We’ve got a fun game tonight, Dark Angels vs. the Fallen in a narrative battle! Tune in to our Twitch Channel at 5pm PST to join in the fun.
We will be playing the Ambush! Narrative mission from the main rule book, and will feature Dom’s growing Dark Angels force vs. Reecius commanding a force of Chaos Space marines and Fallen lead by Cypher, who was beautifully painted by our FLG Paint Studio! We’ll be using Power Level for this game per the narrative play guidelines.
Dom’s Dark Angels army is comprised of…what he has! But it will be a good, fun game.

Will Cypher and his Fallen be able to escape? Or will the Dark Angels hunt them down?
I was looking through Chaos HQ choices and was surprised to find that you can’t add any wargear to the Chaos Lord on Bike… otherwise I think he would be a great addition. I was also surprised that the Sorcerer Lord on Bike has 6 wounds, which is the same as the Chaos Lord (other profiles are typically one less.)
Lots of these minor changes I’m getting used to!
Should be a good battle.
It will be a lot of fun and yeah, lots of little changes to get accommodated to.
Doh- I meant sorcerer on a palanquin… not a bike…
seemed like a poor way to run him until I saw that.
Also noticed today Noise Marines are +1A base. Been playing them wrong all 8th
Palanquin has always added wounds.
But never different amounts for sorcerer and chaos lord
Would love to see you guys do tournament style lists against one another soon! 😉
We have been, if you want to go back and check last Friday Night Fight. We will have competitive matches again on Thursday and Friday of this week.
Was that Fallen list made by letting someone’s kid flip through the rulebook and point at random units? 😉
Just playing, but it’s definitely got quite a wide variety of units!
Yeah, it’s not meant to be competitive at all, haha. It’s what we have painted that looks cool!
I know it was briefly mentioned by you reece, but getting the dice ettiquette down is super important for new players. Dom at one point got 5 plasma wounds on the berserker rhino and he said “two,” referring to his 2 misses. You then rolled 2 saves instead of 5. I think pulling all misses and failed wounds is the best dice rolling habit to get into, and definately not counting until you are counting wounds done to an opponent after pulling all fails. Lot to get used to, as 40k requires more dice rolls than most games, but dom is off to a great start!
Good point! You only pull hits with Orks as it is reversed but otherwise yeah, pull misses.
