another two guys before charging. Now I actually lose my thunder hammer to Overwatch! it was crazy i mean he got a lot of sixes and I managed to roll that 1! I'm bad at rolling >< But the Termis still made the charge, and I was the first to challenge his unit and he had to accept, thank you chaos I love you for being so dang manly! Other side the Wolf Priest's team charged the obliterators and that combat started up nicely. And the TWC made their charge perfectly. Now at the start I activated the Wolf Standard for the Wolf Priest's squad so a lot of what they had been doing was thanks to those re rolls of 1s. One obliterator suffered a wound from my Wolfen(5 A thanks to the charge and me rolling a 3+1 for his attacks) getting a rend. The others did their attacks but he made his armour. I won combat but things are fearless so nothing else happened except pile in. in the TWC combat I lost a Thunderwolf to numbers, the other TWC however managing to kill two which tied combat so lucky break there! Noise Marines are very scary I have to say! As for Logan's team as said I challenged the Sargent, all my guys going at INT 1 since we charged through terrain. Didn't lost my Frost Blade and my Wolf Claw(Got two 1s! Dice gods did not like me this turn >< )but the power fist and chain fist mopped up, cleared out most of them just as Logan butchered his Sargent. They failed moral and went off running while Logan's group moved on over to the objective with their D6 consolidation. So all together my second turn went pretty awesome with the close combat. But now for his turn...things got crazier.

Chaos Space Marines Half: Now right away his bikes roamed across the field, us remembering the one squad of grey hunters he had reduced to 3 guys needed to take some soul blaze which ended not doing that much since I made my saves. Hell Drake came in and vector striked Logan's team. His other team of Obliterators moved up closer to the middle. His one remaining Rhino moved up close to my long Fangs on the right. Shooting phase he fired onto Logan's group, thankfully I made my saves so they were okay, though they were soul blazed which we placed a marker down to remind us. The Hell Drake did what it does best, burned away my Long Fangs on the left side and I lost that objective. The Wolf Scouts who had been wipped their roll on my turn were blasted away with the Noise Marine's weapons. So already it wasn't looking good this turn. The Obliterators tried to make a charge but only got 4" so they weren't close enough. Now entering into the assault phase we took to the TWC combat which ended quickly as he swarmed my only reaming TWC with numbers, me failing the 3+ badly. Back with the Wolf Priest's squad that was managing to hang in there, Wolfen getting another wound onto the Obliterator while I lost another two guys. Loving that fearless from the Wolf Priest. Crazy dice rolls all around.

3rd Turn:

Space Wolf Half: Now right out the gate I moved Vindi over a bit, but ended up being out of range for her cannon sadly :( should have moved her up in hindsight. Didn't move my Long Fangs like an idiot but instead took krak missiles to the Rhino that was parked next to them. Blew it up, more or less signed their lives away after that since the squad inside could charge them on their turn now. Logan's group moved up closer to the bikes with the intent to charge them. The two groups of Grey Hunters that survived by hiding out shuffled around a bit, again in hindsight I should have moved them over to the Long Fangs to help them but eh what's done is done. But they did manage to do a glancing hit on the rear of the Hell Drake! Which made my day! As for charges Logan's group managed to make theirs so they ran into the bikes, Logan challenging which he accepted with his sorcerer. Oh which reminds who had been rolling for psychic powers all game, needing the re rolls since this turn he got 2 6s twice for two powers! But he took the familiar which allowed him to re roll. But onto combat! Logan destroyed the sorcerer no problem, lost my chainfist assault cannon which left the power fist all by himself now. Powerfist managing to fail on his attacks so I lost combat but thanks to all the stuff Logan has like Stubborn and his saga that'd allow me to reroll failed moral I made it and they stayed in combat.

Chaos Space marines Half: But on his turn the one group that Logan's team had beaten eventually regrouped and moved on over to the right side of the board. Obliterators moving to the middle objective, Hell Drake Vectoring Vindi before flying off the board. Vindi getting destroyed sadly </3. Long Fangs got wiped out by the marines that had survived the Rhino explosion. The group of Noise Marines that took out my TWC moved closer to join in the combat of my Wolf Priest, joining in no problem. Logan challenging again in his combat, getting into combat with a sargent this time, slowly chopping his way until he got to fight his warlord. Logan again wiping out his character, my PF sadly rolling horribly for his save which lead to him dying. Logan vs a whole bunch of bikes now. As for the Wolf Priest combat Wolfen failed to wound this time around but his team made up for it with pure numbers! Wolf Priest having challenged the Noise Marine character to a battle which...ended rather quickly since the Wolf Priest made his 2+ and roared in with his attacks and the guy failing his saves.

4th Turn: From here on out it gets pretty short and sweet.

Space Wolves Half: Seeing as how most of my units/only surviving units were in close combat all there was left was me shuffling the two surviving Grey Hunters around. Logan finally managing to fight his Warlord at long last! Now I did a quick head count to see if he was going to get a cheer squad but he only had 3 bikes left. 3 out of seven or so. Now this was some intense combat to say the least! Both guys unleashing hell onto one another, Logan sending five PF attacks(since he gets to mix Frost Blade attacks with PF thanks to his axe. Grasping with both hands for the PF and just swinging 1 handedly with the Frost Blade ones. GO LOGAN!). He made his INV and which ever ones he failed he had a FNP to save him on top of all else. Sure he took a wound but thanks to his bike well..who needs EW? Now he did his attacks back(going first obviously) but I made all my saves, gotta love that 2+. So they stayed locked in combat since he was fearless. As for the Wolf Priest's combat with their sargent dead you'd think this should be easy now right? WRONG! First off he did his attacks which I made the saves for but failed one which lead to the Wolfen finally going down! So here I was with 3 Grey Hunters and my Wolf Priest vs his eight Noise Marines. But my guys were fearless thanks to the Wolf Priest so no running away.

Chaos Space Marines: Again at this point on this'll be short and sweet since there really isn't much going on. Hell Drake flew back in, vector struck the 3 man Grey Hunter team, wiped them out, then used the Daemon Forge to burn away the last two over it suffered another wound. Obliterators held the middle objective, the sound marines on the far left were still holding theirs as they had been, the rhino crew that killed my Long Fangs were now holding one of my objectives. The one group that logan's team had beaten up were now off to hold the objective the Noise Marines that killed my TWC were holding. Now onto combat! Logan finally beat his warlord after activating Living Legend and suffering a wound. So now it was Logan vs 3 Bikes. Seems fair to me! Wolf Priests group....Okay I'm not going to lie to you guys nothing happened there. 3+ saves made all around. No special weapons, just space marines swinging at each other.

5th Turn:

Space Wolves Half: COMBAT!!!!!!! Yep that is pretty much what filled up this entire turn. Logan beat the bikes, they ran off, he moved up 4" towards the Wolf Priest combat. Wolf Priest Combat....NEXT TURN! Okay it's the same as before 3+ saves made all around, nothing new.

Chaos Space Marine Half: He unleashed EVERYTHING onto Logan! Bolter fire, templates, LAS AND PLAS! Logan got dropped down to 1 wound after all was said and done! He got lucky with his 4+ INV. Obliterators tried to charge...failed the charge. As for Combat....What about combat? 3+ saves all around yet again.

6th Turn: We rolled to see if the game continues and by sheer luck of the dice it did.

Space Wolf Half: Logan joined combat. End of Movement, Shooting and Charging. For combat Logan actually swung all around and killed two guys before suffering THE GODLY WRATH OF MATH! Made my two 2+ saves but then he rememebred he got 4 wounds so I needed to roll two more. Which gave me snake eyes so down went Logan because we remembered how many wounds he actually did. Now I won, but he was fearless so nothing new there. We were back to normal pretty much. But we rolled to see if the game went on to turn 7 and it did not.

Conclusion/Game End Results: That is the end to an amazingly fun match! if I hadn't made the mistakes I did I probably could have done better. if I didn't fail/make those bad rolls when I did I'd have done better. But this isn't really relevent because we both had fun, lots of things died! And it was just awesome all around. I love the Vindicator. it's really awesome. Also I LOVE the Wolf Priest. I had tried runs with the Rune Priest to see how I liked him...Eh he's cool and I see why people like him...but I think Running Logan and Wolf Priest flows much better and smoother with me. I'm a fluff player, I'll admit to that now. Not to mention i'm one who loves CC. Sitting back and shooting is boring to me. So far I've been shot up in my matches with the exception of my very first match which was against Nids. This was my 6th match and so far I see where I'm doing better and where I need more improvements on. But hey leave your thoughts below those who read this. Could do a discussion, tips etc. But that is all for this bat rep. I am Wolf Lord Kevin....Happy Wargaming bros!>]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548381/5985068.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548381/5985068.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548381/5990591.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548381/5990591.page GMT again this was just the first attempt at it >< I'll try and put pics if not an entire vid next time >< But thanks for the feedback! ^^]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548381/5991457.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548381/5991457.page GMT

Turn 2

Movement:

Mephiston casted wings of sanguinious and moved 12" forward towards the nearest unit of chaos marines. Razorback Baal's out moved 6" forward and slightly to the right, attempting to gain cover from the enemy oblitirators and to allow it to see the enemy rhino containing plague marines.

Shooting

Mephiston fired a plasma pistol at the chaos marines and it got hot. He made his armor save. Baal's out fired on the plague marine rhino, missing, then hitting due to twin linked. The rhino becomes immobilized.

Assault

Mephiston assaults the chaos marines, dodging all incoming fire. He then casts the sanguine sword and unleashed rage. Mephiston goes first and thanks to rerolls hits six times, resulting in five wounds/kills. The marines strike back, but are unable to wound.

Good luck! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548381/5994445.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548381/5994445.page GMT 40K!
