Why I Love Scouts

[Tybrus]

3 Games with Scouts (3 Wins)

 

Always Takes ALL MELTABOMBS (first off if you want Meltabombs for scounts you HAVE to pay for all the scouts, they are NOT Wolf Guard). Second I always take a full 10 man pack with a wolf guard pack leader with T-hamer and Combi-Multi.. They have full Kit, 2 Powerweapons or Pistols (Depends on game or if its all comers) and Marked scout! Expensive YES! Worth it, YES! Have you ever seen the Dirty Dozen? Nuff said! I will post some pics for you all as my pack is classic, but all that a side. The Kill Tally for my Pack is as Follows...

VS: Guard 3000 Pts (This was my all time fav)

 

This one was so classic it gets a mini battle report. When I play my friends, we don't show each other our lists, we allow secrets, reserves to kept from view until the are the table ect. We prefere story based games and play for fun, more then anything else. So My friend has been playing guard for a while, and is starting to get the hang of his army. He was switching from ultras, so took some getting used to. He had finlly got enough for a BIG 3k game. So I give him full control of the table.

 

He sets up a strong fortress in the cornor of the table I have like 4 of the bastions and some custom multi kit ones made and a ton of armorcast trench terrain so he had it all set up and rip with guard. I had just made my drop pods that came with my battle forces, and I had 3 Gatoride Bottles Ready as "Counts as" to finish out my force!

 

Long story short the wolves drop into his lines and all hell breaks lose, he gives me a -1 on reserve rolls so my extra troops arn't landing and my first 3 packs are fully dug in at this point. He is moving in with these huge 50 troop mobs to eat up my packs and was picking apart the others in the open with heavy weapons fire. Just as My reserve pods (2 of them) come in and it looks like I might get some control again of the table he starts laughing as his next turn comes around. I'm like ok what have you got? He had just gotten off Ebay 3 new Leman Russ Tanks, and had taken a new guard thing that let him bring them in on a flank. So my wolves that had just gotten a a hold had 3 new battle tanks roll up their arse battle cannons and pie plates falling, las cannon hell breaking lose, and on top of the he had a New Vendettea loaded with Stormtroopers up flying CAP! So The tanks Roll out in Classic V With the lead tank some Plasma Something and at the Tail of the V is the Vendetta. Ok so right now my budy is gloating, and laughing and he kills off one of my weak packs with pie plates, and can't get to the others as they still have a few guard let to finish off in hand to hand. So he just moved up and waited. But I am on the other side of the table from him with ALOT of Open ground to cover, and my 2 packs who will be free in my turn are armed with Meltaguns, and WG with T hammer's all over them well over 40" away from this new problem. We are also playing a game where if I don't kill him off to a man I lose the game, which sounds hard, but its really if I didn't crush the head of the snake, then more guard would show up and kill more and it didn't matter wolves = Lost!. So anyway its all built up right, now mind you this is my first game using my scouts too, so he had not seen them either. He knew all my pods where in play and thought I was done on reserves. as all my preexplained gatoraid bottoles were expended!!! I get my scouts and roll for OBEL... I Roll a 4, all I need...

 

The Scouts follow right in behind the tanks that moved in and engulfed the rear of the coulum in a pressed edge moon. {> So that the Scouts are thicker on the flanks and at max coherency in the middle. This is important for my plan to have worked and it did. Scouts Fire Into The Bird with Combi Melta, Meltagun, and Bolt Pistols. Bird goes POP and little Men fall from the Sky and Land in the Middle of the tanks. YOu see where this is Going yet? Well as you can charge the unit that your fired at its transport, I declare my charge on the troopers, but those darn tanks are in the way of 6 of my 10 troops. However, my 2 power weapon, my MOTW, and my WG with T hammer happen to be capping the T on the end of the tanks V formation, which makes them the only troops that can get to the 10 stormtroopers. My other 4 WG use MeltaBombs on the Sqd of Russ that they Co-Charge on the way to the target.

 

So Picture this John woo Style because the turn they show up the walk right in behind this force of 3 Russ's 1 Vendetta, and 1 Sqd of Stormtroopers...

 

Melta's kill Vendetta

Men fall out, before they hit the ground my MOTW (Which is a scout with 2 chain axes) gets his 6+1 attacks his PW wielding frields hit with 8 attacks the damn WG didn't get a chance to even get a kill! The 4 Wolf Guard on the side come running up slapin limpit charges to the tanks and dive into cover as all three tanks explode!!!!!!

 

Then to top it all of, as if written for a script they get to consal move after killing the Glory boys and roll a 6!!!!!!! Which they use to charge out howling at their wolf brothers!!!

 

Pictures to come next....

lol EPICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

 

so what happened to the scouts at the end of the 3000 point game ?

[Tybrus]

I regret to inform you that they were killed by friendly fire...

 

 

 

:)

 

 

Um... I don't get the question that was the end of the game, well mostly the 2 remaining pod squads were still in good shape and the scouts were untouched, all he had left were a few scattered guard squads and 1 officer I think, he didn't want to play it out and asked that we just pic it up after that.

 

Me... I took the lads home toasted a Ale to Russ and put them on the front of the shelf and used them in my list the next game which was the afore mentioned 2000 guard game...
