Deployment
<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>

Exciting stuff here. Front rhino has zerkers and sorcerer in it. Back rhino has 10x marine squad in it.
I only put the 6 fire warriors on the board.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>

All of his stuff moves on. Bikers turbo boost. Nothing can see the fire warriors.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >

My tau gunline moves on.
Pretty much all my shooting goes at the bikes.
Sadly the 2 important ones, PF and Banner survive and pass their check.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>


<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>

Bikes assault the turbo boosted piranhas (hello movement blocking) and do nothing. Rhino was immobilized, so it stays put. Sorcerer groups up my kroot with Lash (hurt himself with lash also) for battlecannons. It scatters badly and most of my kroot are fine.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>

The front piranha move up to block the defiler. Gun drones stay to be bike fodder.
Shooting sees the rhino asplode. The piranhas immobilize their defiler, the other defiler is immobilized and the battlecannon is destroyed.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>

Meanwhile on this side of the board. Devilfish blocks movement, kroot wait to charge the spawns.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>

Spawns charge the devilfish but fail to do anything. Melta gun shots also fail to hit.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>
The bikers manage to kill 4 drones. The piranha in back was destroyed from shooting.
PF bike is fine, just doesn't have a base, so he is taking a nap.


<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>

Return fire from the kroot kills 1 biker. Crisis suits focus pretty much all their fire on the zerkers (CC = bad) and kill them all and put a 2nd wound on the sorcerer. (why won't it die??)
Dread gets stunned, defiler is fine.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>

Kroot charge and kill the spawns. (sadly they need fearless wounds to finish them off. They also manage to immobilize the rhino with 1 glancing hit.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>
Picture of the entire table.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>

Dread goes berserk and is forced to charge the piranha, (saving my kroot) and kills it.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>
Sorcerer runs away to hide behind a wall. (maybe trying to get to the other squad)
Rhino manages to repair itself.
The squad there shoots up the kroot pretty good, kroot go to ground and lose 8 guys.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>
Tau jump forward and finish up the cowardly sorcerer as he tries to run.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>
Piranhas finish off the defiler and the dreadnought is shaken after much firing into it.
Oblits get lots of railguns shot their way but make all their saves. ><

Final turns

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>
Oblits start to take damage. Chaos marine squad in back suffers some casualties. Dread is stunned again. Devilfish is destroyed.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>


<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>
The kroot continue to survive the rapid firing marines.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>
Suits move forward to finish off the chaos marines. The tau commander attempts to hit the deck and avoid incoming lascannons. (he doesn't make it)


<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>
Firewarriors move up to shoot and contest the objective.
Kroot are still being annoying.

<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>
His last chaos marine is killed. Oblits are down to 1 wound. Kroot take the objective.


The last kroot charges in!!!
<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>
He dies, but takes a marine with him.

The end
<table ><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td >From Untitled</td></tr></table>

I control 1 objective to his 0.
Overall a very fun game.

Nice battle. I would suggest a map next time to make the report easier to understand.

This report is doing very strange things to my page formatting. Hmm.

Good job on the win against a very unconventional CSM army!
