Battle Report and Video: Grey Knights

This is my third attempt at a battle report video, and I have to say that while I took a lot more footage, most of it was tossed. I think its back to the keep it simple stupid when it comes to videos, and then go from there.

Once again, I am posting all videos to their own page, for easier access. Check the tabs above for other videos I am doing.

As for the game, Konrad Curze was nice enough to allow me to video the game again, so that I can get practice.

The lists themselves on my side was an updated Grey Knights list, with 3 full squads of purifiers, couple strike squads, 2 purgation squads, a Grand Master and Librarian. Loads of psycannons in this one.

On the Night Lords side of things, it was the same version as last video, with a heavy heavy dose of plasma. Chaos Terminators with combi-plasmas, two lash sorcerors (one in terminator armour), 2 full 10 man chaos marine squads wmissle launchers, a couple with meltas and combi meltas in rhinos, 2 chosen squads loaded with plasma, and 3 units of havocs (1 with autocannons, 2 fully loaded with plasma).

The game was very much decided in two rounds. Round one chaos moved forward to unload, and the counter charge sent purifiers directly into close combat at the end of the first round. Round 2 mostly reinforced what happened in round 1, with Grey Knight Grand Master and Librarian charging into the fray, and literally cleaning house.

From there the battle pushed forward into the Night Lord base in one final push at the end of round 5.

The Grey Knight Librarian easily took mvp, as he was able to save a squad of purifiers with no cover from rapid fire plasmas. This was the final straw that broke the Night Lords advance. Yes I was lucky, 3 out of 4 plasma hits were saved on a 6+ from The Shrouding psychic power. Once again when a forward unit of purifiers was cut off and surrounded, both the Shrouding and Sanctuary saved the squad of purifiers from instant demise. (gave a 3+ cover save, and stopped one 10 man unit from assaulting with a failed assault).
