yes you all read it right. i was playing warhammer 40K at the local Games workshop by my house. i was playing my marines. he one of the staff was using store eldar.

now take into account his army greatly outnumbered mine even though i was using an all infantry based army but i still won by 947 out of 1000 points.

my army looked like this.

1 force captain with power weapon and storm bolter.
5 man command squad Close combat weapons and bolt pistols on most with a melta gun and a sarge with power fist and plasma pistol.

2 10 man tactical squads, both with rocket launchers. one with a plasma rifle and a sarge with a power first and plasma pistol the other with a sarge with a combi-flamer.

and lastly 5 assault marines with 1 flamer and 1 combi flamer.

all my units but the assault marines had inflitrate <.< though i think i may have done my math wrong somehow. i was in a rush trying to build the list.

his force came up to 2 full sized squads of guardians with warlocks with conceal. 1 with a eldar missile launcer one with a scatter laser.

3 vypers with scatter lasers in a squad.

and 2 vibro cannons.

1 farseer with basic sword and shuirken pistol as well as fortune was all i saw for psyhic powers

P.S. also a 6 man unit of warp spiders <.< that he forgot to use or bring out in the whole game...

as i said greatly out numbered but sadly all his weapons gave me armor saves *phews as shi made all but 3 of hir army*

it was a greedy and nasty fight but what was said was by round 2 (i got to go first) I had both guardian squads assaulted (me attacking them) his vibro cannons down to 1 usable left. and lastly 2 of the 3 vypers were gone.

one of his guardian squads i ran down the other ran off the board. all of this my friend, was done by turn 3.

we were playing a secure and control mission but after wiping out his army he had nothing left to hold objectives and i basically won by default with an overwhelming slaughter of a success.

In the end we had a nice chat told me he was amazed at how effect my marines got in close with him and just ate him alive. i helped him out and told him he made only one mistake to consider and that was holding back on moving up and assaulting me and shooting on the second turn. if he had he may have turned the game around right then and there.

He agreed we shared some laughs had a blast and then i bought him a bag of chips at the local dollar store and some for me so we could enjoy some after battle munchies. for the first time using my marines in just about a year I think i did pretty well. *smiles and nods* makes me want to make up a force commander in the way i had him tooled out. as the FC i was using for that fight was a space marine vet who seemed to just fit my needs.
