Martian invaders halted in their tracks

Further and further the Martians pushed into the dark continent. Some would ask if the invaders knew fear. Others hoped. Whatever the answer, this day was one on which they would confront a foe who would certainly have brought on shivers of fear for humankind.

The Undead army:

1 x Hero
1 x Magician
1 x Dragon
1 x shooter
2 x Blades
2 x Hordes
2 x Beasts

The Martian army:

1 x Behemoth
1 x Hero general
4 x Shooters
4 x Blades

The Undead avoid the bulk of the Martian shooters (on the left of the photo, composing the Martian right flank)

The Beasts get stuck in to the Martian flank

And make short work of the first blade element

A second Martian blade is hit frontally, flanked, with a unit of beasts in the rear, but the 1:5 die roll means the Martian blade survives

... but not for a second turn. And the Undead magician ensorcels the Martian hero

The Martian hero is unensorcelled, coming on from the Undead army's rear base edge

But the trap closes on the Martian behemoth

The behemoth kills the Undead hero, but is hit again

and is destroyed ...

The Undead dragon finally appears, just in time to see the Martian army defeated...

Another great game.. HotT continues to give fantastic games, 24 points offers enough challenges to make each game well worthwhile. 

Who knows what the Martain invaders will face next.
