Massacre loss

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Not quite sure how this all went wrong other than two turns of god awful dice and a Tactical squad who choose to hide behind the bike sheds smoking rather than turn up until they could jump out of their burning Rhino.

First two turns I had amazing dice and nothing was turning up for Dave, his Lemon Russ tanks were slowly dribbling on. Then my newly promoted Epistolary Librarian turned up. Zooming on with his Jump Pack blazing he rushed over to a building containing a the lone possessed Champion and a couple of squads of heretics. Run like little girls heretics he screamed unleashing "The fear of the darkness". Unfortunately for him he got a migraine instead and blindly ran into the lone possessed Power Fist. Seriously need to start using other HQ choices. After that things just wouldn't go my way and the army began to crumple under the pressure.

Losses:

1 VIII Company Dreadnought
1 Annihilator
1 Whirlwind
4 IV Company Devastator Marines
2 IX Company Devastator Marines
5 VIII Company Assault Marines
1 VI Company Veteran Sgt
12 VI Company Tactical marines
1 VI Company Rhino

1 Epistolary Librarian

So fittingly the player who has caused the most casualties to "The sons" is the man who finishes of the last foot slogging marine in the fourth. Captain Arisis, Chaplain Ortotha, Apothacary Damius and Chapter Standard Miclaus have a lot of explaining to do as to why they didn't even turn up before the entire Battle Company was reduced to a few vials of precious, precious, gene-seed
