TURN 1
Beginning of game:
The EC:
The Subjugators ready for action
SM off-board stuff:
Strategy: EC
Retinue doubles and lays a BM on the scouts, who burn their overwatch and return the BM favor:
Vindicators double and take out a noise marine:
Another retinue doubles and lays a BM on the scouts:
Devastators double and lay another BM (seeing a theme here…):
Predators double and lay a BM on the devs:
The BTS doubles and lays a BM on the preds:
Questar 1 scoffs at the dangerous terrain, doubles and unloads on the speeders. Fancy rolling means only one dies:
The land speeders zip away (probably flipping the scout titan the bird on the way out of Dodge) and put some MW hurt on the retinue, ZoC-ing almost everyone in the process:
Questar 2 doubles and reaches out to the BTS to say hello, taking out a rhino
On a retain, the EC send in snowflake the fearless T-hawk in a mind-blowingly heretical CSM air assault:
Almost all the good guys (except for the SC and a SM) live, the Subjugators win the resolution and all but the dreadnought and icon bearer are hacked down. Snowflake sits there, looking embarrassed.
T-bolts strafe the retinue, laying a BM:
EC supreme commander marches:
T-bolts strafe the hell-knights, laying a BM:
Hell knights double, lay a BM on the vindicators:
Third T-bolt FM strafes another retinue, laying yet another lonely BM.
The goody-two-shoes mirror image of my air assault retinue assaults the preds:
An improbable loss. The tactical retreats to the hill.
The bikes double and lay some BM-hurt on the Hell knights from behind. Being Slaanesh, they merely say “thank you, sir. May I have another?”
Broken snowflake and the T-bolts escape with various numbers of BMs but intact:
End of Turn 1. Hmmm I wonder where all the action will be in turn 2?
The remaining stand of termies is still victorious. A solitary pred escapes the game of “let’s play hacky sack with tanks”
(no surprise they lost a prep assault!)
