The Plan
Siam-Hann Craftworld: The plan for me was to take out the DEATHSTRIKE MISSILE BATTERY&VULTURE SQUADRON and this would have to be done by the VAMPIRE HUNTERS. I knew it would mean running his AA fire, but if those two units were let lose they would really hurt me. Once I had done that, I would look at containing them in their own half of the table…But I see how I go..
Steel Legion: I was hoping to hold the onslaught and protect my assets over all. If by chance I go first turn, then the DEATHSTRIKE MISSILE BATTERY was going to target the Storm Serpent. Then I would follow up by using the VULTURE SQUADRON to take out the SWORDS OF VAUL TROUPE. Then look at it from turn to turn, on want action I would use….
Turn 1
- The dice are rolled for the SR and the Siam Hann go first.They win by a Pip….
- Siam Hann bring the VAMPIRE HUNTER(BM from AA fire) in and target the DEATHSTRIKE MISSILE BATTERY, wiping the formation out(Photo1)…..
- Siam Hann retain the turn and bring the VAMPIRE HUNTER(BM from AA fire) in and target the VULTURE SQUADRON, killing 2 and breaking the formation(Photo1)The broken VULTURE SQUADRON, flees forwards into the ruins(Photo2)…..
- Siam Hann retain the turn and double move HORNETS TROUPE, on left flank, up on to the Hill(Photo1) and shoots REGIMENTAL HQ, in the hopes of killing a few AV’s to slow the movement down, in the end the plan works, killing 3 AV and 4 infantry, so giving the formation 8 BM’s(Yes not the correct number of BM’s shown, more added after shot)
- Steel Legion do sustain fire with ARTILLERY BATTERY(Photo1) and shoot WILD RIDER CLAN WARHOST(MEDIUM)(SC), Killing 5, which breaks the formation and flees into the woods to its right, losing one to DTT(Photo2)

- Steel Legion retain the turn and place the INFANTRY COMPANY on overwatch(Photo1)
- Siam Hann double move SoV up the side of the ruins, so it can’t be shot(Photo1) and shoots the ROUGH RIDER PLATOON, the idea been blow a hole in the scout screen, in the end it manages to kill 2 Rough riders and gives the formation 3 BM’s(Photo2)
- Steel Legion do marshalling action on the REGIMENTAL HQ and so moves and then remove all but 1 BM(The SL player got over zealot here since he remove too many BM’s, but he still has 1 BM left)(Photo1)

- Siam Hann don’t bring on 2 x WILD RIDER CLAN WARHOST(MEDIUM)
