Five Zones Campaign: Forces of the Imperium versus Walkers

What happens when you bring a Knife to a Gunfight?

Mission: Modified Purge the Alien
Armies: 1500 Points plus Handicap
Battlefield: Short and Fat



Best to keep this report short, to protect the innocent....

The Walkers, anticipating a battle against armour, arrayed for battle sporting lots of las-power and elite assault troops...

The Imperium deployed a Ravenwing Strike Force - highly mobile with lots of Jinkability...

Winning the toss, the Ravenwing swept across the board (using their insanely powerful Strike as One ability). This brought them immediately within range of a significant portion of the Walker force, which was decimated by plasma, melta, missile and bolter fire.

Seeing that they were facing a huge challenge, the Walkers responded by sending in their main assault troops - these succeeded in eliminating an Attack Bike Squad that had seemingly wandered too close...

However, the Assault Bikes had been sent to lure the Walkers into the open; and, with the trap sprung, wholesale carnage ensued.

Although the Walkers hung on bravely, they were never able to get past the Cover Saves of the Ravenwing - who were ultimately able to corner the Walker HQ and eradicate the entire Walker force.

Result: Walkers completely destroyed Turn 4
