| Reivers and Terminators in reserves |
Captain Alocarius Sostus and his forces marched into a clearing, their objective in sight. Secure the bunker and wait for reinforcements. His soldiers would not be trapped here for much longer. The area looked safe, his scouts reporting nothing in the distance.
The tank rolled forward, troops in line beside it. Librarian Laenicus Wyrdrix left his troops he stood in command of, a group of Primaris along with a dreadnaught waiting in the woods. He made his way to the Captain to give the all clear when a warning came to him. There was a tank on the move, and a great force of Chaos arriving to the north.
The Ultramarines dug in, readied their weapons when the forces of Chaos burst forward from the forest to the north, weapons firing towards them.
Perhaps this would not be so easy.
The forces of Chaos consisted of Rubric Marines, Tzangors, Terminators, Chaos Lord, Demon, and a Vindicator.
The forces of the Ultramarines are lead by Primaris Captain Alocarius Sostus, his battle brother Primaris Librarian Laenicus Wyrdrix, a Venerable Dreadnaught, two squads of Intercessors, a Tactical Squad,a squad of Hell Blasters, a Razorback and a Devastator Squad.
The first turn saw the Chaos forces advance, take out one Hellblaster, and everything else miss. Turn one for the Ultramarines saw them wipe away a unit of Rubric Marines, as well as a few other models. Quite a good turn.
Turn two saw Chaos wipe out the squad of Hell Blasters, except for the Sergeant, and the Demon and Tzangor's advance forward. Turn two for the Ultramarines was very lackluster, dealing only a single point of damage, and removing a Rubric Marine.
Turn 3, the forces of Chaos decided to call in the Terminators, who fired all their shots into the Intercessors. The results of that are detailed in the picture below.

Things looked bleak for the Ultramarines. The Reivers came out of hiding and sprung themselves upon the Chaos Lord, but his power was too much, they proved to be just a simple distraction. The Intercessors and the Venerable Dreadnaught fired into the Terminators, and wiped all but one off the table.
 |
| At least the Reivers tried... |
Things were not going well, the forces of Chaos continued their psychic assault, the Ultramarines could only stop so much of the psychic bombardment, but the Demon laughed from the bunker, issuing his troops forward.
The shock troops underestimated the strength of the Chaos Lord, and the Tzangor's moved back to surround the Reivers. Soon there was nothing left but scraps of power armour, guns and combat blades. It would be up to the Dreadnaught and the Intercessors to fight for the eastern flank.

| The Warlords enter combat |
The Demon leaped from the bunker to attack the most powerful psyker the Ultramarines had, but the Librarian fought back, managing to hold of the onslaught of the Demon. Captain Sostus went toe to toe with the remaining Terminator, but his eye was on his friend who had fought on numerous worlds with him. His friend looked for help, the psychic powers of the Warp powered the Demon, making each blow stronger. Captain Sostus knew he had to finish off his foe or his friend would be lost.
 |
| The battle may begin to turn... |
The Intercessors rushed over to help their Captain take down the last Terminator, but they were too late, their Pysker had fallen. Seeing the Demon injured, the remainder of the Ultramarines turned their attention to the Demon. The forces of Chaos and the Vindicator (finally hit!) and destroyed the Devastators on the west flank.

| DIE!!!! |
The last turn of the game saw the Demon surrounded by the Ultramarines, They fought bravely for their fallen brothers, but their forces dwindled. But soon the Demon fell and the forces of Chaos were on the run.

All in all, a great game and the Ultramarines came out on top! Heavy casualties to the Ultramarines led me to believe I may not win, but in the end, all the Chaos models were off the table.
A great game, and found some strengths and weaknesses in the units I chose (Librarian was next to useless, should be replaced by a Lieutenant in this list).
Hope you all enjoyed and look forward to more!
