FAVOUR OF THE GODS

Adam: Sometimes the ever elusive card gods will put a real advantage in your hands, and both Jes and I felt their tender mercies as the game progressed. Most obvious was the fact that of the six Secure Objective 1 cards we could draw between us, five came into play – and I was in a position to take advantage of them almost instantly.

Jes experienced luck, in an entirely different way, when in Turn 6 he drew the Recon card – which simply gives you a Victory Point if all of the mysterious objectives have been revealed by the end of your turn. The fact that it came up in Turn 6 made this a foregone conclusion, so Jes happily cashed in his Tactical Objective card and added an extra Victory Point to his total.

Jes: My options were running out at this point, but salvation perhaps lay in the hands of Vorarr the Infernal, who swooped across the table into Adam’s deployment zone to summon a squad of Pink Horrors near Objective 4. (I had drawn the Secure Objective 4 card, but a squad of Guardsmen were camped too near it to let me score.) The Heldrake followed the Daemon Prince and both performed Vector Strikes on the Minotaurs Space Marines they flew over, killing two. The Heldrake and Land Raider also combined their fire to destroy the Devil Dog, the Land Raider also claiming an objective.

Victory Points scored: 2 (Secure Objective 2, Behind Enemy Lines)

Victory Points total: 3

BATTLE-FORGED

Adam: During the course of the game, the great advantage of having a Battle-forged army occurred to me when I realised I could snatch Secure Objective 1 again, right under Jes’s nose. Before this point, Jes’s Bloodletters were contesting the objective, and preventing my Inquisitor and his Chimera from laying claim to it.

Since my force was built from a Combined Arms detachment, it received the Objective Secured special rule, which meant my Troops choices could claim an objective, even if it was contested by a Troops unit from Jes’s Unbound army – for that reason, I sent my unfortunate Space Marine Scouts into the fray, sentencing them to death at the hands of the Bloodletters rather than let Jes claim the Victory Points for Objective 1. It was worth it, as at the end of my turn I grabbed two Victory Points for Objective 1.

Adam: My fourth turn was brief, as I reacted to Jes’s new arrivals. Crucible of Wrath stomped after the Land Raider while everything else on that side of the field opened fire on the Daemon Prince or Pink Horrors. A Combat Squad of Minotaurs charged the Horrors, intending to claim my Assassination Tactical Objective, but the Pink Horror’s champion was too lucky. Meanwhile, Inquisitor Rex and his surviving Acolytes charged the Bloodletters, but after the Daemons’ slaughter only the Inquisitor remained.

Victory Points scored: 0

Victory Points total: 9

Jes: Turn four saw my psychic luck run out, as I failed to summon anything. The Heldrake attempted to
