On the approaches to Helsreach, Imperial Titans including 2x Warhounds and 3x Reivers face their foes across an waste ash field. They see a Slasher and the feared Great Gargant. The fate of a force of Imperial troops rest upon these Princeps and their 'God Machines'...
The Slasher (top) and the Great Gargant (bottom)...
The Imperial Force containing the Warhounds (left) and Reivers (right). First shots of the immense Belly Guns carried by the Orks at the Reivers both missed. Luck did not continue though, and the next shots tore through the sheilds and exploded the head of the Reiver "Emperor's Talons". Certainly not what the Imperials envisioned...
The Reivers missile barrage failed again to make any impact on the enemy's energy fields and they now must close the range...
While the Reivers desperately attempt to close the range to bring their Plasma Guns into play, the Warhounds close in themselves with their Turbo Lasers, smash down the Ork shields and force an internal explosion that puts paid to the Slasher. Perhaps there is hope after all...
The massive Great Gargant however possesses 12 Energy shields! The Reivers must survive and get close...
The Reivers survive another Belly Gun blast that had targeted them both as they got too close and are now just about to add their firepower to the struggle...
Absolute disaster strikes the Imperials! The Reivers 'Judgement Day' and 'Justice Delivered' both are destroyed after only getting one shot off between the two! The only success was the Reiver taking down the last Energy Shield. Only the two scout Titans remain. But these smaller machines split up to attack from different directions. And they get hits and started an internal fire. The Orks return fire destroys one arm weapon on each and then damages a leg so the machine can't move. It looks very dire..
The The Emperor Protects! The Orks lose control of their Belly Gun, then numerous hits on the ammo in the Gargant creates an uncontrollable fire. Suddenly there is a massive explosion that rips the Gargant into pieces. The 'Emperor's Rage' which was in the blast zone, fortunately had one shield up which saved it from any damage. The Imperials win an extremely costly victory with one Reiver a complete loss and two others and a Warhound looking at months of repair.
