Turn One
Chaos
I had first turn and spread my forces so that I would have threats available from multiple sources. My NDP and LOC were positioned out of line of sight of most my opponents guns. Adjacent to them were my oblits and TDP on the left. Manning the comms relay my plague bearers huddled down behind the aegis looking disgustingly beautiful. In reserves are the two Heldrakes and two cultist squads.
My opponent set his three rhinos centrally with the Chapter Master leading the convoy. The three centurions setup a defensive position in the ruined building forcing their will on mid board while holding an objective.
My opponent failed to seize so I went straight into the heart of battle with my LOC and TDP. I flew forward with both units and held back my NDP as a counter assault threat. I wasn't worried about my LOC because of the powers he manifested so he was literally in front of all the iron hands. Precognition is an amazing power on a LOC, it transforms him into a killing machine. Combine that with forewarning and prescience he had the ability to support others and make himself that much more durable. I aimed to get an easy first blood with prescienced oblits using lascannons on a rhino but only stripped two hull points.
Imperial
Screaming down from the atmosphere came an Iron clad which proceeded to flame and kill three plague bearers. Next my opponent set the skies ablaze with fire trying to kill my LOC however blessed be Chaos he was not wounded however grounded. The Chapter master ran in to smash my LOC but in the end one wound was inflicted and I passed my leadership test.
Turn Two
Chaos
Turn two I use my comms relay to force my drakes on and keep the cultist out. My originally plan was to get into combat with the centurions but I should have known that wouldn't happen with the Chapter Master so close to them. That left my NDP without the ability to effect the battle much because if I went forward he would be destroyed by the grav cannons. This is something I have been trying to accept, the fact that sometimes running forward trying to smash everything isn't always the best course of action. But I guess my NDP was bored so he inflicted a wound on himself while casting Iron arm. I push the drakes forward and flame all three rhinos. Once the flames die down I take off a few hull points but thanks to the Iron Hands traits the lead rhino survives with one left. I end up stealing l first blood with my oblits firing three twin linked melta guns at the dread's back and side. My TDP swings from the left side getting into potion to attack the troops from the rear. The combat of titans continues to be a slap fight with me doing only one wound to the Chapter Master.
Imperial
The twos storm talons and the storm raven comes in and unloads on my drakes tearing off two hull points locking velocity on one and doing one hull point on the other. The centurions only inflict one wound on my oblits. All of the troop gunfire put a wound on my TDP. Lastly the turn ends with me putting two wounds on the chapter master and him putting one of my LOC. Thanks to the chapter trait the master gets back one wound.
Turn Three
Chaos
The top of three my Drakes fly off the board and destroy one of the rhinos. The cultist scramble on the board and head for objectives. The TDP starts to slaughter marines in the back.
Imperial
The sky force lay into my oblits killing all of them but one. In combat I finish off one of the marine squads with my TDP and the battle between the LOC and Chapter master goes no where.
Turn Four
Chaos
At the top of four both drakes vector strike on the board and take down both talons. I push forward with my NDP and setup to blast the centurions with my Nurgle witch fire. At this put my opponent and I realize that the game is probably already over so we decided to see how the combat would play out with the LOC to see if we should continue. I ended up doing three wounds in which the master fails all three invuls and all three feel no pains giving me slay the warlord. Victory to the forces of Chaos!
