How my first game of Warhammer 40k went.

[meep277]

Now, I was playing my friends Orks, versus Tyranids. I shot my Shokk Attack Gun, and rolled a 6. So, I fired my Mek right at a Carnifex. (I think that's how you spell it.). So, now in the assualt phase, I attack it. I wound, and kill it. (Was softened up from earlier.)
I now realize that I had Falcon Punched a Carnifex. So, how did your first game go?

I remember my first game with chaos vs necrons in 4th where my Kharne the betrayer literally made the Crons phase out almost single handed..ah the good ol days

I was playing Sisters of Battle against an old 1k Sons opponent. His fancy bolters and 2 wounds cleaned the floor with me before I even had a chance to engage.

My first game was against Aaron at his house. 1500 points of Crimson Fists vs. 1500 points of Tyranids. The game I BELIEVE was the Scouring, the 6 objectives with hidden value?

Anyways, we set up and I ended up being stupidly lucky and getting all of the high value objectives. If you want a good long battle report of it you can go read the whole write up on Aaron'd blog, but the highlight of the game for me was Aaron flying his Tyrant right into my lines his first turn. At the bottom of the turn my two objectives ended up giving me Target Tracker and Sky Fire rounds....it took my entire army but I kill his tyrant first turn.

Don't forget lysander spearheading your sternguard unit and saving 34 wounds after he failed 3 of his first 4. So cinematic...

Threads like this are amazing for the game, people read it and may just jump into painting more, collecting more, or simply playing more..maybe threads like thus with some bat reps and pictures on this site would be beneficial, or if someone changed around the background of the website to make it more appealing ...sorry just ranting but I loved this thread

Haha Aaron I forgot about that! We even rolled those saves by themselves!

You can't blame me though, Lysander is an absolute BEAST in 6th edition, especially with Sternguard!

My first game of 40k. Wow that was ages ago. I think I had orcs in second edition playing with a chaos player against my buddy orville and his space wolfs and a dark angel player. Thats when they actually had rules for the animosity between the two chapters. I think they had to duel in the center of the field to see who was the supreme commander. I dont remember exactly.

But something I do remember was two things. Abbadon teleporting dwon with a unit of Deathguard temrinatiors and ripping to shreds my buddys terminators with Logan Grimar in it.

And the other was my orc on a bike ramming a terminator with a chain fist and wanting the bike explode around the temrinatior leaving only a burnt mark on his paint. Thats when you bought a vehicle in a box, they came with the rules inside it. Each vehicle had thier won charts and special explosion charts. Was really cool but time consuming back then.
