The BA las/plas razorbacks deploy at the rear on the hill, ready to deal with any backline drop pod arrivals, both land raiders are deployed centrally with both vindies deployed to the left of the BA redeemer which carries the librarian with shield of sanguinius, the last razorback is set up behind the scouts redeemer with mephistion deploying beside it. The land speeder storms are deployed on either side of this line of armour the Charcharadons place everything into reserve, 4 drop pods and both units of termies are arriving by deepstrike. the shadow stalkers deploy all three of thier predators on the hill at the rear, all tactical squads are combat squaded, one combat squad is deployed with a rhino at the rear the other three transports form a screen at the front of thier deployment zone, both the left and right rhinos carry combat squads the centre razorback carries the captain and command squad. the remaining combat squads are deployed in and around cover. The scout snipers deploy in the ruins on the BA/scouts right flank the land speeder storms scout move forward to 12" away from the enemies deployment zone http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/001-2.jpg http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/002-2.jpg http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/003-3.jpg http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/004-3.jpg BA/Scouts turn one: the land speeder storms move forward within striking range of two of the space marine rhinos, one on the right flank, the other more centralised captains razorback is also targetted, the redeemers and vindicators all move forward 12" with the razorback and mephiston using wings moved up to thier rear the scout squads disembarked from thier storm speeders and took aim at thier targets. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/005-3.jpg in shooting the land speeder storm and sergeants combi-melta destroys the razorback, one of the scouts died in the resulting explosion the land speeder crew on the right flank shook the rhino whilst the land speeder storm itself targetted the rhino at the rear destroying it the snipers took aim at the command squad, at such long range two scouts couldnt shoot, in an amazing feat of marksmanship Telion caused two rending hits, his fellow scouts managed two rends and two normal wounds. Due to the LSS and scouts offering cover all but two saves were made, as luck goes both meltaguns were killed (ironically they were the two normal wounds, all rends were saved) in close combat the scouts facing the command squad decided not to assault forcing their opponents to waste thier next turn to deal with them, on the right the scouts charged the rhino wrecking it with meltabombs and krak grenades. Shadow stalker/Charcharadons turn one: two drop pods enter the game, the first carrying a tactical squad (charcharadon tac squads have pistol/ccws) lands behind the vindicators, the second drop pod carrying the dreadnought lands infront of the snipers, blocking thier LOS and allowing the dread to get a bead on the scouts redeemer. the space marines made little movement, the captain and command squad shuffled forwards towards the LSS team as did the combat squad recently disembarked on the right the rhino on the left flank moved forward slightly to within rapid fire range of the storm. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/007-3.jpg http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/008-3.jpg http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/010-3.jpg shooting starts with the combat squad firing at the LSS scouts on the right flank, http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/009-3.jpg luck isnt on thier side, no casualties are caused, the dread continues the trend by failing to penetrate the armour of the redeemer. the charcharadons regain some honour by shooting at the rear of a vindicator destroying it, both a tactical combat squad and a plasma pistol/plasmagun combo from the rhino on the left target the LSS on the left destroying its weapon and immobilising it. the pilot pulls out a su-do-ku and puts his feet up. the preds on the hill open fire, an auto/las pred stuns the second vindicator, the second auto/las pred destroys the LSS on the right flank, all other shooting is a wash. in assault the captain and command squad charge the scouts wiping them out before consolidating backwards, on the right flank the combat squad charges the LSS scouts, they make one kill each and draw combat. after turn one: http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/011-3.jpg BA/Scouts turn 2: The BA razorbacks move along the hill to get better LOS on the dreadnought, both redeemers and the trailing razorback move forwards to just outside the enemies DZ, mephiston hangs back to deal with the charcharadons, the vindicator is stun locked for this turn. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/012-3.jpg http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/013-3.jpg in shooting the razorbacks manage to destroy the DCCW on the dread, the scouts redeemer used Potms to fire its MM at the same target immobilising it. the snipers who fared so well against a long range target in the first turn try something a little simpler and fire at the drop pod right infront of them, apparently it was a little too simple and they all miss or fail to cause any damage. Mephiston kills a charcharadon with his plasma before charging in. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/014-3.jpg mephiston kills 4 marines who deal no damage in return, they hold thier ground, meanwhile the scouts on the right who now have twice the attacks of thier opponents fail to cause any damage, lose one man and flee Shadow stalkers/Charcharadons turn two: both remaining drop pods roll to arrive, the terminatos however do not. one squad lands beside the razorbacks at the rear, the second arrives next to the immobilsed dread in order to deal with the snipers. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/015-3.jpg http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/016-3.jpg the now freed combat squad with melta moves towards the scouts redeemer, the combat squad on the left flank disembarks from its rhino and moves towards the BA redeemer, the command squad shuffle forwards. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/017-3.jpg in shooting the charcharadons near the snipers killed two with shooting, snipers from thier own side kill one of the fleeing LSS scouts causing them to flee further away. the scouts redeemer is immobilised by meltas whilst the BA redeemer has its twin assault cannons destroyed by lascannons from the predators on the hill. in assault mephiston kills two more charcharadons, but they cause a wound in return and hold. the tac squad on the left flank tries to bring down the redeemer with a powerfist, but cause no damage. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/018-2.jpg BA/Scouts turn three: the two man LSS team continues to run as the dread prevents thier rallying all three BA razorbacks move away from the charcharadons at the rear, all three squads disembark to deal with them decisively before the arrival of the terminators. the BA redeemer moves through the crater and the death company disembark infront of the captain and command squad, khan, cassius and thier scout escort also disembark from thier redeemer and move towards the hill. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/020-3.jpg http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/021-1.jpg http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/batreps/022.jpg the scouts redeemer finally destroys the dread with its multi-melta, whilst a BA razorback wrecks the drop pod belonging to the dread. shooting from the death company kills a command squad member and they choose to fall back 7" (sadly not enough to avoid assault) the heavy flamer from the razorback and the flamestorm cannon on the BA redeemer account for one tac marine each from the powerfist combat squad. the assault marines and razorbacks on the hill at the rear kill 6 of the charcharadons, whilst Telions scouts miss thier shots against the newly arrived charcharadons near thier postion, Telion makes up for it by shooting the Pw armed sergeant in the face and decorating his friends with his brains In assault khan, cassius and the scouts multi-charge 3 combat squads, the two on the hill and the one behind them carrying the meltas Khan and the two scouts in combat with the rear combat squad kill all four men (khan kills 2). Cassius kills two from the second combat squad and scouts kill a single man from the last squad. in return the tac marines kill two scouts before the scouts powerfist polishes another two. 9 kills to 2, of the two units left in combat (one four man, one solo) both break and flee, the four man squad flees towards the table edge near the predator, the single marine is caught by the scouts and is forced to make seven saving throws, failing just one and is removed, the scouts consolidate to within 6" of the fleeing unit. the death company charge the command squad, the captain kills one DC but the death company kill the company champion leaving the captain to face the rest alone, the powerfist makes short work of him and they consoldiate towards the nearest opponents (the squads on the hill engaged with the scouts) Mephy kills the last two charcharadons whilst the BA assault squads charge and kill the last four at the rear.

Kierdale Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 A very fun read! Interesting to see a full-scout army in action, too. And the plethora of photos really helped. Great stuff!
