There's no way my commander can attack both those orks in one move is there?

His Combi-weapon can be used as a Plasma gun remember. And there is a square you can reach which has a diagonal line through both of them...

By the way, if anyone's interested you can buy Space Crusade dice on Ebay for about £10: ¬_¬

And we say goodbye to 2 more Orks!

I think you've definitely seen the benefit of using the Heavy Bolter as the Imperial Fists. The Combi-weapon and bionic eye equipment cards makes a massive difference to your overall firepower, compared to the other squads. The only drawback is you will struggle when coming up against a Dreadnought with this weapon.

It's now the Blood Angels turn.

Eventful turn for the Blood Angels!

ALIEN TURN:

Event Card:

Image

I will play this on the Ork. He moves diagonally to fire at the Imperial Fists Plasma Gun, twice, rolling 2&3 and 4&6, missing both times. Not much of an Alien Elite really.

The Gretchin scampers down the right and fires at the Ultramarines Plasma gunner, also missing with a 1&6. 2 more Gretchin reinforcements appear.

We'll race through these final few turns in no time now. It's over to Mantis.

Just a quick one. Looking for custom dice roller and found this..
https://rollthedice.online/en/dice/d0-3

Lets you set the numbers on dice like 0,1,2,3 which would be more accurate for this.

I don't think that would work mate, since we need 3 sides of a red dice to roll 0 and 4 sides of a white dice to roll 0.

Not sure how the probabilities work on that side of things. At least we currently have the correct probabilities just by ignoring 4, 5, 6 or 3, 4, 5, 6 and treating them as 0.

Yep, Commander Gorman is now down to 5 life points! But the Gretchin is dead, which is the main thing.

Ah yes, sorry about that, I think that's the first time I've actually managed to use the plasma gun to cut through multiple targets so may have forgotten about that little feature.

Plasma to N19
Missile to Q18
Assault to T22

Our first friendly fire incident of the campaign! I thought it would have happened sooner than this tbh.

1 damage beats their 0 Armour and both Gretchins are snuffed out! And the 3 damage is enough to kill the other Ork.

...

Right, so because I can't bring any more reinforcements on (you have LOS to all entry points) the remaining 2 won't be appearing, which means I can now award the primary mission token to Animalmother. He ends up on a mammoth 98 points, our biggest winning total yet. Congratulations!

Mantis and Sly interfered with eachother all the way, and neither could break free to compete with the Imperial Fists.

I've cycled through a bunch of randomised event cards, but the Mothership Commo card didn't appear, so no secondary mission. We can assume you all made it back to the docking claws. Awards shall be given out in the morning.

Take a well deserved rest Marines.
