Summary

 

So a short game and a win for the Codex Astartes, at the start of turn 2, I had 2 activation on the table and two off board formations. I think the deployment was off just a little and my formations could have been cm closer in some case to give support, but I was worried by the pie plates that were coming from the SM cruiser..

 

Yes I will say my dice were not with me, the first EoV made not one armour save and when Trent hit the SoV in a engagement it also didn't make armour saves..We may get rematch on this one..
