Editing LeonidasAndCollin (section)

===Imperial Highway===

This event takes place immediately after the Hab District ambush.
Leonidas and the Black Shield are in hot pursuit of the XV8's, the rest of us are a group of marauding Ork Lootaz looking for gubbinz ter sell.

The board for this was basically a long, narrow one that consisted of the Highway and a thin strip of the surrounding desert.
The Highway had been abandoned in a hurry, leaving things like bikes and vehicles loaded with ammunition supplies scattered along its length.
The Deathwatch started at one end of the Highway, and the Battlesuits started a little way ahead.

We said for the sake of a fair game that, seeing as Leonidas had no jump pack, and the BS' was probably ditched in the pursuit, that the Tau battlesuits had sustained enough damage to cut off their jump packs.

The Ork Lootaz started out on the ground below the highway, and would have to climb a flight of stairs to get onto it.
If the Tau were quick enough, they'd be able to squeeze by the Orks and make it home with no trouble.
The Deathwatch weren't about to let that happen easily, though.

Leonidas once again had a missile launcher, this one salvaged along the way.
The BS was armed with a combi-bolter, underslung plasma gun.
We opted that, rather than weaving out way through the maze of abandoned vehicles, we would instead climb up and over the vehicles.
In the meantime, the Orks had become distracted in blowing up some of the oil barrels down at the side of the Highway.

We made good speed climbing over the vehicles, and even managed to fire off some pot shots at the Tau.
Leonidas obliterated a Chimera right next to one of the suits, causing it a decent amount of shrapnel damage, whilst the BS managed to get the shield of another down after a few shots.

Unfortunately, by the time we got near to the Tau, the Orks were up on the Highway and right in our path.

We decided, ultimately, that the BS (Me, if you hadn't already realised) would stay and deal with the Orks, leaving Leonidas' character to run on alone.

I took position atop a battered old Land Raider, and started to fire at the Orks as they surrounded the vehicle.
(These Orks were our other players, Karel, Fenrir, Wulfgar, and Angelion, each controlled two.)
Making a good start, the BS managed to take down two in the first turn of engagement, leaving a total of six left standing.
But I know you're more interested in Leonidas.

He jumped a few more vehicles over the course of the game, and even managed to down one of the battlesuits with a pot shot while the BS was picking bits of Ork off his Power Armour, but it wasn't enough.

As the game's end drew nigh, we saw that there was no way Leonidas would catch up to the Tau.
He opted for a different approach instead.

The Imperial Highway is supported by colossal struts jutting out of the ground, and at that point in time, the Tau were over one of those struts.
I won't go into detail, but what happened next is as follows:

Leonidas ran to the side of the Highway.
Leonidas jumped over.
Leonidas fired his missile launcher in mid air.
Leonidas passed his crits.
Leonidas blew a massive portion of the highway and sent two battlesuits and a metric fuck-ton of ammunitions supplies, along with two transports, plummeting to the ground, where they exploded.
Leonidas lands with minor injuries.

And that was the Imperial Highway.
