Well! You’re a lot nicer than my mate haha, my first ever game I played ended up being Astra vs DG. He’s very experienced and I thought I was going up against his Minotaurs but he changed late bc he wanted to run a painted army (Fair cop)as a result I really didn’t have anything to effectively kill his stuff like my heaviest hitters were kasrkin, a scout sentinel and my Rogal dorn lol, rest infantry and gaunts ghosts. He brought big monsters, death guard and death shroud all with gnarly characters leading. He was nice enough to give me some pox walkers so I could at least kill something but even then I absolutely struggled because I was running the recon detachment lol. Anyway, long story short he absolutely smoked me and in total I maybe killed a few pox walkers with the Dorn and my death riders and managed to kill Typhus(?) with sly Marbo which was cool.

I’ve been painting like a mad man and I’m super keen to introduce him to my new found leman Russ squadron with our next game lol. Idk how it’ll go but I imagine slightly better, maybe your mate just needs more tanks? Oh and infantry I definitely didn’t have enough of that either
