Black Templar Vs Dark Angels

Dark Angels Vs Black Templar
Game type: Relic
Deployment: Hammer and Anvil
Maelstrom of War rules used

 We played a 1300 pt game the other night. Dark Angels Vs Black Templar. We used the Maelstrom of War rules as well to test them out. The Dark angels drew first blood with the command squad's Melta guns after the Las predator stripped a hull point off of the Land Raider. The Crusader squad took cover from the other side of the land raider.
Dark Angels secure the Relic, and rolled the maelstrom of war objective to hold 1 objective till the end of the turn. The bikes flat out and pull the relic behind the hill. 2-0 Dark angels.

 The Black Templar roll the win 1 assault, maelstrom objective. The Dark angels command squad are on the receiving end of that assault. Razorback and Contemptor dread head up the board. The Dark Angels Speeder jink to evade the las cannon shots from the second Razor back.
Rolling up the second maelstrom objective and the Black Templar gain King slayer, Azreal is now in The Emperors Champions sights. The Raven Wing bikes move the relic further out of reach of the Black Templar. They pass the relic off to an attack bike and try to protect him.
The predator takes a hull point off the Templar's advancing razorback and immobilizes him next to the bunker. The Dark Angels gain another point for controlling the Relic.  The Black Templar fail their assault by a few inches. causing them to stand their ground for another turn.
The Land Speeder tries to flank the Razor back and is rammed by it instead causing a stunned result. The Contemptor runs up the flank and is almost in striking distance to the Terminators. The death-wing terminators have to make the call weather to advance or stand their ground. They open up on the Templar stopping 4 marines but the Emperors Champion shrugs off the rest of the shots. The predator strips a hull point off the contemptor
and destroys a close combat weapon. The razorback squad disembarks and sits
next to the bunker for a turn.




The Crusader squad finally makes its charge after the contemptor eats the over-watch. Issuing a challenge for the Honor of his chapter, he Beckons for Azriel to step forward and face him in single combat. The Grand master accepts this duty. Unleashing a flurry of blows, each swing connects but The Emperors Champion shrugs them off, his fury and Righteous zeal unmatched even by the Grand Master. No pity, No Remorse , No Fear the Litanies chanted by the Chaplin echoing in the Emperors champions ears each strike finds a home. In a single strike Azriel is laid low, his death wing retinue are surprised and also are taken down in the Champions fury. The Contemptor finishes off the remaining deathwing as the squad consolidates towards line breaker. This was getting pretty late in the game, the Darkangels drop pod landed in my lines and took line breaker, my contemptor was immobolized just short of line breaker and I had to use the Crusader squad to get it. The Bike squad fled, leaving the attack bike claiming the relic solo, he went and hid out of line of sight.
The game ended in a 8-5 Victory Dark angels! Azzy failed his invul against the instant death save from the sword. letting the other 2 wounds go into the squad, it was pretty potent. A Great game, loving the new rules. Tossing maelstrom in worked out pretty good too.
