Summary:
The game was fun and funny for me at least. I can’t help but laugh at myself for the sheer madness of taking on Blood Angels this way. LOL. It was a learning experience for both Hakim and me. For him I suppose it was to get used to his Codex while for me, I was testing the boundaries with my units. I’m sure we both learnt a thing or two by the end of this game.

I’ll like to have a go at this sometime again, if not for the experience, for the entertainment value.

As usual, helpful comments are welcomed. Cheers!

I salute you sir for your inherent madness in taking on an army with extra 200 points to spare.

Nice battle report bro. Twas a fun game.
