So, my buddy Josh and I are playing Ultramarines vs the Ghosar Quintus genestealer cult! I have every unit from the Deathwatch: Overkill game laid out, and Josh is running a Captain with plasma pistol and power fist, a Terminator Librarian with force weapon and storm bolter, a five man tactical squad with chainsword/boltpistol sergeant and lascannon, a five man tactical squad with S/B seageant and missile launcher, and a razorback with twin-linked lascannon and storm bolter. We are matched in points almost down to the digit.
And it has been an interesting game thus far. I, as the genestealers, have not hit anything at all, and have been playing very much in character and hiding in the shadows. This hasn't been working out the best for me, but I'm determined to try. Josh, on the other hand, has been moving his units to the most advantageous positions he can, and destroying my units. Its all very bloody and exciting!
But not all has gone against me; in the last move of our game before having to pause until next weekend, Josh's terminator librarian has suffered a perilous peril of the warp, and died. The only unit he's lost from his army, and I didn't even kill it :( Well, lets hope that next weekend fairs better for me.
So then, till next week...
