What Champions!

I ran the following list today that I found on some other forums just to try it out. I've never used the Sanguinor before, so that was also new.

 

I ended up facing some shooty Tyranids with a hammer unit of a Swarmlord with 2 body guards(they had whips that made my I =1) and some other IC HQ attached as well. Things looked incredibly bleak by turn 3, and i was pretty damn sure that I was going to lose, so i started joking about my marines kicking it into high gear and acting like "movie marines". All i had left was Meph, Sanguinor with 1 wound who was still in combat with the swarmlord, my terminator TH/SS seargeant, a priest, the chaplain, 6 assault marines, and 2 sergeants, that it's, just 13 models. The only thing I managed to kill at this point was one of those monstrosities that :D out gaunts, and some gaunts.

 

In the next 2 and a half turns these few SOB's actually pulled out the biggest come-back I've seen with my own eyes. I honestly have absolutely no idea how many saves I made, it's mind boggling to even think about. Every single psychic power from Meph went off, except for 1 force weapon attempt, even rolling with 3 dice. Almost everything hit and wounded. And in the end I was close to tabling him before the handshake came across the table from my distraught and shocked opponent who couldn't believe what just happened.

 

The few heroes who made this a victory are definitely getting some trophies on their bases.

Sweet comeback! When times are bleakest our boys in red shine through. I personally recall being outnumbered 100 models to 35 against Dark Eldar, meaning he had everything on the table and I was coming in from Reserves piecemeal. He had like 10 boats and 6 jetbikes swarming my 2x10 Tacticals in Rhinos and a solitary DC dread that dropped in behind him. Suffice it to say he popped both Rhinos and the Dread in Turn 1 and encircled my Tacticals for the slaughter on Turns 2&3 before I finally got Astorath, Lemartes and 5 JPDC on Turn 3, my 2 LRs and 2 Baals finally came in on Turn 4 and mopped everything up. I did learn one very important thing about my force - never reserve them again. Baals to the walls from now on.

 

Sorry that turned into a 'me' story. Bottom line is: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE BLOOD ANGELS.
