DEATH FROM THE SKIES

The arrival of Dan’s Thunderhawk Gunship, Lion’s Fury, sparked an impromptu round of laughter as we realised the base he’d made for it was too big to fit among the claustrophobic city streets. In the picture to the right, it’s actually perched on a Skyshield Landing pad.

The shooting phase was no laughing matter for Damien, though, when the Thunderhawk’s laser blaster ripped a massive chunk out of the Reaver’s carapace. Its glory was short-lived, however, and it was set upon by a fleet of Vendettas aimed, dart-championship-style, at it by Damien. Unable to shake its more nimble attackers, Lion’s Fury roared past Danol’s Retribution, aimed its laser blaster at the exposed rear armour of the Iron Saint and blew it to smithereens with an impressive coup de grace. Lion’s Fury was lascannoned out of the sky the following turn.

Though our Tactical Objectives included a couple of easy wins and the ludicrously unachievable Secure Objective 3, which sat between the Titan’s legs (it’s marked by the dice in the picture below), Dan and I agreed that killing the Reaver would be much more fun. Dropping from the sky, my Battlesuits commenced their deployment. Normally my units arrive with uncanny accuracy, but this battle saw my scatter dice behave entirely out of character. Fortunately, my Battlesuit Commander and his bodyguard arrived next to Danol’s Retribution and set about melting it with their fusion blasters. Or would have, had I remembered its many void shields. The arrival of the Thunderhawk, Lion’s Fury, saw the balance redressed, while the Tau and Dark Angels punished the Space Wolves with long-range firepower. Kudos goes to the Knights of House Taranis, who walked through an unholy amount of fire as they crossed the city. It’s epic scenes like this that create the greatest anecdotes. Tommie will dine out on this one for months to come.
