Blood Angels Vs Flesh Tearers
1700pt battle with a B.A. Master


 


I didnt actually fight in this battle,but i did see it!

Flesh tearer's player Vs Blood Angels Veteran(he 'trained' me in my blood angely arts!).

This was a battle between the new blood and the old.The right for the spot of being called the alpha male!My blood angels mentor doesnt often fight with his blood angels,anymore he fiddles around with his new imperial guard army!

The flesh tearers player was new,but getting good VERY fast with the help of a few other players!He would have been able to challenge me and come away with a victory probably with ease!Though i personally never fought him i had seen a few of his battles and knew what he could do!This match was going to be GREAT!

Terrain:There were 4 buildings place in the mid-flanks of the board and then a grave yard in the middle.There was a bridge and a trees next to it on the right flank.There was a tower on the left flank.

Deployment:The Flesh tearers deployed first and stuck everything behind buildings.My cunning friend saw this and deployed everything on the side of his buildings meaning he had to come out to move and if he did he would get blow to pieces(this was an extreme factor in the game!).

Turn 1-Flesh tearers the speeder shot out the side 24 inches.It couldnt shoot.That was his turn,lol!

Turn 1-Blood Angels the honor guard moved up behidn the death company as the tactical squads stayed put and the speeders went to engage the other two speeders in ariel combat!The speeders zig sagegd across the sky.The blood angel pilot was trapped,he had been in the clouds and when he puleld out had the flesh tearer right on his tail!With a quick reckless thought he hit the throttle stalling the speeder in mid-air and using side thrusters to manouver out from being hit.Immediately turning the thrusters back on and jetting towards the enemy craft,shooting it down with a multi melta blast!

Turn 2 Flesh Tearers-The last speeder moved into position on the blood angels speeder.Taking aim the sniping speeders shot missed as the last blood angel speeder felt the heat and hit the thrusters on his speeder at the last second!

Turn 2 Blood Angels-The remaining flesh tearer seeders served desprately but was lost in the clouds.When coming out he looked up and saw the blood angel pilot taking a nose dive strait down into his jet.Serving at the last second,stalling the speeder and then flipping it with the thrusters and going upward annihilating the speeder with his own multi melta blast!Other then that the DC and honor gaurd needed one mroe turn to get into close combat.

Turn 3 Flesh Tearers-The Sanguinary High preist made a bold move and pulled out of his position to try and charge the honor guard.But the emporer was not with him today as his squad managed to be off the charge by 4 inches( a newbies mistake,one which he would pay dearly for!).The veterans were tried of being copped up and the entire army mobilized!Not shooting.

Turn 3 Blood Angels-The young 'un was gettin fiesty!The tactical squads jumped into the rhino's and shot towards the flesh tearers lines!The preditor annihilator poured fire into the veterans taking down 3,the devatstators annihilated a squad of veterans with this plasma blasts and missle shots and lascannon fire!The honor guard split from the DC.This i personally thought was a bad choice,until i saw what he was doing!The tactical squads hit one of his veteran assualt squads with the death company,while the honor guard hit the other!Sanguinary High preist Malakant blew off one marines head with a plasma bolt while another tasted his blade first hand!two more fell to his hacking frenzy!The entire squad was wasted,as where the other veteran assualt squad!They BOTH slammed into the death company with either side!

Turn 4 Flesh Tearers-The Sanguinary High preist was stunned!His army had been annihilated in 1 turn and all that was left were two tactical squads soon to be destroyed by firepower!Things were looking grim but the tactical squads gave fire into the death company only manageing to drop 4.The Sanguiniunary High Preist challenged his counterpart to a duel!The sword against teh claw!The lightning claws were extremely quick ont he high preists hands though Malakant managed to spin around hacking his arm away with his power sword and then leveling his plasma pistol to the High Preists head blowing it apart just after say,"Your a disgrace to the imperium."The chaplain ripped though the death company along with the honor gaurd and blood angels death company!

Turn 4 Blood Angels-The devastators ,land speeders,tactical squads,preditor annihilator gave hell into the tactical squads blowing away 14 marines!The tactical squad charged in,veteran sergants killing off the rest!

Game Over!Winer is:Bloooooooood Angels!

Well his experience really came through here.It was extremely risky to pull the move he did though it paid off!His deployment really wont the game for him!Restricting the opponents moves for 3 turns while his own honor agurd advanced and he laid a perfect assualt on his foe!I am but a tender foot to this mighty champion of a blood angel,I hope to learn more in the future.I hope to be half of what this player is as he is the stunning example of a sporstman and expert gamer!

I hope you all enjoyed this article as it was very fun to report.I hoped to give you a gimplse at a 6 year veterans point of veiw,how he handles a situation,and what his expert tactics where!
