Brother_Kluft Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Whew! After a day of pretty burly gaming, I just edged my way into the ard'boys semi final. My List was the following MephistonReclusiarch Tac Squad [sword, MMelta, flamer, rhino w/dozer] Tac Squad [sword, MMelta, flamer, rhino w/dozer] Assault squad [ hammer, flamer] Assault squad [ fist, 2xmelta] Death company [DC x 9, Fist, rhino] Th/ SS terminators Crusader w/ MMelta, extra armour Sang priest Libby Dread [pod, magna] Vindicator Game 1 vs Black Templars Marshal w lightning clawsEmp Champion 2 x Assault terminators [4LC/1 TH, furious charge] 2 x Crusaders [ MMElta] 3 x Initates [Fist, Melta, rhino, all cc weapons] 3 x predator [auto cannon, las sponsons] 3 x Land Speeder [MMelta, Heavy flamer] This game was a bloodbath! All the objectives were clumped together in the middle of the board, lots of craters, very little LOS cover. He won the roll to go first and went first. I reserved everything. No need to do a move by move breakdown but it went like this. Libby Dread drops, lance hits like 3 things, and does jack. On enemy turn he plows a ton of lascannon and melta fire into it and I rock the shield of sanguinus. My dread is only stunned. Turn 2 a tac squad, mephy and a combat squad come in. Combat squad deep strikes and breaks A crusader with melta. Everything else smokes or hide. Turn 3 Mephy charges tac squad and emp champ and does 1 wound! Death Co and chappy annihilate some TH termies. Mephi eventually does down after killing only 5 marines. Boiled down to me being 1 MM from 2 objectives! So game ended in a draw. Lessons - Mephy can fail you big tiem sometimes, dont rely on him. Sheild of Sanguinus is awesome in a Pod dread. Go first playing ard boys... ergo corbulo is awesome.

Judaz Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 So 'ard boys let you take upgrades to a furioso libby? From what I've read on most of the forums they can't choose upgrades after taking librarian upgrade. I think it's weird so I really hope this is the way to go. Congrats by the way!

Aarkon Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yes very well done, happy to see some of the Blood Angels make it. Though I am a Blood Angel at heart after looking at the 'Ard Boy missions I ended up taking a Hoard Chaos list and also made it to the Semi's with a respectable 2nd place. You'll all be happy to know though that with my prize I picked up a Sanguanry Guard box set :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201564-made-it-to-ard-boys-semifinal/#findComment-2401847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exterminatus Machine Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Grats...I got pulled to 2 Draws and a minor loss...I was 8th out of 16 people though...lol Love the deathstar termie squad too... I periled once with mine, first game was against Faildar...runes of warding, so I was taking tests on 3 dice. Failed only one test. Second games was against Nids, and I failed no tests...I used him to tarpit a brood of zoenthropes. The next game...He got hosed by an old school psy hood from a Sisters army. He wipe the flamer squads and got gunned down by a exorcist...

I hate the they can't take upgrades when you go librarian...not being able to take extra armor hoses them. So 'ard boys let you take upgrades to a furioso libby?

Exterminatus Machine Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Is there a FAQ out for it? Because the codex says...you exchange all wargear options for DCCW w/ Storm Bolter, Force Weapon, Psychic Hood and smoke launchers. I'm just reading it as stated...

kollar Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 There is actually nothing stating that you cannot take further upgrades after exchanging all your wargear. Thus, you exchange all wargear for the librarian option, then you can buy upgrades after. The upgrades are also not listed like JP's and Bike options when referring to terminator armour, as it is on characters. If they followed their own ways of handling upgrades and disallowed upgrades, all the upgrades would stand under a separate entry reading; "If not upgraded to a Librarian Dreadnought, can take the following;" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201564-made-it-to-ard-boys-semifinal/#findComment-2402060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 It is a permissive rules set. And the upgrades permits you to purchase additional items. The only thing you cannot do is trade to Blood Talons because you have 'swapped all wargear for....' and no longer have the 2 Blood Fists necessary to swap for Talons.

DIKU Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 before this gets way off topic, i feel like i should say that the libby furioso upgrade debate has been a toss up and most people are waiting for an FAQ. here's a link to the rules forum where i asked the same question: link. however its nice to hear that it was allowed in an 'ard boys tourny. congrats on the win!

SamaNagol Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I'd like to meet someone who honestly believed the sentence 'swap all wargear for....' somehow disallows 'may purchase additional...' Oh wait, it's at the end of the list so that must mean you can't do anything above it, right! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201564-made-it-to-ard-boys-semifinal/#findComment-2402256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
