Our original opponents were a no-show so we were randomly matched up with another opponent, Kax and Derek, which explained why we ended up fighting another Imperium army rather than a Chaos one. They had Imperial Guard and Sisters of Battle, unfortunately I only took the one photo of the game, as we were a little pushed for time. We both had large armies, so deployment took a while. They finished first, so took the first turn. In the end I think we only managed 2 turns in the one and a half hours we had to play.

The mission was Retrieval, with two objectives in our table half, one being the minor objective, one objective in their table half which was the major, and three objectives along the centre line. With a squad of Heavy Bolter sisters supported with a Canoness sat on their objective, we weren’t going anywhere near it.

Instead the fight concentrated around the middle three objectives, with the Immolators charging forwards disgorging Sisters, supported by a Chimera. The Kriesmen on the other hand used orders to march forward into the fray, supported by their own Storm Chimera.

On the far right, one squad of Death Riders tied up a Leman Russ for the duration of the battle. While on the left, the other Riders took out a unit of Imperial Guardsmen before being shot to death by another squad. It was a real firefight between the Krieg and the Sisters, both easily securing one objective each with the other hotly contested.

The Krieg’s thudd guns proved useless on the heavy bolter squad in cover, now with a 2+ save, who used their Acts of Faith ability to shoot twice each turn. Most of their big guns concentrated on the Punisher Tank Commander, though he survived with just 4 wounds left. Meanwhile our Medusa and Avenger Strike Fighter did most of the heavy lifting taking out their transports.

At the start of our last turn we had secured the two objectives in our table half and the righthand middle objective. Through weight of numbers we managed to secure the far left objective. The middle objective had a squad of Rattlings and Sisters on it, but through sheer firepower we managed to remove them from it, winning us the game.
