Diplomacy Campaign - Ken Snow

My apologies for my absence over the past few months, which were due to illness and then work commitments. I should be back this month unless I am struck with the black death, or an attack by a Greater Demon of Nurgel. There are several encounters to decide which are detailed in the Diplomacy Campaign Report, and I will be bringing all of the troops required to fight these battles to this months meeting.

The encounters are:

Hopefully we can get most of these settled one way or another so be ready to fight next Saturday.

Battle Reports

 Manoj Prasot (Dark Angels) vs Nick(Ultra Marines)

After initial deployment, Belial surveyed the paper weight force and laughed gleefully. Why you may ask? because the Smurfs in their transports charged forwards piecemeal. in the first turn Nicks terminators disembarked from the land raider and killed the scouts Belial angered by this destruction ordered the heavy weapons of the bike squad to fire (nothing survived).Ultra marine bikes and assault marines fell to concentrated bolter fire and bloody assaults from the command squad and a tactical squad. The second turn saw the land raider destroy a bike, and bolter fire from the Smurfs destroyed an attack bike. My retaliation after having my bikes assault was to cut down three marines from a sergeant with a power sword. Both rhinos where destroyed as well as a land speeder that had destroyed my tanks auto cannon. the third turn, the Smurf command squad ran for the land raider and drive straight at me. the whirlwind fires frag missiles at my marines, hahaha. Belials reply was to order the devastators to destroy the whirlwind and the tactical marines to wipe out Smurf marines enmass, then to cut down the remainder in assault. O the fourth the Smurfs command squad leap out and attack Belial, fools. The papa Smurf struck and caused 1 wound to which Belial and the rest of marines then eradicated the Smurf command squad with the loss of 7 Dark Angel Marines.The 5th turn saw the final Smurf run forward and shoot missing. only to be shoot between the eyes by chief Librian Exodus

Wade (Orks) vs Andrew (Lizardmen)

Turn 1 - After deployment all the orcs made a steady advance, with the arrer boys fired on the unit of Saurus warriors , but did nothing. The lizardmen advanced, while his "bird" flew into my chariot and did nothing to it while one of the skinks was slain. Turn 2 - My main unit of orc boyz charged a unit of skinks, took out a few skinks. The lizardman Stegadon rammed my chariot and it went flying destroyed by the impact hits. Turn 3 - a unit of biguns ran down a Saurus unit. While the main unit was hacking away at the skinks. My arrer boys kept on shooting the Stegadon killing three skinks. Turn 4 - my main unit was attacked from behind by a Slann mage priest killing 9 boys and my warlord, but only a unit of arrer boys and goblins fled. It came to the magic phase and my shaman cast brain busta on the Slann. he need anything but a 6, but he got it and as he had the heart of woe causing an 8' explosion killing the rest of the orcs and a lot of his men. Turn 5 - all that was left of the lizard men was a Kroxigor and a Stegadon. all of my units charged. I killed the Kroxigor but my ogres fled and where run down. Turn 6 -  I charged the last ste gadon but it fled. only a few inches from the edge when it started it ran off the table.
