Red_Lep Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I wasn't really sure were to post this but everybody(read: everyone but me) had a good time with these matches. I used two squads of Deathwing with Assault Cannnon and 3 Dreadnoughts with Assault cannon, my brother brought out IG with tons of plasma/lasscannons and a command squad with four sniper rifles in two games. Game one: I made an immense amount of invulnerable saves versus the plasma, I lost only 1 Deathwing to plasma. Then he remembered his 4 snipers. I hate them, oh how I hate them. They alone took out an entire squad of Deathwing and Belial. My other Deathwing met an unfortunate end to IG "Flashlights" as we call them.(the lasguns usually do nothing.) In the end, I was stuck with no Deathwing, no Belial, and only one immobilised and weapon destroyed Dreadnought of uselessness. Game two: I, yet again, survive almost all of the plasma from the IG. I sent Belial with squad and two Dreadnoughts to destroy the evil IG snipers....guess what? 5 Deathwing die by the hands of the snipers. Belial and a Dreadnought survived long enough to almost get into C.C. before each took a lascannon to the face. While my other squad merrily slaughtered much of the IG army, my Dreadnought that survived all plasma/lascannon shot made it to combat with the dreaded snipers....only to spend 2 turns locked in C.C. unable to kill even one sniper. By the start of my 5th turn I called the game. What have I learned? 43 point Deathwing Terminators with a 2+ save are nothing when matched up with 15 point IG snipers that don't even negate the armor save ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213701-deathwing-failure-to-ig-snipers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMouth Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 did you deep strike them or walk them across the board? and did you take any ravenwing?

Red_Lep Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Between his placement of his guard and of terrain, deepstriking would have been a big mistake. And it was pure Terminators and Dreadnoughts. I should point out that I posted this because it was funny, and rereading I don't think my sarcasm and humor comes across very well(if at all). This wasn't an angry "I hate life" post, it was sarcastic "Are you serious?! :lol:" kinda post.

pueriexdeus Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I am wondering how the Snipers did so well... Having used C:DA Scout Snipers in many battles I have never done so well as you portray the results. Might be the Dice Gods were with your opponent, not you... In the future games I would DWA 2X in their (Snipers) faces, Flame On, Assault.

Red_Lep Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 The snipers did so well because the Dice Gods are not happy with me. My first army was Deathwing and as such it was a horrible paint job. I decided it was time to repaint them and ever since my dice have disliked me.

LardO'Blood Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Did you make the proper sacrifices to the dice gods before hand? Maybe next time use your own personal dice just incase the dice you were using were unfair in some way. I'm the only person permitted to fail 7 consecutive 2+ saves :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213701-deathwing-failure-to-ig-snipers/#findComment-2552360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I'm the only person permitted to fail 7 consecutive 2+ saves ;) No you're not -- I once did 9 ;).

Tanhausen Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I got 3 5s on 1 remaining terminator for invulnerable saves ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213701-deathwing-failure-to-ig-snipers/#findComment-2552602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 awhile back, when playing my friend's grey knights with my necrons, i fired 4 destroyers at his hero/lord in terminator armour, with 3 wounds remaining. 12 dice, needing 3+ and i managed to hit with 3. i then went on to wound with these 3, he then failed all 3 2+ saves... A very bizarre mix of luck there :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213701-deathwing-failure-to-ig-snipers/#findComment-2552705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
