Hey folks, I played my first 40k game today against Isaac Miller. It was a great game and I had a lot of fun. We played 1000 points as an introductory game for both of us. I won with my Ultramarines after we ended a bit early due to time constraints. We played Eternal War - The Relic, using the Hammer and Anvil deployment.
Here are the lists we used (Deathguard list may be off):
++ Battalion Detachment +3CP (Imperium - Space Marines) [54 PL, 997pts] ++
+ HQ +
Captain Sicarius [7 PL, 132pts]
Marneus Calgar [13 PL, 250pts]: Terminator Armour
+ Troops +
Intercessor Squad [6 PL, 100pts]: 4x Intercessor, Intercessor Sergeant
Intercessor Squad [6 PL, 100pts]: 4x Intercessor, Intercessor Sergeant
Tactical Squad [9 PL, 175pts]
. 7x Space Marine
. Space Marine Sergeant: Plasma pistol, Power sword
. Space Marine w/Heavy Weapon: Missile launcher
. Space Marine w/Special Weapon: Flamer
+ Elites +
Company Champion [4 PL, 66pts]: Master-crafted power sword
Primaris Ancient [4 PL, 69pts]
+ Dedicated Transport +
Drop Pod [5 PL, 105pts]: Storm bolter
++ Total: [54 PL, 997pts] ++
++ Battalion Detachment +3CP (Chaos - Death Guard) [57 PL, 1051pts] ++
+ HQ +
Lord of Contagion [9 PL, 184pts]: Plaguereaper
Malignant Plaguecaster [6 PL, 110pts]
+ Troops +
Chaos Cultists [3 PL, 54pts]: 9x Chaos Cultist, Heavy stubber
. Cultist Champion: Autogun
Plague Marines [9 PL, 163pts]: 6x Plague Marines, Plasma gun
. Plague Champion: Plaguesword, Replace bolt pistol and boltgun
Poxwalkers [3 PL, 60pts]: 10x Poxwalker
Poxwalkers [3 PL, 60pts]: 10x Poxwalker
+ Elites +
Noxious Blightbringer [4 PL, 80pts]: Plasma pistol
Possessed [6 PL, 110pts]: 5x Possessed
+ Fast Attack +
Foetid Bloat-drone [10 PL, 158pts]: Plague probe, 2x Plaguespitter
+ Dedicated Transport +
Chaos Rhino [4 PL, 72pts]: Combi-bolter
++ Total: [57 PL, 1051pts] ++
I finished deploying first and chose to go first, Isaac then stole the initiative from me.
Deathguard turn 1:
Mostly just advancing (Chaos marines started in the Rhino), potshot wounds an Intercessor.
Ultramarines turn 1: Everyone advances, Calgar teleports near some pox walkers, drop pod drops down near the Lord and the cultists and disembarks the Tactical Marines. A cultists dies to the drop pod gun, 6 pox walkers die from Intercessor guns and Calgar guns.
Deathguard turn 2:
Full unit of Pox walkers trudge forward, drone flies forward, chaos marines disembark from the rhino, rhino drives around a bit, possessed charge intercessors and kill 2 marines, Lord walks towards the tactical marines, cultists miss the tactical squads, crippled pox walkers unit charge Calgar with only one zombie making the charge, Calgar takes no wounds then kills 3 zombies
Ultramarines turn 2:
Pod picks of 2 more cultists, tactical marines shoot the Lord doing 3 wounds then charge him and do nothing, Calgar overkills the last pox walkers in the 1st unit, Sicarius and Champ charge the possessed, Sicarius kills all the possessed by himself, Intercessor unit 2 (undamaged unit) shoots the drone and does nothing.
Deathguard turn 3:
Lord kills all the tactical marines, chaos marines kill another Intercessor, drone fails to do anything to retaliate to the Intercessors that shot it
Ultramarines turn 3:
Calgar charges Lord and inflicts 2 wounds, Lord punches back does 3 wounds, Pod kills another cultist, Sicarius and crippled Intercessor unit charge chaos marines and do nothing, Champion advances to grab the relic, Full intercessors do nothing to the drone
Deathguard turn 4:
Lord inflicts 3 wounds on Calgar, Calgar punches back and does nothing, drone does one wound to the Champion, Chaos marines inflict 2 wounds to Sicarius, Plaguecaster tries to hit Calgar with Plague Wind and fails, Blightbringer misses the Champion.
Ultramarines turn 4:
We decide that since I have the relic I win due to time constraints and resolve the battle between Calgar and the Lord of Contagion. Calgar kills the Lord with his Gauntlets of Ultramar.
Overall, it was a really fun game. Sicarius and Calgar are really good. Sicarius killed the entire Possessed unit by himself with his Tempest Sword after rolling three wound rolls of 6 and dealing 6 mortal wounds to the unit. Meanwhile Calgar turned a bunch of Pox Walkers to paste before engaging the Lord of Contagion in an epic duel to the death. The Ancient was a bit lackluster overall, although that may just be due to my rolls, and I'm curious as to what other people think about the Space Marine Ancient characters (the standard bearers). Thanks for reading! Happy Wargaming!
