Ok enough with the nonsense, Had been a few months since I play against Jaeroler IG list. I had faced this IG list numerous times. I'm trying out a part descent of angels part DC rush list. Using Vassal this time for the battle report. Some information maybe inaccurate as I did not take notes during the game. Enjoy.

-Centre melta vets kept running towards BA objective and psyker squad chimera zoom in to contest the BA objective.
-Jaeroler decided to be funny and shoot his demolisher cannon(tank was nearer) at the 3 assault marines and end up destroying the psyker chimera killing 5 psykers in the process.
-Game continue to turn 7...
I decided to call it here as I have no ways of winning and we were just playing for fun in turn 6 to blow some stuffs ups. After 2 games with this list, I seriously cant deal with mech armies... My list consist of all the fun units I like to use in game, but it had a hard time playing against mech armies. I need to change my list to include more anti-vehicle stuffs, hope that I can make minor changes to my list to make it more effective. I don't like to play razorbacks spam which are effective in dealing with mech armies, but kind of boring...
Commander Proximius was victorious in the skirmish and get to keep the shiny gold bars for now... Proximius laughed hysterically and hugged the gold bars tightly as he watched the 3 surviving blood angels retreat, he continued caressing the gold bars and silently whispered "my preciousssss you are mineee, yesssss... " LOL!
