Battle Report! Salamanders vs. Demons - 2000 points
To feature the recently completed Space Marines Salamanders army, we ran them through the paces in a battle report versus Kenny's Demons. This game wasn't quite as close as our previous one, but still features lots of pictures of great looking models.
We used the same scenario as was used at Tacticon and similar to the format of the ATC, with all three objectives (KP = Kill Points; C+C = Capture and Control; SG = Seize Ground) and a random Die roll to determine deployment. We rolled and got Pitched Battle for deployment and I set up first.

Demons Take the Center of the Table
Top of Turn 1: Salamander Tanks open up on the Demons
The far right tactical squad lays claim to the objective
Bottom turn 1: first shot of the game by the Demons, and the Soul Grinder wrecks the Land Raider
Demons make their advance
Top of turn 2: The Multi-Melta fails to take down the Demon
Blood Crushers and Blood Letters close in on the remaining tanks.
This was unfortunate as the Greater Demon advances on the tactical squad.
Top of Turn 3: trying to get the Terminators and Dreadnought in position
Bottom of Turn 3: The inevitable charge
Demons mopping up the survivors.
Top of turn 4: I finally get in some damage to Kenny's Demons and drop the Soul Grinders
Demons lay final claim to the objective
Losing the Land Raider in the first shot really hurt and kept the Terminators out of most of the game.
A pretty decisive game, but fun was still had by all. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed it. Happy gaming!
