Some more Epic Warpath action. These Mantic Games rules must be one of the best sci fi wargame rule systems on the market. Very sophisticated and streamlined. Highly recommended! In this game the technologically advanced Asterians narrowly defeated 'the Plague', who just ran out of steam by the end.
Using one of the scenarios in the Xenos Rampant rule book, a Tau force had to perform a fighting retreat in the face of a mob of World Eaters. The Tau consisted mostly of light infantry, enabling them to escape with relative ease, although their slower moving 'Ghostkeel' walker, and a unit of heavy infantry, were brought down by the forces of Chaos.
This game of Age of Sigmar went down to the wire, with the one remaining lowly 'Gutrippa' from an Ork infantry unit rolling boxcars to generate two critical mortal hits to do the impossible, and fell a Stormcast Eternal hero. One of the most dramatic finales to a game that we have seen in a long time.
