Turn 1
No teleports.
Strategy roll: Marines
The Whirlwinds sustain fire, unleashing a barrage on the Veteran Company, killing 1 Veteran.
Land Speeder Detachment 1 then follows up by engaging the Veterans! ?One Speeder is knocked down, but in the end 3 Veterans and 2 Valkyries are left behind by the fleeing Catachans.
The Infantry Company sustains fire, its Mortar Section just barely in range of Speeder Detachment 2, and only places 1 Blast marker.
Speeder 2 advances on the Ogryn platoon: barbequing one of the abhumans.
The Mortar Platoon then sustains fire on the nearby Speeder 2 detachment. ?Shells arc over the hill and swat four Land Speeder out of the air. ?The survivor flees back to the Marine Blitz.
The Predator Detachment doubles forward and fires on the Sentinels, the hail of laser fire cuts down two of the walkers, breaking the formation.
The Regimental HQ doubles closer to the Predators, firing and laying a Blast marker, and in support range for any other attacks?
With a battle cry from their Commissar, the Ogryn charge down the hill to engage the Predators, though they are unable to reach base contact. ?Only one Predator is taken out, via support fire, and only the Commissar and his Ogryn bodyguard are left of the platoon, the other four blown apart by the Predators? so they race back up the hill to hide in the jungle.
Scout Detachment 1 mounts up and doubles up against the Catachan Infantry Company, killing a single Guardsman, but in a good position to support.
Scout Detachment 2 then moves forward to engage the Infantry Company. ?The Marines lose a single Scout, and the Catachans are routed with the loss of 2 Mortar Teams and 3 Infantry units.
Spotting a large banner waving in the air, the Thunderbolt Squadron dives down to strafe Scout Detachment 1, well out of range of the Marine's Hunter. ?The daredevil pilots take out 1 Rhino, 2 Scouts, and the Marine Supreme Commander! ?A great cheer goes up from the Catachans.
The Warhound Titans double up to fire on the Air Cavalry units, but the death of the Marine Commander has shaken the crew and they score no hits!
The Air Cavalry asks for confirmation of their orders, and then advances on the Warhounds, unleashing 4BP of rockets and a massive volley of other fire. ?Warhound 1 loses 2 Void Shields and takes 1DC damage, while Warhound 2 loses a single Void Shield.
The Devastator detachment doubles up and fires on the Air Cav, laying a single Blast marker.
End of turn: All Marine units except the sole survivor of Speeder 2 rally while the Ogryn and Sentinels remain broken for the Catachans, and the Air Cavalry fails to remove any Blast markers due to the nearby Titans.
