We

not forced to keep playing the same units in every game so you can pretty much
make up whatever list you want for each
game.

This month I played two games
First was against ironhands.
The scenario this month was basily a fight in a city under a napalm barrage. Every shooting phase we
would get to scatter a marker. IF it hit terrain it would set it on fire, and it would hit
every model within 6 inch whit a strength 5 hit. They would stay in play and on top of
that they were cumulative. At the start of the game it was not so bad
but in the end if you wanted to stay on
a objective you had to take hits from
multiple of those things.
The iron hands came whit 20
marines and a apothecary, twin assault
cannon contemptor and a sicaran.
But man those 30k iron hands are tough -1 strenght vs shooting is noting
to laugh at. This game came down to the
wire. While I was ahead in firepower the whole game. Getting 20
ironhands of a objective takes some serrius fire power. If it was not for the scenario
helping I doubt I would have succeeded.
The second game was against ultra marines.
As a Alpha legion player nothing pleases me more then whipping those
bastards of the map. Who did Guiliman think he was anny way. That being said this was not a great battle.
The opponent had 2 marine sqauds in rhino’s and 2 double assault cannon contemnors. Personally I don’t think it is ever worth
taking more tactical sqauds then the minimum. But you have
to respect those contemptors. But luck was not on the ultra marine side. I
got infiltrate warlord trait and so could take scout from my alpha legion
rules. Meaning my whole force was in perfect position from the start. That lead
to a easy take down of the first contemtor. Then I got lucky on his first turn
and despite almost his whole remaining
force shooting at the bikes and consule I
only suffer as single wound. And that was basically all she wrote.
Next month is a 1000 points and I want to change my army up a fair
bit so time to get to painting.
