My hero is my Librarians Rhino. Here's what happened,

Phantom Titan is advancing down one flank towards the few Marine Scout stands,
Robots and the command Land Raider. The Phantom has already lost his
holo-fields to a Vortex Missile hit. I've now pretty much run out of things to
kill it with, so I decide to let my Librarian try to Mind Blast it.

He parks his Rhino next to the Titans feet and runs into a building overlooking
the Phantom. I figured that I may as well let the Rhino fire even though the
chance of it doing any damage is pretty miniscule. I rolled a 6 and no
deviation on the aim dice, then he failed a 2+ save and rolled a 6 for damage!
Titan topples over crushing a Warlock, how I laughed.

My other Rhinos seem to be doing pretty well at the moment, in the next battle
against Squats this time, three Rhinos from my Devastator Company were attacked
in close combat by four Squat bikers, the Rhinos killed three bikers for the
loss of only one Rhino, thus holding an objective and giving me enough VP's to
win.
