Gumo9 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Another Battlemissions game with my son yesterday and my Blood Angels utterly smashed his tyranids (for a change) in the "suprise attack" mission. In turn one my devastators and LC Razorback took out his Carnifex, Mephiston pasted the Swarmlord, and my LR Redeemer fried a load of Genestealers before the Death Company within charged out and got stuck in! The only tense moment for me was when Deathleaper took Mephiston down to 1 wound. Mephiston immediately killed him for his impudence. I'm starting to get used to using the strengths of my units now (at long last), and the biggest piece of advice I gained from forum members (good deployment) really did the trick for me this time round. Looking forward to the "all round defence" mission next ! G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Well done brother! The first of many successful battles to come against the Great Devourer! (and let's face it, we need them now more than ever) The wisdom of the ancients is as potent a weapon as any blade or gun and is one weapon one should always carry with them, show the vermin who rules this galaxy!

kharn_the_betrayer Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Congrats on the win. I know from experience nids are a bit of a pain. Any new strategies from your victory? Any new advice? Once again congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somar Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Mephiston killing the swarm lord was quite a trick. was the swarm lord with some tyrant guard? they usually are around and with lash whips, reducing Mephistons I to 1. then he has to worry about making his psi tests on 3D6 due to shadow in the warp. and the swarm lord can not be singled out in combat when he has tyrant guards, so they can suck up wounds making it unlikely you get a wound on the swarm lord for the instant death thing. but when the lord has guards with lash whips, then just one wound from him will kill Mephiston anyways. anyways, grats on the win, nids can be very nasty (i should know, my main army is nids ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Great to hear of your victory. You have to pick up the slack for me, since I haven't beaten my friend and his nids for a month now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
