(I may be forgetting some of the stuff from my opponents army. This is from what I remember).
Scenario: Capture and Control (I think thats what its called... the one with an objective marker in each deployment zone.)
Deployment: Pitched Battle
Terrain: Mostly Ruined Buildings, a couple pillars, some sandbags.
Special Features: This was part of a campaign and my opponent had the use of tunnels... They were points on the map where my opponent could deploy reserves from. You measure from the point as you would from the table edge. Cannot be used if opposing models are within one inch.
After rolling for scenario and deployment, we rolled for 1st turn/deployment and I won the choice. I chose to deploy/go first.
My objective marker was placed on the 3rd floor of a ruined building close to the center of my deployment 12" deep.
My opponent's objective marker was placed just behind a ruined building close to the center of his deployment 12" deep.
My deployment: My Tacticals I put in combat squads of multimelta with 4 boltguns, and Powerfist, flamer, and 3 boltguns in Razorbacks.
From Left to right; In a ruined building I had one Multimelta Combat Squad near one of my opponents tunnels and a dev squad on the 2nd floor.
To the right of the building I 2 razorbacks side by side. One of the razorbacks also contained in it the librarian.
To the right of the Razorbacks, in the building with the objective, I had a Multimelta Combat Squad on the ground floor next to a tunnel and a dev squad on the third floor next to an objective marker.
To the right of that building, I had my third razorback.
to the right of the third razorback, in some ruins I had a Multimelta Combat Squad near yet another tunnel.
My opponents deployment: From my Left to right; Between the edge of the table and a building was one of the predators.
To the right of the predator, across from my Multimelta combat squad and dev squad, inside of a ruined building was the Obliterator squad along with the sorcerer. A little behind them was the Demon Prince.
To the right of them, between the building and the objective marker, across from my razorbacks was a rhino.
To the right of the rhino, beyond the objective marker was the other rhino.
To the right of that rhino, across from one of my razorbacks was the 2nd predator.
the Squad of 20 khorne Berzerkers were held in reserve.
My turn 1.
I move my razorbacks forward as far as I can. The Multimelta squads I move just enough to make it so they are an inch away from my opponent's tunnels. The dev squads stand still. I deploy my drop pod on my opponent's side of the board between where his demon prince and rhino with no scatter. Upon disembarking I combat squad the Sternguard. One group has 3 Combimeltas 2 bolters and the other has 4 combimeltas and Powerfist... the 3 combi group is facing the rhino and the 4 combi group and powerfist is facing the oblits, sorcerer, and demon prince.
I pop smoke on all razorbacks. With my dev squad on the left I explode a predator. With the dev squad in the middle I imobilize the other predator. With the Sternguard, using the ammo that causes wounds on 2+, I manage to give one of the oblits a wound (I realized a little later I should have just utilized the melta parts of the combi). With the other Sternguard, using the melta, I explode the rhino. My opponent's squad suffers one casualty and is pinned.
My Opponent's turn 1.
The Oblits with the sorcerer move towards the Sterngaurd that shot them. The Demon Prince flies over to the other Sterngaurd. The rhino still alive moves up enough to be beside my razorback with the librarian.
The Oblits shoot at the sternguard killing a couple. The Rhino still alive pops smoke. The Predator still alive fires into the dev squad that shot it but thanks to saves it does not manage to kill any thing (lascannon shot stopped by cover save). From within the rhino still alive, 2 melta shots are fired and destroy the razorback with the librarian. The squad disembarks and is not pinned.
My turn 2.
My librarian and squad GoI to the objective on my opponents side. A couple of the boltergun guys had to take dangerous terrain tests but other than that all is fine. I move up the razorback on the left side just enough so it can still shoot.
The razorback on the right I do the same.
With a dev squad I shoot up the oblits and Sorcerer taking out one oblit and adding a wound to the other as well as to the sorcerer. The demon prince I shoot with a razorback and manage to wound it. With the other dev squad I manage to stun the predator. The other razorback glances the rhino and shakes it. My multimeltas fail to do anything... they either miss or roll ones on wounds or armor penetration. With the squad with the librarian, I manage to take down the pinned chaos squad to 3 models.
My opponent's turn 2.
The Sorcerer separates from the Oblit squad and moves back into the ruin building it started in. I don't remember what the The demon prince did. The chaos squad in the rhino gets out and heads towards my librarian and squad. The berzerkers come out of a tunnel thats in a building around the center of the board close the building that houses my objective marker.
The Sorcerer runs further into the building. The remaining oblit takes a plasmacannon shot at my devs. All survive thanks to cover saves. The chaos marine squad that was previously pinned shoots at the librarian squad. Some casualties were suffered. The other Chaos marine squad shoots at the same librarian squad. Assault results in my librarian and squad getting taken down by the both chaos marine squads and the demon prince... i think. The berzerkers run.
My turn 3.
The multimelta squad over on the left I move towards the berzerkers. The razorback on the left side I move closer towards the objective. The razorback on the right I move forward enough to still be able to shoot.
I fire into the berzerkers with the dev squads and one of the multimelta squads and manage to kill maybe 4 or 5. The multimelta squad in the middle does nothing to the predator. The multimelta squad on the right does nothing to the predator. The razorback on the right shoots at the rhino and does nothing again.
My Opponents turn 3.
The sorcerer goes up a floor in the building he's in. The demon prince flies closer to the building that houses my objective marker. The chaos marines converge to the objective marker on my opponent's side. The berzekers move closer to the building with my objective marker. The rhino moves closer to the same building.
The sorcerer tries to Lash my dev squad on the left but suffers perils of the warp and takes a wound killing him. The demon prince lashes the devsquad on the building one floor down. The oblit sires a plasma cannon shot into the multimelta squad on the left cutting it down to a multimelta and boltgun. The predator fails to kill anything thanks to cover saves.
My opponent rolls enough movement to get the berzerkers into combat with my dev squad in the building with the objective. I lose the dev squad. At this point my opponent holds both objectives.
I don't remember too much of the rest of the game...
I manage to take down his remaining obliterator. Before biting the dust my dev squad and multimelta squad on the left side manage to wound the demon prince in assault... they don't kill him though. My remaining razorback and the squad in it manage to get somewhat close to the objective on the other side but are taken down by the chaos marines waiting there. i manage to take down the predator with a second immobilisation resulting in it being destroyed. The game continues for two more turns beyond the fifth. I managed to get the berzerkers away from the objective marker for a little bit by assaulting with one of my Multimelta squads. They unfortunately get broken from assault and fall prey to the demon prince.
Bottomline I should have been more defensive and surrounded my objective marker having my units being closer together. The sternguard I probably should have run with the librarian like I originally intended and instead of splitting them I should have had them concentrate their fire on the oblits or demon. Or maybe since I did split them, have their fire go against the oblits and demon not the rhino.
Thanks for reading my battle report. This was my first one. These are hard. lol
