Last song of the Exterminator


Nadir

Recommended Posts

I want to play last time with mine good ol' codex.

It was 2k pts. game against the Eldars.

I have:

Leman Russ Exterminator - as a main dish (2x h. bolters +lasscannon on the hull)

Crusader filled with 14 Blood Claws (2x power fists) and a Wolf Priest

Predator Destructor (2x lasscannons)

4x Scouts with melta, and bombs

Rune Priests with lighting claws and auspex

Venerable Drednaught - twin lass

Alpha team 10x Gray Hunters with plasma gun and bolters in Rhino

Beta team 10x Gray Hunters with melta gun, 2x plasma pistols and power weapon in Rhino

Omega team 6x Grey Hunters in Rhino

 

It was a Capture and Control mission/ Dawn of war type.

 

Both of mine tanks (LRE and Pred) moved on the right side with a rhino with team Beta. There were already Wolves from Omega team who watching over one of the objectives with RP

Crusader, Dread, and Alpha team rushed onto the enemy lines to the center of the table (to take over enemys objective).

 

Making long story short. Scouts deastroy Fire Prism main weapon at turn 2 (I love OBEL). When racked by a shuriken fire of the full Dire Avengers squad and a War Walker armed with star cannons (only 2 scouts killed), they maneged to deastroy a walker, and survived as a unit.

Blood Claws with Wolf Priest and the Land Rider killed whole squad of pathfinders, 5 Wraithguards and scorpion unit. After that they have capture an objective and hold it till the end of the game.

 

And last but not least: Leman Russ Exterminator make mess from the Warp Spiders with Exarch and Autarch, half of Fire Dragons unit, another Pathfinder unit, and a War Walker. And become the King of the day. Mostly because mine opponent stupidly attack tank with his Spiders.

 

Why, oh why they are taking this tank from us! Sure, I was using the Exterminator only a few times, but still...

 

O, and I won that game. My last game on the old Space Wolves rules.

Next time: new strategy, new rules, and no old tank:(

The Exterminator was good, but a twin-linked autocannon is no substiute for for an Ordenance Gun. It was always good as a bullet magnet though.

Yup, I will miss them too. Tough and always ready to stand and take a beating and still dish out the damage.
