Ard Boyz Round 2

After a quick lunch. I headed back into the furnace that was Dicehead and moved to play my next opponent. I must confess I asked his name twice and still forgot it.
He had a Blood Angels army. I didn't get a list but here is what I remember

2x Storm Ravens
2x Scout squads - 4 sniper & 1 missile launcher
4x tactical squads all 5 man in Razor Backs, meltaguns everwhere
6 man assault terminator squad with an attached Priest/Apotecary? He gave Feel No Pain to the Terminators plus a Librarian
6 Man Terminator squad with a Librarian
2 sets of assault marines they both deepstruck in. not sure if one was some elite squad or not.
1-2 5 man devastator squad I think.
2 Landspeeders

The mission was Holding Objectives.  1 in each table quarter and 1 in very center of board.

For this game the Kustom Force Field was so awesome. I made saves on my 3 Battlewagons all over the place. Then the angels started landing.
1 squad of assault marines landed behind my advancing trukks. So I dropped off a squad and disembarked my Meganobz to deal with them. And ended up killing them with shooting. . . My Warboss was not happy. He hadn't killed a single beakie all day. ( In my first game I split my army to avoid the Lysander & 10 Terminators deathstar and my Meganobz never got stuck in)

This is where I got my green arse handed to me. I charged 12 boyz and a nob into the Terminator/Priest/Librarian Squad. The librarian gave them preferred enemy. So the 3 lighting claw marines were striking before me, rerolling to hit and to wound. 6 orks died. 2-3 more died to librarian/priest. I had 2 orks and a Nob left, between 2+ on the terms with FNP, the normal orks did nothing. The thunderhammer terms killed me off. The Nob missed 3 out of 4 attacks. the 1 that did hit and wound, got blocked by storm shield.

My orks did manage to wreck the land speeders. My Death Koptas were the little bit of light. The 2 Buzzsaws opened up 3 razorbacks over the course of the game and killed 1 5 man tact squad. The big shootas were decent at glancing the razorbacks. 12 shots twin linked at armor 11 was enough to at least annoy them, Then assaulting with 4 str 7 hits was very nice.

I got assaulted by the 2nd terminator squad jumping out of a storm raven into my meganobz. and  no invulnerable saves meant my meganobz just evaporated. I ended up with just my warboss broken who was escorted off the board by the storm raven. Storm Ravens proceded to pound my Battlewagons into mush. Multimeltas and the ap1 rockets are nasty on rear armor.

The one Oh crap moment for my opponent was when my Big Mek managed to hit one of his Storm Ravens in Close Combat, but then he only rolled 2 for penetration, 9+2 = 11. 1 short of glancing the armor 12.

The result was a massacare for me. no Troops left for me. But I had a great game my opponent was a great guy and we just had fun. I wish I could remember his name. I would really like a rematch against him.

The game ended when my last troop was killed on the center objective.
