George's first ever 40k game and he pulls out a fully painted force of Imperial Fists that puts a lot of players (including yours truly) to shame! Game was close in its early turns, with George drawing first blood with a precise hit from his Dreadnought on one of the Black Legion's CSM squad on Rhino. But the latter turns became difficult for the Imperium where a combination of terrain and numbers overwhelmed the sons of the False Emperor. Hopefully the game proved a learning experience in the right direction for George.
