The Game
Deployment
The grey template on the right is a wood.
Turn 1
Cygnar Turn 1
The Nyss moved forward to hide in the wood. Rhupert piped Heroic Call for the Gun Mages. The Stormwall ran forward. Haley advanced and cast Temporal Barrier.
Protectorate of Menoth Turn 1
Each 'jack received 1 Focus.
The Reckoner advanced and shot at the Gun Mages with a boosted to hit roll, which missed. The Vassal moved up to the Reckoner and allowed him an Ancillary Attack - which missed as well.
The Choristers sang the Hymn of Passage to protect all Menite 'jacks.
The Revenger ran forward, to get into a position where Kreoss was able to arc node Cleansing Fire on the Gun Mages. Three were hit and killed, but one was saved by his Tough roll granted by Heroic Call; still he was Knocked down and burning.
All other models ran forward.
Turn 2
Cygnar Turn 2
The fire continous effect on the Gun Mage expired. Haley allocated three Focus to the Stormwall.
The Nyss Hunters CRAed the Bastions for 9 points of damage, which were brotherly distributed.
The Gun Mages moved behind the cover and then used their Thunderbolt ammunition on the Choir, killing one. Carvallo ran into cover with them as well.
His Mercenary colleague Gorman moved towards the center.
The Stormwall advanced towards Kreoss. He placed a Lightning Pod and used to attack the Revenger (0 dam) and one Chorister (dead). With his Chainguns he cleared away more of the singers ( 1 attack, miss | 2 attacks, to kills). With his Big Guns, he then targeted Kreoss. With a boosted to hit roll he caused 11 points of damage; the second gun also hit with a boosted to hit roll and killed Kreoss (double 6 damage roll).
Aftermath
Matthias (Protectorate of Menoth)
This was my first game against a colossol - and I massively underestimated the amount of damage it alone can dish out which cost me my Warcaster… Next game will be different…
