I played Charly's Ultramarines to a 12-12 draw with my Night Lords last night...heres what happened,
In the first turn charly advanced his tanks down his left flank, his predator destroying its chaos cousin with its lascannon. The Dreadnought unloads its Heavy Bolters and lascannon on a squad of Night Lords, the las missing and the NL saving 4 of 5 wounds from the heavy Bolters! IN the Chaos turn, the land Raider and veterans kill 3 of the 5 terminators in the Ultramarine deployment zone, while the NL who survived the Dreadnoughts heavy bolter unlaods a lascannon shot of his own, blasting the legs off the metal beast!
Charly began his second turn with the Predator destroying the Land Raider, adding 370 points of armour to its tally. The Terminators wipe out the Veterans with their assualt cannon while the marine squads enter a firefight with the Night Lords ground troops. In the Chaos turn the destruction of the Land Raider blocks the path for the Rhino leaving a squad of Bezerkers to move from haflway across the battlefield. They do however find a Librarian skulking and take out 3 of his bodyguard as well as causing a wound on the Librarian himself with their plasma pistols. The Chaos Terminators eject from the Rhino and bring down several marines and a Terminator, (leaving just the assault cannon).
The ultramarines begin firing their Vindicator at the Night Lords advancing through the centre of the table, managing to score 6's to hit! A no mans land emerges with NL and Ultramarines exchanging fire across the scattered Chaos corpses. Bolter fire also accounts for several Bezerkers. Hellfire manages to flush out a Night Lords squad from cover and also fells the NL commander. In the Chaos turn the Reaper rolls a 2 and misses a shot at the Marine Librarian. meanwhile, infantry lascannons finally bring down the predator which goes out of control and explodes, killing the standard bearer.
In the final Ultramarine turn, the surviving Terminator with assault cannon emerges and reduces the Bezerkers to just one 2 models. The rest of the Ultramarine force consolidates into cover, leaving around 70% of the table in Chaos hands. In the last Chaos turn, the Librarian and his bodyguard are finally destroyed by the Reaper auto-cannon, the surviving terminator is also killed by a plasma pistol shot of vengeance from the Bezerkers.
The battle ends with a heavy contingent (almost 2 full squads and a Vindicator) of Ultramarines defending the North West sector of the table. The Chaos forces surround the Ultramarines but with such heavy losses, both sides commanders dead and with no way of pushing forward the battle is a stalemate
Highlights - the Predator of doom accounting for well over 500 points worth of troops!
- The Bezerker plasma pistoling the final Terminator to death
- The Predator exploding and taking out the standard bearer...teach him to get close for a cheeky melta-gun shot!
