|  First Batltle My First Battle was against Ultramarines, in an Urban setting. The board was 4’ by 6’ and we set up on opposing short ends. My army: HQ HSO Standard Bearer Medic Commissar Autocannon Sentinel support (Cadian Pattern) Troops JO w/Honorifica 4x lasguns 2 Squads- one with grenade launcher/ autocannon - one with Flamer Armored fist Squad with heavy bolter Elites Veterans with 2 meltas and one plasma Vet SGT with Power Fist Heavy Support Leman Russ –lascannon heavy Bolters Demolisher- lascannon plasma cannons I am not going to give a detailed list of his side, but I got stomped pretty bad. After the points were tallied he came up with a major victory. I learned a lot though, especially to always check the rule book, he hoodwinked me a couple of times, but such is life. I am now moving away from any thoughts of taking more than one leman russ. I definitely need more infantry to bog down opposing units. Some highlights were eliminating his Terminators with my HQ squad and destroying a chimera with my Vet SGT! Lowlights were losing my Demolisher to glancing hit on turn 2 and My Russ’ battle cannon on turn 2. This is obviously not my Ideal list; I wanted to play so I opted to go to war with the Army I have and not the Army I wish I had!

| Corporal  | hmmmm, I see your problem. IG are known for large amounts of bodies and if you only take the bare mininum, then they can get wiped out very fast. Leman Russes would obviosly be bullet magnets but maybe if you lessen the points on one then you can add more troops. On your vet squad I say drop the power fist since it probably won't help against assualt orientated troops (terminators, assualt marines, ect). I hope you'll have better luck next time

| Thanks, I plan on adding an entire Platoon with 4 full squads. I am still not entirely sure how I will fit them out with special and heavy weapons yet. Of course shelling out another 70+ bucks for the Infantry is not the most appealing of prospects.
