The mighty forces of the Ultramarines, Imperial Guard and Knights clashed against an Iron Warrior force over a wrecked Imperial World- both forces looking to claim one of the mightiest spoils of war- a Warlord Class Titan. Marneus Calgar looked to claim the Warlord and return it to Mars- Whilst the Iron Warriors and Abbadon looked to claim the Titan and add it to the unholy crusade.
We both wanted to try out some new units, which aren't naturally available for our forces. The6thdegree had included a Fire Raptor, as well as 'borrowed' a Typhon from me to add a Lord of War to his Force. I was keen to use my new Kharybdis Assault Claw- These are not technically allowed in our respect lists, however we decided to allow this slight deviation of the rules.. [T6D – there are actually Forgeworld rules for Fire Raptor and Perturabo created the Typhon so I feel slightly justified…)
We had 6110 points a side for this huge 'old school floor battle'. (I was quite relieved that my Wife was happy to spend the day away from home having a Spa day... )

Imperial Turn 1
Drop Pod arrives on point, with the Sternguard in position to unleash their Melta combi weapons
The Kharybdis Drop pod with the Terminators and Calgar scatters slightly- but still in position to attack 6th’s flank
Fellblade opens fire on the Obilterators- scoring snake eyes to wound- (it might be one of those days..)
IW Land Raider destroyed by combined fire of the Sternguard and Knight Paladin
Vindicator destroyed by the second combat squad of Sternguard
Hellbrute killed by the Fellblade
19 cultist killed by the Eversor in combat and the Kharybdis fire
6 Cultists killed by the Scopius

Knight Paladin taken out with fire from Havoks, lascannons and a hunter killer missile
2 HP taken off another Knight (green)
A Sternguard, and a Storm Shield terminator are taken out by fire from the squad disembarked from the destroyed Land Raider and a Rhino respectfully
Close Combat- Chosen and Warpsmith charged into the 2 Sternguard Combat squad and killed them all - using superior (power) weapons.
Decimator and Hellbrute charge into combat with the Eversor and the Cultists. The Eversor takes out the Decimator with a Melta bomb- The Hellbrute in-return wounds the assassin three times - but all are saved due to the amazing reflexes (and dice rolling) of the Eversor [T6D – I weep over the rolling this turn…)
