Battle Report - 3rd ed 40k

 Hello Folks,

Today was 3rd ed tine at Fandom again. This time I took some blood angels to fight the Dark Eldar. Mission wise we went for cleanse, one if the classics. Control table quarters to win.

Here's the set up, dreadnought right up front to force back the Eldar, with terminators and death company, predator and Scouts in thd back to hold quarters and flanks around, and a tactical in a rhino to push into the left corner. Also have a plane in reserve. Eldar have lots of grotesque deployed and stuff in a few raiders.

Turn 1 advance up, death company about yo charge in and do what they do.

Raiders advance and kill dready and my rhino, but the death company have the grotesque killed now finishing some witches. 

Great turn for me killing all 3 raiders and leaving he dark eldar mostly pinned. Terminators even got theirs in close combat.

All the Dark Eldar can really do is have the talos charge the terminators, but with crazy lucky saves he only gets 1.

On my turn he whifs again and gets pummeled down by power fists. My tactical finishes a warrior squad, and thd death company charge the incubi. They are crazy dangerous for marines so this is dicey. But it's a bit awkward terrainwise so only a few can fight at a time. I think this accidently works I  my favor as it keeps the archon out.

Grotesque charge the terminators after getting shot up by my plane a big. Terrible match for them but they are chipping away guys.

Last stadium of thd brave cyclone guy.

Incubi beat the death company, but only 2 incubi and the archon survive, the predator tank imnedatly foes for the incubi. Looking grim Dark Eldar wise, but they are determined to kill every marine possible!

Plane zooms in, no more grotesques.

Archon charges in, losing 1 wound to drugs. Butchers 5 marines, but I fall black and blastvhim with bolters. Finally fails a shadow field save and the find goes down!

A win for thd marines with all the Dark Eldar killed, but many of humanities bravest joined them.

All and all very good game! I think it swung allot on very lucky rolls from me. 3rd ed continues to deliver very goid games.

Bringing out the Baneblade next tine so look forward to that beast!

Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - Saga

 Hello Folks,

Got to play some fun games of Saga last Saturday at Red Dragon. So usually breif battle reports. I took sone Normans with a bit of everything.

Game 1: vs Joms Vkings

We did the book of battles random mission mainly as I think it's the most fun. We got:

Vanguard

Under pressure

It's a good day to die

Subjugation

Basically murder, bonus points for having the most units alive. After their turn 4 either player can say ots game over and there opponent gets 1 final turn.

Here's the set up, basically guys with bows in front to pepper em up, then knights charge and finish them off, at least that's the plan.

Joms move up but stay outside 12.

I advance a bit and let fly.

Joms get in close and do dome javelin throwing, get a few kills.

I shoot em up and charge with the right knights. It goes OK but not great.

Must have missed a pic, but allot of stuff died. I have most of my hearty alive, plus I thought someone was waiting so call the end.

Last turn fir the joms but not enough saga dice to have a huge impact. In the final count I was up 2-3 points or something like that.

Game 2:

No one was waiting so we just went again.

March column

Pitched battle

Nostalgia

Show of force

New rolls main things here are warlords get 2 saga dice. Again massacre points, but you get a bonus every melee you win, and 3 for having a unit cross the board.

Spread out more this time, I want a unit of knights to breakthrough and get the bonus.

Joms advance hard, ready for vengeance.

I shoot em up and get some kills, then the knights wipe a unit. Lucky start.

The joms counter attack killing my crossbows, but just out from charging my other knights.

Shooting kills 3 hearth guard, and my knights kill 4 from the other unit, but 3 knights die. I am mostly winning the fights thou so building bonus points.

Jond getting low on saga dice.

By the end they have not much left, so a solid win for the normans. Bitblucky woth shooting, and the scenario arguably favored me.

Final game vs Franks:

Inappropriate mat as the store mostly gets 40k. Scenario wise we did one from the tournament pack I think which was just murder really.

Set up fir battle. First turn for me, bug my long range dhoot8ng gets blocked.

Frank come in murder my crossbows and pull back. Scary.

I shoot em up real good, doing pretty well on that so far.

More fighting thos titm but pretty even. Really need knights charge now but my own stuff is a bit in the way.

I put up a good fight but getting ground diwn by Frankish efficency. 

Ends up being a pretty solid Frank win.

Was a great day out, fun to get some Saga going again. They also had a garage sale so I got a big of nids to paint sone day...

Thanks;

Mike
