Late Report

Our correspondent in the Grimlach Sector has sent in campod images of our loyal Imperial Guard
thwarting a Necron raid near the abandoned court complex west of Hive Beautific. Necrons incursions
have been steadily reported in the area recently and the Imperial Council dispatched a combined arms force
to eliminate the threat.

Imperial Colonel Roma leads his troops forward


The Necrons advance as Colonel Roma's armor prepare to defend the court building


Necron Lord Sharydan guides his tank killer destroyers forward while Immortals occupy a sandbag bunker


A swarm of scarabs move through a ravine to approach the Imperial armor


On the right, Necron Destroyers prepare to flank the armor from behind the Court building


Sharydan's destroyers light up an APC forcing the troops out


Necron warriors have taken hits - Sharydan calls in a Monolith to shatter the Guard formations.
The Scarabs burst out of the ravine but take heavy fire from Guard tanks who realize the threat


The Monolith causes consternation as the Guard has little to combat it - save their Manticore battery
that happens to be within meters of the hulking Necron construct. The Monolith blast Guard infantry but then -
BLOOIE - it blows up from a direct hit from the Manticore.


The Scarabs have been whittled down to ineffective as the warriors advance, pouring gauss fire
at the armor to no effect


Roma's call for support is finally answered as a Valkyre appears, its Punisher cannons blazing.
Necron warriors and Destroyers fall by the handful


The Necron survivors head for cover and yet manage to cut down the Guard that has bailed out of
the crippled APC


The Necron warriors in the trees dodge the Valkyre's attention but their Gauss rifles do little to
the Guard armor.


The Valkyre turns its guns on the Immortals


On the right, the Necron Destroyers ruin another APC, but it may be too little too late


The Destroyers seek cover in the court ruins as the Guard still have many functional guns
pointing their way. Sharydan, choosing to save what he can, decides to fight another day and
orders his minions to phase out of the area. An eerie silence falls and the Necron threat is contained
by the gallant efforts of our noble Imperial Guard. All hail the Emperor!

Also, the forgeworld punisher-cannon flier is called the vulture, not the valkyrie.

Otherwise I quite like this report, nice pics with some good effort put in to give it a more believable edge. I always like a little more detail in a turn-by-turn breakdown, but the flow is great.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513485/5413810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513485/5413810.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513485/5435567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513485/5435567.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513485/5439926.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513485/5439926.page GMT
