They do not know why they are here- all they know is they must fight.
My Red Corsairs face off against the Dextra Manus Marines again. We fought in June but it was a very one-sided affair, with my cultists being swept off the board and I didn't take photos. But I've been selling my soul for dark gifts, and my Legionaries are reinforced with some stronger hitting power... We played a 2000 point game of Grimdark Future, jostling for possession of the objectives marked with corpses.
| The foes face off again. |
The Dextra Manus have come with strong armoured support in the form of a Redemptor Dreadnought and a Gladiator Lancer hovertank.
| The Gladiator attacks my Havoc heavy weapon specialists, its main threat. |
| The lascannons return fire, but the tank soaks up the hits. |
I, too, have armoured support:
| Venomcrawler! |
| The Venomcrawler daemon engine scuttles forwards on my left... |
| ... but is overtaken by the terrifying Possessed marines. |
| Behind the loyalists, the warp rips open and Obliterators teleport into action! |
| Obliterators! |
| Their weapons tear the marines apart. |
| The Possessed rip apart a squad of assault marines and their captain. |
| In turn, they fall to the cyberwolf cavalry... |
| ... who are trampled beneath the metal legs of the Venomcrawler. |
| The Gladiator and the Havocs exchange fire. |
| The Havocs succumb to the armoured might of the tank. |
| My Commander uses his psychic might to finally silence the tank. |
| The sole survivor, the Dreadnought, impotently fires at the Venomcrawler and withdraws. |
A 4-3 victory to the ruinous powers. I had some lucky dice rolls, and it was a characteristically fast and brutal game.
I'll be showing off my latest recruits over the next few weeks.
A great report. I love the effects, they add atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Phil, I think they help with the storytelling as well!
DeleteWhat an absolute delight of an AAR, so cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suber!
DeleteGreat fun - not a great result (for me that is.) May have to convince you to go up to 3,000 points next time so I can bring the dreadnought’s older and much bigger brother to the fight!
ReplyDeleteI am experiencing pre-stomping angst...
