The vindicare assassin watched as a horde of rabid guardsmen ran towards Terminator Justicar Santaro. The air around the terminator shimmer and burst into a colourful array of dazzling lights as the terminator justicar took immense fire from las and heat weapons fired by the horde of guardsmen.  
The assassin retinal display flashed a skull icon over Terminator Justicar Santaro name just as the hulking terminator crash down on his knees.
The assassin activated his vox bead and said:
"Mission accomplished"


End game thoughts
Very close game... at the end of turn 7, I only had a full wound vindicare assassin left. This game Jaeroler was able to prioritize his shooting and took out my psyfle dread and psycannons meat-shield early. My dice rolls were not as good as previous game and I keep getting immobilized/wep destroy results. The 2 chimeras on the left flank  were basically empty shells (weapon-less and immobilized) but not getting their KP because the chimeras were not destroyed.
Most of the time except in turn 1, I had to use 2 units just to deal dmg to 1 unit. The vindicare was the MVP and took out all the dangerous threats. If the vindicare had fluff like the LR:crusader I would have lost.

Mistakes I made were forgetting the vindicare had infiltrate and spend 1 turn running. I also did not used my orbital strike at all which I paid for. I also should had charged the heavy weapon teams with my terminators instead of shooting the company command squad in turn 5. Which could result in saving my rhino and maybe terminators from dying.

I am considering taking out the DK, its not really good in my list. Should I go the dark side and add more psyfle dreads or add inquisitor warbands?

End game thoughts


Knowing Jaeroler play style I knew he would use his chimeras to rush my objective to get the win while his heavy stuffs will give support fire (anti mech and anti mehreenz).


I place my Land raider right on the lane leading to my objective. To get easy access to my objective, he will keep shooting the land raider to destroy it before rushing his chimeras forward. 
I estimated that fastest he could destroy my LR is on turn 2 due to night fight. He was cautious in his approach 
and did not get near enough to get 2d6 melta, which allow my LR to get a free turn of shooting.

Psycannons are 24", I needed 1-2 turns to allow them to come in and get in range of most IG stuffs at the back. If psycannons were destroyed before getting into position, I would have a tough time dealing with the mech and hordes of infantry. 
Also Jaeroler was too obsessed shooting at my vindicare assassin. Its powerful, but the really important target is the purifiers which I further enhanced with grand strategy. My good dice rolls with vindicare invul save further waste his battlecannons which I was truly afraid. My purifiers were not shot at all till turn 6 and had a field day picking any targets that threaten me, eventually winning me the game by capturing 1 objective. 


My DK also distracted him, where he put alot of lascannon shots into it. The DK G.psilencer had 24" range and could afford ignoring it for 1-2 turns. So if he had spend 1-2 turns shooting at the psyfle dread, a lucky pent could easily stop it for good.  My good rolls with DK saves again prevented my other stuffs from getting las in the face.


The MVP got to be the psyfle dread, anything it shot it destroy. By putting him in the centre, with the battlecannons and lascannons busy with other targets, psyfle dread also had a field day shooting chimeras.  


My rolls were very good, thx to gamescience dice! gamescience dice FTW!
