The Covenant of the Omnisiah launched a counteract on hive fleet behemoth, attempting to retake a key bridge on forge world snifllick.
The rules were as follows. The center of the bridge bridge had 40 HP and was my target. the 2 red and blue swirls (kinda pictured not really) in nid deployment zone each had 20. These were my targets. Each objective lost health equal to the amount of health on it at the start of the players turn. He took some enhancements to give one of his main monsters 15 OC. The the game hinged on that creature dying, and me taking the left flank. The fjord in the river cost double movement (for charge too). But maybe I could break through, with Manipuls Hope in a Archeopter, with a Prexti guard in reverse. The battle began....
The Covenant gun lines were in position. And had one goal: clear that thing of the Bridge. They hit it, shot after shot after shot.... But couldn't wound the beast!
At the Fjord, the mother and her brood spewed forth, with the deadly screamer killer quickly ate the brave Suplerhounds, who eventually brought it down at cost of their own lives. The Rangers poured forward, taking cover, and keeping the horde at bay...
Unfortunately, The late deployment of Hope and his ranger guard to the bridge was too little, too late. The beast took and held the bridge, running out the clock with it's massive OC. Hope, with his Single surviving Vanguard, retreat with a small cadre of survivors, back to the Hanger the Houses the Archeopter. Ready to defend against the Tide ...
The next game is me trying to get my bird in the error. Stay tuned.
