Battle for the water way

The ultra marines and nurgle went at it last night.  Winner: ultra marines. Loser: nurgle, 100pwrlvl ea.

I have to say that I lost this one because of distractions off game.  Allow me a bit of whining (it is my blog after all). Trying to carry 3 conversations, show someone to paint, and teach someone to play 40k, will not allow you to focus fully on the game thus missing the crucial move you need to make so you are not completely out of position later.  Ok, enough whining.

This game was about nurgle pooping in the river and spoiling the water.  This particular game had 2 storylines on it.  My game was after nurgle had already defiled the water and the ultra marines were bringing retribution.  The other game was tim's nth marines going back in time and beating joe to the actual nurgle water pooping.  I'm not sure the outcome of that game yet, but the ultra marines brought the retribution in mass.  The centurion firepower is really silly.  Not that everything in this edition is silly as well, but Bill really took it to me with mass firepower.

Here's the Picts.

Awesome models

Last night, my friend Bill and I played and......  yeah he beat me, but his stuff looks so good that it didn't matter.  Finally after all of these years, I got him to pose some of them for a photo shoot.  Enjoy ( I know I have for years.)

Battle report Nurgle vs templars

Unfortunately, my first real campaign game was a loss to the

templars in six rounds.  We were playing city fight and we were at 75pl each.  Turn 1 had the death guard helbrute charge across the field and try to damage a rhino.  Whiff whiff, and on to his turn.  Oh yeah, my sorcerer boxcarded and gave himself 2 mortal wounds,  The power made my helbrute harder to shoot at.

He struck from the skies with jump troops and teleported in with terminators.  Killed the sorcerer in hth.

Then we deployed from the rhinos and charged into his troops.  Pretty squishy for him but not that bad.  I ended up with one squad in the building.

He charged in more guys and the assault swamp was on.  Beating on each other for the next 3 turns.

He pretty much chewed me up as the game went on, and then we split up to take the buildings.  There was a rush for building #3 and he won it.

Templars 4, nurgle 2
