Retribution won the roll and set up first:
Turn 1
Ravyn casts Snipe on MHSF, Vortex of Destruction on herself before moving up. Manticore moves up and drops a covering fire to maybe slow the Cryx advance. Arianna and Holt run to the Manticore, everybody else runs almost straight forward.
Malice and the Death Jack run to the right half of the board, Erebus takes the middle. Scarloc casts ghostly on Darragh who then runs behind Erebus. Scav nudges up a few inches. WSC moves up behind Death Jack.
Turn 2
Sentinels spread out between the walls. The walls get ruled as impassable as they are more than an inch tall. Joy. MHSF moves slightly towards center, unload on Erebus, do half his boxes in damage, no systems taken out. Ravyn nudges left, hot swaps snipe to Manticore who moves up and drops a covering fire on top of Death Jack 1 inch in front of WSC. Arcanist runs left to be behind Manticore, MHA and Fane Knight move up field slightly.
Malice moves up, out of range of shooting lead Sentinel. Scarloc Telekineses Death Jack up 2 inches. Scaverous Death Marks Death Jack and Telekineses Erebus 2 inches out of the covering fire. Death Jack charges the Sentinels, killing 2, then Icy Grips the Sentinels. Erebus charges and eats 1 Sentinel. WSC move up behind Malice.
Turn 3
Vengeance attacks from Sentinels take both arms and movement off of Erebus. Vortex upkeeped even though in hindsight it wasn't ever needed. Ravyn feats, fails to hurt DJ with a shot, casts Veil of Mists on the wall between Manticore and Death Jack so that the Manticore can walk over to melee later on. Arianna kisses Death Jack, Holt does 3 to Death Jack. MHSF deal 15 to Malice taking out the left arm and dealing 21 to Death Jack on good rolls. Manticore Power Boosts (forgot to power boost with arcanist beforehand) and proceeds to miss the Death Jack 3 times in melee. Sentinels activate and finish off both Erebus and the Death Jack. Fane Knight charges Darragh missing twice over the defended wall. MHA runs towards the middle of the backfield.
Scarloc Telekineses Malice up 2 inches, Malice charges Manticore dealing 21 disabling its cortex. Forces the Manticore to kill a Sentinel with Possession. (Only after the game did I realize the cortex is now gone, it can't be possessed anymore.) Darragh deals 3 points to the Fane Knight. Scaverous feats, Telekineses himself up 2 inches, Death Wards himself, Icy Chills the Sentinels, charges the Sentinels and Threshers killing 4 including the Officer. WSC move around the wall and deal 7 to the Manticore disabling the right arm.
Turn 4
Arianna kisses Scaverous, Master Holt shoots Scaverous for 2 damage. Remaining Sentinels walk up and deal an additional 7 to Scaverous. Mage Hunter Assassin charges Scaverous, rolls a 7 to barely hit, deals 26 damage for the overkill.
This was the first time this Cryx player has faced Retribution and was not aware of how effective against Warjacks they can be. I feel he charged Death Jack and Erebus in a little early, as at most he would kill only 4 while leaving the 2 heavies sitting right in front of 8 reach weaponmasters and a full Mage Hunter Strike Force with Jack Hunter. The high Cryx Defense did help a bit, with the POW 18 Manticore missing with 3 swings, but once their movement was taken out, it was just an easy mop up at that point.
As a side note. Had my first game of League of Legends against real people where I did not die once. I was rather happy with the game, even if it was against a bunch of noobs. For those who say screenshot or it didn't happen, here you go:
And finally, no painting done yet this past week. I did get some cleaning in the storage room done though, and once that room is cleaned up a bit, the game table is heading in there until I can finish it, which should free up space in the living room to get to the painting table. Until then, I bought a blister of melta guns for my Imperial Guard and ordered a blister of plasma guns... so 2 more points to the negative.
