FINALLY got round to some post lockdown 2nd Ed, and it was immense. Well worth the wait and am now doomed to collect loads of 40k armies.
My Stealer Cult lined up against some Imperial Guard who had, they believed, been sent to sweep up a beligerent PDF regiment on some back water toilet.
Things looked bad for the Gribblies at the start, with the Guard bombardment and tanks taking their toll and my own Thudd gun exploding the first time it fired. My guys did their best to close the gap, luckily the cover available spared me getting too minced up. My Purestrains hugged a hill and kept a low profile and edged their way toward the squishy humans, getting them all up in their grill was my main aim. Luckily a truly abysmal round of shooting from the guard let my dudes close the gap and start removing faces.
The tanks were still a real problem until my Sentinel stomped around a refinery and with a scream of devotion to his four armed emperor, started smashing up the battlefield, first sending a chimera flipping onto an overhead cat walk, and then blowing up a Russ. The hole in the fire power meant my purestrains could emerge and start munching their way through the right flank, as my left flank stormed a guard held bunker and managed to break them. The Stealers shredded the last Russ and suddenly the guard found themselves swarmed. Their flamers were still putting down Xenos but it wasnt quite enough, and finally my Stealers got their many hands on the Guard commander, and left him as chewed up mulch in the red dirt.
Was so good to play some 40k again, 2nd Ed is going to see some reall love here!
