I had brought a camera to take pics. Too bad I didn't take any :D
WITCHHUNTERS(WITH ALLIES) VS. ULTRA MARINES
Game: Warhammer 40,000 4th Edition - Last Game before 5th ed
Opponent: Mike(??)
Mission: Alpha Cleanse
1st turn: WitchHunters
Points: 2000
WitchHunters
UltraMarines
The game
The Space Marines deployed with all of their armor on the open patch of terrain on the right of his deployment. and the rhinos on either flanks to take a quarter. I had the Penitent Engines all massed in front behind the hill on the center. and the rest of my troops spread out as much as I can. The Penitent Engines then decided to just walk in amongst the boxed in armour and laid waste to all the vehicles there. One eventually managed to get Tigurius in hand to hand and snipped him in half.
My dice rolls were atrocious though.. specially my shooting. I had the first turn and managed to hit nothing despite having BS4. My Eversor died at the hands of the Librarian which then bio-meltdowned and killed my Inquisitor. The plan to delay the Dreadnought by having my Frateris Militia attack it was flubbed when I rolled a 12 for leadership and it found itself safe from the rest of my troops
With the more mechanized army he had most of my assault troops wound up milling around my table quarter. Despite that I managed to survive all of this simply because of the sheer amount of bodies I still had to throw at him.
I had 1 Quarter with 2 contested and 1 vacant.

- An Eversor should only really assault foot troops and not characters that can attack them first.
- Change my dice
- Need to scratch build some penitent Engines
- I am rusty.. too many rule questions for me. Still wont matter much with 5th ed just the next month already.
