Quick photo dump of a recent game with my Tempestus playing against my friends Legio, using Solaria Rules to maximise warhounds. This was a first for us as he wanted to play using all AT rules and not just part, so we used stratagems, Legio traits, and I brought out a corrupted titan for a laugh. I might be reading it wrong, but is there a way to get more than 2 strat points other than being the underdog?

My Force was:

Corsair maniple

Aegis Fidelis - Reaver princeps - volcano, chas laser, apoc

Fons Irae - Reaver - chainfist, gatling, top laser

Arma Akimbo - Reaver - melt, gatling, volkite

Neglecta Rege - Warlord - quake, bellicosa, apocs, frozen soul, gelid aura

With my 2 strat points I bought an apoc missile silo.

Opponent had the artillery/nemesis can use LOS of warhounds maniple

Nemesis with laser arms, volcano top

3x hounds with plasma/vulcan

1x hound with twin swarmer missiles. 

I rolled and chose the vital cargo/rescue mission, my opponent chose glory/kill stuff. 

I deployed aggressively with the idea that my fist reaver would rush up and either grab the objective, or run past it and then Arma Akimbo would get it, which worked really nicely. My opponent strangely deployed all the warhounds in cover and left the nemesis out in the open, kind of the opposite of what the maniple is supposed to do - I did point this out but my opponent was happy with his deployment.

Regardless, the warhounds were the real threat and had to be targeted.

Fons Irae full strided outand onto the objective T1 ready for a T2 charge, akimbo followed up, while a few things took potshots. My opponents hounds move blocked one another and stumbled out from behind the building, lighting some things up, most notably the swarmer hound lit up Fons and stripped his shields with the double missiles.

Turn2, Fons charged and fumbled his attacks on the warhound, calling for the head and getting 1 hit for only a direct hit - I forgot the body has lower armour, but I went for the shorter track. In the combat phase, I only did another direct hit, gatlings shot the legs and that was it. That hound moved back. Akimbo moved onto the objective.

Turn 3, Akimbo turned and full strided away from the objectives, losing it's firepower, but securing the objective. The warlord opened up and stripped shields and got kills, frozen soul coming in handy. Fons got focussed down by 3 hounds and went nova, while Aegis had it's shields stripped. I then focussed down a hound, and Aegis was laid low. 

End result, I lost 2 reavers but completed my mission, my opponent had to kill the warlord, so got very few points, but had done more killing than me. 

Frozen soul is cool and I want to try it on a venator reaver with volcano to try and manage the draining from all the free shots.
