On the planet North Pole, the bomber of Santa Klaus and Santa Kraut is shot down by the Grinch, a terrible Necron Lord. 

A team of squats is sent to retrieve the 2 proud pilots while the terrible Necrons are on their way too.

.::Special rule::.

• The Necron and the Squat deploy on both sides.
• Moving within 3" of a Santa take control of the Santa.
• Whoever controls more Santa wins.
• You can move Santa out of the map on your border
• Uncontrolled Santa move d6" in a random direction (standard scatter dice)

With the 7th turn finished, the Necrons were getting back in control. The squat got quite a beating but stayed in, thanks to lucky rolls. 

The Santas are back to Rain-Dear base, and ready to drop more gift to the Necrons in this war.

A very funny game.

Kill Team: battle report (free play, not campaign)

On the desolated planet of Outdoor, in the Table Region, a group of Space Marines have heard the story of the mighty dreadnought who fought an army.
Meanwhile, the Grey Knight chapter were monitoring any activity around the remnant of an old dreadnought, making sure nobody would retrieve its wreck.

So, here we are, 100pt Kill Team, with the objective to hold as many objectives as possible by the end of the game.
For this game I played the space marines, all of them using the Primaris trait. They have 2 hit points but a lower selection of weapons.

The battle field. 

The 4 objectives were set 6inch from the center toward the corners.

Grey Knight Kill Team

Sergeant, Grey Knughts inbound!

The space marine deployment

Up until the end I forgot to take pictures.
In a nutshell, the sergeant moved forward and became a bullet magnet. He died on the second turn.
The Grey Knight forgot all his psychic actions but 1.
The Grey Knight flamer died on turn 2, for once he was able to shoot once.

A zealot gladius GK has charged a Space Marine with a knife. Who'll win?

The knife!

The last action. 2 Space Marines contested a GK objective. It ended up as a stalemate. 

Results?
1 objective each, 1 contested, 1 without anybody.
The Primaris are extremely sturdy but not enough variation in weapon. The GK lost only 1 melee (but the most memorable as the melee specialist of the GK died vs a primaris grunt)
And NEVER, EVER, put your sergeant alone in the front line.


Cheers!
