Grant assembles an improvised Armoured Infantry defence around Commissar Graves, mixing Cadian and Krieg squads in Centaurs and Chimeras with Hippogriff armoured fighting vehicles. His plan uses transports and infantry to obstruct the Orks’ route, with a Rogal Dorn acting as a final goalkeeper against anything that escapes the line. The army is chosen to suit the story of delaying Wazdakka while Yarrick travels towards Death Mire, rather than as a detached competitive exercise.

Dan combines fast bikes and buggies with heavier Battlewagons, a Morkanaut and a Kill Rig to force a route through the Imperial defence. Turbo Boostas can propel Speed Freek units through a gap, while the towering Morkanaut threatens to step over vehicles used as roadblocks. Transported infantry and a Dakkajet broaden the attack, and the mission rewards reaching or leaving the enemy end of the board rather than simply destroying everything in sight.

Danny’s Brionne Barons face Jay’s Nehekhara Nightmares in a tense match narrated by Jim Johnson and Bob Bifford. The Bretonnians exploit their faster players to score first, then break a cage around a ball-carrying Tomb Guardian. In the second half repeated desperate tackles delay the advancing Tomb Kings despite mounting Bretonnian casualties, but a final recovery produces a last-minute touchdown and a 1–1 draw.
