Ebsolom Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 One thing I like about my list is the plethora of characters. I can mix and max units each game depending on the army matchup and mission objectives. The last game versus NidStar I deepstruck Dante with his Sanguinary Guard, a Priest and the Chaplain on top of a building. The next turn they assaulted, multi charging and destroyed half the Tyranid army. Epic. G :sweat: I agree, looks pretty flexible like that. Wasn't it risky deepstriking that unit on top of a builing? Wouldn't that invite dangerous terrain checks? Either way it sounded like a great move B) . Thank's for the updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Remember that Dante's special rule means that his unit doesn't scatter. Worked out quite well. The 2+ armor save with FNP was ace versus the Zoies. G :sweat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Lem Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 The power of multiple assaults. :sweat: Nice results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 I came in 7th place out of 70 due to the draw versus Tyranids in the last round. Another turn and I'm pretty sure I could won that one too (only got through four rounds). I had perfect paint and sportsmanship so it all came down to a few battle points. I'm happy with my results.

Brother-Captain Lucius Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Congrats on placing 7th! About dante's precision, I'm pretty sure you would still take dangerous terrain as jump infantry always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Yeah that's true, maybe he passed all his armour saves? Congrats on the 7th position mate :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Top of a building is not necessarily DT. My opponent agreed. G :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I was under the impression you couldn't deep strike on top of a building and have to land on the ground floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Well it was a flat surface. I've never heard that you couldn't. It definitely not was impassable. G :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Lucius Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 We always play that you deepstrike onto the bottom floor, but lets not argue over this here but lets celebrate how your DoA list fared. Most people dont think that DoA lists are viable but they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Lem Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Imagine this. Coming in from above, on wings no less. Next shot; they jump out of the basement. Lol. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBaals Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Did you enjoy the pure DoA list more, or do you like the 'Raven + Furioso additions to the DoA style? Which do you think fairs better against the Nidstar? Nids are the only horde army that I've had trouble with using pure DoA. I'm having fantastic luck with my Stormraven. My Furioso with Blood Talons took about a GIANT mob of orks, a Warboss on a bike, and half a tactical squad in our Apoc game yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm starting to like pure jump better. Kind of funny that. The Dante/SG/Priest unit did very well. I think at 2k I'd add another Chaplain. G :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Lucius Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Honestly at 2K i think you would be better off adding in another scoring, maybe 5 ras with infernus, meltagun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I would rather take a multi wound force multiplier. The Chaplain costs some points but basically it allows us to take the Marine equivalent as an elite, so you have another strong assault HQ in your army. He is expensive but in the right list I think he's well worth it. G :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making the unit as a whole into a mini deathstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yep and a Priest as well. They are a super assault unit when all rolled into one. :rolleyes: G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Wilhelm Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Congratulations on 7th place. The top ranked guys are often separated by terrain on the table or dice. Very well done. I am looking forward to the batreps. I am always interested when something that bucks the fashion, Mech in this case, and your jumpers certainly do that. I was hoping for some SR love but I guess I'll have to wait for that....? I'm hoping for at least two in your 2.5k Ard Boyz lists ^_^ Batreps, batreps, batreps! *drums table* :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isryion Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hey, grats on the tourney success! I noted on your blog that you took a relatively toned down version (pointwise) of your usual VV. Only one with a storm shield instead of 3-4. Any particular reason? Were you trying to fit more in your list elsewhere or do you think that that unit was capable of doing what you essentially want without the resiliency of the storm shields?

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 At 1850 points I just dont have the points for more stormshields. For a five man squad I think one is good enough as they will die to a volley of rapid firing bolters. The unit did great every game indeed. They pretty much won me the game versus SW by holding up a squad of ten terminators - crazy . G :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
