Tabletop Wars in Cambridge: Betrayal at Grief.

"We have been betrayed... Prepare to board. We assault, locate and protect our Lord at all costs. Terminators with me..." Stelios Kasadin, Master Librarian of the fire Hawks.

The Fire hawks had sent a small force to discuss a peace treaty with the tyrrant to end the war before it escalated. the location was an abandoned space station in the grief system.
Chapter master Lazaerek insisted he must be present despite his captains objections, and he and his honour boarded the thunerhawk.
The talks went on for 2 days, on the second day the Station was attacked by forces unknown while the Tyrand had already dissembarked.
The Fire Hawks in orbit were prepered for the worst. They had remained armed and vigilant in the ships docks for 2 days, in four minutes since the first explosion a dozen of drop pods were uppon the burning space station. It was Chief Librarian Kasadin and Captain Elam Courbray who found their Chapter Master signal on the aspex but between them and their lord were 20-30 other unregistered signals.
From the darkness the figures stepped out, massive barberic marines full of bloodlust eager to kill, their frost and power weapons gleaming in the dark gave away they identity, Space Wolfs. They were a force of destruction, famous for been one of the best and brutal type of warriors in close combat. Terifiying and deadly as the were, they stood in the way of the fire Hawks and their Master.

You can find the rules for the mission a few posts before.

First of all the fantastic 3d board all made by David (He plays exorsists). It is amazing playing on it.

Librarian and grey hunters deal no wounds on each other. Pretty amazing save from the Kassadin, "my shield is my faith bla bla bla " a strormshield also helps.

Turn 2b
Tactical assault to suppport Kassadin. The grey wolfs fail to wound him again 2 grey wolfs go down but they hold.

Fire hawk terminators assault the terminators once again and finish them.
Assault marines jump and 2 die , then they assault the other unit of grey hunters.

Turn 3a
The thunderwolf will assault the terminators and kill one, one wound back to the wolf.
Combat continues between tactical lib and grey wolfs both sides lose 2 men.

lib=librarian :-)

"Assault the assaulters my assault squad." Now say that 10 times very fast.

Sternguard create a perimeter around the injured lord, (lord=marine without a head)

Turn 3b
The thunder wolf does 4 wounds and 2 terminators fall, but not before taking out the wolf.
Elam falls but his units hold and does severe damege to the grey hunters.

The station after the battle.

I forgot to say turn 1,2,4 nothing happend on the catastrophic damage table, turn 3 wild fire explotions on a section we where not on, the emperor protects...even when you assault a collapsing burning abandoned space station.
