Terrain and deployment
As you can see its a massive mech force against my all foot khorne army.... lets see how this turns out.
The sisters got first turn and Race forward. None of their flamers are in range so it goes to Khorne.
The bezerkers run forward eager to get to grips with the enemy. The thunderwolves crash into each flank trying to tear into the steel plating of the immolators. Successfully opening one of the boxes and suppressing two with the lord.
This seemed to piss off the sisters sufficiently and turning on the pilot lights on their immolators the firestorm started. Stormtrooper Rhinos also rushed onto the field. Disembarking one of the squads rapid fired into the southern zerker squad. (I knew he was going to try something down there) After the fires died down the losses were 5 thunderwolves and 6 bezerkers. Not to bad for Khorne.
Moving up again the large squads started coming into range. On the right flank a dozen bolt pistols fired into the sisters on the hill and managed to cause minimal casualties. The center squad fired their melta guns and immobilized the immolator in front of them. Then failed to roll high enough to get out of the terrain and assault the tank. The squad on the left flank fired their melta guns to no effect on the immolator bearing down on them. In the south the squad fired then charged up the hill to wipe the stormtroopers from the board. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!! and the lord with thunderwolf in tow finished off the damaged tanks they were close to in the center.
Seeing that they were going to be bogged down the immolator on the left flank tried to swing wide of the bezerkers and deployed the sisters to get firing angles on the southern squad. The Rhino of the deceased stormtroopers tank shocked through the squad to make a dash for the objective. My Squad obliged and quickly moved out of the way. Combined shooting from the stormtroopers and the Celestine squad killed off the last thunderwolf leaving the lord to take a charge by the sisters that he accepted killing one of them for the loss of one wound. The squad on the right flank took heavy losses from 4 immolators, storm troopers and the sister squad on the hill.
In the center the squad moved from the cover and fired into the immolator with their melta. Destroying the tank. In the south there was the potential for a huge 3 way multi charge but I was dumb and took a potshot at the tank wrecking it... no charge for me. on the right the rear squad fired their meltas and blew the immolator on the hill, the remainder of the first squad charged forward and destroyed another immolator and on the left the boys weren't so lucky but managed to shake and immobilise the immolators there. The reserve squad started to react to the rhino coming their way but was "just" out of range for melta love. The Lord continued to slow kill the squad he was in close combat with while they failed to damage him and held firm.
On the right massed plasma bolter and immolator fire killed many and broke the lead squad sending them packing. In the center the lord was finally dragged from his mount by the Celestine. On the left the squads both disembarked and through too freaking many flamer templates scorched the bezerkers there. In the south the sisters killed off a few bezerkers and he forgot to do anything with the rhino.
In the center the zerkers decided to break cover and charge the Celestine unit. Wiping them out and setting up tp get the storm troopers the next turn. On the right the squad that was fleeing continued to run and the backup squad fired melta missing the immolator but they made up for it by popping it in assault. On the left the squad moved around getting a multi charge off destroying the immolator and getting a few of the sisters who held firm in the face of bloody chain axes. In the south the squad there charged the sisters that flamed them and pushed through to the next unit. The reserve fired melta and popped the empty rhino.
Here is where the dice finally abandoned me. On the right the squad was pelted with plasma and the entire flank folded with both berserk squads now running for the hills. In the center heavy flamer templates followed by very accurate plasma from the stormtroopers in the building killed enough to make them break and run back into their hiding holes. On the right the combat ground to a halt with minimal or no losses to either side in both combats.
Here is where we decided to call the game. With his my troops running on most of the front and the sisters still having a hefty fire base I couldn't hope to get through for at least 2 turns and my reserve squad untouched to backtrack to the objective they are guarding there was nothing left but to call it a draw. (and the store owner was walking around starting the "were closing down" countdown) Over all it was a fun polar opposite game with massive amounts of bloodshed. The guy running the sisters is great to play against in a fun game like this, he is absolutely brutal when it comes to tourneys though and it was fun to shoot the breeze while neither of us was under pressure.
In the end though Khorne won, Khorne always wins.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!
