150pt HQ BBQ

[Bedroom General]

Here is an idea, What is the best HQ you can build for a death match.

HQ
Can't be anything other than a "Normal" member of the army. By that I mean no Avatar, Daemon Prince etc.
And of course, no special characters!
Maximum points 150

My boy....
Chaos lord
Tactical Dreadnaught Armour
Twin Lightning Claws
Mark of Nurgle

Tasty:D

[The Twilight Fade]

150 Points of potentially unkillable death machine (lol)!!

Necron Lord
Res Orb
WarScythe

Strike him down and he stands back up again and ignores invulnerable saves to boot :)

[celestialatc]

Man, 150 points...Making it hard for the Grey Knight players huh?

Fine, I will bring a normal Brother-Captain...

Even with-out upgrades he has:

Terminator Armor
3 force weapon attacks
4++ against shooting and 3++ in CC
Hammerhands!

[Old_Paladin]

Ork Warboss, with:
power klaw
attack squig
cybork body
warbike

[Lord Sandwich]

Foolish mortals.

Archon
shadowfield
husk blade
combat drugs
soul-trap

Insta-Death machine! :D

[Root]

IG Company Commander with plasma pistol and power sword. Command Squad with 4 veterans with meltaguns. I can smell the burning Instant Death...

[wittdooley]

Rush Limbaugh
His Mouth
Conservative Righteousness
Really Shiny Head

Your move, friends.

[Hive Mind]

You know, you could get 16 HQ's and run a little head-to-head tournament right here in the thread. Loser gets knocked out (literally) while the winner advances to the next round...

My effort

Tyranid Prime (as it's the only HQ under 150pts)
Lash Whip and Bonesword
Rending Claws
Adrenal Glands

105pts

Probably dead in round one, lol

[Charistoph]

Rush Limbaugh
His Mouth
Conservative Righteousness
Really Shiny Head

Your move, friends.

Hey, No Special Characters!

That, and leave politics out of this, we're talking about a game, here!

[Hive Mind]

If the Bedroom General doesn't mind me hijacking his idea... I'm kind of up for running a 16 HQ deathmatch tournament.

What say you BG?

[doom-kitten]

*Sniffle* no SC eh damn well um *flicks through 'codex', canoness uhhhh no, Confessor...big time no, priest ahahahahahahahahaha* Damn, looks like I don't get to play :p

Unless people want a punching bag to warm up their IC's.

[Slug]

Lord Commissar
Plasma pistol
Power weapon
Chimera
145 points

[doom-kitten]

A chimera? lol what a way to play, drive around shooting at them...wait a second

Priest
Immolator
TWL MM

125 pts

Just because the preisty can have a big chainsaw to make him feel like a champ.

Eviscerator 25

[Lord Sandwich]

I would also be up for a 16-way fight to the death! Let's do it.

[Luke Licens]

I'm so in!

Shas'o
Jetpack Jump Infantry

WS 4; BS 5; S 5; T 4; W 4; I 3; A 4; Ld 10; Sv 2+/4++

Missile Pod (36" Str 7, AP 4, Assault 2)
Shield Generator (4++ save)
Vectored Retro Thrusters (Hit & Run)
Stimulant Injector (Feel No Pain)
Iridium Armor (2+ save, Jetpack assault move reduced to 1d6)
Hard-wired Blacksun Filter (double Night Fight distances)

150 pts

[Old_Paladin]

I'd be up for a 16 way too.

Here's a dice rolling website that I find quite good (to make sure no one is using 'loaded dice'):
http://invisiblecastle.com/

We'll probably need some ground rules; like how far away from each other the characters start, who gets first turn, etc.


Arena of Death Entries:
1) Hive Mind - Warrior Prime
2) Lord Sandwich - Archon
3) Old Paladin - Ork Warboss
4) Luke Licens - Shas'o

[Uncle Nutsy]

archon
blaster
ec whip
shadowfield
ghostplate armour
soul-trap

under cost and people already hate me for this. This should be fun!

[Hive Mind]

I'd kind of like Bedroom General to chime in first. I'd feel wrong just running with their idea unless they were ok with it.

As for rules, I thought that we could use the Warhammer Duel of Champions rules that appeared in WD a couple of months back, both count as charging in the first round of combat etc etc...

But then that doesn't allow for any kind of shooting, which means that the Tau are ****ed, frankly.

Suggestions?

[Lord Sandwich]

I'd recommend we use a system similar to the Arena of Death used on the B&C boards. There was one version that worked something like:

contestants set up 24" apart
Contestants may move in a straight line, up to 6" forward and 2" backward
Shooting allowed as normal
Combat as normal

This allows for shooting to get a good chance in, though I might suggest dropping the starting positions down to 18" because I can imagine that with the jetpack move the Tau could quite easily kite most of us to doom.

[daboarder]

Hive, mind check out the arena of death over on BnC same principle but they have all the limitations and what not sorted out already. of course its 3+ only but having one here for any army would be cool, I'd throw down for it.

[JxKxR]

Wait had to edit this I don't think I made a lick of sense. :o sorry about that.

[celestialatc]

Foolish mortals.

Archon
shadowfield
husk blade
combat drugs
soul-trap

Insta-Death machine! :D

Man, I would not want to meet this dude in a dark alley unless my parents are with me....and so he can kill them and I can become Batman or something.

[Pendragon38]

Im up for a little HQ bbq. My choice is my Master of the Forge,100pts with
conversion beamer 20pts
digital weapons 10pts
power sword 15pts
total is 145pts

[Bedroom General]

Exactly what I was about to say :p

None better my friends, none better.

[Night System]

Chaos Lord, Mark of Slaanesh, Daemon Weapon, Plasma Pistol - 150pts

4+D6 attacks on the charge at initiative 6, all of which cause instant death.

Problem?

[daboarder]

^ that one right there is one of the most brutal builds for under 150 points.

The old jump canoness used to give it a run for its money but she's dead.

[isotope99]

Tzeentch herald
Chariot
Bolt of tzeentch
Master of sorcery
Soul devourer
BOON OF MUTATION (HAHAHAHA :D)

150 points

[Lord Sandwich]

Chaos Lord, Mark of Slaanesh, Daemon Weapon, Plasma Pistol - 150pts

4+D6 attacks on the charge at initiative 6, all of which cause instant death.

Problem?

Initiative 6? How adorable.

[Hive Mind]

Ok, thanks BG. So does anyone have any objection to me running this?

I'll go over to B&C to have a look at the arena of death. I was thinking of using Vassal and then posting screenshots in a dedicated thread here because there's no room for any jiggerypokery with Vassal, everyone can see exactly what's happened.

[Night System]

Hey it beats most HQ choices, except Eldar.... :(
But hey, thats why i brought a plasma pistol :D

Vassal is fine by me, its making sure everyone has the up to date version that is the problem... :rolleyes:

[Hive Mind]

Oh, you are talking about running it interactively? Hmmm. I hadn't considered that. I was just going to set up the matches and then fight them myself, then post the results and the screenshots to illustrate what happened.

[Hive Mind]

After reading the B&C thread with the rules, they ran it the same way I was imagining it too.

So effectively you guys would enter your HQs and then I'd do everything else. I think the doctrine of impartiality would dictate that I don't enter a participant.

[Hive Mind]

Also, thoughts on psychic powers? The B&C rules say that minor psychic powers can be used but personally I'm leaning towards no powers outside of the assault phase.

Thoughts?

EDIT - by "no powers outside of the assault phase" I mean that if a psychic power is used in any phase other than assault, it can't be used.

[Lord Sandwich]

I would allow powers like Null Zone to still be used. After all, they'll be affecting the assault phase. No psy-shooting though, or psy-movement.
