Played a game of Black Legion vs AMTL using the UK lists. BL list should be the same (or very similar to) NetEA. While the UK titan list is different to NetEA I thought a chaos vs titans report might still be useful following some recent threads on fighting titan armies, as the list still has the power to wipe out entire formations with plasma.

Not tooo much hiding from the titans here, a lot of aggressive attacks on both sides. Just activation-by-activation notes here, rather than a full write up.

Lists
Black Legion
Ret + SC + oblit + pact (BTS)
Ret + rhinos + pact
Ret + rhinos
Terminators + oblit + pact
chosen + dread + pods + pacts
chosen + rhinos
armoured coy (2 LR, 2 pred)
cruiser
hellblades
feral
decimator
(+5 extra LD in demon pool)

AMTL
Warlord + SC + CML (plasma, plasma, plasma, volcano)
Reaver (plasma, plasma, inferno)
Reaver (plasma, plasma, melta)
Warhound (plasma, plasma)
Warhound (inferno, inferno)
Thunderbolts

Deployment
(BL T&H objectives are hard to see here – they are the grey squares spread out in the red area)
Spaceship declared for turn 2.
Chosen garrison foward, chaos BTS garrison just up from their blitz on overwatch. AMTL deploy with 4 titans in the wood by their blitz.


(this image take just after activation one, hence the thunderbolts on CAP)

BL: BTS Marshals and withdraws deeper into woods onto blitz
AMTL: reaver doubles after the BTS on the blitz, shooting leaving the SC and Oblits to flee


– at this point we called the game for BL, as now BL had free reign to take both T&H objectives and blitz uncontested, while having enough auto-activating formations to contest the AMTL T&H and Blitz:
