>Be years ago, 40K 6th or 7th ed
>Be me, playing Imperial Guard with Imperial Agent (Inquisition) allies
>Poorfag so army is fairly basic and a lot of stuff is converted/scratchbuilt
>Be opponent, call him "Timmy"
>Timmy currently runs 30K Marines
>Timmy also cheats on his points
>Dont know why I play this guy, looking back
>Timmy wants a mega 5K battle
>I dont have 5K's worth of minis
>But I do have the old Imperial Armour rules for off-board artillery
>By Timmy's own ruling, these are still legal as they are the most recent versions
>Take many mortar and quadgun batteries
>Timmy has 30K Marines, Angron in a Spartan, tons of tacticals plus those special units, and some flankers and a predator squadron
>Against my infantry, Macro bunker, and sole Super heavy tank
See picrel, I was on the Southern side. We had buildings up one flank and on both ends, and a cratered park in the middle. My bunker is the yellow box
>Manage a lucky shot early on that immobilises the Spartan
>Timmy is pissed
>Flankers come on, Timmy tries to throw a meltabomb at the bunker and is told he cant, flankers get gunned down by massed fire
>Meanwhile MASSIVE MARINE WAVE coming up the centre
>Lasguns are not cutting it
>But aha, my reserve rolls for the bombardments!
>Almost all of them arrive
>Timmy reminds me he dislikes them, tell him stfu, I havnt the minis
>"Haha they wont do much anyway"
>I spent nearly 1K points on these
>The Marines are bunched up in the park area in cover
>Tightly grouped, bad spacing
>Its a massacre
>Sure, they have a 3+ save
>Im hitting each marine model an average of 4 times
>Over half the marines die in the first barrage, the survivors are pinned (no ATSKNF in 30K)
>The next turn the remainder join the barrage
>Timmy's few surviving marines break and retreat from the beaten ground
>Basilisk barrages dealt with his Predators
>Even with Angron coming up the flank, Timmy has lost
