Battle report w/ a few pics to follow.

The Table was pretty much the same on both sides with a large ruin in the right corner, woods and/or hills in the left, small building or ruins in the center of our deployment and a large LOS blocking building in the center. There was 3 objectives. Mack place his at the top of the large ruins and on the hill in front of it. I placed mine behind a small semi-circular ruins towards my center.
I won the roll and had Mack go deploy first. He placed his ADL spanning the large ruins on his right and a small building in the center along with his quad gun (forgot this in his list in the previous post). I did not seize.

Mack placed the Plague Marines to man the quad gun and the large zombie unit next to them on the right. a smaller zombie squad to the left of the PM's. The Havocs were on the top of the ruins along with the other zombie squad holding the objective. Typhus, Oblits and heldrakes in reserve.

I set up in my right flank putting the LOS building in between us. My large warrior unit w/ my Overlord and despair Cryptek w/ veil was spread out behind the small ruins, the Immortals w/ Lord in front of them  blocked by the center building from Macks Havocs and quad gun. The A-barges behind the large ruins to sweep his left flank.

1st turn
HoD's forst turn he moves out the left flank zombie unit towards the center getting cover from the LOS blocking building. There was little shooting but his havocs did unload on the large warrior unit hitting 4 times resulting in 2 kills.
My first turn the Immortals moved forward up the center. The A-barges skim over the large ruins and kill 2 zombies from Macks left unit and take a hull point on the quad gun.

2nd turn
Mack gets 1 Heldrake from reserves, Nemesor activates phased reinforcements and brings in the flayed ones by Macks large ruins w/ his objective scattering some. The Heldrake comes on and fries 7 Immortals but 2 stand back up. The left zombie squad continues toward the center moving right some towards the obj. on the hill. The havocs kill a couple more warriors, the quad gun shot at an a-barge but did no damage. Macks large zombie squad moved over to engage the flayed ones and assaulted. The FO's went first striking down 10 zombies losing 2 in return.
For reserves i get the deathmarks in NS, they had marked the PM's and so went right for them unloading beside them.  The Immortals continued forward. Nemesor used tank hunters on 1 barge and it shot down the Heldrake. The deathmarks killed 5 of the PM's. The large warrior squad held it's ground. The combat continued with the zombies.


turn 3


HoD's forces top of turn 3..."Holding the Line"



Warmongers forces top of turn 3..."Moving Out"


Mack gets the rest of his reserves. the zombies on the left continue their march towards the objective on the hill. The Heldrake and Havocs finish off the Immortals. Typhus and the Oblits blow up an A-barge. The PM's assault the deathmarks but die to overwatch. The zombies and FO's continue the combat leaving one zombie standing with no loss to the FO's.
I get the rest of my reserves. the small warrior squad moving up to my objective. The large warrior squad teleported on the hill controlling that objective and shooting down the small advancing zombie squad. The warriors NS and the A-barge shoot down the Heldrake. The FO's finish off the large zombie unit.

turn 4
Typhus and the oblits move toward my obj. and destroy my last barge. The havocs shoot at the deathmarks killing one. The last zombie squad holds his objective.
Flayed Ones move under the last zombie squad preparing for an assault. Warriors disembark from their NS in my large ruins to support my warriors holding my obj.. Pot shots from NS do nothing. Large warrior squad spreads out shoots at Havocs but do no damage. The FO's assault the Zombies but could only get 2 into combat losing one but killing 2 zombies..combat locked!


turn 5

top of turn 5...final turn

Typhus and the Oblits advance shooting at the warrior squad on the objective killing three. The Havocs join the assault with the zombies driving off the FO's. The 5 man warrior squad moves over to my objective putting 2 squads on it. The FO's rally but are to far to contest Mack's objective. Deathmarks shoot at something do nothing. Large warrior squad shoots at zombies kills one. End Game.

I ended up with primary holding 2 objectives, Mack controlled 1. I also got first blood and linebreaker. Typhus was just outside my deployment. Good game all around.
