So once again I used the new FLGS Learn to Play/Combat Patrol day to teach another vic… player how to play via Combat Patrol. They took Strike Force Octavius so instead of using my newly completed Medusan Redoubt I used the Vanghast Swarm to go classic mode. 

Medusan Redoubt (IF edition)

I split the termaguants up, had the barbguants and a termaguant unit hold home while the rest readied to surge forward. Opponent placed the terminators with the captain in reserve with the infernus and librarian near their home objective. I got first turn and surged forward, they did overwatch on my prime, only managing to do a few wounds. After some fire from the barb and termaguants killing two infernus, the prime and leapers (who had started at a forward position) pounced and wiped the squad out. The librarian came around the corner and after lack luster shooting, charged the prime and killed it. Figured I play a little so I backed the leapers to another objective as the psychophage came forward. The phlegm did nothing and I failed to make the short charge to the librarian. The librarian moved forward towards the forward termagaunts, this time the phlegm did a minor wound on the librarian who then killed a few guants via his storm bolter and caused a wound on the psychophage with a mind bullet. 

First strike melee

Fast food?

The captain and his terminators arrived, dropping in my back line. They fired and killed a few more of the guants the librarian shot at. They them charged in to squad guarding my home objective. The librarian tried to charge the giants he was targeting, but the casualties opened up the charge distance and he failed to get the extra distance. The captain and terminators of course murdered the guants, which I Teeming Broods a near full (9) unit into reserve. They arrived just off my opponent’s home objective. I focused fire on the terminators, after all the fire only wounding 1, no kills. The newly arrived guants managed to charge into librarian, spanning over his home objective, the psychophage almost failed to charge the librarian from near point blank range. It feed well, eating the librarian whole.  My opponent was so far on VP at his point we were going to call it after the turn, which they had their final unit split fire to try and kill as much as possible and then was in position to charge the psychophage. Unfortunately they failed both charge rolls and game was called.

Beating on the little guys.

My opponent at least had fun and learn a few things. They were looking at starting orks, so I guess I better get to work on the ork CP as my opponent the prior week also is starting orks. 

Hopefully I’ll be able to test out the Medusan Redoubt this week. 

The berserkers for the Votann should be arriving this week, but I want to fix the Inceptors for my UM and finish Mordekai’s Judgement. Once that is done then I’ll get to work on the berserkers.
