And did i get creamed or did i get creamed...i.got.tabled...Damn...
It was 1750p and we used the rules i laid out earlier. We left out the minefield. I took Re-roll to wound and Icarus on my bunker, CSM (with Daemon allies) opponent took none of the extras.
This was ruffly my army (don´t have the list and still devastated ):
Avatar (Warlord)
Autarch (Jump,Mandib.,Fusion Gun) joined by 5 x Swooping Hawks
5 x FD´s + WS (tlBL,Spirit Stones)
2 x 3 WW´s (2xSL)
Hornet (2xSL)
Storm Guardians x 10 (2 x Flamer)
2 x 3 Guardian Jetbikes
9 x DA + Exarch (PM+SS+Bladestorm) + WS (tlBL,Spirit Stones)
2 x DR + Exarch (CS) in a bunker
CSM/Daemons
Nurgle lord on a bike (WL,firebrand and yadayadayada) + 4 x biker
Heldrake
Predator with lascannons
2 x 10 cultists
2 x daemon princes
nurglings? (nurgle troop)
8 x flamers (de-vas-ta-ting against anything!)
Devastator
i might forget something, but, hey, i lost BIG time
I outflanked the WW´s, Hornet and Deep Struck the SH´s (damn it! i forgot the grenades!).
First turn was uneventful, took a shot with the Icarus to the bunker, didn´t penetrate. Moved forward. On his turn he moved forward and shot potshots, took a hull point or two away from WS´s.
Second turn I got all except one WW´s in. Blew away the Devastator, shot and moved back a little, trying to avoid the daemon prince. In his turn i Intercepted with Icarus and his another daemon prince took a wound. His flamers got misplaced (thank god) and i put them in the furthest cornerHeldrake came in an moved forward, Vector struck my Hornet away. His Predator shook my WS (with FD´s).
Third turn This was my best turn, and i thought i had it good...My Avatar and DR´s killed the Daemon price (who had the wound), and my WS (with a snapshot any ways) shot down and blew up the Heldrake!!AWESOME!!! I shuffled the bikes around and moved my DA´s closer to the middle.Autarch and the winged elfs killed few cultists and slew them in CC and they got wiped out. On his turn he moved in closer, killed two WW´s with a daemon prince, but failed the charge. Bikes killed two Guardian Jetbikes, but their morale held. Nurglings charged the SH´s and killed all but the Autarch who´s mrale broke (PERFECT!) and he got a away and rallied on the next turn.
Fourth turn Last of the WW´s came in and tried to thin down the bikes, but only one fell. Jetbike boosted forward, but then my DA´s ride got stuck in the middle of the Skull temple in the center of the table (we play it as difficult terrain). I put the Storm Guardians in the bunker and the DR´s came out to face the Bikers and the Daemon prince. Icarus hit the bunker, but failed...again...then it was his turn...flamers wrecked the immobilized WS and my DA´s got out. The Daemon prince + Lord&Bikes wrecked the WW´s. I just hate torrent flamers...
Fifth turn DA´s and the Guardian jet bikes shot everything to the flamers, but only killed two. FD´s came out and shot two wounds to the daemon prince, ride shot and missed the Predator. DR´s shot but didn't manage to wound any one. Avatar moved closer to the Lord&Bikes. HERE`S THE REASON FOR THE LOSS...i had a brain fart and decided to assault the flamers and the Bikes were a bye bye (why you dumb f***!) Avatar needed 3" for a charge and i rolled snake eyes....on his turn everything except the Guardians in a bunker and Avatar (now with a wound were killed)
Sixth turn I flamed the daemon prince closing in, failed. I shot the a bike, failed. His turn...he blew up the bunker, killed the Guardians and left Avatar with one wound. In the end, i slew his Warlord (2p), but got cooked by the flamers and thus got tabled...
But the mission was great! No First Blood really pushes you to engage!
Oh, the Autarch got couple of Haywire grenade hit´s on the Bunker, but only glanced before Nurgle claimed him...
Only changes we decided to make are:
- No Minefield
- I´ll have to check the points for the Bunker upgrades, fe. Re-roll to wound is great, but it doesn´t work against vehicles, so i´m thinking something, that´ll do both, but costs more.
- The Deployment could be either Long edges or Short edges (fe. 1-3 and 4-6)
Little tweaking, and it´ll be a AWESOME mission!
If you try it, plead gimme feedback, so i´ll see more angles to it...
