BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I had a great battle today versus another a player testing their new CSM list for BB II. A sleek black cat in the house kept rubbing against my leg when i rolled hte dice. We randomly rolled for teh third mission: - SANDALS - * The primary win condition was killpoints. * Killing the most enemy troops as the first tie breaker. * TQ by kp was the secondary tie breaker. * Victory points was the third tie breaker. Deployment was Pitched Battle. I was running my standard DoA list (Blood Saints): ++HQ++ The Sanguinor Librarian/Epistolary, jump pack, Unleash Rage & Sanguine Sword Honor Guard - jump packs, banner, TH & SS, pair of LC, 2xLC & SS ++Elites++ Furioso dreadnought - extra armor & HF (decided to run him with S10 Blood Fists over Blood Talons) Sanguinary Priest/Jump pack, power sword ++Troops++ 10x assault Marine/meltagun, flamer, thunderhammer & stormshield 10x assault Marine/meltagun, flamer, thunderhammer & stormshield ++Fast Attack++ Vanguard Veterans/jump packs, PF & SS, 2x LC & SS, 2x power sword & bolt pistol, meltabombs ++Heavy Support++ Stormraven - extra armor , twlc @ twmm Here is the CSM list: ++HQ++ 2x lash prince/wings ++Elites++ 3x defiler ++Heavy Support++ 3x dreadnaught (ea. w. 2x DCCW) ++Troops++ 3x 8Khorne Berserkers incl. Champion w. Power sword - rhino 3x 8Khorne Berserkers incl. Champion w. Power sword - rhino 3x 8Khorne Berserkers incl. Champion w. Power sword - rhino 5x CSM - rhino = Blood Saints vs. Chaozilla = > CSM won the deployment roll and chose to go first deploying in a tight castle with the rhinos up front as bunkers. > The terrain was excellent with some cover for my Stormraven. > No BS squads succumb to the Red Thirst. > One of the assault Marine sergeants is blessed by the Sanguinor and the Priest joins that squad in reserve. 1st TURN CSM: > Everything sits still except for one rhino which immobilized itself (Berzerkers). 0 kp CSM - 0 kp BS 2nd turn - CSM: > Pop smoke on all rhinos & dreads. > Mobile rhinos move 1". 2nd turn - BS: (no red thirst) Assault squad with Sanguinor's Blessing arrives and jumps behind cover. 0 kp CSM - 0 kp BS 3rd turn CSM: > Mobile rhinos move 1". 2nd turn BS: > Everything else comes in from reserve. > Stormraven alpha strikes one rhino and destroys it. > VV use HI to destroy another rhino. 0 kp CSM - 2 kp BS 3rd turn CSM: > All shooting on VV, one Vanguard Vet survives and breaks. VV falls back 9" and will regroup, 3rd turn BS: > VV regroups and charges immobilized rhino destroying it with meltabombs. > Stormraven moves flatout and destroys another rhino. 0 kp CSM - 4 kp BS 4th turn CSM: > Khorne Berzerkers shoot down last VV. > Lash Prince charges Stormraven and destroys it. 4th turn BS: > Sanguinor charges one squad of Berszerkers and destroys them (Berzerkerz had taken some wounds from destroyed rhinos). > Epistolary and Honor Guard charge one Prince and Defiler, destroying both. > Furioso charges Chaos dreadnaught - drawn combat. > Assault Marines charge rhino and one squad of Berzerkers, destroying the rhino. 2 kp CSM - 8 kp BS The game continues through to the 7th turn. BS destroy all enemy troops and CSM cannot make up the difference in kps. Final Results: } Blood Saints win primary and all three tie breakers for the massacre. } End of game CSM had left one Prince and a defiler. Blood Saints have left one assault squad, Sanguinary Priest, Epistolary and Honor Guard. This game I was using my perphipal attack tactics. My opponent castled so I could not play the Counter Punch style of DoA tactics.

JamesI Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Well done. That honor guard seems really expensive to me. Do you find them worthwhile? Have you considered adding some meltaguns just for the drop (though that would weaken then in close) The Lash Prince must have rolled pretty well to take out the Raven, though I guess stuff like that happens sometimes.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Love the Librarian and Honor Guard combo. I use the shooting from the Stormraven to make up for their lack of shooting. They can kill just about anything in close combat. It was not a problem losing the Stormraven to the Prince since the HQ and Furioso were both in position to charge my following turn. The two Princes were only able to lash once and it was inconsequential. The hood shut them down twice.
