IamCaboose Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Had a 1750 tournament at the LGS yesterday. 3 rounds using 'Ard Boyz missions. I was trying a new list that I had yet to test and I was surprised how well it worked. My list was: Rune Priest- 130 Wolf Tooth Necklace, Runic Armour (Living Lightning and Jaws of the World Wolf) Wolf Guard(5)- 229 1- Powerfist, Combi-Melta 2- Powerfist, Combi-Melta 3- Powerfist, Storm Bolter 4- Powerfist, Storm Bolter 5- Powerfist, Combi-Plasma Scouts(6)- 145 Meltagun, Meltabombs, Mark of the Wulfen Wolf Guard 1 Venerable Dreadnought- 190 Multi-Melta, Heavy Flamer, Extra Armour Drop Pod- 35 Grey Hunters(9)- 165 Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Standard Wolf Guard 2 Rhino- 35 Grey Hunters(9)- 165 Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Standard Wolf Guard 3 Rhino- 35 Grey Hunters(8)- 150 Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Standard Wolf Guard 4 Rhino- 35 Grey Hunters(9)- 170 Plasmagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Standard Wolf Guard 5 Rhino- 35 Vindicator- 115 Vindicator- 115 My first game was against a BA player who had a really small army. Dante w/ decked out sanguary guard, 1 assault squad in redeemer, 1 with jump packs, a MM speeder, 5 TH/SS termies, a librarian and 3 sang. priests. He held everything in reserve to deep strike. He was so terrified of the 2 vindis that he landed everything on his side of the board anyways. Few key things in the game: Dante and friends wiped a squad off the board, Ven. Dread killed all but the sgt from the jump pack assault squad but and held up the last TH/SS termie, scouts immoblized the redeemer on his side of the board and then die. By the end of the game I had lost the scouts, a rhino, and 1 GH squad. He had 1 sang. guard left, his jump pack sgt, 1 TH/SS termie, the librarian, 1 sang priest, and an immobile redeemer. Major Victory plus 1 modifier for me. Game 2 was a Tau player that swore to me he was going to show me that Tau were not as bad as they are. I dont remember his list but it had Shadowsun, lots of sniper drones(yea...), 6 broadsides, and 12 man fire warrior squads with marker drones. Turn 1 he pops a rhino and starts talkin some trash. My turn 1 my ven dread lands on his far right flank and burns up some fire warriors, he remains smug and assure me his broadsides will handle it. 6 turns later my ven. dread is pounding on squad 2 of sniper drones. Best moment of the game: JotWW fires through 2 marker drones to hit Shadowsun and a Broadside team leader, the marker drones survive and the other 2 broadsides run off the table(and I heard him cry cheese the entire game). He was tabled turn 6 giving me a Massacre plus all 4 modifiers. Game 3 was against a guard player who got a massacre his first game, not sure how his 2nd went. I stole the iniative and immediatly dropped both of his valkyries with both my vindicators, and a leman russ fell to my Ven. Dreads MM. By turn 3 he had a Manticore and 4 veterans left, I had lost 2 scouts(blew themselves up while assaulting a Demolisher and an Executioner), and 3 Grey Hunters to some flamers and shotguns. He was cool about it and played it out to the very end. Overall I got lost first place by 4 points because the 1st place guys opponent gave up on turn 2. I'm very pleased with the list!

Caboose You know.. when you say your Vindi's took down his Valkyries, I just rofled. The most ponderous weapon in our book and it takes down a skimmer. Things like this make me love the game. Like the time my Vindicator fired at a Predator and it scattered -through- a house and killed half of the enemy squad behind it.

Blitzkreig Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 You know.. when you say your Vindi's took down his Valkyries, I just rofled.

Like the time my Vindicator fired at a Predator and it scattered -through- a house and killed half of the enemy squad behind it. I had a Lone Wolf with a pair of Thunder Hammers inside a bunker fighting a squad of Berzerkers..... so I attacked the building, bought it down on them, killing them all before my Lone Wolf stood up and charged off towards a Daemon Prince :). It is things like that that make me love this game.
