Legio Ulricon & House Liagaun vs Legio Gryphonicus & House Coldshroud
Battlemat: Medieval Ruins by Deepcut Studio
Scenery: Mix of new Adeptus Titanicus, TT Combat, Daemonscape and Bespoke
With the gift of a Deepcut Studio battle mat for my Birthday it was time to take games of Adeptus Titanicus up a notch. When I played the original 30 years ago I couldn’t imagine playing go a surface like this – carpets and the original polystyrene buildings were it – we had good fun adding in books and maybe a sheet for terrain effect… So for this game we were recreating some magic.
The titans of Legio Ulricon and Legio Gryphonicus lined up once again, with the knights of House Liagaun and House Coldshroud moving at pace into the centre field. Warlords and Reavers opposed each other on the flanks and started tearing into each other.
The loyalist Reaver missile launcher stripped off the shields from the opposing Reaver a fact that would not be reciprocated and prove critical. The traitor went on to suffer critical damage that could not be returned. With a leaking reactor things weren’t looking good for the traitors.
Despite the tall buildings there was no hiding the towering mass of the Warlords and they too exchanged Salvos, both losing void shields but surviving complete collapse.
The knights closed in to effective weapon range and started trading volleys down the central city valley. They never made it into close combat before the game ended prematurely and in the mean time the ion shields did a great job in protecting the Questoris.
The Warlords also traded further volleys with stray rounds of volcano cannon fire turning the surround scenery to slag. The void shields however held strong. The game ended after three turns with an agreed draw. Looking forward to the next fight!
