Ok so he has a little bit of an advantage...but no worries...unlucky for me he sent his 2 scout vet serg's to the DC along with another scout with bp/ccw... terrain was like this...big building in my deployment zone(the best firing lanes i'd seen) in his he deployed some cover(trees) again for me i deployed some ruined buildings he got more cover for his assualt troops and in the peices in the middle was some trees and a bridge lookin thing(dont ask me he made it!).. i deployed both my dev's in the big building(3 stories!) and then the rhinos behind it.The Tactical squads too the best firing lanes possible behind the ruined buildings to me right and the one went into the forest near the middle(still in my deployment zone!) He deployed behind cover with DC somewhat in the open..(huge mistake!)
and his honor guard behind rhino's that were in cover.. his scouts infiltrated
and snuck up near my tactical squad in the trees.The rest of his army took
what cover/firing lanes they had..
Turn 1-The Salamanders chaplain looked across the field spying some black armor.Staying in cover as practiced for centuries,The dark figure told his tactical squad to load up and move around the edge of the building uot of the firing range of the dreadnought and preditor.The other tactical squads dug in and let rip.Managing to take off the twin linked lascannon on the preditor with a well placed shot and stunning it with another.The Devastators spoke out with a booming voice.Every molecule of plasma went towards the DeathCompany.Utterly destroying every single member inculding the chaplain.The Blood Angels scouts where killed to 3 by the amasssed bolter fire from 3 different tactical squads.The Salamanders charged into battle not even losing a man but tearing down the entire scout squad and consilidating back into cover.The Blood Angels Sanguinary High Priest was angered and raged foward into the open.The Preditor was stunned but its extra thick hull provided it some protectiion allowing the crew to fire its lascannons for now.The dreadnought moved out a bit to get better firing lanes and the rhinos charged foward both ending up blowing their engines(that was a great look on his face!) the scouts with Sniper rifles took aim and let rip.Every single shot missed.The Dreadnought openned up but the rhino's where behind cover with no line of site.So the revered brother settles for 2 tactical marines.The Preditor had nothing to fire at as he couldnt even get a gimpse of the devastators. Turn 2-The Chaplain Loaded up into the rhino as did the librarian, moving from their 3 story safety garage to the ruined buildings,leaving them more exposed but close to the enemy.The tactical squads dug in once more giving fire into the sniper scouts killing 2 with heavy bolter slugs and the rest with a frag missle(he had some awful rolls early on!).The almost forgotten assualt squad was sighted and blow apart by one of the devastator squads killing 9 of them and the remaining marine retreateed off the table.The other dev squad with aid of the veteran sergants signum first immoblized the preditor.Next they took out both its lascannons and finally they hit the ammo supply blowing the thing up and exploding the thing 6 full inches away from the vehicle.The Sanguinary high preist was furious raging foward again this time in front of the rhinos.The tac squads on foot dug it in and began to fire was did the dreadnought who took down 3 unlucky marines with a well placed frag missle and another with a lascannon shot(pretty good shooting for a dread!).The tactical squads took down yet another 4 marines with bolter fire.The Sanguinary high preist charged into the tactical squad that was in cover.Losing none of his expertly trained guardsmen in the difficult terrain.They mercilessly slaughtered the tacical squad advanceing strait into the 2nd tactical squad killing 6 and losing 2 honor guard in return. Turn 3-The chaplain exited the rhino as did the librarian.They walked over to the combat but waited, as their rhino's sped behind the furious combat.The last tactical marine squad laided fire into the dreadnought hitting its core with a supiriour multi melta shot.The Devastators took down the remaining tactical marines from the blood angels leaving only the honor guard and High Priest.The Combat proved fatal for the salamanders as they were killed off by the Sanguinary high preist and his honor gaurd who sweeping advanced through the squad close to the chaplain and librarian. Turn 4-The Librarian wait for his cue from the chaplain before he unleashed
the fury of the salamander after his psychic test.Failing to kill any honor
guard the devastators openned fire but with massivly unlucky shots they
failed to kill but 2 honor guard leaving the sanguinary high preist and
his brother in battle veteran sergant Augis.The chaplain needed no mroe
signal from vulkan that he was to fight in combat nor did they librarian
as they charged into combat together with the tactical squads.The sanguinary
high preist killed off the veteran sergants with thunder hammers(as it
was going to be 14 thunder hammer attacks and 6 force weapon attacks)then
proceeded to wound the chaplain.The librarian took a wound as well.The
chaplain was im pactient and flipped the switch on his hammer to maximum
power exploding Veteran Sergant Augis in the shock wave. and proceeding
to attack the sanguinary high preist but with no luck(awful rolls again!).The
Sacred and revered librarian struck forth with his might weapon felling
the ancient Preist in one blow.
The Victory points?
Blood Angels-447 Salamanders-2430(2 table quarters we count as 200 each) so iot was a massacre....understand why i stopped playing them? anyways shooting only gets so fun(though i might have to try 2 dev's with my angels as its pretty @#%$ effective.) i could've wiped out his honor guard at the start.But facing blood angels before and playing them myself i knew that i would overwhelm them with numbers..and if it came to a turn 5 it would just se dev's.The unlucky rolls at the start may have done something but not a whole lot.The frag missle by the dread was pretty crazy as it killed 4 out the 4 marines it hit.I was a little disappionted in my 60 pnt veteran sergants as they failed to be of any use. Lessons Learned-None.
For the Emporer and Sanguinius,
