wolf363839 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 We are playing a campaign in the GW store that I frequent. Whichever of the 4 teams has more of a certain type of planet on the map than the other teams will gain a benefit or special rule, some more significant than others. I've been holding my own with a 3-1 record, but my team is fairing poorly, so my opponent today had tons of special abilities. He plays a chaos marine force using the SW codex (hence the heresy). My Special Rules: LD 10 on all my Wolf Guard, so all 4 of my GH packs had Ld 10. One GH pack in my Redeemer had 2+ armor. His Special Rules: Choose one non-vehicle unit from any Space Marine codex (he chooses 2 Sanguinary Priests from the BA's). One of his troop choices is "half points" allowing him to spend the remainder elsewhere. One Long Fang pack w/ 5 MLs is BS 5. His second Long Fang pack w/ 5 MLs is Slow and Purposeful. Rune Priest's Rhino was front armor 12. His massive 10 WG Termie unit has WS 5. Summary: Needless to say no matter what I did I was gonna get my ass kicked. His massive 10 WG Termies w/ Logan and a Sang Priest Termie were basically unstoppable. However, through a 1" under-estimation on his part, I was able to move my Rune Priest in range to contest one objective and my last GH pack seized the far objective, and with a roll of 2 the game ended on turn 5, which is the only reason I wasn't tabled. The result was 1 obj a piece for a tie. The greatest satisfaction was pulling a draw on a guy who used a super-cheese force and had all the special abilities in the world...

Wysten Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 You should take the mantle of wolf lord and slap those puny wolf guard into shape for losing so badly. XD Very good job though, sounds like his pride has been dented.

Chodjinn Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 those sorts of rules are ridiculous. Why not just play a normal game? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206901-why-i-hate-gw-campaigns/#findComment-2468176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 You denied the foul forces of chaos victory brother, to me that is a win in itself. Have a well earned steak and some alcohol.

Wolfsrage Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I groaned at "played a Chaos force using the SW codex." Well done. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206901-why-i-hate-gw-campaigns/#findComment-2468199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf363839 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Thanks brothers. My rant and rage is complete. And it did feel like a win when I saw the utter disappointment that he didn't get the W...ROAR!!! I will continue to play in the campaign, but won't play with either side using any of the special rules from now on. We'll see how well the heretics can fly with a clipped wing...

Hotspur Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I groaned at "played a Chaos force using the SW codex." Well done. :) Me too. I just can't stand it when somebody says, "I'm going to play such-and-so army, but I'm going to use a codex from a different army..." ;) Why not just play that army then? If you don't like the way that army looks... TOUGH COOKIES!!! Sorry... ;) Congratulations brother! All the Wolf Whiz Ale you can drink is on me for the next month!
