Wolf turn 2, Stormwolf arrives and the attack gets serious
 
The Stormwolf destroys one Chimera, it's explosion killing half squad, while a tree branch saves it's second target
 
The TWC get off a charge against a Chimera, it's thunder hammer making short work of it
 
The Guard wipe out the TWC, so GH packs 1 & 2 emerge and kill off Guardman squad and Mortar Team 2. Rhino moves to block LoS
 
Wolf Lord and GH pack 3 move out to take objective, wipe out Guardsman holding objective with bolter fire
 
Following turn, Wolf Lord and GH pack 3 wait for Stormwolf to kill Lord Commissar's Chimera, charge and wipe out Guard Platoon Command Squad and L.C. in single round of CC

GH pack 1 moves to engage either Guardsmen squad or Vanquisher squad on the hill

Center of table, the thinning Guard forces stretch to take multiple objectives

Game ends in favor of the Wolves, 21 to 7. I scored 18 points off of Tactical Cards, as well as Slay the Warlord, Line Breaker and First Blood.

 

For the first three turns, Uberwolve's Guard pound my Wolves very hard but couldnt get through my armor and cover saves. Once the Wolves got amongst the Guard, the game swung my way. I managed to score multiple objectives and through the Cards, got multiple points for wiping out the Warlord and holding multiple objectives for a turn. Thats what ran up the score. 

 

The game itself went 7 turns, and I racked up most of my score during turns 5,6,7. The score doesnt show just how much hate the Guard laid down, but Uberwolve dice just stopped rolling to wound/penetrate once I was broke into his ranks.

 

It was a fun, very fun game and showed me just how insane Maelstrom missions can be. If you asked me on Turns 2 or 3 I would have swore up and down the Guard were going to win the game. A few cards later and a boatload of luck, the Wolves were among the prey.

My army was:
Wolf Lord in TDA, Black Death, frost sword, Helm of Durfast (only took helm to eat up remaining points)
2x10 GH packs in Rhinos, kitted out.

1x10 GH pack in Stormwolf

Thunderwolf Cac 1x 4

list ended at 1,499pts

Uberwolve had (from memory)

Lord Commissar, no extra equipment

1 min Guard Platoon, in Chimeras

1 min Guard Platoon, in Chimeras with Autocannons

2x3 Mortar Teams

1x3 Missile Team with Flakk Missiles

2x4 Ratling Snipers.

 

Hope you all enjoyed the read!
