Grey Knights Batrep

So last night I played my first game against grey knights. It was a 1750 pt game and I fielded a death company list with only two scoring units which was a ten man tac squad combat squadded. We roll and end up playing a four objective game. I literally cannot win unless I kill most of his army.

So he rolls and goes first and deploys. Stormraven and land raider crusader on the table with dreadknight and other units in reserve to deep strike. I roll to seize initiative and roll a six! As a result I get my vaunted alpha strike with my two stormraven list. Move forward and destroy his stormraven and kill perhaps one troop with Baal predator. One troop dies in the raven explosion.

My tac squad is in reserve to keep them alive for late game objective holding after death company kills some grey knights. Eventually I lose my Baal predator to assault of some crazy unit and his dreadknight comes in. When it hits I unload all bloodstrike missiles tlac and tlmm at it and cause three wounds. My dreadnought assaults and they go at it for a turn. Then all at once they kill each other. Death co assaults land raider after wiping out a squad of terminators and I think the stormraven ends up killing that land raider. Stormraven and other death company wipe out more troops and it turns into a rout. I tabled him in turn 7 and claimed two objectives and contested one with astorath. I win in all regards. It was a pretty impressive victory. The key I think was the two squads of death company re rolling failed to hit and to wound rolls. And of course seizing initiative.

I did roll terrible with multi meltas however. Three times I rolled 1 to hit and on the twin linked re roll I rolled another one. That's pretty terrible.

After the massacre Travis challenged me to a rematch. It shall be interesting to say the least.
