Introduction:
The Imperium forces had deployed the 7th Ultramarines company to deal with a foul invasion of Death Guard. Looking at the heavy armoury of the traitor chapter and expecting a slog of a fight, it came as a surprise when a small Genestealer raiding party appeared and, ignoring the Death Guard, went swiftly on the attack.
Set up:
Using a 4′ x 6′ table with the ‘No Mercy’ Eternal War mission.

Notes:
Obviously its not normal to have Genestealers and Death Guard fight against each other and although the Space Marines and Death Guard are battle forged, the Genestealers are not. I’ve recently toyed with starting a Genestealers army so I’ve only two units and I wanted to try them out. Using ‘house rules’, we’ve agreed to ignore the lack of battle forged lists for the Genestealer part of the battle.
