Re: [Epic] Battle Report LONG!
We (John (IG) Kevin (IG & Scribe) & Scott(Chaos) ) played the escalating
engagement, IG (no SM stuff) vs Chaos. Chaos used house rules for Chaos
Squats & Androids, as well as Chaos Marine Whirlwinds & Land Speeders. Also,
The Thousand Sons
troops used in the game were heavy infantry (same stats & points as Noise
Marines).
The IG used some of the rules from 41k including mole mortars, Sisters of
Battle and some other support weapons. Although this report is 11 pages or
so the last 6 pages are detachement details. The map in the adjacent E mail
should be very helpful in seeing the flow of the game if you can download it.
It represents things around turn 4.
We also used the Emperors Tarot and the set of Chaos cards from WD. Since the
IG had slightly fewer points they received 9 cards.
We only used 4 objectives per side for a total of 8. The rules would call for
16 but that seemed a bit too much for what is essentially a regimental action.
I ahve someother thoughts on this addressed separately. On the attached map
the objectives are labeled C1-C4 for the Chaos objectives and IG1-IG4 for the
IG objectives. C1, C2, IG1 and IG 2 are cleanse. IG3 Rescue, IG4 and C3 take
and hold. C4 was a
Chaos had right at 4000 points while the IG had 3997 for morale totals of
90 for Chaos vs. 85 for IG.

1st turn
Chaos SM bikes det comes on and takes the two Chaos cleanse objectives. The
IG mole mortar det marches on and moves up into cover on hill #1.
VP: 92 Chaos 85 IG
2nd turn Chaos Initiative, IG to move first.
Following IG dets enter the map: CinC in Leviathan, & 1st Inf. Btn march down
the road toward the town. Arty moves south of the river. The Warhound & "A"
armor move along the southern edge toward the obj IG3. Recon "B" heads north
of the town.
The basic IG plan was to send the heavy armor along the bottom of the board
after the two IG objectives, send the leg inf into the town and use the recon
and sisters backed by the Reaver to delay the Chaos assault north of the town.
Both flyer dets enter (6 Tbolt and 2 marauder ) declare ground attack
missions.
Chaos dets enter: Chaos Arty (Khorne); Slaneesh Engines, SM Bike/Land
Speeder det, Flesh Hounds, Both SM armor dets, Cultist/Hydra det, supreme
Cdr., both Thousand sons dets, #1 doomwing det.
Doomwings miss all intercepts on Marauders and the IG air kills 7 bikes and
inflicts 2 BM, breaking the det
Both sides get 2 pts for cleanse obj,
VP 91 Chaos 87 IG
3rd turn IG Initiative, Chaos to move first.
Following IG dets enter the map: Reaver titan; Sisters of battle, & Recon
Coy "A" enter on the roda and head north of the town, Super Hvy Tank Coy &
Coy A Mech join with the armour and head for Obj IG3 , Only det off the
board is 2nd inf btn
Chaos dets arrive: Space marines/ Whirlwinds, Chaos Juggernaughts; Demon #2
Lord of Change 5 flamers
Note that the Chaos Titan, 2nd flyer and Contagion's are still off board
while all IG but 1 inf det have arrived.
IG used the "Astropath" card to kill 2 Predators, arty is mostly out of range
as is most everything else. Flyers rearming.
Chaos sides get 2 pts for cleanse obj, IG gets 1
VP 92 Chaos 89 IG
4th turn Chaos Initiative, IG to move first.
IG last det, 2nd inf btn, arrives on road and marches for the town.
Chaos flyer #2 arrives leaving titan and contagions still off board
The air war resumes but is a stalemate with the doomwings driving off the IG
air force
IG grabs rescue obj but is shot off of it, but the four detachments start
shooting the thousand sons north of the river.
Assault: Chaos wins assault phase and launches both demon dets against the
recon det with a 2:1 advantage but John rolls a 6 and it is only a +1 Chaos
victory. The recon det is driven bakc and broken when 4 sentinels cant get
away. Scott moved his few remaining bikes and speeders foward to firefight
the other sentinel detachment - the speeder det. had taken such heavy losses
that the FF failed, which drove back the flamers. Then the Sisters moved in
and flamed the doggies back to the warp. IG used a card to nullfy the demons
save but it was ullified. *Scott's commet: My initial assault was premature.
This seems to be a recurring problem with me... In SM/TL demons could go in
against a superior force and kick butt with no problem; in E40K it's just not
as easy but I never seem to learn this... =(
VP 84 Chaos 89 IG
5th turn - the fit hits the shan... (a great sf story)
The Chaos Warlord and contagions finally make it to the fight.
IG arty kills 4 of the 6 slaneesh engines (-5vp) while the Chaos art decimates
the mech inf (-7 vp) , warhound moves to within 15cm of the take and hold,
and the IG armor (Coy A) kills most of the remaining thousand sons. The 3
shadowswords continue picking off SM armour, breaking one armour det (As an
ork player gotta love this ) The Contagions only got to shoot once, and they
missed every shot. =(
Assault: IG, going first, - the sisters & the remaining sentinal det. shot up
the
flesh hounds before assaulting them and killing just about all of
them (-5vp) The sisters are swarmed by the flamers and bike remnants wiping
them out with 6 BM on them, the Juggers break the second recon det for 4 vp
and run back into cover.
VP 61 Chaos 69 IG
6th turn
One of the Chaos sorcerers uses a fate card to take down the last warhound
shield which is then destroyed by the remaining shooters (-7vp) the Chaos
warlord shoots a vortex missile at the super heavy's getting two under the
template but neither is destroyed* The IG hunkers down on the objectives and
does some serious shooting breaking #2 SM armour (-5), flamers (-4) , the SM
WW det (-6) , and the last of the thousand sons (-5).
Scotts comment: Moving the heavy infantry forward into your massive wall
o'tanks
was a rather foolish of me. If I had held them back with the Lrs and Preds,
they might not have done a whole lot but they wouldn't have cost me the morale
when they broke. You reached the objective 1st; I should have conceeded it
and moved them forward to control
the city. Oh well.
VP 46 Chaos 56 IG
* We used the WD Vortex which is AT vice deth ray shots - very sportsmanlike
of Scott as with a little luck (catastophic kills on both super heavys) would
have made the game really close.
