The battle for Deimos

 

The Cadian gate campaign has begun, after several turns of manoeuvring the first confrontation occurs over the forgeworld of Deimos Binary, wich the Blacks Templars invade to purge the chaos filth
We rolled the escalating engagement scenario: only two ships are present at the beginning and the rest show up as the game progresses
A battlebarge and a devastation battled it out in the first turn, doing little damage except damaging one another's weapon batteries
Then the first chaos reinforcements showed up only to be set on fire by some boarding torpedoes

At last the Light of Purity managed to repair her weapons systems with a triple six (!) and destroy her opponent with a single locked on broadside 
By then more marine vessels had shown up, firing bombrdment cannons and guns to full effect
A lucky nova shot from another imperial cruiser crippled one of the heretic vessels
Then the massive Planet Killer emerged from the warp...
And almost destroyed a strike cruiser
The inital skirmish has escalated into a full blown battle, with the imperials dodging the Armageddon gun and concentrating on the chaos cruisers
Another nova cannon bullseye
With one chaos ship destroyed, two crippled and the Planet Killer unable to turn, the game ended in a well earned  imperial victory
In our next game the Black Templars will descend to the surface to remove the chaos taint from the forgeworld.
¡Volcanic rocks make great asteroids I think!
