    40k

    3k Chaos V 1.5K Imp Guard

    *the back story*
    it was a long night of gaming and as a novelty we wrote up 15000 point army lists, but each game had a maximum of 3k to be used so we always had enough miniatures smile.gif
    i had to defend a hive city, the board was 6x4, The first missin the chaos army had to storm a reactor complex with 1000 points to knock out the power for the planetary defense grid, the indors section was played on a 2x2 spacehulk peice map...chaos won that but every inch and square cost them valuable points, i decided to only feild 600 points of guard thinking i could hold the corridors with autocannons and H.Bolters...it worked. But in the end the chaos troops won out when a 5 man squad of world Eaters(khorne beserkers) charged the reactor core.
    The second mission was a full on 3kv3k battle to open the gates of the city, i lost big time on this one, i killed about 1200 points but lost 2800 with only my command squad surviving the retreat to the industrial zone.
    The industrial zone battle was another crushing blow as my opponent decided to feild a large force of chaos cultists, using a custom strategy card of "cultists in your midsts" this was a disasterous blow for me as 300 points of my army disapeared to the enemy ranks frown.gif
    i did manage to wipe out 1/2 of his total armor though losing only 2 basilisks and a chimera (full of guard frown.gif ) other than that i didnt lose much but i decided to fall back to the outer residential zone with what i had left....
    The outer residential zone was another massacre but this time in my favor, i wiped out squad after squad of chaos cultists and chaos marines, with my supremely accurate mass laser fire (youd be surprised how many kills you get with 100 lasguns) then we fought the battle again but the second time i lost.
    The next battle was played in a adeptus ministorum complex, and i played my strategy card, "Divine intervention" i received 800 points of Sisters of battle...they didnt do much to help the situation and my force was almost wiped out to a man.
    This sets the scene for the last battle
    i had exactly 1500 points of troops left, my oponent had just under 3000 and they were at the planetary governors offices.
    *****battle begins*****
    Turn 1 imp guard
    the 3 hellhounds i had kept in reserve for the entire battle came into their own in this tightly packed map layout, wiping out a squad of chaos marine veterans who had used scout to get close but had been detected, and a rhino troop carrier full of khorne beserkers.
    my 1 remaining basilisk was inefectual, and my squads pushed up under cover.

    Turn 1 chaos
    using strength of numbers a 50 strong squad of cultists all armed with shotguns charged up the central pavillion, but due to the shottys short range all they could hit was air, the 3 chaos marine H.weapon squads however had a feild day destroying my only comlink with an off course frag missile and immolating the crews of one of my heavy weapon teams. the rest of the chaos force proceeded through the ruins.

    Turn 2 Imp Guard
    The tide turns, my last strategy card "hidden reserves" came into play and 2 of my guard sqaud who i had chosen to keep in reserve came onto the battlefeild behind the chaos lines, the 2 missile launchers killing a predator and arhino full of chaos marines. then i decided to reveal my ratling snipers the last of my points revealed, they laid down withering fire into the forces advancing through what once was cover smile.gif
    The chaos cultists lost 23 to a combination of a basilisk shot and 3 H.Bolters.
    all in all a good round.

    Turn 2 Chaos
    it was my turn to be punished, by my ffigureing i had evened up the points to within 200, this turn i suffered so badly that i lost my last heavy weapon team the H.bolters one of my 2 reserve squads and 4 snipers. frown.gif

    Turn 3 Imp guard
    the destruction wasnt to finish there as i went to fire my basilisk he played his last strategy card "weapon malfunction" BOOM there goes my big gun...
    but all was not lost
    my remaining ratlings who had bravely stayed facing a horde of chaos troops had an opertune target the chaos general.
    in the rules we had agreed on before starting if the chaos lord died the army would dilute and lose cohesion attacking random targets on either side (khorne armies smile.gif )my first ratling missed, the second hit but he made his 2+ save, the third hit but again saved, the fourth and fifth missed, so it was up to my last ratling, my last shot of the turn and possibly the game as i doubt i would have survived the next turn. first he rolls a 6 to hit, and at this point im praying to the emperor for luck and he rolled a 1 for his save, i let out a MASSIVe cry as the enemy general fell with a hole through his head.

    After that the absolute madness that followed saw the chaos player failing roll after roll for the random attacks and his forces went into close combat with each other.

    The game ended with the city in ruins, i had a total (including tank crew) of 24 men left.

    After that i reformed my guard army and renamed them the Kaos Killers, using cadian models smile.gif
