Communication:
Brother Heidrun : “Scanner Report Wolf Brother”
Navigator: “Scanner shows Heavy Armor: 1 Land Raider , 2 vindicators and 2 Rhinos
- OK ‘ 1st Grey Hunter Pack and the Blood claws with me - We will see how sharp your CLAWS and FANGS are !!!.

Chaos moved in and took the first turn: as if expecting an attack-They deployed in a Mosaic style covering each others back from all directions making it difficult to hit the backside of thier armor. Wolf Priest Heidrun and the Blood Claws with the Grey Hunters in support Deployed near the Chaos tanks using Drop pods. (just in front of the side of one Vindicator and in front of the Rhino, behind us is the Landraider )
Hoping to blow them open. Wolf Priest Heidrun and the Blood Claws shot at the Vindicator successfully damaging its Battle Cannon , But the GHP failed to destroy the Rhino carrying the Chaos Marines .
The following turn saw the chaos deploying its infantry. 1 -5 man squad in power armour and a 3-man terminator squad from the Land Raider. Both units started to concentrate their firepower against the 1st GHP which was almost wiped out in the process with the help of Lascannons and Heavy bolters (5 marines was left) . Then chaos Terminator squad assaulted the remaining GHP and Slaugther started killing off all the Marines. BC expecting to destroy them with the assult -but the Terminators held their own . It took the BC 2 rounds of combat (lucky armour saves) before they were able to eliminate the terminators. It was a close call for the following couple of turns the timely arrival of Brother Sigurdr and the 2nd GHP saved the line from being broken – Lucky armor saves and deviations on part of the chaos heavy guns saved the blood claws.
Brother Sigurdr exchange shots with the chaos tanks for the following 2 turns and came out victorious disabling 2 tanks using his Assault cannon and the 2nd Grey Hunters Pack finishing off the immobilized Vindicator, The blood Claws destroyed the remaining chaos infantry – At this Time the Chaos tanks started to retreat and tried to regroup but with lucky shots the GHP changed the complexion of the game as they were able to immobilize or destroy these tanks including the Land Raider(destroyed by the Blood claws with a Meltagun).
After the last shots was fired there remained 2 tanks for World Eaters and a squad of chaos marines. While the wolves lost the 1st GHP and one Drop pod ( half of the new recruites blood claws and some of the 2nd GHP).
Will try to reconfigure my squads for smaller battles like this.

Had fun playing with Arvin . . .

Thanks Arvin
