Boom! Pow! Stop throwing your pokeballs around and watch what happens when walkers get toughness values! Get ready for some melee mayhem!
Today, we’re forging the narrative with walkers that have a toughness value instead of an armor value.
My dreadnoughts are coming in Toughness 7, Armor 3, 4 Wounds, Monstrous Creature and because they’re Venerable, 5-up Feel No Pain! Talon’s Sentinels are coming in Toughness 7, Armor 3 (thanks to armor plating), Monstrous Creature and 2 Wounds.
If you’re playing the Long War Drinking game, don’t watch unless you have ATLEAST 36 beers ready to go!
Turn 1
The dreadnoughts all run forward, and the Guard attempt to envelope them to keep the battle in the center of the board.
Turn 2
The dreadnoughts crash into a blob squad and start grinding them down. Meanwhile, Yarrik and his Ogryn come rumbling into two other dreadnoughts. Yarrik eviscerates Murderfang and earns the guard first blood.
Turn 3
The Dreadnoughts continue their mayhem around the board, but Yarrick continues to run Roughshod on the dreadnoughts and clips another in combat.
The sentinels come in hot trying to assassinate Bjorn from behind with preferred enemy! They deal a single wound after 4 plasma shots fail to find their mark against the Toughness 8 Bjorn. However, Yarrick goes down as he’s unable to kill two dreadnoughts by himself.
Turn 4
Talon revives Yarrik and he heads back into the fray. However, he’s just not himself this turn and gets smashed back down.
The Dreadnoughts continue to run Roughshod over the Imperial Guard blobs. The sentinels manage to drag down some Dreadnoughts. This causes the Dreadnoughts to take a leadership test, which we decided that they’re venerable means they’re veteran status. However two tens mean they have to run away.
Turn 5
The dreadnoughts rally and come back into combat. The sentinels this time have to take a leadership test. They fail and must run away. The Dreadnoughts opt to grab the Sentinels by their spindly legs and smash them to bits.
Yarrick, comes back to life and runs towards the objective attempting to go after every single battle point left on the table.
