Valley of Blood

THE SHORT VERSION

Matt Hutson’s Blood Angels company and Ian Strickland’s tanks attempt to recover a Tau colony held by two allied commanders. Jammers disrupt Tau deployment, while railgun nodes, aircraft and a reserve battlesuit force punish the Imperial advance. Once Mephiston and the Marines breach the compound, however, its defenders struggle to dislodge them. A Marauder devastates the counterattack and Imperial armour clears key positions, producing a four-objective-to-two victory despite a lost Baneblade and a disastrous wandering Vortex grenade.
