Turn 1

A 1 is rolled for firestorm plus 2 for objectives, first two firestorms scatter and missus, second hits the hurricane ironclad, does nothing to the ironclad and destroys two pieces of defence line. Reserves are rolled, 1 daemon prince, 2 chaos terminator units, 1 vindicator, 1 csm unit and both chaos dreadnoughts come onto the board. The daemon prince and one chaos terminator unit are lost into the warp and destroyed, all others come in ok.

The chaos terminators land behind the defence line behind the area which the venerable and the dreadnought are holding, the chaos terminators charge the dreadnought, one chaos terminator is battered by the ddcw though the dreadnought is ripped to pieces loosing the ddcw, assault cannon and was immobilised. The chaos marines fire meltaguns at the hurricane ironclad but do no damage. The vindicator rolls on, fires at the chaplain and terminators, it lands on target and kills 2 terminators after invulnerable saves. Both chaos dreadnoughts roll to charge the closest unit, this is the combat squad of the lightning claw sgt. In combat 3 marines are killed and the l.c sgt and plasma gun marine fall back 7" towards the other ironclad.

The fists fire quad cannons, hurricane ironclad, both power fist combat squads and venerable dreadnought as the chaos marines leaving three standing. The other ironclad mooches round from it position in the central fortification towards one of the chaos dreadnoughts but fails to do any damage with its meltagun.

The captain and assault marines charge the chaos terminators in combat with the dreadnought, after armour saves the chaos terminators are still standing. Now down to s6 the dreadnought does nothing against the chaos terminators and is soon wrecked by the two chain fists this time around, the chaos terminators consolidate towards the right bastion. The chaplain and remaining terminators roll a double 1 for difficult terrain and can't assault the vindicator. The ironclad rolls 3 for highest for difficult terrain test and cannot assault the chaos dreadnought.

Turn 2

The second vindicator rolls on along with the remaining daemon prince, which doesn't deep strike after what happened to the other one! Another chaos terminator unit is destroyed in the warp, the other one is delayed and the last remaining unit of chaos marines doesn't make the reserve roll.

The first vindicator moves to target the quad cannon and l.c sgt and plasma marine, the second vindicator takes a difficult terrain test and rolls a six aiming at the left bastion. The prince flies forward ready to assault the chaplain and terminators. One chaos dreadnought rolls to be sane, and moves towards the right bastion, the other rolls fire frenzy.

In the shooting phase the first vindicator fires and lands on target destroying the quad cannon, the l.c sgt and plasma gun totting marine. The second vindicator is out of range of the left bastion. The fire frenzy chaos dreadnought destroys the ironclad easily with double multi melta fire, the other chaos dreadnought manages to score a crew shaken result on the left bastion.

In assault the remaining chaos marines and shredded by the venerable, it consolidates 6 towards the left right bastion for support. The daemon prince kills all the terminators and the chaplain takes a wound, the chaplain falls back 7" inside the perimeter of the defence line. The sane chaos dreadnought assaults the right bastion and scores crew shaken again, the chaos terminators which had already ripped the dreadnought to pieces fair better with dual chain fists and wreck it.

In the fists turn the venerable moves towards the second vindicator, the hurricane ironclad moves further inside to support the captain and assault terminators, who move towards the daemon prince.

The combat squad in the ruined right bastion with the MI.O.F fire at the chaos terminators which wrecked the bastion but score no kills. The remaining quad cannon, other combat squad in the bastion, hurricane ironclad and venerable all shoot at the chaos terminators and after saves still no unsaved wounds!

In combat the captain and assault terminators charge the daemon prince, the prince uses warp time and three terminators are killed, the captain and terminators fall back 7". The chaplain assaults the chaos terminators though is killed for his troubles.

Turn 3

The two remaining units come in from reserve, both land on target and deep strike in by the left bastion.

The chaos terminators at the right bastion fire at the M.O.F and combat squad, killing two. Both chaos dreadnoughts roll for sane and move forward onto the right bastion objective, one chaos dreadnought fires at the venerable but does no damage. The vindicator in terrain fires at the remaining ironclad but does no damage after landing on target. The chaos marines fire meltaguns at the left bastion and destroy it. The chaos terminators by the now wrecked left bastion fire combi plasmas at the combat squad hiding behind the defence lines, thuogh the chaos terminators had landed in a good position and could draw line of sight without the cover, all imperial fists were blown to pieces by plasma fire.

In assault the chaos terminators by the right bastion move through difficult terrain and dangerous terrain of the wrecked bastion and kill all the remaining marines, except the master of the forge which falls back 7" into the centre compound. The daemon prince assaults the captain and assault terminators, kills the assault terminators and wounds the captain.

The ironclad moves in to battle the chaos dreadnought on the right objective, the remaining combat squad in the wrecked left bastion fire at the chaos marines and score no kills, the venerable fires at the chaos marines and scores no kills either. The ironclad fires the hunter killer at the chaos dreadnought and scores crew shaken only. The M.O.F fires the conversion beamer at the chaos terminators on the objective, and after unlucky armour saves kills three of them bunched up living only one left holding the objective.

In assault the captain charges the daemon prince, scores one wound but the prince passes the save and the captain is killed. The ironclad charges the chaos dreadnought, fails to do any damage and in return the chaos dreadnought rips off its chain fist! The venerable charges the chaos marines and kills two, the chaos marines pass morale test and stay in combat.

Turn 4

The solo chaos terminator moves off the centre objective taking a difficult and dangerous terrain test, but is still within 3" of the objective. The vindicator in terrain moves forward 6", though still in terrain, the other vindicator moves forward onto the objective. The daemon prince flies over by the chaos marines in combat with the venerable ready to back them up. The chaos dreadnought which previously shot at the venerable rolls fire frenzy, the closest target is the vindicator on the objective.

The vindicator in terrain fires at the lowly master of the forge and lands on target, the master of the forge goes to ground but is still blown up! The fire frenzy dreadnought fires twice at the vindicator, first shot misses second shot destroys the twin linked bolter.

In assault the ironclad is cut to pieces between the solo chaos terminator and chaos dreadnought, both consolidate back onto the objective. The daemon prince charges the venerable dreadnought and destroys the ddcw and the power fist champion wrecks the assault cannon. The chaos terminators by the wrecked left bastion charge the combat squad in there and cut them all to pieces with power weapons and chain fist a-like.

No movement in the imperial fist turn, only remaining unit is the venerable dreadnought! In close combat the venerable kills one chaos marine, buts it not enough as the daemon prince smacks it about some more and rolls a 6 for a destroyed result, the dice is re-rolled as per venerable rule and turns out to be a 5, wrecked!

Iron Warriors win claiming both objectives and tabling the Imperial Fists!

You'll notice through out the report I only mentioned two tactical squads, which were spilt into combat squads. My list actually had three tactical squads and I forgot to take the other - god damn it! :@ . Though would have it changed the game? I don't think so, the Iron Warriors lost 3 units to the warp and one objective was swarming with them.

Make sure you check my blog http://imperiusdominatus.blogspot.com for my after battle thoughts and pre-game tactica!

Nice to read that the IW have beaten their arch enemy:):D

Next time the IW shall try the Ground Observer for accurate teleporting.
