This was a lot of fun. Thanks to the supplier of the mighty Titans. We had many of these machines walking the battlefield. Also thanks to the supplier of the excellent table that we played on. 12 Feet by 6 feet of carnage, with 11,500 points fully painted per side. It looked quite impressive.
Well, enough of my talking, on with the Pictures!
The mighty Warlord Titan that was deployed for the Glory of Chaos!
The Chaos Deployment
More of the Chaos Deployment zone
The view from the Imperial lines
The Imperials had a Tank or two deployed
But they also had some Yellow marines and Eldar
The chaos Warlord decided to mock the Imperials before the game began
The majestic Chaos force prior to turn one
View from the Chaos side
Mid Chaos deployment
Hmm, maybe the mocking was a little early... I am sure that we had some tanks before the Imperials first turn
Yes, the Mighty Warlord went down. Fortunately it didn't go critical.
At the end of 4 turns, we managed to pull a draw somehow. We destroyed one of the midzone objectives by having an obliterator write obscene slogans on it, and no one wanted it after that. For the loss of the Warlord, the other side did lose their Revenant titan, their Knight and the Baneblade.
Our Warlord was slain by a cravenly placed Apocalypse template from the Reaver. While the other side nominated Lysander as their Warlord, so we didn't touch him.
I was very lucky with my rolls on the Biomancy table for my Daemon prince and he ate a Librarian, his terminator bodyguard and two full squads of Eldar jetbikes. Typhus went down and the other Nurgle Chaos Lord just after he killed the Ultramarines Chaplain and offered his unworthy head as a sacrifice was promoted to Spawndom. And a Single Plague Marine was left to contest one of the objectives amongst an imperial tank company and Imperial Fists squad.
However after the first turn of Imperial shooting (note for future games - going first is good unless it is the Golden Fez battle, because our normal opponents deploy guns close up and just try to toast you, like a brick to the side of the head) which was very (very) effective it was not looking good.
At the end of the game the objectives stood at:
Chaos Deployment - Both in the rightful claw of Chaos
No Mans Land - No one held this (Ok, so I only need to not fail one jink save. No worries. Oh, bother, nothing but ones and twos on the dice is not good for success). The other objective had been declared un-collectable due to the nature of the substance used to do the chaos mark on it.
Imperial Deployment - One held by them, one contested by Chaos
Chaos Warlord - Dead
Imperial Warlord - Not Dead
Well, I should get back to some painting now. So many half completed miniatures on my table I really should get some done.
Next post - How to completely blow your plan to only purchase a miniature for each one that you paint in two easy kickstarters...
Cheers.
Awesome work - thanks Ian
