The
Battle:
Henri was back and this time he switch his fate weaver bomb for a Coteaz carpark. To be more accurate a Coteaz car park behind an Aegis line back-up by assaulting Storm
Ravens.. This could be unpleasant, fortunately the mission was the
Relic which means both side needed to be a little aggressive to
capture the objective. Also we rolled for night fighting on turn one.
Plus the Sisters got to go frist meaning they have a good chance of
applying early pressure on the Knights
Sisters seize the relic
The
Sisters won the roll off and opted to go first. Two Dominions squads
went into outflank to get around the Aegis line. Two Sisters squad
formed a snatch team to go after the objective. The third sister
squad together with the Imperial Guard Chimera formed a back-up
snatch team. Two Imperial Guard blob squads went of either flank to
provide fire support. Celestine went with the first snatch team. The
pyskers went behind a hill out of sight. In response Coteaz, the
Inquisitor and the Crusaders mounted the Storm Ravens and went into
reserve. The rest of the army deployed behind the Aegis line over
looking the Relic.
Turn
one saw the snatch team go in. One squad grabbed the Relic while the
other moved to protect them. Shooting was ineffective between the
Aegis line and night fighting. But one lascannon team managed to take
out a Psyback must to every bodies surprise. The Grey Knights started
blasting. The shielding Rhino was wrecked but still blocked line of
sight. Several gaurdsmen were killed as the Knights tried to get at
the lascannon teams.
A
Dominion squad made an appearance again on the wrong side of the
table. Celestine broke cover and flamed and assaulted an intercept
gun in the Aegis hoping to tight up some fire elements. The Sisters
with the Relic began the slow walk back to their table edge with
another rhino again blocking line of sight. Lascannon fire was
ineffective only glancing some of the riflemen. Coteaz and both storm
Raven put in an appearance. Coteaz's opted to go straight after the
Relic while the second Raven tried to get ahead of the retreating
squad. A rifle men went after Celestine and gunned her down on his
first attempt. The Storm Raven destroyed another shielding rhino and
dropped several of the squad but the Sister Superior kept hold of the
Relic.
Ravens in pursue
The
second Dominion squad arrived on the right side this time. The squad
destroyed a psiback. Clearing the path for the Immolator to destroy a
Rifleman. Which made for a dramatic entrance. Not to be out down
the other dominion squad took down the Inquisitor Lord Storm Raven.
Killing several henchmen with most surviving thanks to their shields.
Even the Guard chipped in scoring a glancing hit on Coteaz's Raven.
The Snatch team fell back with another rhino moving into to block
line of sight. The pyskers made an appearance to weaken the resolve
of the Inquisitor lord causing him and his squad to fall back further
from the action. Coteaz's and his retinue debussed to go after the
Relic. His Storm Raven swung around. A machine spirit multi melta
shot destroyed the Rhino. While some pyskic missiles destroyed the
Pysker squad except for the overseer. The rest of the car park
switched fire to the Dominion squad that was running around its rear
with melta guns. The resulting destroyed the immolator and all the
sisters except for one fleeing melta gunner. Coteaz's retinue tried
to multi assault against two squads of Sisters, one of which had the
Relic. Snap fire from four flamers and ten rapid fire bolters took
their toll on the squad and when the charge landed the Relic squad
was just out of range and there for safe while the other squad had to
face the wrath of Coteaz alone. The squad survived but stay locked in
combat.
Raven closing in
.
Celestine
got back up and moved after Inquistor Lord. The surviving Dominion
squad destroyed the last Storm Raven with snap fire. Their immolator
tank shocked the Inquisitor lord's retinue further from the action.
The squad in contact with Coteaz survived another round of combat
with just one sister left. The Relic continued to fall-back. The
fleeing melta gunner scored a glancing hit on rifleman. Coteaz
finished of the last Sister and fell back behind a wrecked rhino. The
Inquisitor Lord assaulted and destroyed an immolator.
Sisters shelter the snatch team
With
the Relic safe the Sisters started to hunt for trophy kills. A
Chimera tank shocked Coteaz retinue into the open and a Sister squad
hit it with bolters and flamers to wipe out the retinue and leave
Coteaz alone. Celestine hit the Inquisitor Lord's retinue but the
coward refused a challenge and she could not make any impression on
the retinue's storm shields
With Coteaz giving chase
On
that the game ended
The
Result: Victory. 15-5
