So 8 gamers came together today with 5k armies each. We had 3 gamers from Brighton and one of the 1066 members bringing an alliance of chaos Space Marines, Traitor Guard, Necrons & Tyranids. Across from them we saw a firm force of Imperial Knights, Blood Angels, Imperial Guard, Eldar & Space Marines. The scene was set for carnage with 4 titans and at least a score of super heavies on the battle field!
Here is the set up:
The game started strong with some quick alpha strikes from the Necrons Gaux & hay wiring taking out a super heavy. The Chaos Reaver laid out a spattering of damage across a number of super heavies. The imperium return was focused on the Reaver top piling it in one turn as the two armies closed the gap quickly!
The mid game saw super heavies exploding in regular intervals as the war hounds, pylons and bane blades blasted each other to dust. With the Eldar and chaos clashing on one flank an the Nids swarming up the other the centre saw the imperial knights punch through the centre.
The centre saw a knight and stompa dual that ended with a victorious knight. After the break both sides got reinforcements of two super heaves and the return of the pylon & Reaver allowed the chaos to start picking apart the Imperiums lines!
Ultimately the final turn came and both teams were scrambling for the Objectves. One flank saw the Eldar and chaos locked ideally combat but a thunder blitzing bane blade on 1 Hull Point stormed onto the objective. Khan stepped forward to cleave it in two and ended up a red paste! In the centre the foot slogging chaos had secured objectives but the deeply penetrated Knights secured a number of objectives.
But the Nid swarm with super heavy support had rolled through the IG tank line and a single gaunt secured an objective which the imperium failed to charge leaving the final score...
7-5 to the Imperium!
Although the super heavy deaths told a very different story! Great game all!!
