HGR Journal Entry No. 099 - Some HGR Gaming Before The Incursion...

Date: June 6, 2009
Venue: Robinsons Galleria
Roll Call: George, JR, Deadeye, Patrick, Henri, Joshua, Kyuzo with special appearance from Owen
Gaming Highlights:

I went to Galleria to check out the HGR gaming scene as well as throw in something out of the blue for the Regulars to consider. But first, some gaming highlights:

---------------------

Game1 - Grimnir aka George(Orks) vs. Joshua(Eldar)
Mission: 700pts Capture and Control
Deployment: Spearhead
Result: Joshua Wins!

Heard this was Joshua's first ever recorded win using Eldar.

---------------------

Game2 - JR(SM-BA/Royal Hawks) vs. Henri(Space Wolves)
Mission: 1500pts Annihilation
Deployment: Spearhead
Result: Henri Wins!

Henri vs. JR

JR: Isep isep...

Bakbakan na!

Got to see the closing rounds of this. JR's getting a better understanding of his army despite the fact he's up against one of the old dogs (pardon the pun Henri) of the game.

---------------------

Game3 - Patrick(Space Marines) vs. Ebon(Orks)
Mission: 1000pts Capture and Control
Deployment: Pitched Battle
Result: Ebon Wins!

Good to see Ebon still tries to play the game despite the health problems, with his tactics still being sharp as ever.

---------------------

Game4 - Grimnir aka George(Orks) vs. Ryan(SM-Salamanders)
Mission: 1000pts Seize Ground
Deployment: Spearhead
Result: Ryan Wins!

Ryan vs. Grimnir

Salamanders assemble!

Salamanders vs. Orks

---------------------

Game5 - JR(SM-BA/Royal Hawks) vs. Kyuzo(CSM-Black Legion)
Mission: 2000pts Seize Ground(3 Objectives)
Deployment: Pitched Battle
Result: Kyuzo Wins! 2-0

It's no mistake, but JR has pushed his army pointage to 2000pts, even if it meant stretching the force organization limits a bit ;) while Kyuzo brought out his all-infantry Black Legion (coz he brought everything he had EXCEPT for the vehicles he was planning to use that day) :P First turn went to the Royal Hawks who brought to bear some serious shooting concentrating much of their sniper and lascannon fire to one Daemon Prince (reducing it to just one wound) as well as an orbital bombardment that reduced one 20-man CSM squad to just 7 models (Ouch...). Obliterators and Chaos Terminators come in on the 3rd Turn in a hope to even up the numbers and contest objectives the Royal Hawks were entrenching themselves. Some well timed Lashes of Submission from the Princes and Doom Siren from the Noise Marines displaced the Royal Hawks from key objectives to seal the win. JR gains a morale victory for killing one Daemon Prince in the process. Talk about dispelling ones demons. ;)

Good Game.

---------------------

Game6 - Deadeye(IG-533rd Cadian Battle Force) vs. Patrick(Space Marines)
Mission: 1000pts Capture and Control
Deployment: Spearhead
Result: Patrick Wins! 1-0

---------------------

Game7 - Grimnir aka George(Orks) vs. Henri(Chaos Space Marines)
Mission: 1000pts Seize Ground(3 Objectives)
Deployment: Pitched Battle
Result: Draw!

Henri started his Chaos Space Marine project and playtested his starting list with a good result against Grimnir's Green Tide. More converts to the Dark Side. :D

---------------------

After packing up and over dinner I then told the Regulars my intent to visit ATC the next day to check out the 40k gaming action to which quite a number enthusiastically agreed. Some general details were discussed regarding time of deployment, the battlebarge course, some rules of engagement, and logistics before we called it a day. All was in agreement, and the assets for the First Wave has been set. The ATC players will never know what hit them. Hehe...

Session ends 9:00pm.

But a conclusion has yet to be written... ;)

Attendance: Deadeye, Kuneho, George, Mickie, Matthew, Martie, Lucas, Ebon, Kyuzo, Battle Captain, Henri, JB with special appearance from Balian, Salubri, Marty and Patrick

Kuneho showed up intent on having a game after a long absence. Results of last Session:

Game 1- Deadeye (SM-Ultramarines) Vs Kuneho (Tyranids-Hive Fleet Conqueror)
Mission: 2000pts Annihilation
Deployment: Spearhead
Result: Kuneho wins Via Tap-out 5th turn

As I won the dice off to who goes first I took the chance and deployed all my nasty fire power up front this was my list

HQ
2 Space Marine Captains – on Bike, Relic Blade
Elite
6 Assault terminators – TH/SS, Lightning Claws
In Landraider – Multimelta
Troops
2 Tactical Squads – Powerfist, Meltagun, Missile launcher, in Rhino
1 Tactical Squad – Power weapon, Meltagun, Plasma Cannon
Fast Attack
2 Landspeeder – Heavy Bolter, Typhoon Pattern
Heavy Support
2 Vindicators – Terrain Modifier

Kuneho’s List (as I remember)

HQ
1 Hive Tyrant with 3 Tyrant guards
1 Broodlord
Elites
1 Lictor
2 DakkaFex
Troops
6 Genestealer Broods – 12 each
32 Gaunts
1 Ripper Swarm – 10?
Heavy Support
2 Carnifex – Barb Strangler Venom Cannon

Having two vindicators in the game meant I had two pie plates dropping down to purify and cleanse the enemy ranks, but as the game progressed I saw all of my vehicles except my Landraider was having a hard time evading sporadic fire even though I had lots of 4+ cover saves, the straw that broke the bike’s suspension was the destruction of my two vindicators and an overwhelming presence of 6 broods of 12 Genestealers, a tactical withdraw sounded good for me! Great game Ian!

Game 3 – Matthew (Eldar) Vs Lucas (Dark Eldar)

As there was a point reduction my list became

Troops
2 Tactical Squads – Powerfist, Meltagun, Missile launcher, in Rhino w/ Extra Armor

George’s List was (As I remember)

HQ
Pedro Cantor
Space marine Chapter Master – power weapon
Elite
Dreadnought – multimelta, dreadnought close combat weapon
2 Tactical Terminators: 10 Terminators each – Assault Cannon, Cyclone Missile launchers, Chainfist
Troops
2 Tactical Squads – Flamers, Missile launcher, Power Weapon

George went first deploying his tactical marines on the very edge of his deployment at the center of the table. I deployed my 3rd tactical squad (Rhino less) thru combat Squads placing them near my counter another tactical squad in Rhino facing his tactical squad guarding his objective.

First turns came, George marching in his Dreadnought and two full squads of terminators glistening with weapons of mass carnage and death with Pedro cantor no less. A light From the Sky signaled the end as his Chapter Master called in an Orbital Strike luckily it deviated placing a crater near nowhere. I rolled in the rest of the army, Vindicators positioning to decimate his Tactical squads, Landraider waiting for a hole in the ranks to blunder into, another rhino with a full squad. My Chapter Answered back with my own Orbital Strike, but again placing a large crater nowhere! My Vindicators made Short work of the tactical marines in front after two thunderous shots only 2 survived the Chapter Master and the Sergeant. Space marine with Plasma Cannon was taking pot shots at terminators Vaporizing 2 in the process not enough to force him a morale test.

2nd turn More marching on George side than firing. I rushed my Rhino forward up the hill, head long into his battle lines, popping smoke of course. More Decimating shots from my Vindis to little or no effect due to cover.


3rd turn George marched his Terminators again then ran them to get into the fray faster, he also moved his untouched 10 tactical marines up the hill to assault my rushing rhino, good thing the Emperor was with me, for the Rhinos was just shaken, Space marine Chapter Master and Sergeant hurriedly ran for cover. I positioned my Emperor Protects Rhino back down the hill disembarking the squad, and drove my Emperor Doesn’t Favor You Rhino just at the tip of the hill, immobilizing it with a 1, disembarking a squad. Also walking my Combat squad up the hill for some HTH action. Rushed my Landraider up the center of the board disembarking my Assault terminators within assault range of the 10 man terminator squad. My Landraider took a multimelta shot against the dreadnought with no effect. More shots came from my Vindicators Stunning his Dreadnought while dotting the landscape of some craters. My 2 tactical squads made quick work of his tactical squad, like rain, bullets from bolters, energy weapons and melta weapons reduced the 10 man squad to a man, my combat squad finished it with a melta shot, reducing the sergeant to a pile of slag!

Assault Phase: My Assault Terminators Assaults the Terminator Squad and clipping the sergeant and Chapter Master. Pedro Cantor contributed to the fight via his Inspiring Aura giving my opponent 1+ attacks. The chapter Master Swung first killing 1 of my Lightning claw terminator; my 2 terminators with Lightning claw strikes back, killing 3-4? Terminators, Initiative 1 came up and thunder hammers and powerfist exchanged blows, I won combat but Pedro Cantor meddled again for He made the squads stubborn, luckily(or Unluckily) George rolled 11 on both his terminators and Chapter master’s morale check that made them ran, letting me consolidate near my Landraider.

4th Turn. As George saw his troop choices decimated he opted for the draw, walking his terminators and launching a hail of bolter fire my way. I answered back with my Vindicators and Plasma Cannon, immobilizing his Dreadnought and obliterating some of his termies but first hiding my marines to the cover of their respective Rhino’s. The lone marine with a melta weapon upon witnessing the death of his combat squad marched forward, opened fired with his weapon and proceeded to assault the terminators, alas he will be missed!(Not for his stupidity but for Gallantry against insurmountable odds).

5th turn. George taps out, a tactical withdraw was the best recourse. Great game George!

Game 10 – Kyuzo (CSM-Black Legion) Vs Henri(SW-Iron Wolves)
Mission: 1000pts Capture and Control
Deployment: Spearhead
Result: Draw! Both objectives contested

This is supposed to be a rematch of similar sized armies Kyuzo and Henri fielded last time at the Battle Bunker, with a similar result on a different Mission. Maybe we should play out the other mission and deployment (Seize Ground, Dawn of War) for a tiebreak? LOL.

Game 11 – Battle Captain (SM-Luna Wolves) Vs Lucas(Dark Eldar)
Mission: 1000pts Seize Ground - 4 Counters
Deployment: Pitched Battle
Result: Battle Captain wins 2-0 1-contested

Early in the game day, we were greeted by Balian, checking up on the HGR action.
As another Mini GT grew near, the Overall best of the last years HGR Tourney (Marty) came and saw the Brood was growing with new players. Patrick also checked the games. He’ll be back next week and Marty too to participate in a little HGR gaming action.
