End game Imperial left.
The worst dice roll in the game. Steve rolled seven ones to wound with a heavy flamer shot.
Unfortunately the game was called at the end of the third turn When we realized that there wouldn't be enough time for a full fourth turn. So this ended with an Imperial win. I was a little disappointed but i had a good time and saw a bunch of really amazing models.
Some highlights were the Tempests bagging a shadow sword and both surviving their first time on the field, The Phantom titan burning up a whole bunch of space marines and the Ulthwe farseer surviving everything the imperial could throw at them and only losing one model. Some bad highlight was the vyper scattering off table. the Solitaire not making it to the table because of deep strike mishap and the Harlequin bikers killed in the explosion after the wraithlords destroyed the star port.
I can't wait for the next one tentatively planned for March 2010.
