Graham and I had the chance to play a small game of 40k tonight and as a game it’s still proving to be a ton of fun. My Blood Angels led by a Thunder Hammer-armed Terminator with the Black Rage took on his Space Sharks, led by a Lightning Claw-armed Terminator. Here’s my force:

Graham had Tyberos the Red Wake, a Tactical Squad, a Catapractii Terminator squad and a Leviathan Dreadnought (coming to 47Pwr and 3 CPs). We played using the Retrieval Mission with each objective worth 3VPs and the usual points for Linebreaker etc. Here’s the battlefield with our deployment:
The game was a bloodbath with Graham wiping me off of the board on Turn 5. He had two Terminators and the very impressive Leviathan class Dreadnaught left at the end. I barely dented it (4 wounds) with a charge from my Terminators. My Captain failed the charge against it on the turn he arrived and he was my only real hope of taking it down dealing an impressive 4 Damage (thanks to the Artisan of War Warlord trait).
Despite being tabelled it was an excellent game. Time to start adding more Angels to my force!
Until next time,
Owen
