Some games are just too nail-biting to photograph. Today, the Dark Angels saw their first game in the flesh. Underprepared is certainly the word for it, as I was still gluing models onto bases twenty minutes before we were due to meet up - but even so, the game was amazing. 2000pt Ambush deployment saw the Angels surrounded by a beautifully painted Alpha Legion force. My first turns were punctuated by some awful rolls, and some harsh lessons in the effectiveness of the Alpha Legion movement/range shenanigans. My Leviathan and Tartaros Terminators were shot off the table turn one. My Veterans and Command Squad were charged by Contemptor Dreadnaughts, and my shooting squads were always just out of range. And then the dice turned. A slew of lucky sixes saw one Contemptor hewn in half by the Calibanite Warblade of a Veteran Sergeant, and the shredding chainswords of the Command Squad finished what a Terranic Greatsword had started. Stuck into melee, the Angels of Death took an obscene toll on whatever unit they engaged, but all the while their already limited numbers were slowly chipped away. Going into turn four, I only had seven models on the table. But those seven models had each slain four times their number of more valuable enemies. Be it the lone Veteran Sergeant who single handedly removed 9 Tactical marines (before a Power Fist Sergeant nailed him in retaliation), or three Power Fist Indomitus Terminators that deleted a whole ten man squad of Seekers and their Saboteur leader, running them off the table without taking so much as a wound in return. Every man was a Hero - but Heroes don't win battles. It takes men to hold the field, and mine were exhausted. It took one lost volley of Nemesis Bolters and Lascannons to bring an end to my rampage, and I was tabled at the end of turn four. What a game! #warhammercommunity #warhammerbattlereport #darkangels30k #alphalegion30k #horusheresy #horusheresy2point0 #hobbystreak #hobbystreakday449 (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoddyrWNUvJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
