Space Marines All The Way! A few weeks ago in GW Belfast I watch a game between four Space Marine Players.
On one team were the Dark Angels and Salamanders. On the other team were the Space Wolves and Black Templars. The game was about 1000pts and the object was to destroy the H.Q of the other player. If the H.Q was destroyed then the army was out of the game.
Within a few turns the Black Templar was wipped out by the Salamanders fire power. Amature! The Space Wolves player on the other hand was doing better but still poorly. The Dark Angels were mopping the floor with him. Then he sent in his Wolf Lord.
The Wolf Lord faced down the Dark Angels, holding his own for ages and finally took out the Dark Angel Captain. He was standing on one wound, bloody and desperate, ready to take on the remaining Salamanders. Their captain moved in to face the Wolf Lord.
It was an epic fight. The two titans clashed in a mighty duel. In the end the Salamander Captain crushed the injured Wolf Lord but not without great cost. The defiant Space Wolf brought the captain down to one wound and before the fight he was on three.
Man of the Match: The Wolf Lord deserves this award. He will truly be welcomed in the halls of his ancestors.
