Battle Report: The Lure of She Who Thirsts

THE SHORT VERSION

Matt’s Craftworld Telennar force tries to keep an Inquisitorial bunker’s daemon sealed away while Colin’s Emperor’s Children force tries to release it. They adapt Void the Ship into a contest over containment hatchways, using Jain Zar, Warlocks and three Aspect units against two Flawless Blade units and Terminators. Speed, Overwatch and control of doors matter as much as casualties.

An early Flawless Blade assault shreds Scorpions, but coordinated psychic and shuriken fire wipes out one unit. Another surviving duellist slips through the Banshees and kills Jain Zar before being avenged; the Terminators survive repeated attacks long enough to open a second containment door. The Aeldari finally destroy Colin’s warlord, leaving both players on 50 points and the result a draw.
