Adeptus Titanicus - Battle Report

 Adeptus Titanicus finally got an outing!

A proper one, as I ran a couple of games remotely over the Christmas lockdown period, as we found that it was kinda perfect for screen sharing, being few models not a mass of terrain and the other player could manage their own data cards and such at their end.

Went for the opening scenario in the rulebook, where the Loyalists have dug into the city and the Rebels are marching in for the attack.

Was really good, those titans can take a hell of a beating!



Initial deployments and table layout






Battle Group Cainus (my group!) prepare to advance


City under siege



Loyalists advance out of the city in an aggressive defence



Loyalist Warlord holds down one side of the field.



Endless firefighting occurs, as the Rebels try an outflank with their warhounds.


Loyalists prepare for an incoming assault from between the hills


Battle Group Cainus advances into the smoke



Loyalist Warhounds counter attack, supported by allied battle group


Reaver meets Reaver



Open fighting on all sides of the table


Loyalist centre holds the line



Eventually, the Loyalist Reaver in the centre explodes from accumulated damage and takes out the surrounding friendly Warhounds in a chain reaction explosion


Rebel win!


Brutal game, which was a long firefight really, so it came down to who was going to be losing the first titan and swinging the balance in their favour, as it really could have gone either way.

  1. Hurrah! Getting your toys on the table with friends… what’s not to like about that…

    A brutal shooting match for sure… but it is after all the grimdark.

    All the best. Aly

    1. I know, it seems like such a small thing to be able to play in person, but theres nothing like it once out and about again! Plus, all that lockdown painting means new projects hitting the table :)
