Second Battle
Crimson First (Mike) Vs Death Guard ( Dale) Landing of Lord Scoliosis
Planet Strike!
.
The Withering Taints Remembrancers
The great barge entered the system via the warp. It slowly flew into the planets gravity and the front opened up like a rotten mouth spitting phlegm.
The space marines on the planet had enlisted the help of the local militia. 3 squads of hardened fighters gathered from all over the planet. Little did they know that these fighters had positioned themselves for this moment. The leaders had already made contact with the invaders and had their orders weeks before the event. As the skies darkened and the foul ones fell from the skies, they made their move. They turned on the Crimson Fists and opened fire thus was there corruption completed at the start of the battle. The space marine chapter was not forgiving to them, but it was too late. The damage was done and it ran deep. The Death Guard had gotten the positions of the defenders BEFORE the battle and they were taking advantage of it. The Lord Scoliosis pinpointed all of the weak spots in the defense and vaporized 1 squad and did heavy damage to another squad using sniper-like firing from the space barge. As the Death Guard came down to the battlefield, their positions were perfect.
Scoliosis had made a pact with Lord Felthius before the battle and they had agreed upon the attack group. The landing sites were set by mutual agreement and it certainly seemed that this was a good decision. The silly Crimson Fists had not provided any real defense so far, and it didn’t look like they were going to be able to get anything working in this battle. The stupid cultists that were enlisted from the planet had charged the only Fist dreadnaught at the battle and it seemed that the space marines were focused on wiping out the locals instead of the bigger threat coming down from the skies. Whatever.
These fools would be just one more seedling in the great garden that is Nurgle, and one step closer to the engulfing of the planet. The losses were minimal for the Death Guard, while maximum against the Fists, and completely wiping out the sorry cultists that had set this whole thing up.
End result.......... The Withering Taint score a major victory.
Turn 1: The Death Guards Firestrom bombardment devastates the Crimson fist defenders destroying an Agis Gun and almost destroys an entire 10 man tac squad in a set of ruins . The 3 squads of militia that had been sen by the area's governor turn out to be Cultist and open fire on the Crimson Fists . A Second squad of Tactical Marines are encircled in another agis point . Their gun crippled they are charged from all sides by Plague Marines and Terminators . They fight back barely surviving the round .

Turn 2 . The Crimson Fists return fire at anything not wearing Blue . Thunder Fire Cannons placed on the top floor of a building rain down shells on the stumbling herds of Cultist and Poxwalkers . The Tactical marines encircled finally fall to Lord Scoliosis and his retinue.
Turn 3 ; The Crimson fist captain and his Terminator bodyguard continue to pour storm bolter fire into anything that moves. But Nurgles Demons engines and Plague marines pour steady amounts of fire into them. one by one the Terminators Drop along with their Captain , Scouts that have been providing sniper support are caught and killed by Terminators in a building and now Drones circle the bastion in the center grinding away at its ceremite shell.
Turn 4 . Lord Scoliosis forces have all but brushed aside the entire Crimson First forces . Their Bastion crumbles killing a psyker and almost entire Devastator squad inside. It is a near flawless victory for the forces of Nurgle .
Death Guard - 27 Campaign Points
Crimson Fists - 4 Campaign Points
23 Tiles for the Death Guard landing .
Crimson Fists - 4 Campaign Points

Third Battle
Landing of Warsmith Rohalen
Iron Warriors ( Jay ) vs Ultramarines Viatagian (Bill)
Planet Strike !
I had a huge amount of first, and second turn carnage.
-I made sure to save two command points for auspex scan.
-I had figured there maybe a chance to use it if a fortification was destroyed and a good fire power unit was forced to disembark from the destroyed building. It was not as effective as I had hoped, but still good.
-It knocked out 5-6 chaos marines of a ten man squad, but not enough to kill any of the 4 flamers from the same squad that were left.
-Those flamers then fired from 6" away after arriving from reserves and ate up six of the hell blasters they were targeting. Both units then routed in the morale phase, which is in keeping with what almost any unit would do if hit by a flamer or plasma incinerator.
-As Iron Warriors totally out class the Ultramarines in this type of mission with their legion special rules, there were no fortifications remaining at the start of my first turn. The Ultramarine special rule came in handy as a few of my units could fallback and still shoot at -1.
-Defender gets to set the board up. Knowing Iron Warriors allow no cover saves (later forgetting this), the board had only my three buildings, figuring the imperial commander would clear cut and demo all cover because it would only be of use to the Iron Warriors. Kinda like the Russians reportedly did when they were invaded.
-I took a vindicator, and it didn't make it to my first turn.
-I figured that it wouldn't last long, but it is just not fun to unpack a power level 7 model, put it on the table, and then pick it up off the table with only you opponent being able to interact with your unit. That is all the Vindicator really does in this edition in my experience.
Jay had some Forge World rules dread claws that he down played before the game started. I think everyone can who saw this game can agree, they are a VERY GOOD unit for this mission.

StrongHold - Breakthrough Mission .
Crimson Fist forces under Captain Dominguez had fortified ruins on the outer edge of the Ork containment zone around Mungus Town , Lines for sandbags and fortifications gave plenty of cover and obstacles for the defenders, while the Orks had to cross miles of bombed out wastelands to reach them. With one great push the Orks had decided to try and break the defenders backs,
Turn 1. The attack comes at night , The Orks think they are cunning by making a push during the night . But their loud war machines do nothing but let the defenders know they are coming . The defenders open up with missiles , lascannons and other heavy weapons dumping damage into the oncoming battle wagons while the Orks dash forward under the come of their forcefields . Orks fire Grot Bombs in return doing some damage, but not a great amount.
Turn 2 . More heavy weapons fire from the defenders begin to wreck oncoming battle wagons forcing their Orc crews to spill out and push forward on foot. Anything caught out on foot is focussed down by small arms fire . Ork rockets continue to stream overhead wildly as the dawn breaks. With first light two squads of stromboys and Mega Nobs drop down behind the defenders and try to destroy Thunderfire cannon and Whirlwind support.
Turn 3. The Whirlwind and Thunderfire Cannon are able to escape allowing defenders in the back to begin mopping up the stormboy squads. Death Company and Mephiston doing most of the work . But as the Breach is being dealt with . Ork Kanz and Deff Dreads reach the first line of defense . So starts the tactical retreats to new fire points .
Turn 4. Now Chaos , Stormboyz break combat and push out behind the battlefield Nobz and Kanz continue to break through lines , now mixing into melee with Terminators and other space marines. Now a mighty Goranaught shuffles its way to the defensive center to crush the bastion at its strong point. All the while Space Marine disciple keeps the Marines firing still doing so much damage to the on coming Ork tide .
Turn 5 . The Bastion crumbles to the might of Gork , The Ork attack runs out of steam. The orks feel they have done enough destroying the defensive line and having a few units breakthrough and escape the battle. The remaining Orks are pushed back and now the defenders must consolidate their equipment and ready for the next big wave .
We ran out of time at the end . But the game turned into a draw so Im told . I had to leave early also.
Orks campaign points - 4 for escaping units - 2 for Bastion destroyed = 6 points .
Imperials Campaign Points - 4 units of infantry destroyed - 4 battle Wagons destroyed = 6 points
