The first of (hopefully) many big Epic Armageddon Events! Epic Armageddon mega battle report!
This post is part three in a series (the last one)!
If you missed the first one then jump here and read it first!

A recap of how turn 2 ended.
The Green wave is hitting the Imperial line.
Washing away the brave defenders.
Hope is not lost just yet!
Although the situation is rather grim!
The Emperor protects!
Round Three:
In the center the Huge big gun mob assaults the Infantry company. Lasguns fire but the sound of defiance is quickly muted out by the roaring greenskins and their obscene monstrosities!
With lots of support and terrifying war engines against them the regular humans do not stand a chance! A well prepared assault against non prepared positions is always a bloody mess.
On the west flank The gargant assaults the furthest mechanized infantry company. Its titanic caricature
The Orkesaurus wave hits the Ultramarine/Krieg shore and washes them away! Unlike waves composed of water thebgreen tied does not trouble itself with removing fallen fighters. Bodies pile up and get crushed by tytanic hooves and Steam Gargant threads!
The Big Gargant opens fire on the east planetary defence cannon. Grots fall of railings as they secure the Supa blast gun shell's and push them into firing position.
The shot deals a point of damage. The cannon shakes and armor panels begin to shatter. Imperial war architecture is sturdy but given enough time and firepower even it will fall.
Ork fighters try to fly in and snipe our supreme commander. Since the hydras are no more they have free reign over the black acid skies. Their foul rockets fire, a trail of black smoke shows their path. Most miss and hit the ground, a few hit but thankfully fail to penetrate the holy armor.
More Orkesauruses crush into the Blue-Grey line. Flooding the imperials with wave after wave of greenskin bodies which they struggle to stop.
The super heavy company decides to drop their usual range advantage and assault the mob assaulting the wall. They are able to win the assault and break both the mob and the Supa-Stompa that got entangled with them. I was hoping they would be able to also break the Mega Gargant but he quite wisely separated himself from them to avoid thi exact situation!
Remnants of the left flank artillery open fire
and rain shells on the advancing Orcs (without much success).
Seeing that the centre is under a lot of stress, the huge Stompa mob redirects its path and moves up east to fire at the combined Krieg-Ultramarine forces.
The Kriegsmen bravely take the incoming fire while hunkered down in some civilian hab structures.
Seeing this as an opportunity, the "Gatekeepers" company returns to it's previous positions and occupies the east gate house granting the imperials a small but firm presence in the trenches (notice that they returned to the exact same position they fought the Mega Gargant from)!
While the east planetary defense gun is barely holding together
The west one is in a bit better shape but far worse position!
Swarms of infantry and walkers of all shapes and sizes are flooding through the broken walls.
Pounding at the defence battery, bringing it down to a single wound remaining.
And if that was not enough bad news The One and only Imperial Titan falls under the combined Xeno firepower. It stood firm and tall but in the end there were just too many enemies.
The half-brave half-crazy flyboys continue to dominate the skies and try to snipe out Commander Yarek and his Baneblade. Fortunately, the Emperor protects, and the reinforced armour does its job!
The Mega Gargant fires up all of its massive guns at the super heavy company. A loud cacophony of noize fills the air! Brigh lights, explosions and mega bullets fly everywhere, hitting both friend and foe.
Once the smoke is cleared one Shadowsword is a block of molten slag, another one is held together by faith alone (one wound left). That is too much, and the unit makes a not-so-tactical retreat!
A Landa swoops by and finishes the West Planetary defence gun! The odds were not in our favour but the situation is getting worse by the minute
In retaliation the Leman Russ Tank company, the only battle worthy remnant of the West gate force opens fire almost point blank into the Big Warband with the two Battlefortresses.
The tanks of the Empire are a formidable weapon at range. At point blank it's almost a meat grinder!. Nobz, Boyz and Grotz are being slaughtered left and right! Some of the shots reach the Battlefortress, they hit the driver which causes him to drive in a random direction with his last breath. Unfortunately for the Orcs the random direction leads him into a direct collision with the other fortress which perishes due to the amount of damage!
A glamorous display of Imperial Firepower all be it too little and to late!
While the battle rages on in other parts of the city the verdict here is ... unexpected to say the least!
Imperials lost both of the Planetary defense guns and the Warlord Titan. However they were able to secure the palace, hold on to (at least part of) the walls and take out a Great Gargant and thus grab the victory! I know this is a "used and abused saying" but this time in complete honestly I can say that the winners were all the players at the table!

Hands down the best game of the year (if not longer!).
A video report with a bit more footage and commentary will be available (not really sure when) as this is too much of a content opportunity to miss on!
