as it was I who was choosing table edge I decided to start with not much terrains at my table's zone - I knew Deco liked artillery (mortar, destroyers) so I prefered to have some terrains at his side to hide deathrippers + wraiths and to limit line of sight of khadorian shooters;
Deco's warcaster started game hidden behind devastator, eiryss started hidden in the ruins next to the risen;

all wraiths ran forward, same as mechanithralls and rest of my forces; obe deathripper and mahine wraith were sent on the left flank to distrupt artillery's attention from deathjack and to (hopefully :pray: ) mess with khadorians in the following rounds; DJ advanced 6" and generated necrovent cloud - second death-chicken and machine wraith used it as cover

Deco advanced with all of his forces; vlad casted blood of the kings and signs and portents (I hate these spells...) but even with such suppots artillery didn't manage to inflict any damages on by forces; thing I was seriously worrying about at that moment was devastator in the charge range: if I won't manage to remove that exploding threat - it's rain of death could consume lots of my models next turn!

that was critical moment but I decided to try solving devatator-problem:
I parked deathripper close enough to arc node parasite, after that skarlock casted scything touch on deathjack; my baby also got additional 3 FOC points (5 in total!) to attack devastator in most effective way; but to be sure Deco won't deliver rain of death too close if he managed to survive the DJ's charge I fired it with pistol wraith - khadorian jack has been death-chilled
after charge deathjack was causing 20+3d6 damage 3 times in a row against decreased to 22 devastator's armour; with my final attack I crossed all of remaining damage boxes of khadorian damn'heavy jack - leaving pile of junk on the table!

Deco casted blood of the kings + signs and portents combo to gain jack-statiscics for vlad and to increase chances for hitting me hard;
devastator entered the combat, hit DJ with no problems but... DIDN'T MANAGE TO INFLICT ANY SERIOUS DAMAGE!

pistol wraith took down 2 risens so there was enough space for moving machine wraith to machine meld khadorian jack, mcthralls charged second destroyer and after that I possessed it my second wraith; tthanks to that eathjack avoided a free strike while moving to the vlad! boosted necro-cloud was spawned but I managed to inflict only a few damages...
(in this moment baterries run out
deathripper moved behind engaged vlad so asphysious could deliver 4 breath of corruption pukes (3 of them boosted) - I love iron lich's feat...
it was incredible but vlad survived with only A SINGLE point of life!
ROUND #6
vlad moved out of cloce combat, casted blood of the kings and signs... (for the last time during that battle
Click to see full-sized imageFINAL ROUND
survived machine wraith possessed destroyer once more so deathjack could leave CC avoiding free strike; once again I placed 5 FOC points in total on DJ and advanced cloce to the vlad and alexia:
necrovent was used once again - alexia died immediately consumed by eerie fumes, vlad died a second after - I boosted damage roll!
the battle was over, and we both have good fun*
*I suspect I had better though
