Battle report, by Imperial Fists

Ultramarines and imperial fist small force training exercise report 19th February 2025. 

As the exercise commenced Robot Girlyman and his small force of Terminators, Hellblasters, and a balistus Dreadnaught entered from the north east of the battle zone. The imperial first force led by Tor Garadon and Danarth Lysander entered from the south and with superior numbers managed to take control of the whole length of the south of the battle zone. Girlyman made his way into the centre objective and secured a quarter of the battle zone himself while the rest of the ultramarines pushed for the east objective.

The first wounds were suffered from the imperial fists' Brutalis dreadnought in the heat of a Dreadnought faceoff. With little life remaining, charged head on into the balistus dreadnought and managed to make it explode in the process and damaging the friendly terminators that were controlling the objective. This was a big inconvenience to all caught in the blast radius! 

Once the dust has settled from the explosion, the imperial fist terminators teleported in from the east led by Danarth Lysander. The dreadnought did not last much longer and was taken down by the ultramarine's  terminators. The ultramarine's terminators did not last much longer and came to their demise in a hail of storm bolter bullets and then a charge from Danarth Lysander who has an impressively sized hammer! Which he successfully bonked some terminator heads with.

The rest of the exercise comprised of the two sides infantry units whittling down each others numbers down until there were a few infantry left remaining for the imperial fists and all the ultramarines had led was of course. Mr Girlyman. Feeling lonely, he decided he would like some human contact and charged at the last remaining squads of imperial fist intercessors and of course hugged them too hard and they all perished. 

The imperial fists were leading for most of the game, but the ultramarines clawed back some successful missions and the match ended in a very close victory for the Imperial Fist. Tor Garadon was very pleased about the result and also jealous he isn't as tall as Mr Girlyman. Mr Girlyman said he will "rethink his strategies for next time."

Verdict

It was nail biting battle but Imperial Fists clawed the win at last minute with the score being 58-57. Well done both players for a fun game! Look forward to seeing other Warhammer 40k players in Cardiff for our next HobbyMouse  casual play event at Rhostio coffee!
