Scouring, Vanguard Strike.

Heralds got Forewarning and misfortune. One Horrors got the beam.

ROH got the Portal, the Book and Forewarning. Loch had 2 guns with S8 and FNP (4+). 10-men pack got the beam.

I got the first turn and deployed the Death Star and 3 Venoms again + Plaguebearers in the ruin near the 3-point marker. ROH deployed LR, the MiniDeathStar and LoCh behind the large LoS-blocker.


My first turn was a simple re-location - Venoms moved to few LoS-Blocking buildings in the oppose corner, Wyches' ones were in 20" of the LR. The Death Star was nearly in 24" from LR. Oh, and Grimoire-roll was failed...


ROH's daemons re-located his units behind the same buildings, Venoms did. 2 Venoms were annihilated. First Blood again ;)

That was only Sathonyx, who did come from reserve... Death Star still had no targets, because oppose daemons re-hid behind the other LoS-blocker. The last Venom disembarked Wyches and faced LoCh as Trueborn did.

I got the Warp Ebb on the Storm... But LoCh saved everything from the splinter shooting. With 6++. He even didn't need his FNP. Wyches didn't roll 7 to charge LR. Arr! But, he lost one HP from the thrown HWG, even shaking it!

ROH's turn and 2 packs of Horrors did arrive (10 and 11). Both misshaped, 11 - misplaced and 10 - delayed. 11 gone to the corner near the Death Star.

His Mini-Star created the Portal in the LoS-blocking buildings corner (that created 5 Horrors) and rushed to the 5-Wyches squad from the last venom. Venom got Misfortune. LoCh decided to fly to my deployment zone, keeping 18 to Venom.

But... Venom saved everything!!!

So, the Mini-Star charged - the Venom, and 2 packs of Wyches. 1 Wych from 5-women squad survived and fell back. And Venom. It was still alive!


My 3rd turn and Bomber did arrive. Another one short and boring turn xD

Venom and Death Star both shooting to the Screamers, killing nearly 3 or 4 of them. Bomber destroyed the LR with his Lances. That's all)

ROH's 3rd turn - all the reserves arrived. The Drake and the beam pack were placed near my Plaguebearers to support LoCh. Mini-Star got there too. The Vector strike just destroyed one HP from the Bomber.

The CSM from the destroyed LR cooperated with 2 packs of Horrors - from DS and from Portal finally destroyed the poor Venom. Slashing attacks, Baleflamer, the beam, both LoCh shooting attacks - wasn't enough to kill the Plaguebearers, so LoCh charged them and he succeed, he saved 3 or 4 wounds from them, how sad)))

My 4th turn was a fail. Horrors scattered far away from 3-point marker in ROH's deploy for 12"! The other ones arrived to the fighting around my 3-point marker... And the Grimoire-roll.  Also, the Portalglyph was placed near my 3-point marker. I failed it. Bomber went to the ongoing reserve, placing a Void Mine to the CSM, that got Misfortune, making a wound to the Warmaster and killing 2 of the boyz.

Shooting from the Death Star, Kairos and Horror pack killed the squad completely.

Sathonyx charged the Beam-Horrors, killing 8 of them with an Instability!

ROH's 4th turn - my Death Star got another penalty from Grimoire.

So, Heldrake and LoCh opened fire and killed Grimoire died and half of the Screamers... Ouch! Also, my Horrors were charged by another ones and destroyed. And mini-Star charged Misfortuned Sathonyx, killing him. That bastard didn't kill the last Horror.


Turn 5. The Death Star divided - Screamers gone to take an objective behind the LoS-blocker... But my bad - it was only 1-point cost T_T Kairos denied the 2-point marker and Portal didn't bring a troop to me, even with a re-roll.

Bomber and Heralds tried to kill Heldrake, but he just lost his flamer and 2 HP...

On his 5th turn, ROH just killed the Heralds.

And that was the end. Difference was 6 for ROH, he got both 3-point markers. The VP difference was less then 500, minimum. And that was 6-14.

Maybe I should be more aggressive in that game and try to lock his screamers by mine. ROH is a great opponent and thet was third great game on the tournament, I'm glad.
