Today, my Frost Wraiths fought in their first battle, and I'm happy to say that it was a glorious victory!
The Frost Wraith flagship battlebarge, accompanied by three strike cruisers and a squadron of three Firestorms, engaged a group of traitor ships that had been corrupted by Slaanesh.
Taken by surprise by the enemy which numbered six battle-ready cruisers, the Frost Wraiths suffered heavy initial losses, with the Strike Cruiser Frosthammer taken out of action, and two of the Firestorm class frigates annihilated.
The bombardement cannons of the Frost Wraith flagship and battlebarge saved the day though, destroying two chaos cruisers in only two salvos. The weapon servitors are to be commended.
With two of their cruisers destroyed, and four others crippled or worse, the Chaos cowards disengaged. Three of the cruisers got away, and the last cruiser, Souldrinker, was last seen ablaze with less than 30% hull integrity as it drifted inside an asteroid field, its engines damaged beyond repair.
Incidentally, it was the boarding actions of the Frost Wraith strike cruisers that crippled the Souldrinker, as the valiant Frost Wraith Space Marines attacked from the cold vacuum of space, deployed by teleporters and Thunderhawks....
Praise the Emperor! ;D
In other words, I had my first BFG game today in ages, and earned some glory for the Frost Wraiths. A splendid victory, although I did unknowingly break the rules...
