Was a very interesting “data download” mission, along with me trying to fulfill a campaign oath of moment. I had challenged myself to kill all his automata and all his HQs to send a TRVTH NVKE onto the traitor held territory, if I were to fail they’d get an entrance into our back line.

Turn 1: both of us were firing in the dark, even our best shots had trouble finding their targets. The Tsons made it on 2/3 objectives, and started their downloads.

Turn 2: My Warmonger/Forge Lord decided to make appearances, and deftly cut into the traitors. The Forge Lord and Thallax jumped from the sky and blew 2 castellans to bits, but unfortunately got routed after the enemy forgelord killed mine. They had thoughts of revenge, however. Then, my Warmonger and Immortals dropped down and plinked precious wounds off the Thanatar via Grav shredder assault, then charged in. My Deredeo cleared off the middle objective while I captured the third.

Turn 3: Sheer luck let my LR survive this long against 3 Vanquisher leman Russes, allowing my Praetor and another 10 immortals to take the point recently cleared by the Deredeo.

Turn 4: A Tsons command squad was dislocated, and managed to kill my Predator. Then, the vanquishers finally destroyed my Land Raider. A crying shame!

Turn 5: My now unrouted Thallax decided to bet off their asses, and meltabombed the Russ squad. The Warmonger helped, as he was close enough to charge, and they killed 2 Russes.

Great game all in all, 11-7.
