LPetersson Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Battle Report: 2k Wolves versus Ulthwé (and Slaanesh went: nom nom nom) Points: 1500 Mission: Seize Ground (3 Objectives) Deployment: Pitched Battle First turn goes to the mighty Wolf Lord Lars "The Great Devourer" Petersson The Forces: Space Wolves - Land Raider Redeemer (Loge)/Wolf Guard Battle Leader/11xBlood Claws, Venerable Dreadnought (Skwisgar Axe-Wielder),9 Grey Hunters/Wolf Guard Pack Leader/Rhino, Predator/Heavy bolter, 2xLand speeders/Multi Melta, Land Speeders/Heavy Bolters - 1498 points Slaanesh Chaos Marines - Daemon Prince, Sorceror/Raptors, 4xTermies, 2xVindicators, 10xChaos Marins, 5xChaos Marines, 5xChaos Marines (I think) SW First turn: It's a bit hard to see (Apologies, but I forgot my camera at home and had to rely on the rubbish phone camera I had available) From left to right: Land speeders with MM and HB move to be on the other side of the trees. Rhino cruise ahead. Predator rotate slightly and Loge STUPIDLY STUPIDLY STUPIDLY stay put and fire so the enemy can come to me. That was my one big mistake. I should have moved forward at cruise speed. Far right LS with MM move forwards. Skwisgar Axe-Wielder brings death from above in his drop pod. Skwisgars MultiMelta takes out the main cannon of one vindicator, and amusingly the drop pod block the passage the Slaanesh player (Chris) expected to use... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3354/3270078375_04dd3b65db_o.jpg A few casualties from shooting, but nothing major... Slaanesh's turn: Both Vindis move to the right, Raptors and Daemon prince fly down towards me. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3303/3270078431_1bd67ab313_o.jpg Chaos marines move backwards to shoot at Skwisgar from behind: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3469/3270900244_8c48de45a3_o.jpg Loge is stunned by the remaining Vindi for a turn, as is Skwisgar. The LS/MM on the far right is destroyed. SW Turn 2: Rhino/GH, LS/MM and LS/HB power ahead to get to the oathbreakers: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3379/3270078551_0ba5cdaf53_o.jpghttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3356/3270078683_007775eebf_o.jpg Again, lots of shooting with a few casualties mongst the traitor marines, but nothing major. Loge moves forwards to spray fire on the Raptors on the little platform. Slaanesh turn 2: Raptors strike back and destroy Loge: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3307/3270078753_86850746b9_o.jpghttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3444/3270900572_da48393ef5_o.jpg Vindi scatter all the way to hell... Sonic Blaster takes out 4 Blood Claws. Raptors assault and kills a few more, and take plenty of wounds back. BCs loose combat but passes morale test. SW Turn 3: Wolf Scouts finally arrive and destroy the remaining Vindi. Skwisgar moves forwards and flames some of the chaos marines in the tower. Predator kills more chaos marines in the tower. Grey Hunters/WGPL disembark from the immobilised Rhino and assault the Chaos marines. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3356/3270078683_007775eebf_o.jpg Slaanesh turn 3: Daemon Prince assaults Predator and stuns it. Sorceror slaughters the rest of the blood claws leaving only the WGBL. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3051/3270900650_51baa3b5a9_o.jpg Terminators appear from reserves and open fire on Grey Hunters. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3353/3270900712_045a0f8b45_o.jpg(013)" SW Turn 4: Grey hunters, Wolf Scouts and Skwisgar all open fire on Termies killing two. Grey Hunters and Wolf Scouts assaults and kill the last two (Barely) WGBL is slaughetered by the sorceror. Skwisgar moves to the tower and kills off the marines at the top. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3407/3270079037_46c02e8db6_o.jpg(015)" Rest of the match consisted of the sorceror running away and getting gunned down, daemon prince got shot to pieces as was the last remaining chaos marine. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3367/3270079189_abf169c7f1_o.jpg(017)" It was a shockingly closely contested game, and in the end it was the last few rolls that made it a victory for the Emperor rather than a draw at best. The game was actually 6 turns for both sides, but somewhere I screwed up with the picture taking, hence why it got condensed into 4 turns :-/ I didn't know what to expect from the chaos marines and I suffered for it. My Land Raider doing nothing the first turn, 2nd turn and then getting blown up annoyed me, but it didn't surprise me. I had a solid plan which mostly went according to plan. Unfortunately I froze to begin with where I should have been aggressive from the outset. My opponents big mistake was that he forogt his termies in reserve until turn 3 or 4, but by that point the damage was done... Before the game my opponent and I shared army lists and he asked if I'd mind playing against a double lash list and I said 'yeah, no worries'. If a list is legal I'll play against it :-D As it happens, it's limited what lash can do if there are no troops on the table :-D Later on it hurt me a bit, but not too badly... On one hand, at the end I had some great rolls, but by the great benevolent Emperor, I have never seen anyone roll so many 'hits' on the scatter die as this chap so I think it all evened out. I wish I could claim to have won thanks to great generalship, but this time it was also down to luck... something I'm not very happy about...

Lord Howland Greywolf Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 You know the rules, "trust to luck, a fully charged las pistol and an imaculate sence of style to see you through. And if that fails a short fuse grenade'll do it." Nice win though.

dezul Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 yeah was a really fun game! i thoght it was done for at the start but managed to bring it back around to contest it at the end! on a side note, troops can rapid fire and move so deep striking termies can shoot two plasma shots at short range. wouldnt have won the game, but watch out for deep striking chaos termies in the future :P should have a rematch some time soon. dezul.

Losman Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Great man, glad to hear your wolves won. I am facing a double lash list soon also and will be using the same strategy (i.e. not showing my troops faces until I can run out of my vehicles and assault, am forced out from a wrecked vehicle, or drop his princes from las/melta/ass can shots).
