Blood Angels vs. Demons

[thundrchickn]

Played another game tonight for an advancement like tourney. Each week we play a game to advance up a ladder system. The guy at the top for 5 games straight with an all painted army wins 1000 pts free from the LGS.

 

I ran another variant of my razorback spam tonight against demons.

 

He had

 

bloodthirster

keeper of secrets

 

3 sets of 3 flamers

 

10 bloodletters

20 demonettes

10 plaguebearers

 

6 screamers

 

2 demon princes with wings

1 soulgrinder with everything

 

 

I played

 

Reclusiarch

 

1 sang priest power weapon

 

4 5 man RAS meltagun/power weapon/razorback/lasplas turret

 

1 5 man same minus meltagun

 

8 man RAS same gear as the first four choice except in rhino

 

3 dakka dakka baal preds

 

2 riflemen dreads

 

 

 

Heres the BatRep

 

Turn 1

 

My opponent being a sneaky demon wins the roll for turn and makes me go first. haha jokes on him because my guys went on a beer run forcing me to call everything into reserves.

 

My opponent was less than receptive to my armies lack of manners and went about his first turn. He being the unlucky fellow he is rolled in his second choice which to me didn't look bad which is rather stupid as plaguebearers look downright filthy. He deepstriked in the center of the map and proceeeded to loaf about until my laxidasical army showed up.

 

Turn 2

 

My general being the lazy bum that he is took all his troops to a club after said beer run but sent the baal predators ahead as we had not taken the designated driver vehicle ugrade for this particular list. The dreadnoughts baled on the party and went with the predators which was to my reclusiarchs advantage as the dreadnoughts tend to be mean drunks and would have started a fight within an hour of getting to the club. The preds took out their aggresion on the keeper of secrets killing him before he realized part of my army showed up. They also (with the help of the dreadnoughts) massacred a bunch of troops.

 

His turn saw the rest of his demons show up except bloodletters and a DP. Everyone realized the fights was on after checking out the keepers dead smoking corpse and moved forward to put a hurtin on some of dem der blood angel jerks. The soulgrinder was the only thing able to shoot and he missed completely.

 

Turn 3

 

My commander finally showed up in his rhino along with 2 razorback squads. Tons of shooting happened. It was like the 4th of July and chinese new years up in there. Remember that pokemon episode way back when that caused a million japanese kids to go into siezures. Ya this was worse. At the end a bunch of flamers were dead along with the bloodthirster and the soulgrinder was a smoking ruin.

 

My opponent was happy his second DP came into play but it didn't make him feel to good that half his army was already dead although he was definately drawing down on my forces. I was pushed up against my deployemnt edge and he would be able to charge possible on the next turn. His flamers managed to peel 2 weapons off one of my predators but other than that was ok.

 

Turn 4

 

The rest of my army showed up and the idiots had to walk onto the board as the razorback drivers were afraid they'd throw up in the back and in one drivers words "aint no way i'm cleaning that up. You can walk for all I care." The reclusiarch was plenty angry at seeing my baal predator taking damge because he knew he'd have to fill out drop pod worth of paper work to requisition relacement weapons and get the vehicle into the paint shop ( which was already over worked from the off road "exploits" from the last time the assault squads went out for "a good ole time") not to mention arange a fleet wide safety briefing on the inherent dangers of sharp pointy things with huge guns and super charged magical exploding gases seping out of their rear. The reclusiarch charged forward and killed the screamers, the 3 walking razorback squads charged directly into the leftover demonettes and a flamer squad with the help of 1 of the dreadnoughts. 8 fearless saves were taken by each squad of my opponent and only 3 of my marines were lost. They probably wont be missed as this army probably wont remember anything from that night with how much partying the did. Another flamer squad on the end of the map was kill by another squad fairly easy.

 

My opponents last squad came into the game way far away where I wouldn't be able to charge and the last remaining flamer in the game tried to glance a dreadnought but failed.

 

Turn 5

 

I started long range cleam up as he only had the 10 bloodletters left and 1 flamer and he called the game after only 2 of my tanks shot.

 

 

I lost 3 marines and 2 guns off 1 baal pred total. The catch me if you can list slaughters another opponent.

That was an interesting battle report... Definitely not common, but interesting. Good job beating up those daemons and saying, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

[Fenric]

Must say it seemd the demon player was unlucky from start to finish in this match. The fact that you shot out a keeper of secrets in oen round with your two baals shows this clearly. I'm no demon player so not tryign to defend the army but he seemed very unlucky.

 

Nice report and well played it seemed.
