AOS 2012 Meetup(I mean some CHAOS games I played this week)
Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2012 11:29 am
AKA the wandering ill thoughtout route march enlieu of tourney.
AKA 5 batreps 1 post (no girls)
Basically, with the we don't mono-event going off to mono-events, and everyone else faffing around RWI decided not to show, and then 11ish I wrang the northern lot to find that they were working and had meant to post something at some time.
Because are numbers were so iffy and cancelleriffic Eye of storm cancelled our event, Stunty got shirty and got us tables..
But the brummy lot put on a strong showing as did we.. and I brought CHAOS!! (as did 3 others actually).
A history of violence,
GAME#1 against duck tie guys smurfs (2flyer quad gun emplacement) abbaddons reroll for autocannons made sure nothing of his threatened me.. overkill. He played a good castle game, but it was run away with the ball (here you see my rat cultists running away with the priceless shrine to ancient GW monopose chaos lords)..so I had the ball safely tucked away in my end zone(just far away from anything that could hurt me) with an army betwixt us.
Chaos focus- Stood in front of him turn 1..scary army is scary and in your face.. (wall of pics.. I might edit in descriptions later).
It took a shedload of fire power to bring down his 5 terminators.. horrors, plas chosen, and my demon HQ no holding back.. to keep him stuck in his deployment zone.
GAME#2 Took on a combined force of stuntys flyer wing and klueless's nidzilla, talked my way out of victory by helping klueless remember rules like that he was able to rebuild his monsters, telling him what I might do (which meant he changed his plans..boo)and duck tie deciding the forces of chaos shouldn't win (he commited game Seppuku to make sure abbaddon got no glory),we all got excited and forgot chunks of stuff (e.g. I wondered why a flamer template barely scratched scarabs and only remembered why that was wrong 3 days later).
Chaos focus- nids and necrons have bugger all (CH) so there was no opportunity to upgrade anyone anywhere.
ALL IMAGES CAN BE FOUND HERE... (I got well confused.. I'd be taking saves on stuff that apparently had already died due to someone else rolling and whoah.. it was awesome.. but confusing.)
HAVE SOME RANDOMS
Then everyone went home vowing not to do this again.
GAME #3 Played stunty's flyerwing (awesome clarification that frog had been cheating saying they were av13) Stunty misreads warlord traits so that he can always reroll all 1s.. only remedy'd turn 4, by which point I only have abaddon left (who destroys a ghost ark, an annihilation barge, a command squad with awesome IC a triarch stalker.. then goes down.. Stunty was well peeved and the game carried on till the end of turn 7 just so that he could finally table me/kill abbadon with his entire focused army. (which got smaller turn by turn)
Chaos focus- everyone constantly telling me to let abaddon leave the cultists was a trap, I leave and they all regained their memorys and wandered back to a simple arable farm life immediately.
highlight for me was the storm lightning "its ok the internet says its rubbish".. hitting me with 7+ str 8 hits a turn from imotecks rain of "you can't see me!!" wiping out nearly a 5th of my army.
I STILL CAN'T HIT FLYERS????
ABaddon saving grace of all chaos chomping through most of a necron army.
Why do necron players take optimistic reading of rules when already most powerful codex.
#4 James guard diagonals grab the football.
Fun game chunk of tooing and froing, Abaddon leads mutants to the ball after horrors have deepstruck on it turn one to put all the pressure on him to come TOWARDS my khorne bikes.. Narrow win for me.- Unworthy offering dark apotheoisis of nothing everywhere.
(this is an image of end of turn 1 clicky clicky)
#5 James new blob guard, Lengthways crusade (3 mysetrious objectives 2 near him)
I got lucky all his plasma killed itself turn 1 (I crap you not, he had 6 guys die to overheats triggering 2 leadership tests), demons bang on (actually scattered to even BETTER place).. khorne bikes with jink in his lines turn 2.. made my first demon prince.. conceeded at the end of turn 2, he had 2 vendettas and a couple of heavy weapon squads. Overkill. (in retrospect during 1 turn I got my maths wrong and had 19 too many attacks, but it was all done at that point and 19 was a very small percentage of the khorne bucket) I was also prescient (having said his plas would miss, by also) using precision shots from my biker sergants bolters to take down the commisar on the way in...yummy.
List by end of game 6
FUTURE DIRECTION.
Everyone says the demons contingent are awesome..Everyone says the bikes are awesome, (although LH wants me to find 40 points to give them furious charge and reroll charge range) the cultists have constantly held the core of the game together and have only fled once (when I listened to others)..Lh wants me to drop the whole blob base concept.. I think he’s scared.
People generally want me to take 4 lascannon havocs instead of tri las.. but I can’t find the points..Dropping abbaddon meant I needed to invest in veterans..thats alright.
Lots of games people just kept refusing challeneges unless it was abbadon and they had the chance of nerfing him through spawnage.
I have no idea about my CSM troops, I need at the very least a LD10 termie armour sorcerer (preferably lord for fearless).. I need at least 20 meq..its a sticky wicket.. I welcome others views (just plague marines all the time? they are quite good this edition..they just suck at challenges)
