Last Saturday,
Johan and I decided to have another game of Warhammer 40k.
I would be fielding my Death Korps and Johan his Renegades.
We decided on 1500points.

We decided on 1500points.
I wanted to
use my entire cavalry collection as it feels like it been ages since they were
all on the same table. So a heavy Cavalry theme was the plan, to support these
I got two Griffons, some Autocannons, one platoon of infantry and a squad of
grenadiers and a squad of Engineers in an Centaur.
On the
opposing side I would be facing Johans awesome converted Ogryns, lots of squad
of Renegades with heavy weapon teams inside and two small even more awesome
converted tankete squadrons (using sentinel rules).
The game
started with a general advance on my behalf.
I think I
did get a bit carried away with wanting my cavalry into close combat and moved
them a little to far.
Johan was able to close in and charge me instead, reducing me to sabres and
laspistols instead of lances, darn it…
Somehow this catastrophe did not happen as Johan did roll extremely badly and I not only did survive I was also able to win one of the combats.
I followed
up this combat with a squad of regular infantry tipping the numbers in my
favor.
One
squadron of cavalry charges forward, I kept one as a reserve and the Centaur
not wanting to use up that precious one use lance.
Fearing
what the Ogryns would be able to do if given the chance I charged two unit of
Deathriders into them.
And I
managed to kill them off completely on the charge, denying them to strike back.
It was on the last wound but that was all I needed.
Enemy Tankete reserves arrive…
Only the
Commissar survived.
Enemy
heretical command psyker and his bodyguard charges me… He is using his psykic ability
to enhance his strength and becomes a powerful enemy that could spell trouble. Unfortunately
Johan continues his extremely bad rolling and his presence where hardly felt.
A small
unit of Deathriders plan to charge the enemy, but that was not to bee. Both of
them were gunned down by the enemy as a charge reaction, the Autocannons in
their unit sure paid off.
I managed
to strike down some of the heretical overlords guards in the fight and that was
enough to make him flee and he was trampled down by the hooves of my horses.
My
engineers dismount and assault the tankets combined with the mounted Commissar.
Another
unit of Tanketes arrive. I had kept one unit of infantry and their platoon
commander back for such a thing. Just hope that that’s enough.
Two
decimated unit of Deathriders charges in with sabres drawn.
The
combined fire of Autocannon teams and the meltaguns from the platoon command
squad wrecks havoc on the enemy tankets.
Enemy
tanket tried to drive away from my engineers and help their faltering center
positions, I catch up and destroys it.
The
Deathriders have cleared the difficult terrain of the last heretic presence.
Huzza.
The fields belongs to the Death Korps of Krieg…
Big thanks Johan for a nice game. I promise not to field such numbers of Deathriders in the next game. :P
