BATTLE REPORT·WHITE DWARF 447

A Titanic Duel

October 2019·p. 143

THE SHORT VERSION

Matt and Lyle use matching forces of a Warlord and two Warhounds for an introductory clash. Aggressive scouting exposes Lyle’s smaller engines to the opposing Warlord, after which Matt’s surviving Warhounds encircle the last target, making the game a practical lesson in positioning around a much heavier opponent.

Da Bombing Misshun!

Jay Clare’s Orks attack missile silos defended by Michael Bax’s Imperial aircraft and flak batteries. Early losses put the Navy behind, but a surviving Thunderbolt fights back through a succession of close manoeuvres; the Orks’ bombing damage proves just enough for a narrow 168–164 victory despite losing most of their aircraft.

Big Men, Little Titans

Lyle adds two Warhounds to his Legio Astorum collection and begins a new Guard army. A pale blue Contrast paint provides the plasma glow on the Titans, while following an established app palette helps him bring the first infantry to a useful consistent standard quickly.

Gaming in the Bunker: For the Greater Good

Jonathan tests his T’au in small games against Dan’s Orks and then Adeptus Mechanicus. The second contest becomes a fierce exchange of fire followed by unexpected close combat, but the T’au again finish ahead, illustrating how practice with a collection can reveal threats beyond its obvious shooting role.
