Execution

[Deployment]

The grey template on the right is a wood.

[Cygnar Turn 1]

The Nyss moved forward to hide in the wood. Rhupert piped ‹ Heroic Call › for the Gun Mages. The Stormwall ran forward. Haley advanced and cast ‹ Temporal Barrier › .

mediaobject

[Protectorate of Menoth Turn 1]

Each 'jack received 1 Focus.

The Reckoner advanced and shot at the Gun Mages with a boosted to hit roll, which missed. The Vassal moved up to the Reckoner and allowed him an ‹ Ancillary Attack › - which missed as well.

The Choristers sang the Hymn of ‹ Passage › to protect all Menite 'jacks.

The Revenger ran forward, to get into a position where Kreoss was able to arc node ‹ Cleansing Fire › on the Gun Mages. Three were hit and killed, but one was saved by his Tough roll granted by ‹ Heroic Call › ; still he was Knocked down and burning.

All other models ran forward.

[Cygnar Turn 2]

The fire continous effect on the Gun Mage expired. Haley allocated three Focus to the Stormwall.

The Nyss Hunters CRAed the Bastions for 9 points of damage, which were brotherly distributed.

The Gun Mages moved behind the cover and then used their ‹ Thunderbolt › ammunition on the Choir, killing one. Carvallo ran into cover with them as well.

His Mercenary colleague Gorman moved towards the center.

The Stormwall advanced towards Kreoss. He placed a Lightning Pod and used to attack the Revenger (0 dam) and one Chorister (dead). With his Chainguns he cleared away more of the singers ( 1 attack, miss | 2 attacks, to kills). With his Big Guns, he then targeted Kreoss. With a boosted to hit roll he caused 11 points of damage; the second gun also hit with a boosted to hit roll and killed Kreoss ( double 6 damage roll).

Debriefing

  • Dirk (Cygnar)

  • Matthias (Protectorate of Menoth)

    This was my first game against a colossol - and I massively underestimated the amount of damage it alone can dish out which cost me my Warcaster... Next game will be different...
