Ajax II, game 1 - Horus Heresy event


This is a small aar from the first game I had from the Ajax II Horus Heresy event.


Pictures of my army and background fluff for it acting in the Ajax sector as previously showed on the blog can be found here: http://kampgruppe-engel.blogspot.com/2019/07/solar-auxilia-army-picture-for-ajax-ii.html




First match I would be facing Sebastian and his World Eaters.
All those ap4 chain axes could just chew through my infantry so I was a little scarred.







 Good thing I had the noblemen in drazina, knight suits to protect the peons...

Leviathan dropping, scattered back from intended target
Droppod with Red Butchers. The intended piece for the drop can be seen here as it closes down. A forceful wind or a sudden jink from fire must have driven it of course as it scatter 12" and landed behind my lines instead.

The lord of the drazina knights is taken out by combine firepower of the Leviathan and the Warhound Titan. The shield could only facing one side and he got hit from multiple...

I was a little hesitant to charge the Leviathan as he could trash a knight but it was better for me to charge him then the other way around.

The dice deserted Sebastian and the Leviathan only managed to get a single hit in on my knight and it managed to survive. When it was time to swing back the Leviathan was cut to pieces...

With the the Red Butchers behind my lines Lord Marshal Alexandr gives the order to Troopmaster Natalia Koluchev and Sergeant Valentina Testova to with their soldiers to attack the enemy with krak grenades...
The Red Butchers in their droppod got swarmed by two units of lasriflemen, their medics and the Lord Marshal himself.
Attacked with more then 40 krak grenades the Red Butchers got burned to cinders inside their own transport as they were enable to get out... The exit doors was blocket by lasrifle fire, bayonets and more krakgrenades...


The Scion Uhlan Lancer are spearheading the counter attack against the enemy line...
Huzza!

Air cover is starting to make their appearance, strafing the enemy Dreadnought with fire.
My Scion Uhlan Lancer have used its hit and run special rule and have disengaged the enemy assault marines and have instead started to run up against the enemy Warhound Titan...

The Velitares under the command of Prime Vikotin Evanov is trying to find cover inside their Aurox transport as the enemy assault marines moves in...




Stabby stabby... The Scion Uhlan Lancer manages to dodge the enemy firepower and is moving in...
The Warhound is badly damaged but survives.

It moves back and open up with its large gun for another salvo... This time the Scion Uhlan driving the Lancer knight is not quick enough and it is taken out.

Enemy assault marines starts to chew trough my infantry...


The combines firepower of the quad-multilasers and the lasriflesection manages to inflict an surprisingly amount of damage.

Only the World Eater Preator is left standing...

With the words of: "-How tought can he be..." Lord Marshal Alexandr charges the enemy warlord on a mano a mano fight, one on one.

The answer is thought enough with plenty to spare... And my warlord is taken out in one round...
 

But on a lighter note, my two Thunderbolt aces have acquired a juicy target in the form of a damaged Warhound Titan...
With the combined might of their lascannons and the remaining missiles the Titan is taken out.

This meant that I somehow just managed to scrape together a small victory for the loyalist side...
An intense and fun game, thanks Sebastian.


Here under is some pictures I managed to snap during this game of other players miniatures or games:
