Grudge Match Battle Report #1:
The Bitter rivalry of Dark Angels and Space Wolves is deep rooted in the fact that Lion'O O'Johnson punched Russ out on some ancient battlefield, apparently the argument was about some misapproprations by O'Johnson as the banker in a game of Monopoly.
Leslie gave a brief overlook of the battle, seeing "crybabies" on the horizon she rushed back into the hyper combo attack and prepared to show the "dorkangels" what real fighting was like.
I honestly went into this game thinking "Monty's an ass and even if he pulls some master generalsmanship out of his ass Wolf girls are twice the terminators Deathwing are." So the game was a forgone conclusion in my book. Even though norm stole my iniatives I was ready for an easy game.
During the first turn I lost a handful of wolf girls on foot, including an assault cannon girl and a storm shield, who'd have thought that terminators shot so much? During my own turn my Girls did their best to grind down the Crybabies with their own hail of shots, the Rune priestess added a bolt of lighting to the fussilade but it only flashed harmlessly off the Deathwing Dreadnought. The Hyper-Combo Attack steared directly toward Monty's raider Leslie was clearly trying to goad Belial into a pointless match of chicken.
The second turn saw some more girlminators dying from storm bolters and assault cannons and the Hyper-Combo being peppered with tons of fire, assault cannons, multi-meltas richoceted off Leslie's ride as it thundered forward. In my own turn the Hyper-Combo swerved at the last second pulling off a teeth griding turn at full speed heading straight for Monty's Deathwing squads lead by his Interragator chaplain. The Wolf girls squads on the corner of the boards were taking the brunt of the punishment being reduced to only 2 girls in each squad, but they continued their efforts to grind down the Deathwing. It was actually at this point were the game seemed to be getting away from me, I hardly took down many deathwingers and the girls had been mauled quite a bit more and had started the game with 5 less termies. But next turn I would be evening the odds...
Turn three was begun with Belial's Raider bursting open and a squad of assault terminators running straight into the Runepriestess and her Terminator Entorouge. The master of the Deathwing cut down 2 Wolf Girls but the rest of his Wingtards didn't do too much and the Wolf Girls counter attack almost killed off the squad.
But the thunder of Belial's measly charge was about to be blown away, by Leslie and her own Assault Wolf Girls, the Hyper-Combo attack disgorged the girls into the heart of Monty's line Leslie leading the charge with a bellowing "Who the hell do you think I am!?". 9 Deatwing were cut down in a matter of moments, Leslie accounting for 5 herself. The only one left was the Interragator Chaplain who stood his ground against the onslaught, but he was trampled beneath terminator boots.In the meantime the surviving wolf girls near the ever advancing space marine statue managed to wreck Belial's Land Raider Wreckbecka stranding him far from the rest of his troops.
During turn 4 the Deffwing dread and remaining Termies managed to take Leslie's squad down to only 2 Wolfgirls. Meanwhile Belial's remaining termie's were able to kill the Runepriestess's squad and Belial was able to kill the Runepriestess himself. Leslie pushed the remaining wolf girls inside the hyper-combo as she moved off to secure her personal confrontation with the now alone Belial.
Turn 5 began with the remaining wolf girls near the last remaining Deathwing squads being finally killed, the Wingers moved up taking hold of their objective and moving tword the Hyper-Combo Attack which was sitting directly on-top of the middle objective. Through a torrent of firepower and power fists the Hyper-Combo Remained undamaged but couldn't move and give up the central objective this late in the game so It remained still, waiting for the Wolf Girl Venerable Dread to arrive and save it.
Leslie finally caught sight of Belial and the two stared each other down as Leslie swaggered up to Belial, in a flurry of motion the outcome was made clear though Belial failed to wound Leslie it was Leslie's Powerfist axe attacks that did in the little Belial.
With baited breath Monty and I rolled to see if the game would end, each of us holding 1 objective and neither of us wanting to suffer a draw on a grudge match.
Turn 6 was interesting as The Deff Dread and Wingers hammered against the hide of the Hyper-Combo attack, immobilizing the mighty tank but the Deff Dread soon saw Leslie rounding the back of the tank and heading twords it. The Wolf Queen was mighty pissed and flug herself at the Dread screaming "I HATE TANKS! TANKS KILLED MY PARENTS!" As her trusty axe Fangoria rained a downpour of strength 9 hits onto the Dread it seemed unfased still standing much to Leslie's frustration and keeping her from finishing off the wingers on the central objective. With a sigh of relief the game went into Dotechatouple Secret Overtime.
Turn 7 was the last no matter what and the plucky wingers huffed and puffed but the big bad wolf's tank wouldn't fall down leaving the game still tied at the end of Monty's turn, with the Wolf Dread moving in to finish off the last 2 wingers. Leslie hefted her axe again, cleared her throught and clearly repeated: "I hate tanks, tanks killed my parents." This time the mighty dreadnought was toppled under her attacks but it left her too far to assault the last of the deathwingers, so it was up to the hyper-combo and the Dread to finish off the last few termies.
It was a very close turn but eventually the wingers were dead and the shot clock went of as the game ended.
Final Score: Wings: 1, Woofz: 2
Monty's fans are stunned! There'll be no party at the Montydome!
It was a close game right to the end, (Except for the parts with Leslie) and Monty shook my hand and told me he'd had pleanty of fun during our game, but he was still the biggest idiot ever and wasn't half as tall or cool as I am.
Though I could only agree with his self-depricating and plain facts about me I revealed I too had a lot of fun against his little wings. Though now they were MY little wings.
