Shattergrounds

Note: This is a tongue in cheek report.

It was created for entertainment purposes and should be taken as a joke.

Old friend came to town and wanted to show me another game and his awesomely painted models. I agreed but asked to create this mockumentary of a report. Just for fun.

Have you ever wondered how will your Fusilier fare against a Space Marine? Could you hack a Dreadnought? Will Guided Missiles be effective against a Techmarine?

No?

Me neither.

However. Opportunity for such a thing arised. I grabbed it.

Read, laugh, scratch your head. This is all a joke.

The Crimson Fist Space Marines Advanced (rolled an extra d6 inches of Movement) since their guns were all short range and three were hit by a blast of a missile launcher. After 9 2+ wound rolls on d20s they rolled their saves of 3+ and one suffered a wound.

The Dreadnought then engaged Le Muet, who smirked and readied his Multisniper - and missed! We then realised the Dread doesn't care for Mimetism or Cover, just rolls 3+ on d6 with rerolls. After all the rolls and rerolls some missiles hit Le Muet and he was to save them - but how? Strength of the weapon was 8 so a 9+ on a D20, then 2 armor, 3 cover... 4+... No, Armor Piercing 4. so 8s? Ok. He failed one. "Damage 3 - dead" was announced.

What just happened.

The Kum advanced swiftly as there were no AROs (duh) but got Overwatched by the Dreadnought for a Command Token. A S4 bolter round was shrugged off easily and the Kum dodged into the Techmarine! Only to discover 1 die on 21s vs 5 dice on 3+ is not safe.
"Wait, you crit on target numbers, I want too!" - so 3s now became crits. Only they are not 5% but 16% on each die.

Hunzakut plonked a Repeater in ZoC of the Dreadnought. Barid cracked her fingers and froze... Wait, its not hackable, is it? Spotlight then.

A guided missile flew, Damage 14 vs Toughness 13 - wounded on 3s, one wound was not saved. 11 more to go. Hmm, that doesn't sound like a good plan.

Zuleyka rode past the Dread, tried flaming the Marines - one wound was caused. Those 3+ saves! Hmm, Breaker Pistols maybe? Should they treat BTS as 0? We decide against it as Marines look pretty protected from environment and they just roll 3+. Breaker doesn't work as it doesn't have Armor -number stat. Similarly to why Armor Piercing missile was so ineffective.

Ok, Zuleyka charges the Techmarine and together with the Kum pommel him for the next 6 orders. 5 dice vs 5 dice, crits on 18s vs crits on 3s, his 2+ saves with 5+ feel no pain vs her ARM1saves on like...5+ on d20?

Finally 4 Wounds are inflicted and Techmarine is down. I count this as Lt kill and Specialist kill for my FIrefight mission.

Crimson Fists don't care. They play zone control per turn.

Ok fun was had but we decide the game is pretty ridiculous anyways. We scored similar amount of Objective Points so far.

The thing is, Crimson Fists didn't deploy HVT because the very concept is alien to them. Also, they can score 5 OP per zone per turn up to a total of... a lot more than 10.

Still, fun was had.

The game systems are not compatible.
