THEME: Shadows of the Retribution

Ret wins the roll and goes first.

Once again, everything runs.
I am not used to not bringing immunity to blast and bunch my Strike Force up a bit too much considering all the bloat thralls he has.

And so the bloat thralls take a significant chunk out of the unit.
Mech thralls charge the remaining Strike Force but all fail to hit the nimble elves.

The Daemons advance up on either side of the house and between them vaccuum up about 11 models including a War Witch and the Skarlock.
Hemera with Admonition upkept for free runs up. Issyria thanks to Hemera arcs 3 blinding lights into his 3 Bloat thralls.

The ambush comes on the right and kills off almost all of the rest of the MHSF. His jacks come in but fail to kill both of mine, however leaves them engaged. The carrion thralls run in to engage my Infiltrators.

I didnt particularly want to go for an assassination as I wanted to see how well my Daemon and the Spears of Scyrah could hold the flank. However I kind of needed to go gome early so I gave it a try.

  • The Daemons get 2 focus each.
  • Issyria feats and casts crusaders call.
  • The one on the left advances right and shoots a Thrall on the hill. This pulls the jack out of melee with the other Daemon.
  • One mage hunter assassin kills the Carrion Thrall which is engaging Eyriss3. 3yriss advances and shoots Agathia, hitting and causing Arcane Hemmorage. Upkeeps and focus drops and with 4d6 dropping the lowest does 10 damage. 
  • The Daemon which was unengaged by the others helmouth shoots a Bloat thrall pulling in Agathia and killing her with its pow 12 blast, even before the MHA can charge her.

  1. Not sure I see this correctly in your pics, but spears do not have advanced deployment without Eyriss3 ;-)

    Nice battle reports !

    1. You are correct.
      The legends of Hallack are a proxy for the Spears of Scyrah.
      I my deployment picture you can see one on the far left of my normal deployment, one center and behind and one to the far right.

      Thanks heaps for your kind words and thanks for leaving a comment.

    2. Edit*
      I totally should have mentioned what my proxies were.
