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!

Haha, I would have attempted to kill your Purifiers more if they weren't all in your Rhino until your 5th turn when you decided to come out and claim your own objective. After that, I only had 2 rounds of shooting to deal 6 wounds.
My deployment was actually just my Lord Commissar and 2 HWT Squads. The 3rd at the back strolled in, the Company Command Squad in Rhino came in on first turn and my L.Commissar embarked.
Plunking down a LR Crusader right in the middle screwed with my ability to seize the middle ground. I couldn't deal with it fast enough to let my troops push through and basically ended up just defending my own portion.
Lastly, I hate your Vindicare's Lightning Reflexes! lol
Rhinos are easy to break open, once the purifiers come out just let them eat pie plates hahaha.
I agree you were very unlucky in shooting at the LR crusader, which allow me a free round of shooting with all its weapons.
Vindicare eat till very full.
The Vindicare sounds lethal on the field of battle. Good shooting there man, didn't think a single bullet could take down a tank lol!
An exciting battle. The results show that it was quite close :)
Actually a Vindicare can easily take down even Land Raiders and Leman Russ with their 4D6+3 rolls.
A below average roll of 3 per dice will grant you with a penetrating roll of 15, enough to pen and force a pen result. Immob, wep destroyed, worst off is to prevent him from shooting.
