The Mission had been
maelstorm of War: Cloak and Shadows
Orks got first turn but i mange to steal the ini.









1st round:
For the first turn idecided to keep as much distance between me and this big mob of orcish walkers. Only Thallax Cohort Red, the Krios battle tank and the Knight moved a bit forward and opened fire. In each killa kan mob one kan lost a hull point. The Hellex Plasma Mortar of the Thanatar destroyed the killa kan in the mob to the left.

The dickey orkish walkers staggered forward. The Battlewagon moved around the ruin. Together with the Morkanaut he opened up fire at Cohort Red. One died and another one was wounded.


2nd round
Cohort Red took aim at the battlewagon and caused the lose of one hull point. The Krios fired at the killa kan mob that already lost a kan and also caused a hull point lose.

The Orks got reinforcements in form of a Dakka-Jet. The driver of the battlewagon tried to move through a crate but immobilized his vehicle. The combined fire of the Jet and the battlewagon killed another Thallaxi of Cohort Red. The Big Mek and his Meganob bodyguard left the tank and stormed into both Thallax cohorts. They killed two of Cohort Black and one of Cohort Red. Cohort Black activated their security protocolls and draw back from the fight. Cohort Red kept the orks busy.



3rd round:
Cause it became clear that Cohort Red could only become second best against the Big Mek and his bodyguard, Thagmata Mourndark changed their attack pattern. Gawain and his Knight decided to face the remaining eight ork walkers alone. He fired at the Morkanaut and caused a glanzing hit. After that he stormed into the intact killa kan mob and destroyed all three.
Arch Magos Mourndark left his position to face the Big Mek. The Big Mek killed the rest of Cohort Red.

The two mobs Flash Gitz left the Gorkanaut and the Morkanaut and opened fire at the Archmagos with no effect. Both mighty walkers prepared together with the deff dread to face the Knight. Godslayer made his name honor by killing the Morkanaut with his reaper chainsword. In return the Gorkanaut ripped the knight apart. The titanic explosion destroyed the Deff Dread, robbed the Gorkanaut three of his hull points, ripped one of the two remaining Killa Kans apart and killed eight of the Flash Gitz.
The Big Mek hurled a challange toward Archmagos Mourndark. Disgusted by the parody of his own rang by the filthy alien, he faced the xeno and killed him. Both bodyguards killed two of their opponents. The death of the Big Mek caused the meganobs to flee.






4th round:
The Krios Battle Tank fired at the remaining Flash Gitz and killed one. The other decided that it would be wiser to flee. Thallax Cohort Black killed one of the Meganobs. The Thanatar moved through the ruin. He unleashed his Hellex Plasma Mortar and the Mauler Bolter Cannon at the meganobs and killed them all.

The Gorkanaut and the last Killa Kan moved into close combat with the Krios battle tank and destroyed the vehicle.






5th round:
Archmagos Mourndark leveled his inferno pistol and opened fire at the Killa Kan and blow it up. Cohort Black fired at the Gorkanaut and destroyed him. At that point my opponent surrendered.


For the second time i'm surprised how hard the Thallaxii are. But 'till the show down of my Knight with all the walkers, i was not very optimistic to have a real chance. So many walker and other elite units had been a big deal. It was an exciting and a close match. The Secutors worked very well. They did what was expected of them, to kill the hardest enemy unit.

The admech seems like some tough nuts to crack.

they are basically like tyranids. kill the guy who has the leash on his units and watch them fall apart. that dude is most of the time pretty tough to crack though. concentrated fire helps.

That´s only partly true. With this list it doesn´t matter if you kill the Arch Magos. The Thanatar got a Paragon of Metal.
If i run my Castellax you would be right. But with T6 W4 and 2+/3++ he´s very hard to kill.
