The two Praetorian are behind that red box at top left

We roll for a quadrant and the first marker drops on top of the white building at the top-right.

I move my Myrmidon and take a shot at the Tomb Blade, causing a wound that it promptly saves on its RP save. Deflagrate hits do nothing. Note that in Killzone, being in cover causes the shooter to have -1 BS, as does the shooting at a target over half of your weapon's range.
The Tomb Blade then shoots back, causing 1 wound on my Myrmidon.

I move the first Skitarii unit up, they shoot at the same Tomb Blade but it saves everything.

His Pariah moves up a bit, behind the same white building. I move my Thallax ahead and take yet one more shot at the Tomb Blade (I really want it dead looks like), which it easily saves.

His other Tomb Blade moves onto the building, claiming the marker.

However my second Thallax, with the Plasma Fusil, takes a shot at the exposed Tomb Blade on the building, killing it and granting me First Blood.

Over the rest of the board, the Wraith and the Praetorians move forward and my other Skitarii unit enters a building and my Magos moves around a bit.

Another marker drops, pretty close to my Thallax.


My Skitarii move into cover and shoot yet again at the same Tomb Blade as before, doing nothing. The Tomb Blade then shoots back, killing one Skitarii but they pass their Nerve test (In Killzone, if a model dies within 3" to a unit/model, that unit/model has to take a Pinning test, called Nerve test.)

My Plasma Fusil Thallax moves to the left, shoots at the Wraith which saves everything and then jet pack moves (in Killzone, as there are only a few units and a lot of terrain, jet pack moves are halved rounding up) next to the marker, but is a hair short of getting it.

The Wraith then jumps next to my Myrmidon...

Charges him... (Overwatch does nothing)

And proceeds to tear him apart.

Over to the left side of the table, my Skitarii fire at the right Paetorian and actually kill him

His other Praetorian then moves up, shoots ineffectively and charges the Skitarii in the building. I do 1 wound but he saves it on his RP test. Now, unfortunately for my opponent, his attacks also completely miss, so we remain locked in combat for next turn (Here I could have chosen to break away from combat, since Killzone rules it that if you can leave voluntarily from a combat if it was a draw and your opponent gets to chase you (like sweeping advance), however if he catches you, you just stay locked in combat, you don't die)

My other Thallax shoots at his Wraith, but misses.

The Tomb Blade moves a bit and fires at my Magos, but is misses.

The Magos enters the building then fires at the Wraith, but also misses. (Man, its hard to hit in Killzone)

The Paraih then attempts to climb the building (in Killzone climbing requires an Initiative test) but with his poor initiative fails to do so.

The next marker drops close to my Magos.

My Plasma Fusil Thallax grabs the objective and shoots at the Wraith but does nothing at all. (And you thought Wraiths are tough in regular games )

The Wraith then assaults the Skitarii, who along with the Thallax Overwatch with no effect (in Killzone, if a model/unit is charged, all friendly units/models within 3" get to Overwatch). The Wraith then proceeds to roll pretty poorly and only manages to kill a single Skitarii. They then attack back, causing 1 wound on the Wraith . My Magos then attempts to join the combat, but fail his charge.

The Tomb Blade then shoots at the Thallax, but it saves the wounds.

My Thallax assaults the Wraith and proceeds to kill it.

His Pariah moves forward buring a couple Skitarii with his Gauntlet but then fail to get into assault with them. At the other side of the board, his Praetorian kills one Skitarii but they hold.

Another marker drops pretty close to my table edge.

My Thallax moves up, shoots at his Tomb Blade, causing a Rending hit and killing it. It then jet pack moves back a bit, away from the Pariah.

His Pariah moves up, flames both the lone Skitarii and the Thallax but causes no wounds. He then attempts to charge the Thallax but he rolls and fails completely.

The lone Skitarii then moves back a bit and takes a shot at the Pariah, causing a wound!

His last Tomb Blade then takes revenge for his lord, killing the single Skitarii.

My Magos grabs the marker and fires at the Pariah, doing no wounds to him. I then think about charging in, but only with a Power Axe, I would strike at I1, meaning that his lord would get a couple swings in, probably killing my Magos. So I just stay there, looking at him.

Back to the far side of the table, where no one cares what's going on, the Skitarii manage to kill the Praetorian but he also kills one Skitarii (they have the same initiative) and they fail morale, running back 12" (in Killzone, any unit that fails morale runs 12", not 2D6").

My Thallax them moves behind his Tomb Blade, killing it.

His Pariah then moves, flaming both my Magos and my Thallax but causing no wounds on either of them. He then charges my Magos, takes 1 wound from Overwatch and proceeds to roll the following:

Man, luck is really not on my opponent's side!
My Magos then kills his Pariah.

At that point we decide to end the game, since the Necrons have no chance, only with a single Tomb Blade holding a marker remaining.

Mechanicum take this game 8-0

Well, the dice were on my side for most of the game, considering my opponent failed three 2+ saves on his Pariah in a row. Anyway, it was a nice game and we learned a lot about the game as well as army compositions. We hope that we will have more games in the future!.
