Colin brings CSM (Alpha Legion)
Lukas brings Tau (Mixed Septs, Sa'cea)
Mission: Scorched Earth
Deployment: Search and Destroy
CSM deploy first, Tau second (unsuccessful seize)
Turn 1:
CSM deploy aggressively, with a large mob of Cultists posed to rush forward.
Tau deploy defensively, staying just out of range of both Decimators.
Sorcerer gets Prescience and Warptime off, onto a Deredeo, to throw it forward without to-hit penalty.
Biker Lord snipes out a Cadre Fireblade, Decimator erases a Fire Warrior squad. Deredeos clear most Sa'cean Shield Drones, and do minor damage to the Riptides.
Nothing in range for charges, turnover to Tau.
Tau movement, Fire Warriors spread out to hold objectives, Broadsides move toward the battlefield's middle.
All 3 riptides nova charge, the Relic-bearing Riptide heals a couple wounds in addition as its suit goes into overdrive.
Kauyon is declared by Coldstar Commander. The killing will begin.
Concentrated fire takes out both Decimators (causing one to explode), a Spawn, and the massed horde of Cultists.
A lone Cultist on one flank steels themselves, making a solitary advance from their fallen squad.
Turn 2:
CSM continue forward, landing on objectives. Sorcerer casts Prescience onto a Deredeo, but fails to get Warptime out.
Deredeos clear out more Shield Drones, and bring a Riptide down to 4 wounds. The Heldrake burns a squad, the Rhino fires its smoke launchers in the middle of Tau lines.
Bike lord assassinates Tau Warlord, and the second-in-command.
Heldrake charges a Fire Warrior squad, 2 survive the assault.
Tau rush forward, scattering for cover. Riptides spread out slightly to keep in range of the remaining Shield Drones, and all Nova Charge.
Massed fire wipes out both Chaos Space Marine squads, a gibbering Chaos Spawn, and yet another Cultist unit. The injured Riptide charges the Rhino, but both whiff on attacks.
Pinpoint shooting from the Deredeos wipe Tau squads off all objectives, and dwindle Shield Drone numbers.
The Biker Lord snipes a chunk out of a Crisis Suit Commander, but the target remains standing.
Chosen focus their fire, shooting twice at the Relic Riptide. The Battlesuit dodges the brunt of the offensive, taking only 4 wounds total.
Tau jump onto objectives, spreading themselves thin across the board.
The Riptides finish off scattered squads, Melta Chosen being brought down with ease. Chaincannon Havocs, camping out on an objective, are wiped out by far-running Coldstar Commander.
The Biker Lord is finally toppled by massed fire from the Broadsides, and a Deredeo loses its last wounds.
Turn 4:
The remaining Deredeo stands its ground as its leaders run for opposite objectives, the Chaos Warlord claiming one, and the Sorcerer contesting another with the Coldstar Commander. Heldrake contests a Riptide's objective.
The Heldrake's Baleflamer roasts a pair of Fire Warriors, and the Deredeo claims the life of the Specialist Riptide, and one of the last shield drones. The World's Luckiest Rhino heals a wound, and unloads its pair of Combi-Bolters into the remaining Shield Drone holding an objective, taking it out and denying a point.
The Tau army's final trio of Shield Drones speed onto a far objective, the Broadsides following quickly behind.
An enormous salvo of Tau weaponry finally tears the Heldrake out of the sky, having reaped its bloody toll already. The World's Luckiest Rhino survives on a single wound.
The Coldstar Commander blasts the Sorcerer to bits.
Turn 5:
The final Cultist squad sneaks forward towards the Coldstar, hiding behind a wall, ready to ambush. The Rhino heals yet again, refusing to die.
The Deredeo continues to stand firm, taking the last wound off of a Riptide and wiping out the final shield drones. The Warlord hides out on a distant objective, trusting his forces.
With unmatched speed and ferocity, the Cultists spring their trap, taking a wound from the Coldstar while losing two of their number in return. A trio remains, preventing the Commander from scoring its objective.
The remaining Tau forces consolidate onto as many objectives as possible. The Coldstar leaps away from the confused Cultists.
The Lucky Rhino finally bids its farewell to the living world, as do the heroic Cultists. The lone Deredeo holds its ground.
Random Game Length Roll:
The die is cast, and shows a 2. The match is over.
Victory points are 8-7, in favour of the Alpha Legion.
However, the Coldstar Commander achieves Linebreaker, bringing the final score to 8 apiece.
