VS
2nd Company Ultramarines
I managed to get a game in on Sunday versus Chimera. Last time we played each other, I narrowly beat his Elysian's by one point (See here). This time Chimera wanted to practice his 1850 tournament list. Which consisted of a Gladius Formation, so free transports, all demi-co models get objective secure and doctrines which grant re-rolls. Along side this was a Sky Hammer Strike Force, which grants devastators relentless on the turn they drop pod in and assault marines can deep strike and assault. Basically I was going to take a beating and quickly with 4 drop pods on turn 1. Watch the video and see how quick it happens!



For those interested in his list:

TOTAL = 1847 (With nearly 400 free points of transports)

This game was hard. Normally marines are hard enough to beat but start giving them free transports and re-rolls and it's game over.. As always with Chimera it was a fun game and most of it was spent with a smile on our faces. There should be another game very soon with my Carcosa Eldar going up against Chimera's Sons of Horus!

Just before they get wiped out!
I hate flamers.
