Battle Report: Astra Militarum vs. Chaos Space Marines (1,500 pts)

See, this is what happens when my phone’s dead (zero photos) and I have zero initiative to take detailed notes.  Rather than write up a detailed turn-by-turn summary, I’ll kind of post a vague-ish summary with a detailed debrief…

The CSM list featured here had a couple of twists that I wasn’t necessarily expecting.  First off, I didn’t know Abaddon was a thing.  In both games I’ve played CSM, he’s been there.  Go figure.

This’ll also be the first time I’ve squared up against a Demon Prince.  This would represent the first Flying Monstrous Creature I’ve tackled also…

Reading online, I knew not to mess around with the Hell-turkey.  I know that the Turkey has recently taken the short end of the FAQ-stik, now not being able to fire in a rear-arc-torrent-plus-vector-strike manner.  I don’t mind this.

Video Batrep?!? What Wizardry is This?!?

So Smack TalkYo went and put his talents to making a video battle report for our recently completed game.

Battle Report: Astra Militarum vs. Chaos Space Marines (1,500 pts)

Abaddon continues his 13th Black Crusade on Cadia.  Knight Commander Pask answers the call.  Punisher vs. Despoiler: who will prevail?

FIGHTAN Chaos!

Looking forward to a game against the forces of Chaos this evening.  He’s featuring a very well painted Black Legion force, and has been wanting to put the hurt on Knight Commander Pask for MONTHS.  Abaddon needs a new face-mask, apparently.

I’ve made some subtle tweaks to my own army list, most notably dropping Ulmar the Incompetent in favour of more and different guns.  Twin linking is nice, but I haven’t had great success getting the power off, so to the shelf he goes.  We’ll see if I really notice him missing.

This should be interesting!  Stay tuned for another battle report!
