War of the Roses 16th/17th May
#7
Cheers Chris! Smile

Game1: Necrons:
Decurion Detachment:
Reclamation Legion: 5 Immortals in Nightscythe, 10 Warriors in Ark, 10 Warriors in Ark, 3 Tomb Blades with Particle Beamers, Shield Veins and Nebuloscope, 5 Lychguard in Nightscythe, Overlord Voidreaper, Phaseshifter, Gauntlet of Fire.
Command: Crytek with Solar Staff, Zahndrekh, Orikan, Obryon
Auxiliary: 6 Deathmarks and 5 Deathmarks

Deployment:
I won the roll to go first so set up fairly aggressive, putting most things on the deployment zone line with D-Cannons central with Wraithknights, Serpents and Mantleseer flanking. Opponent deployed Tomb Blades with attached Orikan, Obryon, Overlord and Cryptek, and both Ghostarks with Warriors. Zahndrekh went in the Lychguard, Immortals in reserve as are the Deathmarks.

Turn1
Opponent seized... so moved up and put a HP on the Serpent on the left flank with mantlefarseer also taking a wound... totally forgot ignore cover and was super careless!!

I moved about a bit, moving both Wraithknights forward, tried to shriek the Tomb Blades, but missed, the Farseer then turbo boosted off, Wraithknights killed Ark and the other was reduced to 2 HPs thanks to Serpent Shield fire.

Turn2
All but Immortals come in, Lychguard Scythe moves on 36" Lychguard jump out, Deathmarks get aggressive and land 5/6" away from a Wraithknight and don't scatter... characters leave Tomb Blades and deep strike within 2" of Zahndrek so don't scatter and join the squad. These pop the solar pulse, then run to spread out. Deathmarks put 5 wounds on a Wraithknight.

My turn and the Crimson Hunter arrives from reserve and shoots down a Nightscythe, a Tomb Blade survives 3 D-Cannon blasts and a Serpents shooting... The Wraithknights charge the Deathmarks, killing 1 unit outright (ran them down) the other stays locked. Serpents finish off the other Ghostark, mantle farseer moves off for a maelstrom of getting into enemy deployment zone.

Turn3
Lychguard deathstar gets to within 5 and 6" of the Wraithknights ready to charge, the Warriors at the back of the table move up ready to charge the Mantlefarseer, Nightscythe comes on and tries to shoot down the Crimson Hunter but fires through the Wraithknight to give me a 5+ cover (he said it was on purpose??) it does no damage... randomly my opponent then shoots the Solar staff at the unengaged Wraithknight and kills it, meaning he cannot charge the other. Remaining Wraithknight finishes off the Deathmarks. Warriors charge the Farseer who survives with one wound and hit and runs out of combat.

My turn the Wraithknights bounds over cover and readies to charge some Warriors. Serpents begin to move up and start to pick off chunks of units, killing the last tomb blade. Crimson Hunter moves and gets the position to shoot the Nightscythe and does, immobilising it and making it hit the deck!!! Wraithknight charges the Warriors and fails to hit anything haha. Oh and D-Cannons kill off a Lychguard and put a couple of wounds on characters.

Turn4
Lychguard deathstar moves up and fails another charge.. this time 9" to the D-Cannons. Immortals walk on and put another wound on the Farseer. Wraithknight kills a couple of Warriors, they hold.

Wave Serpents start to position for a turn5 jump on objectives. Shoots is ineffective take a hand full of wounds off the deathstar characters in the end all are reduced to 1 wound..

Turn5
Lychguard deathstar moves to charge the D-Cannons, fail a 3" charge with a double1..

My turn and move and turbo to capture every objective (Lychguard and contesting one with the D-Cannons.. thats how close they are lol). Wraithknight fails to hit again and remains locked with the Warriors.

And the game ends to a roll of 2!

I win 27-7 on VPs which is exactly 20-0!

I made a few little mistakes but nothing much, but I feel so rusty at this stage and my opponent was super sharp.. I need to practice more haha. Game2 to follow
