Turn one.... The Templars having girded themselves for war against the elements of pure chaos find themselves quickly beset b the presence of the great unclean one himself. Within striking distance the beast can not as yet assault... Much to his own doom as the suffers two three wounds from the emplaced squad and Predator Annihilator.

Turn Two Begins fresh with a surge from the Land Raider Crusader towards Daemons moving up the left flank. The deployment of the Terminators and a Chaplain with the Help of the Emperor's Champion quickly turns the tide against the Chaos scum.

Turn three... I think. After the Great Unclean ones struggling ineptitude with his own unwieldy blade (Failing to hit on six attacks against the Vindicator that only moved 6 inches) He lumbers forward to try again after the mighty demolisher cannon fires and destroys a horde of Khorne Daemons that would have lived if the champion of Nurgle had destroyed the the mighty Vindicator "Foe Hammer" sooner.

Elsewhere, the battle rages hard and heavy as the Terminators and Champion find themselves becoming mired in the blood of daemons even as they themselves are slowly whittled down Marine by Marine...

Felling the might Vindicator "For Hammer" the Champion of Nurgle finds himself beset by the surviving Space Marines. Wind whipping his head band like a lash about his head, Afro Space Marine bloodies is blade on the foul daemon in concert with his brothers as the beast struggles to hold upright with only one wound remaining. Yet it was Brother Dietrich, inducted into the Deathwatch, with his power fist who finally slew the beast. The Squad now four strong moves on knowing the fight is far from over.

The battle nearly won, the daemon's are surging forward eager to claim more blood for the diabolical masters before banishment into the maelstrom of the warp once more. Back to Back the Champion and Chaplain fight their last against the Daemonic horde about them. The Chaplain falls first leave the Champion to stand alone... Before he falls though the sound of Jet packs fill the air as the Assault Marines move to engage and aid their brother. It is to late and for naught.... As the Champion brings the mighty black blade down and ends one more of the foul god nurgles champions life, he is quickly over run by the foul beings minions.... The Champion is avenged....



The Battle ends with the fading of the light... Damon's die by bolter and blade before their Corporeal forms fade back into the warp leaving dead heroes and new ones to take their place.... Afro walks with the remainder of his squad... the blood of daemon's boiling off his power sword even as Brother Dietrich flexes his power fist awaiting the next battle... There are always more to fight....

Forgeworld GUO - NICE!

Justin has a very nice army to play against. Especially with those forgeworld pieces. My only concession to forgeworld on this army list was my terminators storm shields and shoulder pads.

That Great Unclean one is nice. Ive got one as well. I see your Templars were able to recover from the butchering they took from Prince William of the Wretched Biles' Chaos forces. Good looking army Justin ,and Mike...well you know your shit looks good. Especially hung from the side of Cruentus.

Alas Brother Fritz could not join your crusade because...

Soooo wrong;) We definitely need a rematch.

Great battle report and nice pics! It's always nice to see alot of painted figs on the board!

For the Emperor!
