Utsujin Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 His list. Nurgle prince, warptime, wings Tzeench prince, warptime, wings 4 units of 7 plague marines, 2 units with meltas, 1 unit with plasmas, 1 unit with flamers. All had rhinos with combis same as the squad they carried. I dont remember if the champs had PF or not. 2 units of 3 terminators. 1 had a reaper autocannon 1 chaos pred, lascannon sponsons, autocannon top. 2 chaos dakka preds. He had made some mistakes regarding his initial setup.. as in all had lascannons and was way over points, so we adjusted. My list... I used my 3rd company Iron Angels, using the BA dex.. of course. reclusiarch, jump pack reclusiarch, jump pack 4 units of 10 assault marines, 2 meltas, fist. 4 sanguine priests, jump pack, power weapons, 10 vanguard vets 2 had a lightning claw 2 had a power weapon sarge had a power fist and melta bombs. He rolled annihilation, I rolled dawn of war.. yay. Patch of trees to the bottom left, huge patch on hill in middle. Patch of trees on the right side, upper middle, and upper left. Almost like the 5 on a dice. Big enough to hide vehicles in. Hills dont count as dt, but obscure. He rolled first, and put a unit with his melta gun nurglings in a forest and his nurgle demon prince on the edge of it. I deploy my assault squad roughly middle of the board behind the patch of trees. My other assault squad is up far, on the left of the patch of trees. I have my chappy with my right assault squad. His first turn, he brings on his dakka preds on the right between the patches of trees and parks them there. He brings his tzeench prince on about the middle of the board, and his 3 rhinos with plague marines to the left of that, moving full 12. He parks his las/ac pred on the left side of the board, setting up fire lanes. He moves up his demon prince, thinking I'm going to assault it with my chappy and the squad on the right. My first turn I move up my assault squad on the right a bit, and my other assault squad up only a couple inches. Only one assault squad succumbs to the Red Thirst. I bring up my assault squads 2 deep 5 wide. My sanguine priests are behind the middle assault squad, one went right to the chappys squad. My other chappy went up to join the middle assault squad, along with a priest. Another assault squad started moving toward the middle and my vanguard vets stayed behind it all, waiting to intercept the terminators with 1 priest being between one assault squad, and my VV squad. (If I was up against guard.. I'd probably have lost by now.. lol, but I want things to be bloody as hell) His second turn, he moves up one of his nurgle rhinos along with his tzeench prince. One squad of terminators comes in with the reaper autocannon and doesn't scatter, he puts it in the middle other side of forest. He moves his DP within charge range incase I charge the terminators. His shooting was poor, his lascannons kill nothing, his reaper autocannon kills nothing, his dakka preds kill nothing.. I love sanguine priests. My second turn, I move my middle assault squad up with the chappy, getting ready to assault the tzeench prince and his rhino. It has his melta guys in it I think. My right squad with the other chappy moves and is easily in assault range of the nurgle prince. One assault squad with a priest by the forest moves and gets ready to assault the terminators, and the last assault squad gets ready to move left and get that lascannon pred. My shooting phase, I see my top assault squad blow off the combi melta off the rhino. My right assault squad fails with their melta guns against the gross prince. My middle assault squad kills a termie with shooting. My assault squad is in a huge line.. big mistake so i cant get all in b2b contact, but I manage it. In combat, my top assault squad, does 2 wounds to the tzeench prince, from my regular guys, my chappy whiffs. He didnt have warptime, he failed it. My assault marines destroy the other combi bolter off the rhino. Right combat. My other assault squad with chappy My chappy does 1 wound, and his Nurgle prince did 1 attack to my chappy, passing my invul, and killed 3 assault marines. I'm fearless so I pass all my saves. My other assault marines attack back at same initiative, and do 1 more wounds to his nurgle prince, regardless of the high toughness. My power fist slams him in the face and does another wound. He has 1 left. I do no damage to his terminators, but he kills 1 assault marine in return. His top of third turn. His other terminators come in, and sit right in front of his rhinos. His chaos las predator finally shoots and kills 2 vanguard vets. His dakka preds kill one, I pass morale on 5. He moves his 2 rhinos with other plague marines back... knowing I'll kill his tzeench prince soon. He moves them 7 inches, ready to unload in my face. He fails warptime, and his invul save.. and his prince dies. First kill point for me. His nurgle prince passes warptime. His shooting was rather dull. He didn't kill jack with his dakka preds, and his las pred rolls snakeeyes on both lascannons to wound my assault squad. His terminators kill one marine, and I kill one. Tied combat.. ugh. His nurgle prince did 1 wound to the chappy, I fail an invul save and he kills 1 marine. My guys strike back and do no damage, then the power fist comes and strikes home with both hits and wounds and he rolls 2 3's for invuls. Dead... Consol. Two kill points me, him zero. My bottom of third, my left assault squad is without a priest, and moves to intercept the chaos las/ac pred and I manage to do no damage to it, and I'm out of charge range by an inch. My top squad sits there.. as the tzeench prince went poof. My right assault squad I have 6 marines or so left, with the priest and chappy and I move toward the non moving dakka preds. My vanguard vets come up to hopefully assault whatever is inside his rhinos. Assault phase, i assault his 2 stationary preds, blowing up both of them. The explosion kills 1 marine in the process. By this time he had to go so he called it a game. I had 4 kill points, he had zero. It was a hard read.. but this was from a game last night... I never used the priests as I kept them far enough from getting into combat on purpose, so he didn't target them. He didn't know they were IC's, but he didn't ask either. Even with moving up to 6 inches, I still wasn't able to get into combat easily. Overall.. my MVPs of the game... the priests.. without the FNP I would have lost at least 5 or 6 assault marines before getting into CC. Also the Furious charge helped immensely in a way obviously. I wish my assault marines could have done more to the termies, and not tied them up. My chappies performed as planned. My one chappy had 1 wound left, the other had 2. Overall, worth it if you really want to make any squad super hard hitting. I dont think I'll use sanguine guard as they're only 5 men, and an assault squad can do just as well with overall saturation of attacks. I think vanguard vets will be able to do better than sanguine guard.. More attacks, and with a chappy it doesn't matter. I think I would have started to clean him out with his two demon princes gone. I hope this wasn't TOO hard to read... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200243-2k-angels-vs-nurgle-marines/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
