The setup was like this:

No garrisons.
(the IG player forgot about this...oops!)

Steel Legion spread out all across their deployment zone since i had both Orbital Bombardment and a MW-Barrage Titan in my list.

The AMTL set up all their forces to the center and right flank, leaving a lone Warhound to guard the left flank.

Turn 2: Steel Legion wins initiative.

SL: Reg HQ advances towards Forge Knights and fires on them, 1 knight dies.

TL: Forge Knights doubles in front of Tank Co. and fires on them. 1 tank dies.

TL Warhound on right flank retains and engages Tank Co. in a clipping assault. The Warhound wins with the help of supporting fire from the Forge Knights and the Tank Co is wiped out. the TL claims the BTS objective.

SL: Warhound engages Forge Knights but looses the combat! About here the SL-player is ready to give up.

TL: Quake-Reaver sustains on Reg HQ and kills 6 stands of guards and 2 Chimeras (ouch!).

SL: Thunderbolts ground attack Forge knights, 1 BM.

TL: The Sentinels advances into forest and fires on the Reg GQ. ! BM is done and the Reg HQ breaks.

SL: Inf Co, In forest by SL-Blitz sustains on Warhound in front of them. Both shields are stripped.

TL: The Warhound returns the favour and sustains on Inf Co killing 2 stands.

SL: Sentinels advances and fires on Sentinels, 1 BM.

TL: Warhound in the center doubles towards SL-Blitz and fires on Manticores, 1 BM.

SL: Deathstrikes advance towards Forge Knights abd fires on them, 1 BM is done and the Knights break.

TL: Thunderbolts ground attack Deathstrikes and kill 1 of them breaking the formation.

SL player concedes the game. He has only 1 unborken formation on the table (Inf Co) and all the TL Titans are unharmed save for a few stripped shields. If we would have continued to the third Turn his army would have bben wiped out almost completly.

I forgot to take a picture of the end of turn 2. Sorry...

My thoughts:

The Ark Mechanicus is too good for 175 points! It hould be at least 200 points ot even more!

Quake/CLP Reaver is still very deadly. I think I've softened on the change to the CLP. To be able to move and fire indirectly is crazy good!

Forge Knights felt ok for their price, didn't acomplish that much in this game (killed 2 leman russes).

I'm finally getting the feel for this army and think i know how to use it now. Concentrate all power on 1section of the board and make sure to take out all ther AT-fire ASAP.

2 more battlereports to go now!! :-)

Cool, thanks! I'm a bit confused though at your report. You've got that you are using 3.18 for AMTL but you seem to be using most of the current costs. The other question is where are you getting the point value for the spacecraft? 3.22 doesn't have a Gothic cruiser and the price of the Ark was 150 not 175.

I don't think it affects your conclusions, but I thought I should point it out.

I'll try to read over this more thoroughly tomorrow. It's been a crazy weekend. :)

Hmmm.... I'm using the list thats posted in the OP of "AMTL, the push for approved".

But i'm using the armyforge builder to create the list in my first post, with some changes to try to match the correct points.

I think armyforge is messed up then. It's not adding the surcharge on your warhounds either. the 2x inferno ones should be 300 each (275 for the single and +25 for two of the same weapons.). By my count, that puts the list over 3k by 50 points if we use just the latest PDF costs.

Ok, well on a more serious note. It sounds like the dice were a bit evil that game. I think you got lucky with the miss on the deathstrikes. Had that gone though I think the game would have played out quite differently.

I am a bit confused though with that because you mentioned the one missiles stripped all the shields from the Quake Reaver, but the next SL activation says the tank coy did the same. What happened here?

I'm surprised that your opponent didn't make a more concentrated effort to take down the smaller formations or strip the shields on the Reaver before firing the deathstrikes. He certainly had the firepower to crack the warhounds, forge knights, and sentinels!

How did that GB seem? It didn't like they did all that much this game.

The GB didn't do anything special this fight. It feels ok, in no game so far it has felt overpowered. But i still can't see why anyone would take the TLD over the GB... Maybe 5 shots on the GB will make the TLD more attractive.

That's good for the GB. I'd rather battle titans be using GB over the TLD anyway. You'd take a TLD if you run a standard warlord or reaver. The only other time you'd use them is with a warhound. But regardless, with 5 shots or 6 shots the GB is a better choice than the TLD since it performs the same vs armor but better vs infantry.
