So...last night i got the first feel of the new CSM-army.
He had Daemon -allies also. Kharn, Khorne Lord, 2 x 8 Berserkers, champions. Forgefiend with Hades cannons, 2 x Landraider, 15 x cultists, Bloodthirster, 5 x plaque bearers , 6 x Flamers (I.HATE.THESE.DUDES.SO.MUCH)...
I had Farseer (runes, SS, Fortune, Guide,SS), Avatar (Warlord), Aegis+Quad,Dark Reapers x 4 + Exarch (crack shot) 2 x 5 Pathfinders, 9 DA´s+Exarch (dual,bladestorm), 9 DA´s+Exarch (dual,bladestorm) + WS (BL), Hornet (2xPL), 2 x WW´s (SL´s), Fire Dragons x 4 + Exarch (flamer) + WS (BL)...
2k and The Scouring, Vanguard -deployment...
We had extra objectives (both worth 1p) guarded by orcs, who shot everybody within 12 inches, but were fearless and didnt assault (our friend made the table and added some extra cheese, which tasted great).
On my side were 2,4 and 3 points of objectives, so assault was expected...
I got the first turn and set up on top of this oil refinery tower with DR´s + Aegis. Pathfinders held 2 points and 3 was on open board and 4 right behind the tower. First turn, WS´s MISSED both of the land raiders. He got the first blood, by blasting one of the WS´s from the table with Forgefiend and moved forward. 2nd turn got me ALL of the reserves, even the other Pathfider and DA´s -squads (so not needed). WW´s and Hornet outflanked from the quiet side and i was hoping to kill the Plaquebearers, but had to use 2 x WW´s, Hornet, Pathfinders, Quad ALL on Forgefiend untill it went down. Again WS MISSED his Landraider...On his turn all hell broke loose Kharn popped the other WS, so i had NO weapons within 30" to deal with the raiders...great...One WW got blown up, other lost one weapon, other squad got tangled in CC with 5 (!) PB´s for THE REST OF THE GAME...orcs killed more berserkers than i, so that tells the element of this game...only happy thing was the Avatar vs. Bloodthirster match, which Avatar nailed! He only failed to get behind the tower (one wound left) and was gunned down with simple bolter/heavybolter fire...Flamers are so annoying!!! My DR-squad was in the top of the tower and STILL got cooked (jump infantry + flaming...yee...greeeaaat, oh, no armor save...greaaat, oh no cover save...GRRAAAAAAAASFSDFSSE!!!)...this was a disaster...i lost in the end (after turn 6) 12-2...i had one WW-squad and one pathfinder-squad left...
I made few mistakes, but the lack of BL´s cost me the match. If i had at least one of those Landraiders popped in the first round, it would have been a whole new ballgame...
"Would have, could have, should have..." but i´m aching for some REMATCH!!!! :mad:
