Legions Imperialis - First Game

Albert and I met a Dragon's Lair for my first game of Legions Imperialis.  1,000 points.  I've been assembling and painting terrain and minis for this game since August!

 The table:

 The buildings span over three decades of GW's epic-scale terrain: 

First edition Adeptus Titanicus styrofoam buildings (that's polystyrene to folks across the pond); 

Second edition Epic Space Marine plastic & cardboard buildings; 

Epic 40,000 plastic ruins; and 

current Adeptus Titanicus Industrial stuff.  

Deployment: 

Albert brought traitor Solar Auxilia. Here is just half of a giant Tercio of infantry, with Malcador tanks and a Baneblade on the left:

Charonite Ogryns on the left

Leman Russ tanks, Heavy Sentinels in a promethium refinery area, and the Baneblade again in support.

I fielded Blood Angels and Dusk Raiders (Loyalist Death Guard).  The Blood Angels deployed in the center - two tactical detachments, Contemptor dreadnoughts, and two Kratos heavy tanks.

On the left flank, here is the Dusk Raider Demi-Company - Rhino APCs carrying tactical marines, Kataphract Robots (count as Contemptor Dreadnoughts), and supporting Kratos and Predator tanks.

Right flank - Sicaran tanks in cover, Blood Angels in the background.

Turn 1: Traitor infantry occupy the right-hand objective (poker chip).  Blood Angels and Sicaran tanks advance to oppose them.

On the left, the Dusk Raiders take the objective and occupy two forward building as a horde of infantry, Ogryns, and Leman Russ tanks bear down on them:

Turn 2:

The traitor Auxilia charge and kill both Sicaran tanks and some Blood Angel infantry on the right.

On the left, Kratos tanks move up and begin mowing down the infantry horde.

Most of the Ogryns were shot down.  Two attacked the Rhinos, easily taking them out, only to be shot-down in the Advance Fire phase by supporting Robots.

After that, we forgot to take pictures!  Suffice to say, lots of stuff was blasted into oblivion!

MVPs: The Solar Auxilia's Heavy Sentinels wiped out an entire detachment of Blood Angels marines in a building with one missile volley.  The Blood Angels Kratos tanks killed most of them in turn, as well as  Baneblade, Malcador, and a bunch of infantry.  The then drove over the infantry and occupied the right-hand objective.

In the end, the traitor tanks were all knocked out, and the remnants of their infantry were fleeing.  Victory for the Loyalists!
