Ard Boyz results

[Grimtooth]

I decided to play in Ard Boyz this weekend about 2:30pm Friday afternoon so threw together what I had assembled for a quick list.

 

HQ:

Wolf Lord: ss/th, tda, saga of bear

Rune Priest: runic weapon, tda, master of runes, living lightning, tempest wrath

 

Elites:

WG

power armor, ss, frost weapon, bike

tda, wc, wc

tda, chainfist, stormbolter

tda, th, ss

tda, frostblade, stormbolter, cml

 

Troops:

3x-Grey Hunter x10, melta x2, mow, wolf standard, powerfist, drop pod

1x-Grey Hunter x10, plasma x2, mow, wolf standard, power weapon, drop pod

1x-Grey Hunter x10, flamer x2, mow, wolf standard, powerfist, drop pord

 

Fast:

10x-Fenrisian wolves

5x-Swiftclaw Bikers, melta, powerfist

 

Heavy:

Redeemer, multi-melta, extra armor

 

Scenario 1:

 

Went against a CSM list.

 

DP

Greater Demon

Thousands Sons in rhino x2

Bersekers in rhino x2

CSM in rhino x1

Lesser Demons

2x-Oblits x3

1x-Oblits x1

 

Ran out of time on this one and lost a minor victory. He held 1 objective and was able to contest the one I had with a rhino. One more turn had me posed to fire and assault on his 1k Sons holding his objective with a full 10 man GH squad and also assault with my full HQ/WG minus the wc/wc tda the contesting rhino. Small mistakes, but was fun droping in three pods, castling his rhinos and completely stopping his rhino rush to objectives.

 

Scenario 2:

 

Nids

 

HT with 3-4 guards

3x zoanthropes

2x shooty carnifexes

2x cutty carnifexes

6x bunch of genestealers with broodlord

1x ymgoiglil (sp) genestealers

 

Massacre victory for the nids. I got destroyed. I think I was possessed by a Blood Claw or something because I was just willy nilly all over the place trying to kill crap. Game ended with only my Grey Hunter plasma gun squad left on the table.

 

Scenario 3:

 

Demon army. Really, I am not even sure if this army was legal because it was a to of bits rolled in a barrel, a bottle of glue tossed in, and then stuff that stuck together was pulled out and given a unit name. WYSIWYG was no way enforced with this guy. It was total crap.

 

3x Herald of Tzeentch on jetbike things

DP of Nurgle

Skullcrusher

bunch of juggers

some plague zombies

khorne demon things

screamer things

?????

big 13 av demon walker thing

 

Major victory for the wolves. I castled 3 pods in center of board, units ran into cover with tempest wrath being cast at center. His army came in horribly for him and because I had castled with rune priest in center he offset his stuff a ton allowing me to just rapid fire him to death and counter attack him when he tried assaulting me in cover. Other pods came in on flanks to destroy stuff lingering outside of rapid fire range.

 

Summary of performance:

 

Game 1, I should have made my objective grabbing moves, one move sooner. I lost track of game time which would have changed the outcome completely.

 

Game 2, I should have stopped, taken a breath, and then looked at the board with a clear head. I could have 3 pod castled his hive tyrant and guard that was in cover with LRR backup and then gunlined his entire genestealer army while last two pods would have taken out zoanthropes while HQ/WG unit went carnifex hunting.

 

Game 3, I played well. I should have dropped the last two pods together on one flank instead of one per each flank for mass effective fire to have secured a Massacre.

Did you take any pics of the daemon dude? I would love to see what he was trying to play with.

Sorry, no pics.

 

Really it was total b.s. It really was a bundle of crap glued together. The only wysiwyg were the khorne demons.

Yeesh. That bites man.
