This Is Hyro, He Carries A Flamer For Alpha Squad. Later I Will Tell The Story Of How He Earned A Name

This is Hyro, he carries a flamer for Alpha Squad.  Later I will tell the story of how he earned a name and his heroism medal (the blue trim on his shoulders).  The reason that he is here is because Assault Marines do not come with flamers and I had to make my own.

This is Second Company, Alpha Squad.  They are the first into the fight.  They are lead by an old soldier, Brother Sergeant Flaherty, a second generation Marine who is a veteran of many, many battles.  Brother Hyro bears there flamer, and has proven his heroism many times. They are currently awaiting reinforcements to bring them back to full battle strength.

This is Captain Micheal of the Second Company astride his mighty steed Teacup. Basic Captain on a bike with a power sword and storm shield. Little bit of kit bash here.  Torso, head and sword from the Sanguinary Guard box, Bike and legs from the Space Marine Bike box, and a few added bits from both the Sanguinary Guard and Attack Bike box.   The storm shield is home made.  Green stuff and a little bit of wire, I think it came out quite well.   

Echo Squad is ready for the fight.  Waiting for reinforcements, but ready to take the fight to the enemy.

The Tau Incursion (Numbers)

We fought two battles, both 400 pts combat patrol.   Tanner brought a Tau list, three squads of fire warriors and two crisis suits. I brought my Blood Angels, one squad of assault marines and one squad of Sanguinary Guard. Nick brought Imp Guard, two veteran squads in Chimeras.

Tanner and I fought first, I tar pitted Tanner's crisis suits with assault marines, and then cleaned up with the Guard.

Tanner and Nick fought later, the Chimeras prevented the Tau from getting access the Guards squishy bits.

Winged Brotherhood squared off against Ashfire Cadre We fought I lost.  The Winged Brotherhood faced the Ashfire Cadre, the game was the Scouring, 1000 pts.  The game started off well, my vanguard veterans took down his riptide.  The Tau then created a perimeter around my bikes and sanguinary guard and shot at them until the finally failed enough saves to die.  My MVP was Captain Micheal and my first priest, they took an entire turn of shooting from nearly the entire Tau army before finally dying.  In the end I held a three point and a four point objective, while he sat on a two and a three point objective, however he killed two fast attack, my warlord and got first blood.  In the end the Winged Brotherhood had 7 and the Ashfire Cadre had 8. Tau win.
