First game with Hearthband

I originally posted the following as a reply in another thread, then felt i should put it here. Enjoy

Just played a2k game this evening against G.S.C brood brothers.. I liked it. Takeaways? List is below to follow along. Took 2 Kahl's, one with a hearthkyn squad and earthquake enhancement, the other with a 5 brick hearthgaurd and high kahl enhancement. Started both outside 2 hekatons for potential line of sight judgment for one of them. Champion with shield enhancement in reserves with a 10 brick beamers for that rapid fire deepstrike opportunity via strategem.(it worked so nice) 2 sagis to split 2 other hearthkyn (kill them I give judgment) . 1 yaegir squad (see aforementioned tactic) And a 6 brick thunderkyn beamers squad. Got defender and 1st turn, 1st round slow going. Crawl to cover or fully behind ruins, no line of sight judgment. Then lost yaegirs and a 5 man hearthkyn. Then turn 2. Bwahahaha. Kahls missed out on judgment cause hopped in hekatons beginning of round 1. Hekaton's performed admirably. Sagis overperformed, then 10 brick of hearth gaurd slayed. Grenades killed neophytes and leader, beamers hurt a lemon russ bad, champing charged (no mortals) but finished with the hammer. There's more including the 10 brick taking another tank out and thunderkyn delivering on overwatch,... but yeah. I enjoyed myself with ap 1 grenades ap 4 beamers. Buffing the 10 hearthkyn was fun as well. And I won 51-22. Excuse battle scribe and not having proper detachment
