Blood Angels vs Imperial Guard & Sisters of Battle
Clash of Titans

The arrival of the Sororitas at the Imperial Guard encampment was not welcomed...

"...I don't care if your men have to dig graves with their helmets and bayonets.  The dead of Villareal's force deserve more respect than being picked apart by coyotes and vultures," the Canoness snarled.

"My soldiers have had NO sleep, NO food, and are exhausted from preparing for the siege against the BA 3rd Company.  Forcing them to abide by your sacraments will just get them killed."  The Captain of the Imperial Guard tipped his flask, and set the polished metal container on the table. 

The Canoness' eyes followed the Captain's hand, surveying the contents of the table: the poisonous alcohol, the gambling paraphernalia, the alien souvenirs, and the pornography.  She was revolted by this man who would call himself a leader.  With a sweep of her bolter, she cleared the tabletop and retracted her arm with the gun barrel leveled at the Captain's head.

"When you meet the Emperor, you will have much explaining to do," she hissed.

"If you think you'll make it out of this camp alive after that shell casing hits the ground, then by all means...pull the trigger.  There's a lot more of us than there are of you..."  Comically, the Captain looked at his fingers and began counting.  "Believe me, you won't want to meet the Emperor in the shape my men will leave you and your Order."

The Canoness paused, ground her teeth and lowered the rifle.  Her stern veneer was replaced with a smirk.  "Have it your way, Captain.  I would prefer to die in battle."  She motioned to her Celestian guard and left the tent, allowing a frigid rush of night air to whip inwards.

The Captain muttered a few choice epithets, nursed the last dregs from his flask, and leaned over to his Lieutenant.  He whispered for a few seconds while capping the shiny bottle, and then the both of them laughed heartily as the Lieutenant dealt two hands of cards.  They seemed oblivious to the fact that tomorrow they would attempt to stand down the rogue Blood Angels who were destroying every Imperial outpost they came across.  Surely, they wouldn't have a Titan to match the Guard's own???

Jeff Chua, Brian Lasater & Greg D. (Putting the "ack" in Black Rage): [Jeremy] This scenario will showcase nearly every Blood Angel model Jeff owns, if not all of them.  Besides that, we get to see his Reaver Titan in action.  Meanwhile, I think most of Brian's tanks are making an appearance on the enemy's side this game.  Brian has played Space Marines before, but the Blood Angel rules will be new to him.  Using the Black Templar rules for his Saracens in previous SM games may have lulled him into a false sense of morale security when playing this variation.  Greg is trying 40k for the first time with this setup.  Hopefully we can recruit him into the group, but I think beginning with such a huge battle will make his head spin...maybe we shouldn't tell him how much all this stuff costs...

Ben Durbin, Andy Baran & Jeremy Baldridge (Army surplus waiting to happen): [Jeremy] While there are three objectives to take and hold, my experience against Jeff's Blood Angels tells me that the BA will ignore the objectives in favor of getting into assault with our side.  Near the final turns they'll consolidate where they need to be.  That means, for the most part, we're going to sit and shoot and try to take out as many numbers as possible--rather than make any advances of our own and waste firepower.  This is my trial game with the Sisters of Battle, as I'm borrowing Ben's army to see if I want to start investing in said force.  Since my opponent (Greg) is a new player to the game entirely--hopefully that handicap will give me some opportunity to see what the Sisters can do.
