Necromundan 223rd GI Joe

vs.


Star Force




Glenn came by today (June 27, 2003) to FINALLY play a game of Warhammer 40K.
We each took a 500 (approximately) point army.

Result:
- Imperial Guard totally destroyed (46 troopers + Chimera)
- Space Marines suffered 33% casualties (8 of 21 marines, 2 bikes, 1 dreadnaught)

The Imperial Guard got lousy die rolls. The Space Marines have a better hit probability (66% vs. 50% for IG).

What I learned: Use ordanance units next time.


Necromundan 223rd Task Force

Star Force Assault Detachment

Glenn makes the first move with his bike!

IG heavy bolter takes aim....

...at a bike. The moment of truth arrives. The first shot to be fired...

...and I roll the die off the table

Both armies advance on the 'satellite' (objective: take and hold possesion of the satellite)

The bolters score a hit...

...and take out one of the bikes!

The Guard see the Marines advancing

Red Squad opens fire...

And knock out two command squad troopers

One Guard manages to kill a
space marine in the assault phase

Moral victory for the Imperial Guard:
my chimera destroyed his immobilized Dreadnaught

My one moment of celebration

The Marines promptly destroy the chimera...

...and Glenn celebrates

2 hours later, it's down to 16 Marines and 7 Guardsmen

My personal figure manages to destroy the remains of one squad

While assaulting another squad, he takes one marine out before
he is overwhelmed by the others
