A Green Dawn: Adepta Sororitas Second Turn

In the position my opponent was, with the score so hard against him, he just needed to scrap as many Victory Points as he could and get some kill points as to not get entirely kicked out the zone, so he decided to rush out for a final push with everything he had left. I don't even think he was going serious, given the amount of weird manouvers that followed.

For the objectives draw, he got:
Secure Obj3
Secure Obj6
Behind enemy lines (1VP for a unit in Enemy deployment zone, 3VP for 3)

Objective 3 was out of his reach entirely, and he did not have the speed on his remaining units to grab linebreaker, but that did not stop him from attempting it...

 So this is the map after he finished moving his units:

He had managed to grab Objective 6 with his lone priest, which I had left unattended, while his Knight returned to his original deployment position. during this phase a couple of funny and kind of spectacular things happened. He decided to Tank shock both units of Shining Spears in front of his disabled Exorcist, not having much more to do with it, trying to buy his penitent engines some time to get a better position. Both units made their checks but ended displaced enough as for the Autarch being forced to corner himself. The Rhino on the other flank, after being stunned for a round, tried to do the same thing with the Seer Council as to push them against the trees. After passing my test, and realizing he had only one Hull Point Left in that Rhino, I decided to gamble a Warlock from the Council in a Death or Glory stand. (I was pretty sure at this stage I had comfortably won). Funnily enough the Warlock hit with his Spear, and glanced the vehicle into a wreck. He had just won a Tilt Joust against a tank!

during the shooting phase, however, things turned into the grim side for me. The Knight rusader opened up again on my Scatterbikes, who had risked not returning into cover out of his line of sight to grab objectives last turn. Even although both units jinked, one was completely wiped out by the Rapidfire Battlecannon shells, while the other was reduced in half right before the remaining Exorcist mopped up and finished the job. I had lost both units of Scatterbikes, and the Knight proved he could erase two of my small units every turn. On the left, the Penitent Engines ran towards my Shining Spears, and prepared themselves for a long charge.

This is how he prepared for his Assault Phase after the shooting:

















In the Assault Phase, the anticipated charge of the Penitent Engines finally reached its objective, with my opponent rolling an impressive 11" charge that brought us to the second funniest moment of the afternoon. During overwatch, I managed to hit with a Star Lance shot from the Exarch, and took away a Hull Point from the Engine, and then the Autarch slid a Haywire grenade down its tailpipe to finish it off before it had a chance to hit my squad, leaving a wreck in front of the squad, also causing the charge from the other engine to fail.

So for objectives, my opponent got just 1VP for controlling objective 6 with his lone Priest, aand this is how the field looked before the start of the third turn for the eldar.
