Wargames Gallery: Caught in the Open

Somewhere on the sands of the Isstvan system, the World Eaters hunt down the dredges of the Iron Hands survivors and catch them out in the open. 

Will their reaction and over-watch be enough before contact is made on the charge?

  1. Was it enought? Or did the World Eaters run the squad down?

  2. After the charge was declared, the overwatch reaction was taken by the Iron Hands.

    The autocannons are Heavy (2), hence 10 shots.
    Of these, 6 were hits.
    Of these hits, all 6 caused wounds and 2 of them were rending.
    Hence 4 armour saves for the World Eaters. Of these, 3 were successful.
    The World Eaters therefore go down from 6 marines, to 3 remaining.

    The World Eaters in combat get a lot of attacks. 1 base (2 base for the serg), plus 1 for two weapons, plus 1 for charging, plus 1 for being World Eaters.

    A challenge ensues between the squad characters. 5 attacks from the serg with the Falax Blades, 3 of which hit, and all of them rend. That's one very dead Iron Hands serg before he even gets to strike back thanks to Duellist's Edge.

    The regular chain axe World Eater hits 3 times and wounds 3 times. Two failed saves reduces the Iron Hands down to 2 marines.

    In the same combat step, the Iron Hands attack back with 4 attacks (one each). Two Hit. One wounds. One save.

    The Power Maul World Eater then gets his turn. And to cut a long story short at this point, finishes the job entirely. Smash.

    Three World Eaters remain standing having wiped out the Iron Hands in one charge, at the cost of 3 of their own men thanks to the very effective overwatch.
