Turn 1
No teleports.
Strategy Roll: AMTL
The Deathwind bounds forward on a double, approaching the hidden xenos, and ducks into some ruins, unable to find any targets.
A horrific, flapping target reveals itself as the Harridan advances, pops-up from behind cover, and strips two Void shields from the eager Deathwind, before it drops down out of sight.
Hellbringer also darts forward on a double, entering a ruined building for protection, but the supposed "monstrous creatures" still remain elusive.
Hierophant 1 marches from building to building, nearing the road and the enemy Titans, but staying in cover.
The enemy revealed at last, but not looking as big as promised, spurs Lyanna's Beauty forward on a double and it unleashes four spears of blazing plasma into Hierophant 1? doing 1DC damage?
Hierophant 2 hesitates, but the Red Queen encourages her scrawny offspring, and it doubles forward to cover and blows a Void shield off of the Hellbringer.
The Maiestas Pondero advances over the hill and unleashes everything on Hierophant 2, but does no damage!
With a concrete-shaking roar, the Hydraphant doubles forward, nestling down into cover before blasting the Deathwind, but it does no damage to the partially concealed Warhound.
The Thunderbolt Squadron drops from the sky to strafe the Assault Swarm. One aircraft is shot down, but they get a meagre revenge by killing the lone Zoanthrope and a Hormagaunt.
Moving with surprising grace for such a huge creature, along with Her gibbering entourage, the Red Queen doubles up beside Her largest offspring and blasts the Deathwind with the force of Her will. This does no damage, but does break the overwhelmed Scout Titan.
Punch and Jewelee double forward and rake Assault Swarm 1 (16 dice of attacks!), killing 2 Termagants, 1 Hormagant, and a Tyranid Warrior.
Somewhat confused by this vicious beating, Assault 1 fails to do anything but move deeper into the cover of the ruined Cathedral.
Huginn and Muninn double over the hill and also lay into Assault 1, but they only take out 2 Termagaunts.
Seeing the beast in its sights, the Emperor's Ire performs a road march to close the distance?
End of Turn:
The Deathwind fails to rally, and hot-foots it to the far right Imperial flank and the Thunderbolts don't make it off their side, leaving the battlefield with 3BMs.
Hierophant 1 regenerates 1DC.
The Harridan produces 4 Termagants and a single Hormagaunt, while the Red Queen births a Zoanthrope and a Hormagaunt.
(As something like a complete moron, I totally forgot to take any pictures during turn 1!)
