My BloodStrike list is configured as follows:

 

Reclusiarch + Corbulo + terminators + Furioso - Stormraven

Reclusiarch (jump pack) + Death Company + DC dreadnaught - Stormraven

 

Sanguinary Priest attached to full squad of assault Marines.

 

My opponent went first and castled his army, clumped together both squads of Long Fangs with Rune Priest, one squad of Grey Hunters mounted in landraider, other squad of Grey Hunters mounted in rhino, TWC over beside Long Fangs, Wolf Scouts deployed behind landraider.

 

1st Turn SW

Sits still.

 

1st Turn BA

Everything is waiting in reserves.

 

2nd Turn SW

Sits still again and pops smoke on rhino and landraider.

 

2nd Turn BA

This turn in comes my small squad of assault Marines and both Stormravens. I deepstruck the assault squad behind the landraider (not much room), they scatter 6" and mishap - lost to the warp. I also deepstrike both Stormravens and they drift up a bit - both Alpha and Bravo units will be able to charge the next turn. One Stormraven shoots it's multi-melta into the landraider and immobilizes it.

 

3rd Turn SW

His entire army fires everything they've got into both Stormravens with the primary focus on the one carrying the terminators. Both squads of Grey Hunters dismount as well. The Stormraven ferrying the terminators is shaken, the other Stormraven takes no damage. I used Corbulo's All Seeing Eye rule to reroll a failed cover save for the Stormraven carrying the terminators. Thunderwolves charge the shaken Stormraven and wreck it.

 

3rd Turn BA

The Stormraven with the Death Company moves 12" over beside a squad of Grey Hunters and dismounts. Reclusiarch and his Death Company line up to charge one squad of Grey Hunters and DC dreadnaught lines up to charge the other Grey Hunter squad. Furioso lines up to charge one squad of Long Fangs. The other Reclusiarch and the terminators line up to multi charge Wolf Scouts, other squad of Long Fangs, plus one squad of the Grey Hunters. The aftermath of this epic assault sees all of these Space Wolf units destroyed while I take no damage in return. All that's left now is the Thunderwolves, immobilized landraider and an empty rhino.

 

Fast forward to end of turn five - all Space Wolf units are destroyed. I've lost both Stormravens and the Death Company Marines (plus the small squad of assault Marines that misshaped).

 

Epic battle if ever there was one !!

:P thats some sick damage you did there :yes:

 

may i ask however how you survived a full round of 2k pts of space wolves shooting? theyre AV 12 all-round, not very spectacular when you look at the healthy amount of his AT power. was it just luck on your part (or bad luck on his?) you mention you reroll a cover save. i havent seen pictures of your stormraven i believe (hint hint :rolleyes: ) but i find that mine is pretty hard to hide behind terrain :)

 

either way good job stomping the puppies! back to the kennel you go B)

One of the thunderlords had a thunderhammer (S10, 6 attacks)... That is what popped the Stormraven in close combat.

 

@ Wildfire - I used Lemartes the following day versus Tau... He did great but I can't split him off from the Death Company which would have been very useful so I'll probably just stick with the original selection.
