We rolled the Scourging for Mission and the Angled Deployment.

I won roll and let him deploy first.

He put his 2 Landraiders right in center as close to line as he could using a big building to give them cover. He infiltrated the Vindicare into the same building. He kept Strike squad in reserve to deep strike and forgot about his scouts.

I deployed Broadsides in a ruin back in the corner of my deployment zone with the Commander and his squad behind the same ruin. Hammerhead was set all the way back in deepest part of my corner. 1 Firewarrior squad was deployed along center of my deployment edge in between 2 objectives to try and take whichever ended up being worth more. Kroot I infiltrated behind a building back in corner of his deployment zone behind a building to run for objective in back corner of his zone. Had one firewarrior squad in reserve


First turn he ran both Landraiders up and took some shots at Broadsides and killed both drones. Vindicare failed to wound.

My first turn Deep struck Bloodthirster and Deamon Prince over by his Landraiders where he would need a 10 on charge roll to reach me. both scattered but away from him so worked out ok for me.  Jumped commanders squad out and put one wound on vindicare. Broadsides took one hull point off Lysanders Landraider. Commander unit jumped back behind building.

Turn 2 He immobilised Lysanders Landraider on a hill. Draigos Landraider ran up another 12 in. His strike squad deep struck right in front of my Broadsides. He shot everything at the broadsides and managed to only kill one.

Bloodletters came on but other firewarrior squad did not. Bloodletters mishap and end up back in reserve. Bloodthirster Vector Strikes over the wounded and immobile Landraider. I got the maximum 4 hits and proceeded to roll 3 6s to glance it to death. It was already immobile so was not as big as could have been but was still made guys have to get out. After he got Lysander and squad out I flew Deamon Prince up near them. I moved Firewarriors and Commanders unit in position to shoot Strike Squad. Deamon prince managed to managed to put one wound on Lysander with Breath of Chaos and Bolt of Tzeentch. Broadsides took a Hull point and Stunned Draigos Landraider. Shot everything else at Strike squad and reduced it to one Psycannon guy. Kroot were slowly sneaking toward objective in his sode which was only worth 1 VP.

Turn 3 He passes Fortitiude on Landraider. He moves it up 6 in and deploys Draigo and Paladins out. Lysander and his squad move forward. He ran Lysanders unit. He then shot Paladins and Last Psycannon from Strikes at Firewarriors. He killed 9 leaving 3 who passed their LD test. Landraider and Vindicare picked of another Broadside.

Bloodletters deep strike right in front of Paladins to be a speed bump. Other Firewarrior squad walks on near Lysanders squad to shoot them. Bloodthirster and Deamon Prince also jump near Lysander. Commander unit also moves to shoot Lysander. When smoke Cleared all that was left was Lysander with 2 wounds left.

Turn 4 He tankshocks Bloodletters who just move out of way. Draigo and Paladins stay still and shoot at Commanders unit killing both gun drones. Vindicare shoots Bloodthirster he hits but fails to wound. I feiled grounded test and crashed to the ground right next to Lysander. He charges me with Lysander. I do 3 wounds and he fails 2 saves and Lysander dies. We call the game at this point as he realisticlly has no chance to win the mission.

Dice were really lucky for me and really bad for him so was not a great test of my list but I did like the way it seemed to play.
