In Defense of the [REDACTED] - Turn 3

Post by Dienekes22 » Wed Oct 13, 2021 1:35 am

Last turn was a disaster for the defense, but the tables turned a little this round. Everyone that could attack this round did, even if I didn't explicitly show in the photos.

Image

The Legionnaires advance, shield wall intact, the few able to hit their targets don't do any damage.

Image

The Terrorkhan are nearly to the trench. I saved their attack for response fire since attacking through the bunker wall would be challenging.

The troops inside the bunker fired in response themselves but didn't hit.

Image

"D̶̼͍̉͌́Í̴̯É̸̠̪N̴̫̝̓̚ͅÉ̷͕̗K̶͋͜Ė̶̝̈́͘S̶̹̪̮̄̍̚!̷̪͔́" Eldon shouts.

Image

"Eldon," the Skion hero mutters in return.

Image

Soon they will clash (when there's a better photo op 8) )

(Due to past beef between the Heroes... they cannot be targeted by other units!)

Image

The Headhunter moves forward through the trees and ruins.

Image

The weapons team gets away from the blast zone.

Image

There is a concentrated effort to breach the walls of the bunker.

The rocket launcher and heavy gun were nearly able to overcome the thick concrete, and with the addition of the shells from the Headhunter....

Unfortunately, the Headhunter rolled TWO crit-fails.

(Normally, I'd just have the shells explode in the chamber and likely destroy the mech, but it just got here and it looks great, so instead...)

Image

The mortar shell misfires and lands a few inches away, right behind the Legionnaires...

The incendiary shell meekly slips out of the tube and explodes at the feet of the walker, creating a size 1 fire in the grass, because it isn't a Dienekes battle without spreading flames!

Image

The Legionnaires, unfortunately, are killed.

Image

The jet pack troopers fly onto the bunker. They shoot at their closest targets but can't overcome the armor of the Phalanx hardsuits.

Image

The remining infantry easily blow away two Dominion troopers.

Image

The Brootalz charge forward.

Image

They slay the last Dominion trooper in the trench and occupy it themselves.

The War Manager is unable to damage the hardsuits.

Image

The artillery shell lands harmlessly amongst the ruins as Dienekes and Eldon clash with fire and fury.

Image

Eldon, finally being able to use the fire effect built for his feat in turn 2 that ended up being unnecessary, breaks past Dienekes' defenses and deals 1HP of damage!

Image

Dienekes returns the blow with one of his own, taking 1HP from Eldon!

Image

The artillery loads another shell...

Image

But this time the results are disasterous.

Image

The weapon and its crew are no more.

Image

The machine gun saves its attack for later.

Image

The jump pack Devastator flies into action.

Image

With horrible efficiency she dispatches the Immortal officer. He falls to the ground away from the roof that might have to be removed for photos......

Image

These Devastators move to the left.

Image

While the officer moves to the right. He uses his pack mortar but the damage roll is too low.

Image

These Phalanxes hit but deal low damage.

Image

The same happens here.

Image

The Luchardsko rocket trooper fires point blank. The damage isn't enough to overcome the shield wall but the Legionnaires are disrupted.

Image

The officer attempts a mighty feat, duel wielding rifles at the oncoming IM!

Image

The feat fails, and the shots sail wide. Now he is exposed.

Image

The IM hero (who needs a name) attempts a feat herself...

Image

Using mystical magikal power, she takes hold of the barbed wire...

Image

... launching it at the machine gun crew!

Image

Success! The men are strangled and skewered by magik wire!

Image

The rocketeer lines up...

Image

The shot hits true with incredible damage. Both Phalanxes are destroyed.

Image

The rest of the squad advances.

Image

They kill one trooper outright and take 1HP from the officer!

Image

Here come the minions...

Image

Mr. Skeltal grabs the War Manager!

Image

He throws him far. The Manager bounces off the bunker and lands, broken, on the concrete.

Image

He isn't dead, yet. He's lost 1HP and most of his hardsuit.

Image

Reinforcements!

"The enemy surrounds us!" one of them shouts, "we were all that could be spared!"

Luchardsko has a trooper and a heavy machine gun! The Dominion has a trooper and a medik!

Yep, the defenders are epically screwed...

Interesting.
If you really read Marx, you'd understand how pineapple on pizza is diametrically opposed to the will of the proletariat

That's the weirdest Brootal Flying-Leap heroic feat I've ever seen, and it actually gave him better positioning?
