Five Armies Campaign: Imperial Knights vs Blood Axes

Cities of Death 2000 points
Diagonal Battle Thingy



A much closer battle than the Orks expected was essentially decided in turn 3.

Up to this point, the Blood Axes had more than held their own against the 4 Knight Titans of the Imperium, destroying the Knight Acheron with withering loot fire and seizing objectives with (admittedly decimated) kopta and bike units.

However,  on turn 3 Gerantius - the supercharged Knight Errant - broke through the Ork defences to seize a vital score and remove the last of the  Axes' mobile options, before himself succumbing to an assault by a tank busta squad. With objectives shared evenly, the Knights' earlier destruction of enemy units (including an infiltrating boss) proved decisive, and with no prospect of turning the battle around the Orks conceded defeat in turn 5.

Knights 17 - First  Blood, Slay the Warlord, 5 Objectives

Blood Axes 15 - 5 Objectives
