I played a 1250pt battle against my brother, Neil, on Sunday... CREAMED him. I got off to a bad start, losing my HQ unit and two Assault Marines to a solid hit from his Looted Basilisk. Things turned around, however, and he conceded defeat at the top of Turn 4... I have to admit, though, part of it was the luck of the dice, or lack thereof, on his part.

In a particular turn he fired with his unit of Shootaz and Big Shootaz, I think it was 20+ shots and he missed... all of them. Not even one roll-to-wound.

In another phase, one of my LSTs detonated one of his Truks, killing everyone inside and taking out another six or so Models from units nearby.

My list was 1250pts spread across 50 Space Marine Models and I had opted to go more Troop heavy than I usually do. Normally I have fewer Marines and I replace them with a unit of Devastators and maybe a Dreadnought. List was as follows:

Troops:
10 Marines - Meltagun, Sargent with Powerfist and Bolt Pistol - Rhino with Extra Armour
8 Marines - Flamer, Heavy Bolter, Sargent with Powerfist and Bolt Pistol
6 Marines - Lascannon, Plasmagun
6 Marines - Missile Launcher
6 Marines - Missile Launcher

Fast:
10 Assault Marines - Flamer, Sargent with Lightning Claws and Bolt Pistol
1 Land Speeder - Tornado
1 Land Speeder - Tornado

HQ: Chaplain - Reclusiarch with Jump Pack
