Kill Team 2021 Game 3

In a world full of surprises, we forgot the terrain.

the game was a 125pts, Elite allowed.

The Necrons vs the Space Marines.

We rolled for the scenario 1d20 on the kill team compendium and got the scenario the Cull.

As we never played it, we decided to go for it.

The board was a simple map, with the defender deploying half of his team in the middle and the attacker deploying in each corners.

The SM team, space wolf team with many company veterans.

the fateful 50% deployed in the middle

surrounded by a Melee-only Necron force

Turn 1, one Necron reached the SM. how long the SM will last?

The SM specialised in melee died amd the rest of the SM are fighting with their knives

The flamer attacked the necron leader, same as the others, knife vs flayed one

on the last turn (no picture), the flamer took out of action one necron, while the rest the team died. The non melee specialists of the the SM survived 3 turns, while the SM melee specialist died on the first fight.

Necron victory.

On a side note, the scenario mentioned the reinforcement of the space marines can arrive in their deployment area, as long as not within 9 inch of an enemy, which is physically impossible on this map. So for the whole scenario I was actually playing with only 50% of my army, not the funniest game.

In conclusion, DONT PLAY The CULL scenario for Kill Team

kill team 2021 game 2

With the ease of Covid-19 fear, we lined up one more game at a friend's office, we managed to play one more  Kill Team game. This time a 1v1v1v1.

An old Ork settlement in a wasteland of Necron's artifacts

Mission: Get point for every model killed in melee.

Top left, Taus, Top Right Grey Knughts, Bottom Left Necrons, Bottom Right Space Marines

The picture has a deep shadow as we had not dimmed the light from the window

The GK, 5 models, but very very scary in melee/

The Tau. Using cover and drones hovering above

The Necrons sent their flayed ones against the Marines, while their shooters engaged the Taus

Tau vs Necron. The Stealth Suit are very tough and ok in close combats

The Space Marines and the Necrons are struggling to get a decisive strike

the GK, surprisingly, decided to hold their position for 1 turn, only shooting across the board. Everybody was wondering what the GK were up to

The Tau drones take a significant beating

Tactical Space Marines fights the Flayed Ones, protecting the better equipped troopers. 

As usual, the SM officer, full geared with Melee skills and weapons will fail miserably

Holding the horde. Even wounding Flayed One with knives while their leader died without dealing any damages.

As the GK decided to attack the Tau, the Tau leaders and shooter started to take cover

Necrons and Steal Suits are engaged in melee

The SM and Flayed Ones melee got a surprising turn of events

The SM cleared the Flayed One with rifle butts and knives. Who could have guessed?

The SM rushed to the Tau/Necron area to get points

The GK are crushing the Tau who broke and most units became Shaken

The Necron try to take the full benefits of the Tau's demise. unsucessfully though

The last Flayed One get mobbed by Space Marines

Results. The GK won by massacring the Taus, the Necron failed to get melee kills, and the Space Marines bring Necron' bodies back home as trophies.

Kill Team - Campaign Day 1 - Battle 2 () Battle Report

Day 1...
As the battle rages on the moon, Grey Knights, Orks, Space Marines and Necrons face each others on the ground of an abandoned station. Decimated by the Necron artifacts, the colonists left.
Re-settled by Orks, they were slaughtered during the latest battles in the area.

Now, for reason that only the fog of war can bring, enemies are facing each other. Only escaping while taking out opponents seems to be the most reasonable option.

The mission:
- kill any enemy: 1vp
- exit through opposite enemy territory with the said enemy broken

the Grey Knight. Always by 2 they come

The Necrons 

the Orks

the Space Marines

 During scouting phase, only the Space Marines were able to place 3 hidden bombs, shown as below.

 

turn 1

the Space Marines take position to protect themselves from the Necrons

the 4 Necrons gather to obliterate the Space Marines

The deadly Necrons are moving forward

the GK take position within the base

the GK will move at the gate, ready to fight the Orks

Guess who is hiding?

but the Orks are ignoring the Grey Knigths and try to flank the Necrons

Turn 1 : placement. The SM did not move. All shots did not injured

Turn 2: the Orks continue their move

the Necrons are closing in

the Space Marines avoid the confrontation and slip away

The shots were ineffective, again

 Turn 3

The Grey Knight moved to intercept the Necrons

Facing the deadly Necrons, the Grey Knight stood

the Necrons readied the final push

the Orks hid before rushing the Necrons, when....

the Orks realised they were outflanked by the Space Marines, forcing them to re-deploy

If the Orks did not re-deploy, the Space Marines had a free passage

Panoramic view

Nobody died. A Necron survived a deadly shot by regenerating itself.

 turn 4:

the Orks tried to hold the Space Marines

As the Orks re-deployed, a Grot set himself as the perfect target. The Space Marines killed it, giving a precious point to the Space Marines. The only one point of the game.

We rolled for the 5th turn and got a "2", end of mission.

Victory of the Space Marines, with 1 point.
