The game
My first game of 8th edition 40k will be a dust off between the new Primaris marines and my stubborn Iron warriors. We got a Secure and control scenario and rolled a search and destroy deployment - setup in opposing quarters, 9" from the middle. Forces are 1000 pts each.
Turn 1
With basic rules, everything is deployed on the battlefield, except deep striking units. My Iron warriors takes first turn and makes just small advancement.
Turn 2
Both Heretic Terminators and Loyalist jump marines reinforce the battlefield. With mainly bolter fire, the shooting phase offers few kills. The primaris jump marines assault the flyer, but fail to do any damage.
Turn 3
Deepstriking terminators and a squad of marines assault the plasma armed primaris. First blood is gained by the loyalists, as the rhino goes down in assault.
Turn 4 - 5
The Hellblade kills two plasma armed marines and a lieutenant with its deadly hellstorm cannons, but is then finally shot down with a storm of plasma and bolter fire. The Primaris is now in possession of their own objective, but the Iron warriors is to far away from theirs. We roll to see if the game continues, and it does for at least another turn.
Turn 6
The Iron warriors attempts to break the enemy line in case of a 7th turn, but the game ends and the Primaris takes it all.
Primaris 4 (objective, First blood) - Chaos 0
