Warhammer 40K (9th ed) - Forward Push


We decided for a game of 40k of 1000 pts incursion, with
Cabal of the Black Heart and Red Creif Cult, vs. Tzeench Cult of Time. The scenario rolled is forward Push and we both decide for Assassinate and Thin their rank as secondary objectives. 



Turn 1
All in order, Tzeench have foreseen the upcoming battle and takes the first turn. Most chaos troops move forward, while the Tzeenchgors hold the home objective. In the psychic phase the psykters destroy the venom holding the Incubi.

Dhrukari advance and unleash all weapons' on the daemon prince and the Hell brute. The Hell brute goes down from the Raider mounted warriors, while the Deamon prince saves all incoming fire (with 3++).







Turn 2
Chaos scores two objectives.

The Deamon prince prepare to assault the Wych raider, while the psychic phase knocks a few wounds off the Razorwing. Shooting bring down the Razor wing to 4 wounds. The Deamon prince Charge the Wych raider, scoring 6 wounds, but the raider saves 4 of them with 6:es!. In return, the pointy raider inflict a wound in melee on the daemon prince.

Dhrukari scores two objectives

Dhrukari wyches dismount and the incubi prepare to assault the marines inside the rhino. However, shooting fail to destroy the rhino, so does the Incubi in Melee, leaving the rhino with 1 wound remaining. Again, the Deamon prince saves all incoming fire, but lose 6 more wounds to the wyches in melee, and the Succubus only takes 2 wounds in return.





Turn 3
Chaos scores another two objectives.

The rubric marines dismount the Rhino, and vaporize the Incubi in a torrent of fire, The daemon prince and a sorcerer blast the succubus brain to fragments with psychic powers, but the badly wounded daemon prince is killed in Melee.

Dhrukari score another two objectives.

The archon dismount and the wyches advance on the rubric marines. Dhrukari shooting takes a heavy toll on the Chaos troopers, and the archon (loosing it's shadow field in overwatch) kill the rhino mounted rubric marines, while the wyches takes down the last rubric marines in the middle, losing most of the squad in defensive fire,










Turn 4
At this point Tzeench has only the Tzangors left, while Dhrukari lost a succubus, a venom and the incubi (as well as a few wounds on vehicles), so we call it a Dhrukari victory at this point.

For this matchup Dhrukari felt like the stronger list.
