Planetstrike against Chaos

Opening Firestorm...

Firestorm salvo collapses the void shield on the third hit. Deathwing assault first turn, lands all squads safely. Belial lands directly next to the demon prince. The assault squad has a mishap and is placed in the corner.  

Laser burn stratgem empolyed causes instant death to an obliterator, some plauge bearers are killed and the rhino is shaken

After causing one wound with hammer of wrath, the demon prince, takes seven strength wounds at AP2 or better. His demonic 5++ results in five saves! Papa nurgle loves his children!

Helldrake arrives and flames. Oblits cause 4 plasma wounds to the termies, but inspired by the demonic heroics, they make 3, invul saves! Prince Belitras tries to summon but fails, the plauge bearers also fail their Psy-test and charge after the front
charger is killed by overwatch.

The spawn mutate to have poison, but only get 1 extra attack! the resulting combat sees two spawn fall!

Having survived the Deathwing knights, the demon cant withstand the power of a second volley. The juggerlord challenges belial, but wounds himself with the demon weapon while belial causes two wounds.

The Darktalon enters play and opens fire on the oblits killing one. The terminators charge and the sergents power sword wrecks the rhino, while the terminators in bottom left fail another charge.

Belial finishes off the juggerlord Ingorso, and heads for the void shield.

Running out of options the Nights Lords make a desperate charge but can only kill one terminator, while several of their number fall.

The herald of nurgle slays two of the terminators with his demon weapon.

The Darktalon wipes the squad of cultists, and Belial's squad having killed the final Oblit, takes the Void shield.

The slap fight continues...

Sgt Darrow's squad get in on the act flaming and charging the Night lords, while the terminators stick around for security.

The Dark Angels are firmly in control of the engagement.

The helldrake tries to get the last word but must hover to do so... many marines die as a result.

The terminators charge the 'Drake blowing it sky high. While the Darktalon vectors in for the final kill.

Victory to the Dark Angels.

Well I must say that went alot more like the fluff than any game I have ever played. Planetstrike is when terminators really come into their own. It'll be interesting to see if I can get that Castellum fortress up and running... Defense may prove much more challenging. That being said my opponents dice really let him down. Had he gotten off a summoning and some his turn one attacks gone better it might have been a different game. Looking forward to a Night Lords rematch!
