File comment: The 'copters fail to destory any Blood Reapers, but do manage to pick off the remaining Rhinos (who droppoed off the Khorne Bezerkers earlier in the game).
A squadron of Tower of Skulls advances forward. With 5 ranged attacks each, things look bleak for the Squats' Iron Eagles...

File comment: With the Collosus on First Fire orders, it is even easier for the Titan to land hits upon the Praetorian. The Gatling Cannon and Turbo Laser Destructors strip away the 6 shields. Two Plasma shots make their mark, although only one shot causes damage; minimal hull damage!

File comment: Now with no Void Shields, the Imperial Titan has to spring to life. The reactor generates 8 plasma, which ensure that the Titan can first fire, operate weapons, firing off three standard shots on the Plasma Destructor, while presenting all other resources to the plasma engineers for any repairs that will require to be done.

File comment: The Titan's weaponry batters the Leviathan's shields and two Plasma Destructor shots hit home. The first destroys the Doomsday Cannon and the second, breaches the bridge, killing the command crew! Those who still survived the damage flee as huge fires catch hold and more explosions rip through the Praetorian. The Titan raises its arms and weaponry in a show of celebration, but the battle isn't over, not by a long shot...

File comment: As they close in on the Collosus, the Blood Reapers' weapons scream death, the powerful projectiles finding their target easily (the Collosus opted to take the First Fire bonus which also means it is easier for the Blood Reapers to hit the vehicle).
