One last try of the same Grizzled Company list. The Knights played Purge the Foe. Simple list: 5 big knights and a navigator.
Battle round 1
Knights take first turn. Curse the Dawn of War deployment. The Destrier simply walked up and shot down a 25-nun squad. The Castellan also obliterated the Sentinel and brought the Hellhound to 1 wound.
What can men do against such reckless hate? I rode out to meet them. Focusing all the firepower on the left side of the table: the battleshocked Hellhound, a full squad of Cadian nuns with lethal hits, an IFV and an artillery team. Brought the Destrier down to 4 wounds. Sign. Should have put the Rogal Down in the center.
Also scored some points with Sly Marbo in the center ruin and placed Gaunt's Ghosts on the right.
Battle round 2
The knights simply walked forward and annihilated my forces. I only had whatever was hidden in my deployment zone remaining, plus a squad of nuns in reserve. I conceded.
Conclusion
At least the game was short.
I knew my list wasn't very good, but it lasted 3-4 rounds against Dark Angels and Custodes, so I simply thought I simply wasn't piloting it well enough. But this was brutal. I'll rethink my approach for next time.
