Finally had my 1st game of 5th ed..

[Godhead]

It was a 2k game vs Daemon Hunters/Witch Hunters.

 

I need some long tooth advice.

 

The game ended in a draw.

 

My list basically went like this

WGBL AC/TDA/FB

Rune Priest TDA/FB/SB

5 WGBG 2 AC/3 stormbolters all had fists 2 had chain fists.

 

7 GH +1 WGPL bolters rhino

7 GH +1 WGPL bolters rhino

 

11 BC 3 pw, +1 WGPL pfist

 

Iron Priest servo arm, belt of russ

 

LRC

 

Ven Dread, AC/ML

2 attack bikes MM

 

 

Honestly, his seraphin and his GKPA and GKTDA ate my blood claws and Grey hunters up.

 

The game ended in a draw. It was seize and control and pitch battle. There were 3 objectives. At the end I owned one objective (I won the fight in the middle and lost the left flank with no scoring units to hold the right side objective)

 

I finished the game with 1 attack bike which was contesting the right Objective. One intact GH squad and my WGBL with Body guard and the runepriest all of which were sitting firmly in cover on the middle objective.

 

Every thing else was owned. His dang Eversor assasin glanced my LR and immobilised it :huh: so my bloodclaws unloaded, and killed him, but he blew up and took a few with him. Then I got shot up by GKTDA and GKPA and Inq storm troopers. Then charged by GK's and two inquisitoral assassins. They had a fair enough showing, but just crumpled to the Nemesis force weapons.

 

The WGBL and his retinue was my star performers along with my 2nd GH pack rapid firing everything to oblivion.

 

What I need is advice from some sons of russ who are long in the tooth.

 

I really felt like I needed more than 3 troops in order to adequately cover my scoring needs. I also had wanted to maybe make room for a vindicator and or a Long fangs pack with PCs. 3+ armor saves came through for him with his seraphins and his GKPA. I also think I would like to take mostly pw on the wolfguard with the WGBL. (Probably only 2 chainfists).

 

Please help a new pup out.

I am about to leave for a class soon, but I play against sisters a LOT, I'll read this later and give an input. :cuss

 

From just a quick glance though, it seems like there was very few sisters and more daemonhunters on the field? Could you post a list?

 

I always take plasma cannons against sisters and daemonhunters, even on my ven. dread. The problem comes when they use faith points to make their saves invulnerable.

 

The GKPA aren't that big of a fuss in HtH, the GKTDA are though, so those are your first priority with your AP2 and AP1 weaponry.

 

Did he use any vehicles? being sisters they usually have lots of rhinos, again a list would be needed.
