Kill Team - Chaos Space Marine Legionnaires.

-

I played Daniel in a game of Kill team. He was using an Ultramarine Intercession squad. This seemed to be the perfect opportunity to try out my new Word Bearers team. I bought this from Nathan's shop over the Christmas Holidays.

The Word Bearers are great because they can belong to any of the Chaos Gods. The Meta seems to favour Nurgle. I liked the abilities Tzeentch gives so I gave that mark to my 4 shooters and Mark of Undivided for my Melee fighters. Getting a reroll when the enemy is within 6 inches is going to be useful if you only have 6 in range weapons.

Here is a heavy gunner, Warrior and the Shrive Talon on one side.
Here is my Chosen and the Plasma Gunner, in addition I have a Balefire Acolyte for some Warp powered support. 
Here we are part way through the first turning point. The Acolyte had buffed the heavy bolter, who then moved around the corner and shot two of the Intercessors down to 1HP. I was initially disappointed not to have killed one of them, but Tzeentch knew better. This was useful because it rendered two models almost combat ineffective. When my warrior moved up he got damaged by the "angel of Death" return shot. The third intercessor warrior moved up and shot the heavy gunner.
The Assault intercessor sergeant moved up and looted the objective while concealed behind the barricade. One of the Intercessors is being a corpse marker ready for me to desecrate later. The other shooter is wounded on 1 wound.
My Plasma gunner activated last in the first turning point and moved and dashed up to the barricade the intercessor was hiding behind, A maximal plasma gun shot took him down to two wounds. He then shot back with his pistol and then charged into close combat. The plasma gunner took a hit but then killed off the Assault intercessor.
The Plasma gunner then activated, moved up, shot the assault intercessor off one objective and looted it.
At this point the Ultramarines were down to 3 models one of which was badly wounded so they withdrew. 
The Adeptus Munitor files they were sent to recover were not worth the cost in marine lives.

This was a fun game and has got me inspired to build some more models.

Stargrave 40k - "we just got our asses kicked man"

-
Image
Alan and I went up to the Bring and Buy day at the Kapiti Club in Paraparaumu. We took our Stargrave game. In this case we had followed our leads to an abandoned factory. However when we got there we realised that the factory was far less abandoned than we had hoped. As we approached we could hear the sounds of chanting and the smell of old blood. It certainly didn't sound like Slaaneshi cultists. Here is an overview of the factory mounds of overgrown rubble and broken machinery. At locations around the factory were groups of red robed figures crouched over bits of equipment. They appeared to be trying to unlock the access to an underground silo. Here is the new Inquisition strike team. We have two new commandos and a doctor along with a former heretic that had been reprogrammed into an assault gladiator. The cultists if thats what they are react with the skill and precision normally reserved for military units. Inquisitor Rathbourne smote a cultist with a Grenade launcher with a b...

Kill Team - Genestealers above ground.

Image
I got in against Ben and his Star Striders, The Genestealers had made a lair in some old ruins. The Starstrider crew needed to cross this dangerous area so they could recover a valuable relic. Here are the Genestealers lying in wait for any that enter their territory. I placed once stealer in the open because I knew I could Salk it into cover and threaten the mid board. The Star Strider's motion trackers started going off, but they could not lock down the locations of the Genestealers while they were hiding in the ruins. The Genestealers are scuttling forwards. The Genestealers have flanked around their short side and seized control of the objective point between the Star Striders and their relic One the other side the board the Star Striders are advancing. One of the armsmen got close enough to get an accurate fix on one of the genestealers. This enabled their ship to get the coordinates and a beam strike lanced down out of the heavens. However the lightning reflexes of the Genest...

7TV Vlads Army - the climax - Battle at the Church

-
Image
 The Home Guard have raced back to their headquarters at the Church. (its the only place with a working phone). They have found the vicar and verger inside and have amassed a stock of supplies with which to make maguffins and other unique weapons of war. Just then a dark smokey cloud spreads over the graveyard and long dead hands start erupting from the ground. The Vampires have arrived, and this time they are led in person by Major Shreck. Can the Home Guard drive off the fiends of the night? Here is the church and its surrounding graveyard. (Seriously, who does that?) To the right is the church hall and at the bottom a couple of bomb-damaged houses. There is a war on. Here are the brave defenders taking their positions. The vicar briefly protested as his windows are broken to make firing ports. Alan won initiative for the first time in the campaign. Major Shrek raised the Iron Cross and the horde shambled forwards. Alan also got the effect that meant he could only move once per t...
