Today I got a friend from my dorm to go with me to the hobby shop. I had enough marines to make two Ultramarine detatchments
at 750pts each to fight 1500pts of Thousand Sons. The board was like a volcanic wasteland. By the time the lists were put
together we just decided to make it one Ultramarine force so the lists are as follows:
Ultramarines 7th Company:
Master Captain Vash Thalion
-Storm Bolter, Power Weapon, Terminator Honors, Iron Halo,
frag grenades

-Bolt Pistol, Terminator Honors, Jump Pack, Artificer Armor, Melta Bombs,

-Terminator Honors, Power Weapon, Plasma Gun, Missil Launcher
Tactical Squad Altaris (10)
-Missil Launcher,
Melta Gun
Tactical Squad Eurida (6)
-Lascannon
Devastator Squad Voltaris (7)

Marines (9)
-Sorcerer with power fist, thralls x3, eye of tzeentch, rhino with storm bolter

Rubric Marines (10)
-Sorcerer
with daemonic possession, thralls x3, eye of tzeentch, rhino with storm bolter
Defiler with indirect fire and daemonic
possession.
Greater Daemon of Tzeentch
Daemon Prince thingy of some kind... dont ask cause I dont know...
So those were the two armies now to deployment.
Deadnaught went behind the hill on the left, Captain Thalion went with Tactical squad Tyriel behind some boulders just
left of the center of the deployment with the Devs on a hill to the right and squad Altaris to their right. Squad Oscelo went
behind squad Tyriel and squad Eurida went to the left of squad Oscelo. Squad Herrion with Chaplain Claudius went behind squad
Oscelo and behind the hill they were standing on.
Defiler went in the far left corner with a rhino right infront of it with marines mounted. The second rubric squad went
on the hill next to the Defiler with their rhino down below and at an angle further blocking the Defiler and the last rhino
went more towards the center in a small alley between the cliffs.
Lots of Ultramarines compared to not a whole lot of Thousand Sons but thats how it goes they are really expencive and
really tough to kill if you dont get lucky.
So a Picture or two at the end of Deployment:
Turn 1:
Ultramarines!!! Woo that made me happy, my friend brought with him good luck, though it seems my luck only turns when
I have an ally, oh well.
Deadnaught moved up behind squad Eurida, Tactical squad Tyriel moved onto the rocks and the Assault
Marines rushed up behind them all spead out. Squad Altaris fires on the right rhino by the defiler and immobolizes it and
destroys its storm bolter. The Dreadnaught fired on the other rhino, hit with both guns, penetrated its armor with both guns
and a 4 and a 6!!! The rhino blows up and clears the sight to the Defiler. Squad Oscelo fires, hits, penetrates and blows
off the Battle Canon. The weapon I was most fearing gone in one blow. Devs and squad Altaris fire on the Rubric marines on
the hill killing three of them.
Prodigal Sons
Rhino on far right moves forward and unloads the rubric marines and the sorcerer lord. All shooting
goes at the Devastators and kills 4 of the 7 leaving the missil launcher, plasma cannon and lascannon, the marines pass morale.
Defiler kills one marine from squad Tyriel.
Turn 2:
Ultramarines
Assault squad moved to the right near the Thousand Sons, Tactical Squad Tyriel moves further right. All
others stay put. Shooting shows the hurricane missils shot off the Defiler and all but the sorcerer lord are killed in shooting.
Chaplain and Squad Herrion assault the Lord, lord killed all 5 of the squad but Chaplain Cladius cleaved him in half.
Thousand Sons
Battle conceded. Game over.
Results:
Ultramarine Cassualties:
Squad Herrion
4 Members of Squad Voltaris
1 Member of Squad Tyriel
Thousand Sons Cassualties:
12 Rubric Marines
Rhino destroyed
Rhino immobolized
Defiler damaged
Sorcerer
Lord
So a quick game that was lots of fun and a victory for my still fledgling
Ultramarines. Hopefully Ill play a few quick combat patrol games with a couple people from the dorm tommorrow to see
about getting them more into the game. Getting to the hobby shop is a pain so if I can get people here into it that would
rock.
Im happy with how everything performed, it was a fun laid back match.
Time to go try and find a brush that works... my old one kinda... fell apart from use.
