Titans-giving Battle

This Thanksgiving we chose to have a different kind of 40K battle. The scenario is as such:

An Imperial Warlord Titan has been shooting it out with some Ork Gargants when a lucky hit disabled the Titan's plasma reactor requiring a restart. Ork troops, keen to seize the disabled God-Machine swarm in.

A Warhound is close at hand to provide support. A nearby Guard mechanized unit arrive just as the first wave of Orks do. A Blood Angel strike force is moments away, as are hordes of Orks. Can the Imperial forces defend the Warlord long enough for it to restart and swing the tide of battle back?

Every turn, randomly drawn Ork units arrived on random table edges. Blood Angels arrive on turn two. The Orks must keep a unit in contact with the Warlord for a turn to win. On turn four the Warlords starts to roll for restart. The Warlord can not move, and may only shoot its point defense weapons.

 It was a messy, chaotic fight! Ork arriving all around the stranded Titan, and the Imperials just barely managing to keep the Orks back. The Warhound fought in a manner befitting a God-Engine, wiping whole units and a Stompa in a single turn of shooting.

The Orks got close, but could not pull it off, the Blood Angles making an unassailable wall of red armor. It went five turns, but the Warlord woke back up and thundered away. Imperial win!

It was a very good battle, and with the two Titans on the field, looked amazing! Even if the Warlord was just a very nice piece of scenery for the most part.
