Dusjo-Katon vs. Mech IG

The first game of the tournament went very well. As I stated earlier, it was a RoE game. My objectives were to hold my two while his were to kill my Farseer and have one of mine.

He got first turn and deployed most of his tanks (2 lemans, 3 chimeras) in the upper left to set up a fire base that I would have to come to. His Hellhound and Basilisk were on the right (my left and right) to prevent me from flanking him. Keep in mind, he's been looking at my Blog and kinda knew what he was up against. I split my force to have my Falcon, one squad of wraithguard, a wraithlord, Fire Prism and the second wraithlord to support them. Farseer would be following my Prism for every single game so she could guide it. Reapers and scorpions with the other squad of wraithguard would be on the right, going for the other objective and taking out any tanks that got too close (and that basilisk).

Turn 1: Jason
Not much happened here. Besides the fact that my Falcon died turn 1. (It would proceed to get destroyed turn 1 on every single game we played...) His bassie missed hitting my prism and scattering onto my farseer. One leman shot at my Dark Reapers in cover. Nothing happened.

Me
Guiding the Prism, I got a lucky shot on that damn Leman and blew it up. Wraithlords advanced, glanced a chimera and shook it. Scorpions advanced and my Wraithguard went to kill the bassie.

Turn 2: Jason
None of his deepstrikers arrived. He disembarked some troops so they wouldn't be killed and poped smoke on the same Chimera. The Hellhound drove out to take care of the Wave Serpent. Got a glance and I couldn't shoot. Scorpions were almost roasted, but he decided to go after the serpent due to the fact the scorpions would still get an armour save. : D Bassie inflicted a wound on my brightlance wraithlord.

Me
Wraithlords advanced. Serpent jumped over terrain and hid from that damn Hellhound. Hawks flew in, dropped a grenade on the disembarked troops and landed nearby. scorpions advanced but then chilled around for a bit. Wraithlords were facing two chimeras that were probably going to advance soon. They shot and didn't do anything. Fire Prism missed both its' shots with a 2 and a 2 to hit. Hawks killed more IG kasrkin.

Turn 3: Jason
Deepstrike. Command squads: 1 & 1. Sentinals: 2 & 2. Not kidding. With my hawks behind his mobile line of fire, he deployed another squad and was ready to light them up. Hellhound moved to try and get the serpent. Two chimeras, both empty, moved up to take out the wraithlords. They caused a wound. The Hellhound's napalm of it didn't glance me this time. : D. However, the combined fire power of 2 Kasrkin squads and a chimera killed my squad of 8 hawks. Revenge is bittersweet.

Me
But I find I take it to my liking. Revenge that is. My Serpent, no longer shaken, moved to the back armour of the Hellhound. The other serpent flew forward and was near the remaining leman. Prism was guided and looking at 2 chimeras. Wraithlords were pissed as well. As the prism blew up a chimera, the other was almost boxed in. Serpent unloaded its' W.guard and destroyed the Hellhound. Wraithguard did jack squat to the damn Bassie. But the others shook a Leman and would have immobilized it, but his extra armour prevented that.

Turn 4: Jason
Command squad and its' helper demolition squad dropped next to my farseer. Sentinal did too. The chimeras moved to take out the serpent by the leman. Boxed in chimera failed difficult terrain roll, but had an upgrade to that allowed to re-roll the failed roll. Damn. It moved up still.
The chimeras took out the wave serpent and bassie killed my wraithguard. Everyone of them. His command squad shot up my farseer and did one wound. Two left...until his tank killing squad threw a demolition pack onto her...S8, with her T of 4...Instant kill. Objectives: Him 1: me 0. so far...

Me
Reapers just got a lot of new targets. So did my wraithlords. Wave serpent moved to the side armour of the damn Bassie. Prism wasn't guided now and missed....Wraithlord flamed the demopack squad as the reapers tore open the tin-can (sentinal). Wraithguard shot the leman again and did nothing...but the wave serpent destroyed the damn basilisk that was causing psychological terror. Scorpions moved back to take their objective.


The rest of the game consisted of small fire fights until the end of turn 6, where he had all of his infantry around my other objective. I had my wraithlord flame and kill everything within 3" of it as the prism sat on the objective. Scorpions held theirs and the reapers killed another sentinal that had landed.

Objectives: Me 2: Jason 1
I won.
