I got the opportunity to play Ryan and his Plague Marines. Ryan is just starting his Kill Team Journey. It turns out he is studying architecture at the same school where I studied 40 years earlier,
I have built some more Tactical Intercessors, I have a veteran sergeant and 4 more guys with different models of bolt gun.
Here we are with the tactical marines which came with the starter set. I'm using the marine with the grenades as the gunner, given the tactical marines I bought of Ebay didn't include the boltgun with the auxilary grenade launcher.
Here is the Assault section, they performed quite well in the first two games with this team.
Here are the specialists on their big round bases.
Here we are after the scouting phase, I have the Tactical sergeant, the Sniper the Intercessor gunner and 3 Assault Intercessors one of which is the grenadier. My sergeant slid out past the end of the gantry and blasted the Plague Marine Warrior. Having a tactical sergeant allowed me to play the Devastator doctrine for free and I spent one to substitute the Aggressive doctrine for Sharp Shooters.
The Plage Marine Grenadier ran down to the objective and hiding in the Cloud of Flies
The Chaos Sorcerer wanders around the corner and casts Plague Wind on my Sergeant. This was the roll...eek. My Sergeant takes 11 damage and is poisoned. He has just enough health to last the rest of the battle as long as he doesn't take any damage
The Assault marine ran around the corner used his auspex to get an accurate fix on the Grenadier and put two bolt rounds through his center of mass and one into his head. After shooting the Plague Caster in the first turn the Sniper now turned his attention to the aspiring champion.
The Assault intercessor has moved up and turned on the transmission while hiding behind the machinery, After the Fighter ran over, he booped the transmission again and then shot the plage marine twice. Some great saving and Disgustingly Resilient roles and the fighter survived on 3 wounds.
Here is a view across the battlefield. The intercessor gunner moved forwards and took out the Plague Caster, after he had attacked the Assault Intercessor. The Champion then leapt up on the platform and shot him with his plasma pistol, this weapon then exploded and killed him. The Sergeant climbed on the gantry and shot the fighter to finish him off.
The Icon Bearer finished his climb to the top of the condenser and fights the Assault Intercessor. Both warriors take damage.
The counterattack from the assault intercessor is terrible and he gets killed. The Icon bearer is then shot down by the avenging battle brothers.
The Carcharadons were victorious, while the score was a blowout it could have been quite different and was much closer than the score suggested
