Game 4 of Hero for a Day was an 1850 pts single game featuring my White Scars taking on Jack's Sisters of Battle. I had last played Jack in the Kill Team game in mission 2, so was keep to see how I would fare against the full army.
The mission was "Outflank". Players deployed in table quarters with three objectives on the table; one in the centre and one in the centre of each unoccupied table quarter. In this mission, only fast attack units could be deployed at the start of the game. Any vehicles could arrive on turn 1 on a roll of a 4+. Secondary objectives were First Strike (like first blood, but could be scored by both players on turn 1), Linebreaker and Slay the Warlord.
My army consisted of:
Scarblade Strike Force
Stormlance Battle Demi-Company
Khan- Moondrakkan (with BS1)
5 Tactical Marines- Bolters, Flamer, Meltabombs (T1)
Rhino (R1)
5 Tactical Marines- Bolters, Grav gun, Meltabombs (T2)

5 Tactical Marines- Bolters, Meltagun, Meltabombs (T3)

5 Scouts- Meltabombs, Combat weapons, Bolt pistols (S1)
Landspeeder Storm (LS1)
5 Scouts- Meltabombs, Bolters (S2)
Landspeeder Storm (LS2)
Khan was my warlord. I was lucky in this mission as the majority of my army was fast attack choices, the rest were vehicles that could potentially arrive on turn 1.
Jack's army consisted of:
Combined Arms Detachment
Saint Celestine (SC)
Canoness- Combi-plasma, Book of St Lucius (with CS)
5 Command Squad- 4 Heavy Bolters, Hospitaller (CS)

Exorcist (E3)
Vengeance Weapons Battery (VB1)
Vengeance Weapons Battery (VB2)

A lot of Meltaguns and Flamers to go up against with my bikers, this should be interesting. His warlord trait gave him +1 to seize the initiative and re-rolls for his reserve rolls.
I won the roll for deployment zone and chose the side with the big line of sight blocking terrain. I also won the roll for deployment and chose to go first. I deployed the two bike squads in the centre and one in the building to the right.
In reply, Jack deployed his two Vengeance batteries, one on each side. Two of his Immolators went on his left flank and one went on the right, behind some ruins. I then infiltrated the Scout Bikers close to an enemy Immolator.
I then scouted the bike squads and attack bikes forward to get into short range of the Sisters' lines.
For the hunting force targets, I chose:
Primary- Canoness
Secondary- Exorcist
Tertiary- Exorcist
Jack failed to seize the initiative and I got the first turn.
TURN 1- WHITE SCARS
As the White Scars bikes surged forward, two of the Rhinos and both Landspeeder Storms arrived from reserve, moving on to support the advance guard. Khan led his Bikers against one Immolator on the left flank, while the rest of the army moved to engage the other enemy vehicles.
The Landspeeder fired at one Immolator, glancing and penetrating the vehicle once, shaking the enemy transport. The Scout Bikers fired their grenade launchers at the vehicle, wrecking it.
The two attack bikes fired at the second Immolator. Both Multi-meltas hit, immobilising the transport and destroy its primary weapon. The Chaplain's bike unit fired at the Immolator, wrecking it with their grav guns. The squad inside were Pinned as they emerged from the destroyed transport.

TURN 1- SISTERS OF BATTLE
Seeing the White Scars forces engage, the Sister of Battle reserves all took to the field to fight back (thanks to Jack's warlord trait), only the Assassin and Saint remaining in reserve. Three Exorcist tanks arrived at the backfield, ready to loose their missiles at the White Scars. One Rhino arrived on each flank, moving up to engage the bikers. The Command Squad disembarked to target the White Scars warlord.
One Battle Sisters squad moved up and fired their flamers at the bikers in front of them. Two Scout Bikers and one Biker were engulfed in the flame and fell. Another two units snap fired at the Chaplain's unit, but failed to cause any damage.

AFTER-BATTLE THOUGHTS
Thanks to Jack for a great game, it was a lot closer than the scoreline suggested.
I think I had some good advantages in this scenario, as much of my army were fast attack choices, the rest were in vehicles. This meant I could start with most of my army on the board, ready to go after the Sisters from turn 1.
Jack also got unlucky with his Exorcist rolls for much of the game. Only in the first turn did they cause significant damage to my army. The rest of the game, he was rolling quite low for the number of shots the tanks got and was missing with many of his few shots.
I think my plan worked well overall
