Iron Within

THE SHORT VERSION

Jamie Farquhar’s Iron Warriors invade Lume IV against Dan Harden’s Metalica battle convocation in a 1,500-point narrative fight over five objectives. Long-ranged Mechanicus fire and repeated repairs slow the assault, while the Iron Warriors attempt to surround the defenders with daemon engines, transports and teleporting Obliterators. Failed charges keep several decisive combats out of reach during the middle turns.

The battle narrows to a late struggle for the central position and Grand Electrofane. Abhorred Riddick survives the Tech-Priest’s electrical attacks and kills him, while the remaining Obliterator reaches the shrine after a Vindicator removes its last defender. Jamie’s final objective push wins a closely fought game that leaves only nine models across both armies, with both players reviewing the cost of missed charges and durable enemy units.
