4 tunes of war

[ruffian4]

We finally had our first full-size game (3000 points) at TWAT hq.

The Blood Angels (debuting the new dex) vs a rag-tag of chaosy stuff.

Good game, but odd at times.

I thought the 7 strong termie assault squad, 5x lc's + 2x th's +ss were going to be tough opposition, but they were mental!
They poured out of a crusader and personally ate ...

5 bikers, inc pf champ.
4 'zerkers, inc pf champ.
6 slaaneshi termies inc 2x champs with lc's and a cf.
With no loss.

They then were on the end of a drive by, 10 csm's with 2x plasma guns, 1 dead.
Termies then charge chaos marines, kill all of them, but take 4 casualties from ordinary attacks!

The game featured a doomed performance from possibly the unluckiest jp assault squad ever.
They came in from reserve and leapt at a squad of 'zerkers (that had been whittled down to 2 ordinary guys) and a rhino.

The rhino escaped unscathed, 1 'zerker bit the dust.
2 assault marines die and they flee.
They land right next to his last troops, guarding the objective, in a wood and start dropping to dangerous terrain.

The remaining marines, in a perfect line, along with the afore mentioned troops, just as 2 doom sirens open up, leaving 1 left who left the table post-haste.

Bloodangels are good, not guard good.. but wee all over chaos.There is a reason why WS general is full of chaos players using wolf or BA codex as counts as.
That the termies took any regular wounds shows that they didn't have a termie priest hanging out with them (making int 5 lightning claws and 2+ then 4+ against conventional weapons).
Good kicking ass with flamer templates..did dude not run to minimise perfect blossom?

[ruffian4]

No, but it was game no1 for him (caspar) for nearly a year, with a new codex to boot.

We dropped so many clangers, it was untrue, including a truly mammoth brain hits wall moment as we stood around literally for a week trying to figure out wound allocation on a simple death company.

Lack of games + alcohol + general stupidity = heady mix of failure.

As you know, I bemoan the loss of a chaos dex but I wouldn't counts as from space morons, just seems, urgh, icky (though, still might have a go at the bike armada).

That's a point, debued 2 daemon weapon, winged lords along for the ride with the sonics in rhinos.
Quite a shock factor when the predictable rush/drive by splits at weird speeds.

Sounds very like my back in the day libby with avenger with combat squadded flamer and combi flamer thingyma jobby.
Props for trying such sub optimal tosh and making it into something

It was nearly the sub-op, I almost took 2x havoks, as they looked so sad and unappreciated.

I ended up with ...

2x lords, daemon weapon, wings.

2x10 csm, 2x plasma, champ for possession, in rhino's.

2x5 noise marines, pw + siren champ, 4x blasters, in rhino's.

2x8 berzerkers, champ fist.

6x slaaneshi termies, 2x lc 1x cf.

2x5 bikes, each 2xplasma's and fist champs.

2x3 oblits.

1x defiler, auto-cannon + flamer.

From memory, he had ...

Chaplain, j pack.

5 lc, 2 th+ss termies in crusader.

12x death comp, 2x fists jump packs.

3x tac squads, missile launcher combat squaded into fire bases and in rhino's.

3x attack bikes, multi-meltas.

10x assault marines, 2x plasma.

Pred annihilator.

Vindicator.
