GAME 1: Bullet Dodger; DE vs. TAU
We played on a map with a long corridor stretching from bottom left to top right corners of the map, surrounded by terrain and a few ruined buildings.

Mission: Seize Ground, 4 Objectives
Deployment: Spearhead

Note: Now that I think about it, my list was a little different back then. I had more Venoms with dudemen in them. But the wyches were still there, without the hammy, and I was taking the Baron I believe. . .hmmmmmm. . .fuzzy memory. Ah, the TB had Venoms too, and I believe I may have had another warrior unit in Venom.

DE win the roll off and take first turn, deploying in the bottom left corner, nose to the deployment line but sideways, vehicles blocking other vehicles for cover. I wasn't about to let him have all that tasty cover :p He deploys closer than expected with his battlesuits, but leaving the Hammer Fish in the back behind lines of other stuff.

The Wyches move up 24" for turn 2 assault. The Venoms scoot around a bit all in range to blast the crap out of his battlesuits and the ravagers get ready to rain hell upon his Hammer Fish. The Venoms manage to wipe a battle suit unit off the field, and take down two more from a different unit and another from his command. Both units failed morale and ran back. His Fish survived the shooting phase because of D-Pods.

His one man battlesuit unit flees from the field and is destroyed. His command gets back to the fight. His pathfinders deploy. The Fish move around the forest a bit for better shots. Everything else stays back. He manages to knock a Raider with Wyches out of the sky, but only enough to Wreck it. The Wyches hop out into the forest for cover, and pass their pinning check. His Hammer Fish knock a Ravager out of the sky. His Broadside attempt to shoot the other Wyche Raider down, but Flickers save the day.(This is when I was still taking Flickers on Wyche Raiders ) No Assaulting, so back to me.

Wyche Raider moves up 12” drops the girls off to play. The Forest Wyches move towards the opposite side where his Hammer Fish are and some other goodies, they roll well for DT and give me a full 6”. Venoms scoot around a bit ready to unleash pain upon him. Ravagers move closer to his D-Fish. Some shooting goes on, his pathfinders get wrecked by the Venoms. I bring down a HammerFish and a D-Fish, killing some of its occupants. The Wyches run, and thanks to Hypex (3d6 for running) nearly surround his army for a massive multicharge of doom. He concedes at this point, bracing himself for an eternity of endless suffering.

VICTOR: DE by MASSACRE!!!!!!!

GAME 2: Inquisitions Finest: DE vs. GK

Mission : Capture and Control
Deployment : Pitched Battle

Map Description: It’s a ruined city. About 30-35% covered in terrain spread evenly across. A couple wrecks litter the landscape.

DE win the roll off and take the top. He attempts to steal and fails. I hold everything back to come on first turn. He holds the Storm Raven with the Death Cultists, Inquisitor and Coteaz, plus both Dread Knights in reserve. Everything else will come on first turn.

Wyches move up 24”. The TB move up 12” hop out into cover and get ready to blast some Chimera. Ravagers set up to help. The Warriors stay back a ways and prepare to dump Venom SC’s all over the occupants of those Chimera. Now I patiently wait.

He rolls on and attempts to fire at some of my units but fails due to nightfight rules.

I move the TB up a little bit. Move the wyches closer. In the shooting phase I managed to blow up 1 chimera, wreck another, stun and shake another, and immobilize one more. It was a great round of shooting for me. He loses a couple in the blast. My Venoms splinter cannon the crap out of them until one unit only has 2 guys left, who promptly run off the field. No assaulting yet
His Storm Raven flies on with Coteaz in tow. The Chimera shimmy a little bit to make way for the ones in back. His guys come closer to drop some melta on me. After the shooting phase is done two wyche raiders are down, and a Ravager exploded. His assault fails because of DT.

I fly the last remaining wyche raider into DT right next to all of his chimera and two units of acolytes. The other two wyche units separate from the haemonculi and move closer to both the storm raven and the Coteaz kill team. Haemonculi from the crashed raiders move up ready to use the Shattershard and a liquefier. The rest of my units shimmy a bit. In the shooting phase I blow up two more chimera, wipe another squad off the map with splinter fire, kill Coteaz with the Shatter, melt his inquisitor with a liquefier, do nothing with the crucible , and completely surround the kill team, Raven, and will shortly multi-charge 2 units of acolytes with the third unit of wyches. He concedes.

VICTOR: DE win by SLAUGHTER!!!!!!!!

GAME3: Bad Blood (A Rematch) DE vs. BT

Map has some centralized cover in the middle, forests around the top right and left, a bunker and some trenches going through the bottom left areas.

Mission: Capture and Control
Deployment: Dawn of War

BT win the roll off and take first turn, deploying a singular empty rhino at the half table marker and the Plascannon unit on his objective. DE leaves a singular unit of warriors in reserve and holds everything else back to come on first turn. DE attempts to steal aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand. . .SUCCEEDS!!!!

Wyches move 24” straight towards his objective. There’s a mix of 12” and 18” movement for the rest of the forces. A bit of shooting occurs and I manage to shake his rhino.

His forces come on. The middle rhino rolls into the middle of my forces and shines a bright light onto one of the wyches raiders. His other Rhino tags a TB raider. Each get knocked down. The rest of his forces move up a bit.

The remaining wyche raider storms right up to his objective and the girls hop out ready to assault the plascannon unit and his dread. Some shooting happens, I blow up his middle rhino, shake the dread, stun and immobilize his other rhino, and kill several terminators from each unit with massed dark light fire. The wyches charge and get stuck in with the dread and plascannon templars.

He pops the crusader unit out of the immobilized rhino and moves up. His shooting phase sees him knock a Venom from the sky and nothing else. His terminators multicharge a unit of TB and a Raider, wipe the TB out and do nothing to the Raider. The other assault drags on, nickel and diming.

Things move around a bit and then the shooting starts. I keep dragging his terminators further and further down. The other unit of wyches attempts to assault his Terminators but they move out of the way with their evil BT magic. The assault at his objective drags on again.

He moves around a bit. His Crusader unit begins to sprint towards my objective. He knocks out another Venom. He assaults a lone TB with a Lone Terminator and kills him. The assault drags on .

I move Ravagers in front of the Crusader unit to block/slow their passage. I finally drag down the rest of his terminators between liquefiers and lots of darklight fire. I finish off his plascannon unit in CC.

He storms closer with his Crusader unit, separating the two. He shoots at a Ravager and misses. He attempts to assault whats left of my warriors and fails and assaults my Ravager causing a glance that I save with Flickers.

I move all hands over to where the BT unit is running towards my objective, the unengaged wyches hop onto his objective, both units of warriors run and sit on my objective. All available vehicles blast the crap out of his templar unit killing several of them. The dread combat drags onto another turn.

He moves whats left of his army closer to my objective but is still too far to claim it. Shooting results in nothing. Assaulting results in a failed charge. The Dread combat drags on yet another turn.

I roll the die for game end and it does.

VICTOR: DE!!!!! Major victory!!!!! 2-0
