Imperial (Deathwatch) vs Adeptus Mechanicus
Mission: Purge the Alien (Modified)
Battle Field: Hammer & Anvil
Short night Fight
After being surprised by the Mechanicus' defensive position in their last encounter, the Deathwatch turned up with their own defensive position and dug in. The Imperial defence line and emplaced guns gave their squads plenty of cover but limited their own deployment. This allowed the Mechanicus to rain down a vast number of strength 6 twin-linked shots that finally started to take their toll on their opponent's defences.
Infilitrating Skitarii took out outlying gun emplacements, while a Drop Pod belched forth it's Dreadnought cargo to little effect against a well dug-in Dunecrawler.
Falling further behind the destroyed unit count, the Deathwatch were forced to leave the relative safety of their defensive position, but to no avail. Luck continued to favour the Adeptus' offence and had finally abandoned the Imperium as their Psyker became a victim of the Warp.
The remaining Deathwatch took themselves from the field, leaving the Adeptus Mechanicus victorious.
