Brother-Captain Lucius Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hey lads, just after returning from the 1st day of Warpcon and it has been ab average day for me <_< and my DoA list while it os going quite well for Corby's twin raven mech list. At the moment I'm sitting at 23/100 points with 2 games to go, both worth 20pts each for a win. I believe I will be playing a friends tau list tomorrow as he's on level points with me at the moment. Now I Should manage to get at least a 15/5 off of him if it turns out that I am playing him which would put me about mid table. If I manage to get 50/100 points for this tourney I will be delighted as it is my first. 1st game I got matched up with Irelands ETC vice captain <_< who was running a DE list I had never seen nor played. It was basically 3 squads of wytches in raiders, 2 squads of warriors in raiders, void raven bomber thingey (horrendously bent) for a DoA army, 2 fighters, 2 archaons and some raques? I got absolutely destroyed here with me only wrecking 3 raiders and killing some wytches while he took my whole army. Ended 19-1 to him. 2nd game was against a Black Templar Player I thought I could take and I could have if I hadn't been so thick with my deployment. His list was: Crusader squad (10), meltagun, fist, emperors champion attached to them all in a godhammer raider, crusader squad (10), meltagun,fist, rhino, 7 assault terminators, 2 TH/SS, attached reclusiarch. I took out the champs raider and half his squad on the drop, and my opponent had immobilised his termies raider on terrain first turn. His termies then ended ylup going through my whole army (vanguard had mishapped and were in corner of board). The reason I got tabled here is the emperors champion survived 10 thunder hammer wounds through about 3-4 CC turns. If I had killed him I could have just jumped around and dodged his termies. He tabled me with the score being 18-2. 3rd game was against a friends eldar list who I tabled 20-0 and that's all ye need to know :P he got 183 points of my army while ingot his whole 1750. One of my librarians took a wound off himslef but it was worth it as the 2 together got off about 3 lances strangely and I was nulling most of my opponents powers (best psyhic fight ever). The last 120pts he got was from half of one of my hammer squads. Hopefully I will get that tau player and scrape back some points and hope its a good day tomorrow! Oh btw this tourney is at 1750 points. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221008-warpcon-21/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Sounds like you had a blast, those DE can be real tricky, and the EC is a complete pain (tough break on those TH). Ill be waiting to hear how you go with day 2, and DEATH TO TAU!!!!

Brother-Captain Lucius Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Well today didn't go to plan :mellow: Got matched up against a Dick of an Ork player who constantly called judges on me fro things i did which were perfectly legal, he kept measuring whos in range and then picking targets, kept measuring how far i moved after i measured it myself, called a judge on me as i rallied, moved 3" as per the new FAQ then moved normally, wouldnt take dangerous terrain tests for his bikes and then when i was in combat against his deff dread i got a weapon destroyed, asked him to take off the skorcha arm with me thinking it was on an arm, he then tells me there separate and then i ask him to take off an arm and then he says no as you already chose the skorcha :P . Was mighty pissed after this game. He also sucked the fun of the game right out. I lost this 17-3 in Capture and Control Pitched battle. The reason i lost is i could NOT kill a deff dread for my life. through about 6 CC phases with it with 2 Hammers and a Fist i could not kill it. Got 5-6 pens and they all rolled 1's or 2's. In the second game i Heard i was against a Mech Vulkan list which i absolutely needed. This was the only Heavy Mech force i played surprisingly. I won this game 15-5. Mission was 5 Objectives, Dawn of War. All 5 were in his table half. The reason i won this game is because of my Shield/Lance libby who in the last turn Lanced through a Pod exploding an immobilised ironclad, exploding a drop pod and wrecking a Raider. With one lance! After this game i ended up with 42/100 points which i was happy enough with overall for my first tourney. i finished 48/68 in the end. All in all it was a very fun weekend for me and it was great to meet some new players! Oh Corby if you didnt see your final standings you placed 17th.

Corby Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Cheers mate. Was an awesome tornament and if I had moved my stormraven in a more sensible fashion for the last turn in game 5 I could have finished alot higher. Overall had great fun. Will give a brief rundown of my games at a later date. Game 3 was especially intense.

Will give a brief rundown of my games at a later date. Game 3 was especially intense. I think you would have placed 7-8 instead as John finished 8th. Yeah I saw those termies juuuuuust fit through the gap. The pivoting was off by about a few millimetres. Your game 3 alright seemed very tense as ye had just annihilated each other! It was the best game I had seen over the course of the weekend. Will be looking forward to your write ups!

Kurb Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Did you get a lot of work out of those Combi-melta's on the preists? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221008-warpcon-21/#findComment-2644152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Lucius Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Some did help and some didn't. When I played the Vulcan list they helped helped me to immobilize ironclads and predators which would have surely ripped me apart. That and the game against the dual raider list is where they helped me most but other than that I faced less mech than I thought I would. I would have rather had a claw on 1 or 2 of them. In playtesting they did help ALOT as they gave me 3 extra meltas on the turn I come down. These were when I testing against mech lists. They were also handy against MC's.
