Game over - Final Score: Daemons - 5 Space Marines - 1
DaemonsI got very unlucky with my reserve rolls at the start but I got very lucky that my opponent had even worse rolls during his first turn of shooting. Over all I made some lucky saves and he failed a lot of shots. The Screamers worked very well and against any other vehicle would be devastating but I got lucky that the LR was immobilized so all my attacks were auto hits.
Space Marines
He had some very unlucky rolls that really crippled him early, I think his LR would have been better off in the middle because the terminators were stuck on the side once the LR was immobilized. They could have been a huge help to take out the Bloodcrushers and the Prince.
