mughi3 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I had been using the deisplay case at my LGS to display some of my minis so i would not have to transports them,but as the fates would haveit o had to remove everything to make way for a remodel. As it was i used to have a fully fluffed out ravenwing and deathwing army from 3rd editionall the way up until the newest DA codex was released and made most of my armies illegal. disgusted with GWs treatement of my dex i ended up selling off all but a very few of my minis from those times, just enough to field a 750 RW list under the new dex(they got me with the jet bike i had to get it) and a few DW units. given my relocation i decided to use the opportunity to throw whatever i had left on the table. incidently it also includes almost every FW unit i own(save the tau XV 9 i keep at home) At 2,250 the list is HQ .sammael jetbike .libby in terminator armor Troop X2 bike squad with PF/MM attack bike Elite .venerable DW dread with DCCW/H-flamer, extra armor, plasma cannon .venerable DW dread with DCCW/H-flamer. extra armor, assault cannon .venerable DW dread with DCCW/H-flamer, extra armor, TL'd auto-cannon Fast .land speeder tempest Heavy .FW land raider helios .FW land raider crusader (prometheus proxy) .FW land raider crusader 2,240 points http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/DA2250.jpg I played against blood angels with a revamped mech list Hq .tycho Troops X4 assault squad with melta/PF in las/plas razorback Elite .sternguard squad in las/plas razorback with melt/PF and combi meltas .sangunary priest with PF/combi-melta Fast X3 assault cannon Baals Heavy X2 vindicators X1 double autocannon armed dread. 2,245 points http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/da19252010.jpg We rolled up a random mission and got the worst one possible for the BAs- kill points with 12" deployment The BAs got to go first so my deployment was minimal with only 2 dreads, sammael and one crusader with libby hitting the table. He did something he normally does not do and started 2 Baals on the table so he could scout them forward. he sank all the fire he could into the plasma dread and the crusader only managing to stun both. i then rolled forward on my turn but my fire was pretty innefective. the raiders melta missed the vindicator in front of him, and the libby got out and assaulted after Hellfire rolled an abysmal S4 but he failed to connect(damn fast vehciles). sammy popped off a shot on it as well but failed to pen, about the only thing i managed was stunning a razor with the autocannon dread. He then moved up again dumping fire into the rader, plasma dread and sammael. sammy takes a single wound the plasma dread looses his DCCW and gets stunned, but the raider is not touched. the libby gets melted by sternguard and tycho. My turn 2 the raider pops the vindy finally leaving a clear shot for sammy's plasma, taking out the sterns. i get both bike squads in and the helios. this turn. one AB pops a Ball and the others shoot inefectively at razorbacks. and then assault them, but once again the fast vehciles are hard to grab. i manage to pop his dread, stun his other vindy and a couple razorbacks as well, He then gets out on his turn and proceedes to destoy all the bike squads, take the other arm off the plasma dread(and stun it again), stun the crusader, he unloads fire on sammy who manages to make all his saves. Now something silly happens- a battle sammy is not meant to win. i drop a plasma shot on the 5 assault marines that just killed one of my ABs scoring a direct hit-5 dice roll me four 1s to wound ::P: so i go ok i will assault, i hit with all my attacks and roll four 3's to wound. :eyebrows: the attacks back inflict a single wound forcing me to take an addtional save for being fearless which i fail. Not a good day for sammy. I do however manage to pop tycho,s razorback, the armless dread manages to kill a second, and my helios ripps the assault cannon off a second baal my second crusader proxy comes in as well as my tempest. infortunately they both do horribly poor and only kill a couple asasult marines. His turn sees the helios immobilised, the autocannon dread and the armless dread both stunned , the land speeder immobilised, the proxy crusader looses it's assault cannon. The auto dread now assaults the squad that got sammy and ties them up, my last dread comes in and finishes the squad that broke the proxy crusaders gun, the other crusader pens the last vindy, but it is smoked so it survives. 2 more rounds of this sees all the dreads survive the vindicator and the crusader both die, another razorback dies to the assault cannon dread and the squad in it reduced to a melta gunner fromt he helios's whirlwind strike and the proxy crusaders support fire. The tally is made and the DA are sitting at a loss of 5 units X2 bike squads X2 HQs .land raider crusader. the light skinned BA transports and side armor of thier tanks prove to be thier undoing in this match. loosing a total of 14 units X3 razorback X3 baal X2 vindy X2 assault squad X1 stern squad .tycho .dread .sangunary priest http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/da29252010.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/da39252010.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/da49252010.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/da59252010.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/da69252010.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/da79252010.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/da89252010.jpg I am planning on a re-do of the list now withthe second crusader proxy being replaced by my regular land raider in the next outing.

DAwarrior43 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I really enjoy reading your reports, keep up the good work! Do you feel your list would preform better with some terminators inside some of those land raiders? It just seems like your troop selection is awfully thin with this list. Does the benefit of 3 raiders offset the problem of having few scoring units?

Does the benefit of 3 raiders offset the problem of having few scoring units? Uh... you may have noticed in my post. this is all i have left. i used to have a full RW and a full DW army at 1,850 both built during 3rd ed and used up till the end of 4tth when the new dex was released and killed both my armies. i ended up selling off most of it, only keeping a few prize minis and a small demo army(RW at 750 points hense the small troop selection) . If i were to do anything with terminators now it would be in a space wolf -wolfguard style deathwing. it's the only way to make an all terminator or terminator heavy force really effective now.

DAwarrior43 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I understand that, I misread your last sentence of redoing the list and was asking what you would do to improve your list Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212004-all-that-remains/#findComment-2526024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
