==The Sound of Kakophoni==

My latest Horus Heresy game featured Emperor's Children versus Iron Warirors and Thousand Sons trying to get into each other's deployment zones. On the way were the mighty Sekhmet Terminators of the Raptora Cult: 7, furstratingly hard to kill 2-wound 2+ save 3++ invuln level 2 psyker, loaded with combi-weapons, chainfists and power axes, supported by a Biomancy Preator to Enfeeble any unit sent to deal with them (including the EC Praetor and Phoenix Guard). After 3 turns of furious hand-to-hand combat, 5 Sekhmet eventually consolidated out of combat, 3 of them and their Praetor down to 1 wound.

Enter the remnants of 2 Kakophoni units, the 30k version of Noise Marines, totalling 9 men with 2 S6 AP5 Gets Hot shots each. Desperately trying to stop them from walking up to their deployment zone they open fire on the red Terminators, hoping to take away a wound or two. That's when : 

a) only 6 of 18 shots hit and wound (killing 2 Kakophoni from Gets Hot), and...
 
b) 5 OUT OF 6 2+ ARMOUR SAVE FAIL IN SEQUENCE, leading to the death of 4 SEKHMET TERMINATORS AND A PRAETOR.

That's right : 180 pts of noisy bois took down over 400 pts of the best of the best magic Terminators in the Heresy. WITH NOISE !

Magic: 0 - Noise: 1 !
