We rolled Seize Ground and 5 objective and got Spear head for deployment.
IG won the roll and took 1st turn.
Deployment. One objective us at the building be hind his rhinos, right at the base of the statue, right in the door way the the Shrine of the Aquila, 3rd floor of the building
IG occupies, and right in fount of the
LRBT on the far right at the crashed aquila.
CSM failed to seize the initiative.
IG deployment. My plan was to hold my right flank and push out the left. Wheeled chimera is vets, One with red stripe is Ogryn, front is the
CCS and is empty to act as a shield. One squad of
RR is held back as a counter assault and the 2nd (with the melta guns) moved up with the mech. (NOTE: The
CCS Regimental standard is just for looks, not actually in play)
The Red rhino has Kharn and his squad. Plague are behind the building holding an objective.
TURN 1
IG turn 1 movement, left flank moved forward 6".
Shooting only saw Pask wreck 1 rhino. Rolled
on the 2nd rhino from vendetta for damage. Everything else shot at obliterators, and failed to get past their 2+ armor.
MoO and mortars scattered away.
Chaos Movement. Rhinoless squad spread out while Kharn and
DP went around the long way behind the Shrine near the objective. Raptors and 2 obliterator squad moved forward towards me. 2nd Rhino pops smoke.
Obliteratos blast the empty Chimera into a crater (he was hoping for a wreck) Other Obliterators fire plama cannons at the squad holding the crash objective. They are left with 3, but pass moral.
IG 2 - CSM 3
TURN 2
IG turn 2 movement. Left flank pushes out another 6". Stormtroopers fail to arrive.
Pask explodes the 2nd Rhino right through it's smoke While the Demolisher gets all 3 Obliterators.
LRBT battle cannon fails to do more that shake Kharns Rhino, but the
MoO scatters right on top of the Raptor squad, killing all but 3.
Chaos movement turn 2,
DP and Kharns ride move forward and rhino pops smoke
The Bezerkers spread out and try to get into the building, but roll low for difficult terrain (1 and 2)
DP lashes squad off objective and Obliterators plasma cannon a 2nd squad, who fails and runs
DP assaults and eats the lashed squad.
IG 1- CSM 2
TURN 3
Vets and
RR move towards the bezerker squad while Ogryn chimera and demolisher turn towards the middle of the table. The rest of the army turns to face the threat of the PD and Kharn Rhino that's about the hit me.
Stormtroopers arrive and
DS at plague held objective.
2nd Stromtroopers arrive as well and
DS right into a world of s***. Was trying to get them near the rhino and force them out there. I knew they would die to assault after, but then
LRBT would have mopped up. Now I just have to hope they can do something.
Stormtroopers only kill 1 plague marine and 1 plasma cooks himself (
)
2nd Stormtroopers squad does worse, missing with their melta at obliterators, who pass all their 2+. Shooting does 1 wound on the
DP (from as lasgun no less) and the
RR charge in, causeing 2 more wounds, but they lose combat, fail moral, and roll a
for initiative. My left flank does kill a few Bezerkers, leaving only 1 holding the middle objective.
Chaos movement.
DP runs away while Kharns Rhino drives right up to the objective.
Raptors blast the Ogryns Chimera, while the Obliterator squad by the plagues kills the Demolisher.
Plagues assault and kill the Stormtroopers with no causalities.
IG 1 - CSM 3
TURN 4
Movement see 1 squad head toward objective. Hoping to kill rhino and have
LRBT serve them some pie, and run to hold objective.
Left flank, vets get ready to head for objective while
RR prepare to fleet and assault bezerkers in building. Orgyn and upset that their ride got killed and move to get some revenge. Infantry squad moves up incase they are needed to help hold objective.
Master of Ordnance bulleyes the
DP rolling a hit and
for scatter,
DP fails his invul and goes down! Vendetta gets the rhino, but then
LRBT scatters off to kill one of the
HWT mortars. Pask kills an Obliterator.
RR fleets and assault Bezerker squad, but looses combat, and initiative (
to
) but he is left with only 4.
Ogyrn assault and kill the raptors with no wounds. The consolidate back into cover to contest objective.
Kharn leaves squad and goes after
CCS while Bezerkers go for the infantry squad. Infantry are killed in assault (no surprise there) and spread to try and avoid the battle cannon behind them, but due some low rolls and body guard shenanigans, Kharn is unable to defeat the
CCS this turn, and even takes a wound from the Commander.
After obliterators fail to kill the chimera, bezerkers assault and explode it, killing 2 vets in the explosion along with some of the infantry squad nearby. The lone bezerker at the ojbective assaults the ogryn (he knew he was going to die and wanted the extra attack for the charge) but is crushed by the brutes. Note how we ran out of craters at this point.
IG 1 - CSM 2
TURN 5
Vets head towards the objective while ogryn move to give them a clear field of fire. Those dice are the vets diff terrain roll.
Mortars move to contest objective. This was to force his bezerkers to stay there preventing them from going after the squad holding the building objective. Everything else lines up on the bezerker squad.
Missed the shooting picture here, but Ogryn assaut and kill the bezerkers, while the vendetta, Pask, and
LRBT kill all but 3 from the other squad. Assault sees Kharn killing....NOTHING, alot of
misses, failed to wound, and a
refractor field save!
Berzerkers move to assault the
LRBT
Both Obliterator squads plasma cannon the vets, who go to ground. The 3+ cover saves and Sgt Bastonne's
Ld 10 keeps them on the Objective.
Bezerkers take the battle cannon off the
LRBT, while the body guard keeps the commander alive in assault.
IG 3- CSM 1
Game continues to
TURN 6
Ogryn and Infantry squad moves up, and everyone pours into the Obliterators during shooting, killing both.
Vendetta kills the 3 bezerkers, but Kharn kills the commander, consolidates towards the
HWT. Killing it with a plasma shot in his shooting.
His obliterators only kill 1 more vet (as they went to ground again) with Bastonne keeping them there.
Plagues hold their objective with the last obliterators.
IG 2 - CSM 1
We roll a
and the game is over with an Imperial Victory!
I'll admit I was really worried when Kharns rhino and
DP got close. They ate alot of squads, and those obliterators were are pain in the rear. Was a fun and pretty close game. It helped that the bezerker squad on the left never rolled above a 3 for their run or difficult terrain rolls. Kept them from getting close.[b]
