Worldeaters (Sigis) vs. Ahr-zair Eldar (Jas) 2000pts.

Mission: Annihilation
Sigis WINS
Kill points:

Aerevin felt dread as the horizon blackened, heralding the approach of their enemy. For a thousand and sixty tender years of eldar life, the fear of death was never been this near. There was no quarter for forces of Chaos. They knew no reason but war. He tightened his grip on his spiritstone and steeled himself from the feeling and addressed his forces “The time for battle has come once again my kins. Khaine’s blessing be upon us. We shall slaughter them from a distance with our guns and…” Not finishing his words a deep loud howl came from the enemy lines. A sound so chilling, so demonic.

A huge winged creature towering twice the size of a man stood before them. It’s face painted with a sadistic grin. Behind him strode a hulking machination with 6 legs and heavy armoured tanks consigned to the ruinous power they worship. The farseer denied his fear to grip him and turned his eyes to the Avatar who in turn roared a challenge out to the hellish being. In his mind the Eye of Isha weeps, an omen of grief and sadness. They are doomed from the start.

TURN 1

Jas would pick his targets carefully and wouldn’t want to engage the blood crazed Khorne army early in CQB. Assigning his Falcon, Wave Serpent, and Vyphers as tank disposal unit; the Falcon adjusting its guns at the Land Raider and Vyphers took the right flank to get a clear shot at the Rhinos screened by the Land Raider. The guardians bide their time in their lines just waiting for targets to pop out off the tanks. The Avatar strode forward, its eyes on the Daemon Prince. With guns blazing Jas just managed to immobilized a Rhino. The Wraithlord tried to take a shot at the Land Raider with its brightlance but the daemonic possessed armor was such a bother Jas thought.

The Khorne tanks roared their engines to shorten their distance with the enemy for the assault. The Daemon Prince, Kharn, and Raptors kept themselves covered from enemy fire. The Defiler rocked the eldar troops with its battlecannon. The Land Raider managed to wound the Wraithlord twice with its lascannons. The construct down to one wound.

TURN 2

Sensing that the enemy is closing in. Jas desperately wanted to deal with the armoured carriers hoping to kill some of the passengers and eventually killing more in a planned crossfire. The Wave Serpent disgorged its passengers, Fire Dragons and Farseer with his Warlock tooled up to punch a hole on the Land Raider. Vyphers closing in for the kill. The Warlock was the only one that was able to stop the Land Raider and destroying one of its lascannon. The Wraithlord’s brightlance just glanced its thick armoured hull. The Falcons firing were all dud. Thus, Jas wasn’t able to force the troops out as planned.

The Khorne army would taste blood this turn. Sigis let loose his berserkers in a frenzy of slaughter just within assault range with the Daemon Prince and Kharn in tow. The Raptors took to the sky to deal with the Vyphers finishing off the whole squadron in a sweep. The Land Raider finished off the Wraithlord with its remaining guns. The Defiler blasted the Falcon its Banshee passengers unscathed. The Daemon Prince, and Avatar locked in combat steel and claw. The fiend fell before it can wound the nigh indestructible avatar of Khaine. The berserkers slaughtered the whole squad of guardians. Kharn in bloodlust finishing off the smaller squad of guardians and killing one of his own men ( the Betrayer that he is). With blind fury he picked a new target…the Avatar!

TURN 3

There wasn’t much shooting this turn. Only the Farseer’s squad fired at the berserkers heading their way felling 3 with the Fire Dragons deadly fusion guns. The Banshees fleet their way to get into combat with the squad near the butte. The Avatar felt it had not enough of the fallen Daemon Prince, it saw the Chaos Champion and ran towards his new quarry. The Banshees engaged the Berserkers and managed to wipe them out but three of their kin fell from the vicious chain axes and head towards the bloodthirsty Chaos Champion. The Farseer’s squad stayed as if disoriented.

Sigis moved his Raptors close to the squad of the Farseer hoping to drop their numbers to a few but due to the Psychic Power Fortune none fell. Sigis went on with the slaugher of the remaining squad of guardians. He ganged up the Farseer’s squad with his Berserker and Raptor squads managing to kill two of the Aspect Warriors. The much-awaited battle of the Avatar and Chaos Champion ensued. Both combat monsters are at full wounds striking simultaneously. The Avatar would kill Kharn we thought but lo the damn champion made his two invulnerable saves. Kharn in turn with one full sweep of his daemonic axe sent the god back to the wraithcore where it came from.

TURN 4

At this point Jas could only hope to wipe the Raptor or Berserker Squad in the melee. He killed only two Berserkers in the process. Not enough. His Banshees made an attempt to kill Kharn with his Banshees but to no avail and ended up all dead in the hands of the madman.

There’s nothing much for Sigis to do but try and finish off the Farseer’s squad. In the end what remained were the Farseer, Exarch, and a Fire Dragon fighting for their fragile lives. All taken by the followers of Khorne. What became of them none know for sure.

Swooping down from the sky, a winged tyrant, flying down towards the guardsmen outpost. A tyrant with 3 guards, 2 broods of genestealers, 2 gunfex, and a heavy gunfex lurked out from the forest, rushing towards their prey. Defending for their lives, the imperial guardsmen shot their weapons towards rushing herd, wounding the tyrant and killing some genestealers. The basilisk fired its cannons and killed a tyrant guard in return.

But the Hive is fast, the winged tyrant caught 2 roughriders and was held in combat. The 2 gunfex fired their bio weapons on the guardsmen, killing as many as they can before they feed on them. The junior officer and his squad together with the commissar prepared for close combat to aid the rough riders. The conscript squad was also commanded to aid the surviving rough riders, but the tyrant was so tough, made the rough riders scream in fear and fell back.

2 Sentinel and 2 squads of heavy flamers tried to outflank the swarming Hive, aiding thier falling guardsmen. But it wasnt enough, as another swarm of genestealers moved from behind, killing whatever they touched. The hive fleet conqueror proved its name again, as they fed the lifeless bodies of the Imperial guard.

Invasion

February 1, 2009 – Sunday

Fought on Forge World Aegis 7
2k Game - Ian (Hive fleet Conqueror) vs. Mike (Ultramarines)
Annihilation – Dawn of War
Ian Wins with 9kp against Mike’s 8kp – Close but no dice!

M41.78.01.31 – Preparations
After a near defeat at the hands of Demons, the Patrol was not finished, Librarian Sevein felt a disturbance, and He knew the hive fleet was coming, it was an invasion! He quickly called for reinforcements from Battle Barge Achromatous; Master of the Forge Thestor heeded the call! And 2 Thunderhawks came plunging from the skies to deliver its cargo of 3 Dreadnoughts, 3 Tactical Squads, a Terminator Squad, and Terminator Assault Squad in a Landraider.

M41.78.02.02 – Invasion Begins
Preparations were made hastily; as the hive approached the sky became black with their massive numbers, large monstrous creatures, Librarian Sevein, called them out as they arrived on surface. 5 Carnifex, 2 Hive Tyrants with guards, a brood of Hormogaunts and 2 broods of Genestealers, or was it 3?! It would take the hive another day to reach our location, but we were meeting them head on!

M41.78.02.03
As the dawn came, we bolstered our defenses, said our prayers, and readied ourselves for the trials to come. But within the next minutes, the hive has just taken the initiative! The beast thundered across the field, but with calm and resilience, we focused our efforts on ridding this planet of its foul presence, Epistolary Sevein maneuvered his squad to the right while every battle brother, with the aid of the Venerated Dreadnoughts singled out the larger beast! One by one they fell, plunging to the ground like heavy rocks, with triumphant jubilation for each dead monster; a battle brother would shout his last battle cry! It would not be enough, we had to tactically withdrew, but with each step back we took, we made them pay for it, dearly! We knew this was just the beginning, we called in an additional battle cruiser, this is the prelude to a larger conflict, Chapter Master Marneus Calgar knew this and is prepared to hold nothing back!

The Beast of The Warp

January 11, 2009 - Saturday
Game 2
1500 Points – Spearhead – Capture and control
Mike (Ultramarines) vs Mike 2 (Chaos Demons Slanesh)

M41.78.01.12
We received an urgent “Patrol - Seek and Destroy” order from Inquisitor______* to the Planet Aegis 7 classed as a Forge world . And Reports of a newly detected anomaly was the target of the Patrol.

M41.78.01.13 – Planet Side
After an uneventful warp to system, we immediately setup a Command base within striking distance of the Objective; the Patrol was to be a Textbook Spearhead maneuver. Brother Librarian Sevein leaded the Patrol. Adorning himself with Dreadnought Tactical Armor and taking 4 Tactical Squads 2 of them in Rhinos, a Landraider w/ Dreadnought Tactical Armor Assault Squad.

As we approached the anomaly Brother Librarian Sevein barked out “Beware, I feel the presence of foul demons, brothers!” The air around went still as a number of demons materialize from the warp, Daemons of old on beast of abomination (Blood crushers)! And large demons whose body on defilers (Soul grinders)! “Stand fast my brothers!” Sevein said. We quickly assaulted the foul beast, counting on the ferocity of our attacks, the Blood crushers succumb to out attack, while small foul wiry beast shot us with lightning bolts, and we duly answered back with our holy bolters! As one beast fell many more appeared, “looks like were in it for the long haul brothers!” our sergeant said. The landraider shot its lascannons in support of our assaults. We fought long and hard, but were overcome by the ruinous powers; it seems all our efforts would be loss, for as the beast wounded and died, it would lash out one last time and befell many of our brothers! The anomaly disappeared as soon as it came into materium, all was not loss, many a foul beast died, and as for the fallen, they will be in the presence of the Emperor! Alas, but nothing was gained!

Battle Bunker: 2000pts- Hive Fleet Conqueror (kuneho) vs Space Marines(mike)

Mission: Capture and control
Deployment: pitch battle
terrain: ruins and buildings

Mike won the roll and deploys all his units; while i deploy everything except for outflanking genestealers

Turn 1: mike moved both his land raider and vindicator 6" while his rhinos moved on my right flank. moved his squads to get good firing position. his shooting killed 2 of my tyrant guard and wounding one of my fex.

i moved everything forward and ran towards him to get a quick assault. my two tyrants fired at his vindicator and dealt nothing.

Turn 2: tyranids closing in, mike moved his units away from me. shooting from a vindicator causes him to kill one more tyrant guard, leaving one of my tyrants with no guard. while the other tyrant guard from my second tyrant was killed by a plasma cannon from a dreadnaught. one of my assault fex was reduced to only one wound by the landraider's firepower.

one of my genestealers moved to his right flank, leaving one of mike's squad prone to assault. i moved everything forward and, again, ran. venom cannons and devourer shots causes the vindicator to be shaken. as my genestealers assaults one of his squad in cover, he killed one before the genestealers can strike leaving 5 models. mike decided to fall back, but failed due t the brood high initiative, killing another model.

Turn 3: mike prepared for a counter assault, mike disembarked his 6 strong assault termies and moved his land raider and vindicator 12" away. mike's dreadnaught, HQ on bike, and one 10 strong marine squad to closed in to my genestealers to help their comrades. his shooting was unsuccessful firing one of its lascannon to my wounded fex. another squad that disembarked fires their melta and bolters and killed the wounded assault fex. his termies assaulted one of my assault fex clipping another gunfex, and reducing the assault fex down to a wound and the other gunfex was killed from no retreat rule; and yet managed to kill a stormshield termie. meanwhile, the last 4 marines were hacked down by the genestealers and the marines counter attack made 4 kills which leaves the combat a draw.

still no sign of the other genestealer squad, my unguarded tyrant, 2nd gunfex, and my 16 hormogaunts moved forward to aid the 2 fexed from termies. my other hormogaunt squad was left to our deployment to secure the objective. the remaining fex moved forward to assault the newly disembarked squad. venom cannon shot the vindicator again and caused a stun result. the assault phase was a brutal combat for his termies and wiped them out but in return killed my other assault fex. the genestealers on the other hand was reduced to one and failed their morale and fell back to my nearest synapse. the fex assaulted the 10 strong marines and killed 3 but the powerfist sarge wounded him twice in return. lossed in combat, the marines fell back and were never to return again.

Turn 4: Mike moved his assault squad near to prepare for a counter assault. his Hq followed my retreating genestealer to give the killing blow. his dreadnaught moved forward to get better firing position to my 2nd tyrant and killing another guard. his land raider took the other fex down to one wound left. His Hq managed to kill my lone genestealer in combat.

my wounded fex closed in to his vindicator, with still no signs of the other genestealer brood. tyrant 1 moved forward to give synapse to my hormogaunts. shooting made his dreadnaught shaken and was assaulted by the 2nd tyrant; yet lossed in combat for dealing 2 wounds, killing the remaining guard, and 1 wound for the tyrant for a no retreat rule. but the dreadnaught lost his powerfist in return. the vindicator and one rhino blew up from the Gunfex and the assault fex respectively. the hormogaunts assaulted and killed 2 marines in his other squad and killing 3 of my gaunts. the explosion from the rhino killed another 2 to my gaunt brood.

Turn 5: one of his rhino squad, who i left unnoticed moved forward to my object, which is still another turn away from it. his assault squad moved towards the ongoing assault between my gaunts and his marines. his hq, trusting his relic blade, moved to the assault fex to finally put it down. his shooting from the land raider killed my gunfex (everything hits and wounds and i made no successful saves). the assault killed my last fex by his hq and my gaunts were killed by the assault squad. but before the gaunts fell, it killed two more marines in return. the 2nd tyrant blew off the dread and consolidated on the second floor of the ruins.

at last, the last genestealer brood enters... but on the other side of the table, what the ....? anyways, the tyrant 2 moved towards the remaining marine squad (3 models) fires its vennom cannon and killed one; it fell back away from the objective leaving it unsecured. the sneaky rhino, hoping for one turn, was immobilized by my other tyrant from its venom cannon. no assault was made.

i rolled for an extension turn but rolled a two.... luck was on my side and won the game with my other hormogaunt brood securing one objective....

thanks mike!!! nice game.... ;p

soulless, the Hive tyrant together with the genestealers assaulted the bloodletters and the deamon prince, totally devouring them. The deamon flesh was sweet, better than those of humans. Another batch of deamons arrived, as the juggernaughts slaughtered one of the hormogaunt brood. The bloodthirster was caught by the other hormogaunt brood, holding it until the carnifexes arrived.

The Clenched Fist stood ground, firing lascannon and plasma rounds to the behemoths; landspeeder Tornadoes moved to the flanks trying to take out the genestealers. Sicarius together with his Terminator squad killed every hormogaunt in their way.

The Conqueror was known to be fast and deadly, as Sicarius' sight was covered by 3 huge monsters, that completely annihilates his Terminators squad. Left alone, Sicarius fought for his life. A dreadnought tried to aid, but it was the dreadnought that fell in the scythes of the Hive tyrant. The inevitable happens, as Sicarius was heavily wounded by the swipe of one of the Carnifex. Sicarius fell to his knees, slowly, darkness consumed him. The hive tyrant was about to devour Sicarius' wounded flesh, but a squad of marines diverted its attention, and enraged with anger, took down the tyrant. One of the Rhino Squad successfully salvaged the wounded body of Sicarius away from the behemoths and escaped out of the island.

The fleet was unstoppable, destroying and consuming everything in its path. Albeit outnumbered, it still seemed to be a stalemate for they recovered the almost dead body of Sicarius.

Hestan and his Salamanders was again called upon for another cleanse mission, cleansing another Hive fleet Conqueror infestation. As they arrived the deserted island, the place was all rotten and dead. There were no signs of life form. "Movement up north Commander Hestan." a Salamander said upon looking his auspex. "Call upon the drop pod Salamander squad, we will surprise them!" Hestan said.

Together with his Sternguard and a Librarian, they teleported in front of the rampaging tyranid fleet simultaneously with the drop pod Salamanders. Aiding their back, was 2 rhino squads, 2 Land speeders, a Predator, and a Vindicator. Wasting no time, they fired their bolters and flamers to the rushing hormogaunts, almost wiping them out completely.

As the smoke cleared out, a group of genestealers and a Hive tyrant leaped out killing all of the Sternguard. Hestan and the librarian made a tactical withdrawal, leaving the xenos out in the open. Combined firepower from the Rhino and Drop pod squads killed the genestealers and the Tyrant.

But the Tyranids seemed endless, as more of there battle brothers were massacred; tanks were destroyed by the lumbering carnifexes. Hestan saw a Psychic beam, destroying the Predator tank with just one shot, coming from a Zoanthrope.

Hestan Rallied his Salamanders. Concentrating on one flank, they slowly killed the Xenos along their path. The lumbering behemoths, one by one, fell from the Salamanders. Hestan took one carnifex head down with one slash of his blade. The Salamanders stood triumphant as the Last remaining Xenos was killed.

Result: Ryan Cheung won!!!

Their Objective was to secure two lost wolf scouts who has a vital information on the where abouts of their long aged foe, Hive fleet Conqueror- known to be the current most feared devouring tyranid fleet, the Parasite of Worlds.

As they arrived, wolf priest Barragan and 2 squads of Grey Hunter scouts the area for ambushes and traps.

2000pts: Hive fleet Conqueror(kuneho) vs. Dark Angels(Emcee)

Location: Neutral Grounds Galleria
Date/Time: 29Nov'08/1330hrs
Mission: Seize ground(5 Counters)
Deployment: Spearhead
Terrain type: Hills

It was cold, the Dark Angels were patrolling the area for scattered mis-dropped supply pods, albeit infested with Hive fleet Conqueror's tyranid brood. Low in supplies, it was to the hive fleet's advantage and launched a devouring assault against the Dark Angels. Steadfast and ready, the Dark Angels stood their ground, prepared for the battle of survival, as endless horde of tyranid genus species appeared upon their sight. Master of the Deathwing, Belial, called upon his terminators to assist their battle-brothers in probing for scattered supply pods and scouring any tyranid brood they encounter.

But the hive fleet was fast, as vast amount of hormogaunt and genestealer brood were able to track supply pods and destroyed it. Hive tyrants and rampaging carnifexes, supporting their smaller kind, destroyed everything in its path as a squad of assault marines witnessed by themselves the carnage done to their battle-brothers. They saw how well-choreograph their attacks, moving and killing as one.

Even though being swarmed, the Dark Angels never lose hope, as long as Belial leads them, no matter the odds, victory will still be in their hands. As a Hive tyrant and a carnifex fell from the fists of the terminators, and Belial stood ground as he took down a carnifex, which boost the morale of the Dark Angels.

Outnumbered and low on supply, the Dark Angels were able to salvage enough supply pods. Enough for them to teleport out and prepare for another invasion.


Game Result: draw!!! for having 2 uncontested counters each...

Salubri's Sword of Light vs Deadeye's Tau

Draw!

Eldar and Tau face off on Imperium world. Eldar dash full throttle into enemy deployment zone. With the Tau's first round of shooting being ineffective the battle raged on for 6 gruelling turns. The ball bounced back and forth as the Eldar first wiped out the opponent's fire warriors leaving him unable to claim objectives and then the Tau retaliated by wiping out the dire avengers with 3 well placed shots.

Salubri attempted to annihilate but last turn shooting phases were unproductive and Mike snatches the draw from the jaws of defeat!

As for getting the higher roll for who gets to have the first punch, i won, but I decided to give Joel the first turn; deploying everything except his assault termies. I then deployed my army except for the broodlord and its retinue of genestealers waiting to outflank the space marines.

First Turn:
never tried to seize the initiative so the Space marines made their first move. nothing much on the marines turn, just trying to climb up the city ruins but failing to reach the second floor except for one of the combat squad taking a higher ground and firepower advantage. As usual, the space marines trying to make a flanking move to concentrate their attacks on one flank, killing a few hormogaunts.

the tyranids all moved toward the Space marines, running as fast as possible in reaching their prey. But the hormogaunts failed in reaching 2 squads of space marines due to rough terrain as the predators are now caught in the open.

Second turn:
the marines stand their ground whilst the rhino squads kept moving on the flanks; assault terminators were kept in bay waiting for the right time to make a counter-assault. 2 dreadnoughts moved forward to support their comrades unleashing melta and bolter rounds on the rampaging genestealers and horomogaunts. but the genestealers managed to survive the shots except for one who got disintegrated by the multimelta. combined firepower from the bike squad and the tactical marines managed to wipe out half of both hormogaunt brood. the lone dreadnought on the other side, assaulted the vicious genestealers but got immobilized due to rending claws.

the tyranids rampaged forward, and the 6 huge lumbering carnifexes trampled forward trying to reach their food. the marines felt the ground trembling, with no fear in their hearts, stood their ground as the 6 stomping behemoths crushed their way through. both the remaining hormogaunt brood leaped towards the well-dugged-in marines and managed to kill 4 in one squad and wiped out the other.

Third Turn:
Time for the counter attack, as the assault marines jumped their way through and the bike squad roared forward. The space marine Captain Sicarius called on for assault terminator reinforcement, as it deep-striked in front of tyranid herd. combat squads disembarked their rhinos preparing for a counter assault while one rhino squad sneaked forward towards their objective. one of the remaining hormogaunt brood got whittled down by flamers and bolter fire and wiped out by the assault squad in close combat. the bike squad launched an assault to aid a single marine swarmed by the other hormogaunt brood and managed to wipe out the brood.

as to the loss of the hormogaunt broods, the tyranids surges forward. 2 carnifexes saw the bike squads and rushed towards them, and the 4 remianing giants stomped their way through the marine front line. as to the Marines' surprise, the Hive tyrant soared forward and fired its bio-weapon killing off an assault marine; while the broodlord and its retinue appeared on the flank. the herd spared no time, and rushed forward to consume their prey. 2 carnifexes went for the bike squad and completely wiped it out sparing no lives at all while the hive tyrant and it's guard devoured the assault marines. the broodlord and its retinue assaulted Sicarius and his squad of assault terminators and another combat squad. ripper swarms leaped towards the assault terminators aiding the broodlord. however, even though outnumbered, the marines fought back. Sicarius got wounded but managed on wounding the broodlord. assault terminators pummeled the ripperswarms and the genestealers with their thunderhammers. on the other side, the genestealers managed to blow off the power fist of the immobile dread.

Fourth Turn:
Getting consumed by the tyranid swarm, the remaining marines consolidated and prepared themselves for another counter attack. still, one of the rhino squad sneaks in toward the objective. Sicarius and his terminators killed the broodlord and its retinue, consolidated to a higher ground to make sure that thay are far from the reach of the tyranid monstrosities. away from the hive mind, a genestealer was crushed by the immobile dread and fled towards the Hive tyrant.

3 carnifexes saw the rhino sneaking up from behind and rushed towards it. the hive tyrant rush towards one of the rhino and managed to destroy its tracks leaving it immobile. one of the carnifexes moved forward the immobile dread and completely ravaging it. while feasting on the marine bike squad, the other 2 carnifexes saw another "preys"; the single marine who managed to survive the hormogaunt swarm and another combat squad. but then again, the marines got crushed.

Fifth Turn:
Outnumbered, the marines still stood their ground and moved forward trying to secure the other objective, the remaining dreadnought fired its multimelta wounding one of the behemoth. the sneaking got caught by one of the fexes rushing towards it but managed to get off undamaged. the hive tyrant moved towards the center to rendezvouz with the fleeing genestealers. the other 2 carnifexes, hungry for more, moved toward the other objective as they saw more preys running towards it.

Sixth Turn:
Sicarius and the terminators ran forward to help the remaining marines to secure the objective. while the other rhino squad hoping to reach the other without getting caught by 3 rampaging fexes. the dreadnought, ones more, fired another round of multimelta, and wounding one of the fexes again.

but no one can stop a rampaging carnifex as it caught one of the combat squad and finished it off with one swipe. and consolidated in front of the marine frontline.

Seventh turn:
with their brave hearts, the remaining 2 combat squads and the dreadnought managed to kill one of the wounded fexes by fire power and close combat. but before it went down, it destroyed the dreadnought's torso, keeping it immobile. the assault terminators and sicarius, and the remaining marines secured an objective. on the other side, the rhino squad thought that luck was on their side, free from the 3 rampaging carnifex. suddenly a scything talon can-opened their rhino leaving the combat squad open for the 2 more ferocious carnifex. the hive tyrand and the genestealers rushed toward the secured objective but failed to reach it.

as with one objective safely secured, the remaining marines teleported out of the battlefield. the marines won even though overwhelmed by the tyranid brood...

Battle with the forces of Chaos Deamons (Kim ) vs. Iron Wolves Company of the Space wolves
Space wolves composition:
Venue : Somewhere in Quezon City
Take and Hold- 5 counters, Pitched Battle
Chaos Deamons Wins 2 counters to none for the Wolves!!!

HQ:
Wolf Priest Heidrun
Dreadnought : Brother Sigurdr(Stone)
Troops :
11th Blood Claws (10 members) on the Rhino
1st Grey Hunters Pack (8 members) on the Rhino
2nd Grey Hunters Pack (7 members) on the Rhino

Wolf Priest Heidrun was on a recon Mission when out of nowhere the forces of chaos began dropping in- the initial attack was not devastating but scary non the less with a Greater Daemon, 2 Lesser Daemon squads poping out of nowhere and trapping the GHP inside the Rhino.
The wolves struggled to reposition for a counter attack, But after shooting and failing to eliminate the daemon ( only wounding one of the Large monsters)-The GHP knew that thier end is near- the Demons attack - wipeout the first GHP and even with the help of the scouts who arrived in the rear and was trying to disloge the lesser deamon with thier meltagun and bolt pistols- but in turn was destroyed instead.
After the deamon attacked and destroyed the Pack of Grey Hunters. It was time for the wolves to counter attack!!! Brother Sigurdr assualted the Greater deamon with his powerfist - but to the wolves dismay Brother Sigurdr also failed to kill the Foul Creature !!! The following events was not to the wolves liking as Brother Sigurdr body was crushed by the monstrous creature almost to the point of exploding - making him a useless wreck - The blood Claws on the other hand was able to burn many of the foul Creatures - killing more than half of them - but even this sucessful attack could not alter the course of the battle. Slowly the chaos is tightening its grasp on the objectives. The remaining GHP pack tried to shoot the Greater Deamon but to no avail .
2 more turns followed as the wolves vainly tried to shoot at the deamons and use the Flamer to cleanse the land - While the Deamons tried reposition hoping to surround and trap the Blood Claw inside their Rhino!!!. But this time the Deamons failed in his assualts. But night falls rapidly- As turn 5 ends the game leaving the Chaos with 2 objectives and none for the Iron Wolves.
By dawn the wolves found that the Deamons were gone and it seems that whatever their objective was they have found it. . . and have taken it back with them.

The wolves recovered Brother Sigurdr dreadnought worn down chasis - Later transfered to a new armour to fight for the Iron Wolves.

Nice game Kim!!!

Sisters of Battle vs. Iron Wolves

1000 pts
Battle with the forces of Emperor (Sisters of Battle) (Oberon-Sir Lito) vs. Iron Wolves Company of the Space wolves

Venue : Somewhere in Quezon City
Take and Hold , Spearhead deployment
Tactical Draw: 3 Turns
Space wolves composition:
HQ:
Wolf Priest Heidrun
Dreadnought : Brother Sigurdr(Stone)
Troops :
11th Blood Claws (10 members) on the Rhino
1st Grey Hunters Pack (8 members) on the Rhino
2nd Grey Hunters Pack (7 members) on the Rhino
Wolf Priest Heidrun on recon Mission met the strike force contingent of Sisters of Battle

The exercise gave the Iron Wolves the opportunity to show the Emperors Might on what the Space Wolves can achieve .
Wolf Priest Heirdrun was unsure how the Sisters of Battle would fight – sure enough the Sisters advance rapidly against the 2 rhinos and Brother Sigurdr –The Inquisition using long range missiles to disable Brother Sigurdr Power weapon and engaging the GHP that was left to protect the rear objective with an assassin was a surprise for the wolves - unfamiliar with what they can actually do.(Move my units 6 inches in any direction- Deep Strike - Poison attacks) Now I know heheheh. . .

Really something new for Wolf Priest -“We are caught Flat Footed” the Sisters pinned 2 squads inside the rhino. They(Sisters) where able to attack the Rhino from behind ! By miraculous luck none of the rhino was severly damage – saving the squad of Blood Claws from being Burned alive!!!
The following events help the Iron Wolves get back on it after the Sisters of Battle on foot didn’t reach the battle line to help their fellow Sisters, This time the Iron Wolves got the numbers againts the Witch Hunters, They now face 2 complete squads of Iron Wolves - and the timely arrival of the scouts also helped in eliminating the Sisters Long range fire power –destroying its weapon-with melta bombs. Although the Young Blood Claw Squad failed to finish off the Sisters in their initial assault – here is where the situation was still in the balance. Nevertheless The wolves showed what it could do in close combat - it took them 2 turns finished off the job by destroying the Sisters in HtH combat – The next phase showed the sisters killing off half of the blood claws with long range firepower. . . and the inquisition killing off the group of scouts. Although the battle could have drag on through the day -
The inquisition decided to ask for truce as neither of our units would be able to claim victory objective in two turns -

Here it was decided the battle is over and a truce was agreed upon. . .

Good Training for my wolves who learned how the Sisters fight Her battles –

Draw !!!

Thanks Sir Lito
