The Imperial defenders finish the first Bastior phase ahead despite individual defeats and strong invading armies. Player diaries trace Dan’s Mechanicus learning to hold back and use Protector firepower, Matt’s expanding Telennar collection and Wade’s effective Flesh Tearers veterans. Three awarded relics offer a stronger grenade burst, steadier battle-shock tests or a temporary surge of resilience before the team scores reset for phase two.

Matt connects traditionally coloured Aspect Warriors to Craftworld Telennar with shared orange accents, supported by turquoise details and grey wraithbone. Wade’s Third Company receives veteran reinforcements whose deep red, black and warm metallics match the existing Flesh Tearers. Their recipes make the new units part of established Crusade armies while preserving the distinctive roles of individual warriors.
