Went to paint, and a game broke out

Hello readers,
I went over to Games Workshop today put some colors onto those blood claws. I didn't get far though. The next guy to walk into the store was down for a 1000 point game. He was playing the mellow Marines. I brought my Storm Wolves.

The space Marines were set up as 2 tactical squads both with rhinos, a cog boy, 3 attack bikes in a single squad, and the whirlwind that always missed.

I almost had him tabled in three, and at the end of seven I own both objectives. He had three members of a tactical squad left, and I had all of my units still. He was diced pretty hard, but only on the offense. It was ugly, and I felt bad for him.

This little thousand pointer has a 3-1 record. It's very forgiving, and the predator takes such a large proportion of the fire. I I wish I could afford the points in the 2500 point Army to take a predator. I know it only draws fire for the first round or two, but that can be a lot of heavy weapons fire.
