VICTORY to RED CORSAIRS.
Red Corsairs 2 (Blitz, T&H). Codex Astartes 1 (BTS).

The 3 Objectives so close together in the middle of the board did exactly what it says on the box - "Draws in most forces".
Moridin tried to play the edges, but in the end had to come in just to find an opponent to fight - where as PDP has never concerned himself with the small bother of objectives. In his eye they only exist to distract your opponent whilst you shoot & charge him, and anytime he doesn't lose 5-0 counts as a victory in his book. So we will be seeing Tactic-El-Blob-O make many more appearances that's for certain.
Was a very funny game, with both sides being teased, rewarded and punished (sometimes in a single action) by the dice gods!
If you have ever been subjected to what we can only describe as the "Moridin's Manky Merkin Grinding Pelvic Celebration Thrust Dance" You would also be hoping for the dice to abandon him now and then as well. What has been seen - can not be unseen!

END TURN 3

Thanks for the write up Atch. Was a great fight. Nice and bloody!

Here's the photo I took of the glorious moment the Hell Talons shot down a Thunderbolt:



Unfortunately it's the only photo I thought to take
