After spending some time and effort painting three – nearly four – of my new Primaris up to some form of nice standard, I thought it was about time I played my second ever game of 40K.
As I am still learning everything, and there seems to be a lot to learn, we decided to just use what came in the new box to keep things simple. I will learn all about lists and points at some point in the future – right now I am learning who does what well and who just sucks.
Instead of having my Interceptors drop from space in turn two, this time I started with them on the board. They killed a lot of the zombies quickly, which helped in the early stages of the game. It went a bit wrong for them when they got charged by the Lord of Contagion and he killed them all…
Once again, the Bloat Drone got into melee with the Hellblasters and kept them occupied for the entire fight. I have learned that they don’t do so well in melee; next time, they’re going to blast things from afar and stay out of the way a bit more.
I have to give a special mention to the Intercessor Sargent, who managed to fend off both the Noxious Blightbringer (The bell dude!) and the Lord of Contagion for two whole rounds before being turned into a smear on the floor.
Needless to say, Chaos were once again victorious, though I feel it was a lot closer this time than last time. I had a lot of fun and look forward to round three, where I am going to flush the Bloat Drone down the toilet! I also look forward to being able to put the Black Hands with the Primaris and seeing what happens then!
Heretic Deb!
