Battlefield with deployed forces. Matthias was the first player, thus deploying first and getting the first turn.

Protectorate deployment.

Circle deployment.

[Protectorate Turn 1]

Kreoss gives one Focus to each Jack. The choir in the backfield casts Shielding on the Repenter and Vanquisher. Kreoss casts Lamentation. Everything else runs.

[Circle Turn 1]

Everything runs. The Feral warps Protective Plates, the Pureblood Spellward and the Stalker Strength. Kaya casts Shadowpack and Forced Evolution.

[End of Turn 1]

Overview.

[Protectorate Turn 2]The Vanquisher gets 2 Focus, the Repenter 1. Kreoss upkeeps Lamentation and casts Defenders Ward on the Revenger. The Repenter runs. The choir in the backfield casts Battle on the Vanquisher. Juviah uses Menoth's sight on the Vanquisher. Then, the Vanquisher advances. Being able to ignore Stealth, he shoots at the Stalker, dealing 10 damage to his mind.

[Protectorate Turn 2]

With the help of his Vasalls, the Vanquisher is allowed a second shot which deviates. This time he hits the Wilder for 4 points and Laris for 3. The second Vasall made him move back again (we did a mistake here)..

[End of Menoth Turn 2]

Overview. Lots of burnin Circle models in the background (upright orange markers).

[Cirlce Turn 2]

The flames on the burning models extinguish.

Kaya upkeeps her spells. The wilder lets the Stalker use his animus for free. Then the Stalker tramples through the Choir and attacks some Knights Exemplar, killing 1 of the Choir and three Knights Exemplar.

At the end of his activation, he uses his Animus to move backwards.

[Circle Turn 2]

On the other Flank, the Warbeasts advance. The Pureblood shoots at a choir member, a Knight Examplar and a Vasall, but only manages to kill the choir boy.

[Circle Turn 2]

The Stonekeeper shoots at the Choir and kills one of them.

[Circle Turn 2]

Overview..

[Protectorate Turn 1]

Now its time for the Protectorate to strike back. The Vanquisher gets 2 Focus, the Revenger 3. Kreoss upkeeps Lamentation and Defenders Ward. He moves forward and pops his Feat. All Cirlce models are knocked down.

The Repenter moves up and shoots at the Stalker, the Argus and the Stonekeeper, doing some minor damage.

[Protectorate Turn 3]

This time, the Vanquisher shoots twice at the Feral Warpwolf, hitting once for a couple of damage points.

[Protectorate Turn 3]

Afterwards, the Revenger charges the Feral and finishes him quite easily.

The two remaining Knights Exemplar charge the Warpwolf Stalker and kill him as well.

[Circle Turn 3]

Things look grim for the Circle, as two out of three heavy beasts are down. With a last desparate attempt, Kaya tries to go for an assassination attempt.

The Pureblood shoots at Kreoss and two choir members in order to do some damage to him and to clear the way for Laris. Both choir members go down, but a boosted attack against Kreoss misses! That was a bad start.

[Circle Turn 3]

Then, the Stone Keeper takes a shot at Kreoss as well, but he wasn't able to inflict damage either.

[Circle Turn 3]

At least Laris managed to run from his position into melee range with Kreoss, thus enabling Kaya to use his animus in order to teleport in the back of Kreoss and gaining boni to her attacks due to the Flank rule of Laris.

But because Kaya was within 14" of Kreoss and he upkept Lamentation, she had to spend 4 points of fury to cast the animus. She managed to do quite a bit of damage to Kreoss, but in the end he stood firm!

[Circle Turn 3]

Overview.

As Kaya was surrounded by enemies, the game was over at this time. Win for the Protectorate!

[Protectorate Turn 4]

Just for the fun of it we look who would kill Kaya. The Vanquisher knocks her down, added by Battle from the choir. The Visgoth and his Bodyguards finally are given a chance to contribute with their weapons as well and kill Kaya. Kreoss still has a lot of focus left.
