A force of Necrons is waiting for any who would travel down this road. They have units strung out across the road and hidden in the alien vegetation to attack on the flank of any on the road. So on to battle using the forces described in the previous post.
Turn 1
The first activations were with the Necrons as they are the one's laying in wait. They quickly eliminated one of the oncoming jet bikes. Who returning fire to cause a destroyer to be shaken. |

Turn 2
The Necrons recovered their shaken destroyer and placed a warrior squad into overwatch once it had reached cover of the shell craters broken ground.The jet bikes continued to shoot at the destroyers causing another shaken result. Sergeant Floric with his flamer squad disembarked from the Rhino APC using his free AP as a veteran. Then the squad went on to eliminate the heavy destroyer with automatic advancement into the vacated square.

Emboldened by success, Sergeant Rostoc charged out of this Razorback APC attacking the scarab horde, halving their number (hordes take two hits in the rules).
Turn 5
Necron attacks had no effect. With support from the remaining jet bike and the Razorback, Sergeant Rostoc's squad charged and eliminated the remaining scarabs. Meanwhile, the unstoppable Sergeant Floric continued has rampaging charge and eliminated the Nercon warlord. Then moved into the vacated open ground.Turn 6

Necron attacks were focussed on Sergeant Rostoc's squad which they successfully eliminated. The Space Marine force is now in dire straights. |
| A Necron victory is at hand! |
Turn 9
The elimination of the Razorback APC saw the remaining Space Marine squad retire.After Game Thoughts...
The rules provided a reasonable and close result. They took 30 minutes to play in my estimation if I take out time spent making notes for this post.
I will be treating missile launchers (Sergeant Rostoc's squad had one) as a blast weapon when coming up with unit details in the next game.
Man of the match was an easy decision - Sergeant Floric and his squad for their advance.
So the first game of the 6x6 challenge ends, and a thank you to Kaptain Kobold for proposing the challenge idea (here).
