So Mephiston walks into a bar and falls...


Recommended Posts

As the title says, this is a thread I am hoping to start to see how our own little Deamon prince has fallen in everyone's battles. Starting with myself, being one of only two BA players in my area, I have grown fond of Mehpistons ability to walk into a squad and eat it in one combat, or chase it down for some take out latter. My point is that people learn from their mistakes, and when he doesnt ride in a Bird, he is shot quite a bit.

 

Why I bring this up now is that just last night, I had a terrible flop with him. After setup againts 2 GK and a mech IG player in a free for all king of the hill, mehpiston was flanked by two Razorbacks. Silly me thinking this would be decent cover untill a Lemun Russ blows up one, allowing line of sight to Ratlings who infiltrated the main objective. In one shooting phase, before he could move, Mephiston was rended to death by 70 points of Ratlings...

 

Now I hope I am not the only one with moments like this and so I was curious if anyone else had comical stories of his demise.

Best performance by mephiston from my experience, 1250 point league game. Mephiston took the last 2 wounds off a daemon prince, killed a squad of plague marines, killed kharne and the rest of his berserkers, doubled back to kill a defiler, then plasma pistoled the berserkers rhino to deny it the ability to capture an objective. Basically a 1 man army.

 

 

Biggest flop....3 way game and decided to run mephiston across the board first time using him. Killed himself with eldar 3d6 tests and got sniped when he got in range. Did absolutely nothing. Learned fast though and have hid him well ever since.

 

Tonight in the last league game for this session he killed the nightbringer, 3 wraiths, and a necron lord in the same combat phase which effectively ended the game before it even really began (opponent decided to pile in on him to get him).

 

EDIT: He went on to kill 5 destroyers and a monolith before my opponent conceded.

One game I had him perils twice and plasma pistol himself with gets hot once. He then got killed by 2 remaining grey hunters one having a melta gun and one a bolter. I would expect to take a wound from the melta but a single Bolter should not wound mephy!!! Of douse my opponent rolled a 6 to wound and I failed the save with a 1 nutz!!!!

Probably the greatest game I've had with Mephiston was in a 1500 point game vs black templars. He destroyed a LRC, the terminators / EC / Marshal that piled out and assaulted him, then went on to destroy a dreadnought, a full marine squad and a predator all in the span of 5 turns. ;)

 

The biggest flop would probably be having moved him 1'' too far forward, and he was then assaulted by a TH/SS terminator squad before he could even do anything- failed to kill any of them (killed cassius though) and was immediately squashed.

I have two bests for Mephy. One was against a friend in a pick up game when he was starting nids. I got second turn and Mephiston fleeted up to a 'fex and one shoted it and then did the same to a trygon a turn later.

 

The other time was during a tourny. We all had 1k lists and the whole thing was space hulk themed. I was fighting a against eldar. Mephiston got stuck in against a unit of guardians and was killing about five a turn when he was assaulted by an avatar. Two turns of combat later Mephy still had 3 wounds and the avatar was dead.

 

The lowest point for me with Mephy was that same tourny earlier in the day. I was against a chaos player. Mephy ran up to a unit of chaos marines, missed every attack but two, failed to wound twice and got smacked down by the squad.

3*PotW in 3 turns, 1 las-pistol shot (after not taking a single wound from the melta vets in the same squad), final wound is friendly fire from a whirlwind that got max scatter. :D

 

He did make his points back though, he always does.

My all time best Mephiston win was a one on one fight with Abaddon. Mephiston charged underestimating the warlords prowess, he swung wildly with murder in his eye's only to graze the abomination in front of him. Abaddon smiled and unleashed a whirlwind of nine blows only landing two! The next round of blows from a wounded Mephiston saw a quick end to the Despoiler.

 

In the same game my ten man shotgun wielding scouts killed a lash priest with 10 man squad and a sorcerer upgrade in hand-to-hand.

 

My all time worst makes for a much more boring story It's all about rolling ones. I've had a game where everything I did went wrong! I jumped out of terrain only rip a wound of the big guy, quickly followed by an over heat on the plasma pistol he the dove into combat and got not one but two perils of the warp!?! With one wound left I was stuck in combat I had to make one armour save....... Dead!

 

Or there’s the time I got a first turn charge and a chaos sorcerer got a luck hit followed by a six then I failed to block his force weapon with my hood, night mare down in turn one and less than a hand full of chaos marines dead.

Worst I had was running Mephiston in a 2k points game against Njal and some thunderwolves dude. (like a ton of wolves and a dude on a dire wolf). Anyway, I fly him up 12 and I'm hiding behind a building, but his bird familiar can see me, so he Jaws of the World Wolf. With I7, I can only roll a 6.

 

I roll a 6 and he gets removed from the game ON THE FIRST TURN.

worst moment ever

Methy being beaten by fire warrior, not fire warriors, but one frakking warrior

to be fair, we were cracking up about it...

 

Don't mock fire warriors I've had my bad boys take down demon princes in H2H and entire squads of terminators! Normally though they get kicked in by one assault marine so it ballences out in the end.

I had Meph basically win some 2500 pt games by himself.

In a Apoc game, he killed 2 Dreadnoughts, some Black Templars with the Emperor's Champion, destroyed a DropPod because it was close and then mowed down a large blob of Imperial Guardsmen.

 

Then Ive had games where Meph lost his last 2 wounds from a dangerous terrian check from Wings of Sanguinis and then his Plasma Pistol got hot.

The bird only gives a bonus to ballistic skill. Njal would still need to see Mephiston to target him

1500 point game vs an Ork mob. This was either still in the pdf days or right after. Mephy wades through a group of either boyz or nobz, knocking over a large handful before coming face to face with the Boss with a power klaw. Me being all pink-faced and new when it came to marines in general and BA in specific (I had been a Necron player up to then) at the time I sent my Lord of Death into combat with him face first, thinking he had some sort of invuln save since he was supposed to be this insatiable badass. Suffice to say this was not the case. Mephy got ID'd and ate dirt.
