Tanhausen Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi there Brother Micky. Being overseas for some time makes sense... just to put you up to date: no, BnC still doesn't charge per letter :P As for dealing with Abaddon + terminators... piece of cake!!! Simply don't let him catch you at close combat! Use you bikes/speeders, blasts are better than kraks (1 wound on a 2+ or 2x3 on a 4+...), use your multimeltas at 60 cm... And move a lot! Wait... I hear you say he carries a LR? Not a probelm either! Much easier, since he can't allocate wounds... throw some double melta bikes supported by a MM AB and boom he goes. You spend 250 points to: A.- wreck 250 points of his B.- Stop a million points of his Hope it helps!

Brother Micky Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Brother tan what about this deep strike mark of something he can use..? we were a pro active force then he came on..! khan was also on the field I should have mentioned.. the GW (left wing) withstood an assault from 20 khorne beserakers and blasted em.. the GW (right wing) helled well but sammy split and came back to support. B and his DW did as much as they could do.. meaning i misdeployed them.. I made many mistakes on this game... have a lot to remember brothers.. deamons were used.. ah it was a nice game and we had fun, but others have said he cheesed it? time will tell brothers..

Tanhausen Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 A brother crying over deep striking units? Straight to cell 42! Khârn AND Abaddon? AND terminators? Certainly he didn't have plague marines to hold his base... or 3x3 obliterators, right? Fine, you can take mine and I'll take yours ;) Now getting serious, without both lists its hard to tell, but I'm sure you just fell for the common "noob" mistakes. One of my first games when I came back to 40k was vs Daemons... and I said, hey 7 DW squads ought to own the place, go full deep strike! My... did I die fast xD As for Khârn and Abbadon, yes they are mincing machines... but they usually don't have that much mobility. So at bases, I'd probably reserve 1 DW squad and a full melta biker unit... place my base in a corner and deploy EVERYTHING else in the free corner, far away from my base. And that puts your opponent in a tough call: go for my army or for the objective? If he's smart, he'll focus on the objective... but you'd be surprised how often people get obssessed with the burn, maim kill thingy... If he comes to me, I'll just zoom around, baiting and what not to pull him away from MY objective... so the DW squad can land in turn 2+ and claim it peacefully. As for his base, I'll mess around as much as possible and pray/play for a last turn contesting unit... or 3. Obviously its easier said than done... just giving some ideas :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234162-abbaddon/#findComment-2819925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Micky Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 thank you brother Tan.. the advice is noted sir.. in our next conflict with chaos, I will deploy a GW line.. and use DW/RW.. but also use DP's with some heavy DN's... don't u lvl this game.... will drive u mad..? but is great to play. I have some very nice models.. aka.. tanks/dreds thx for your help Tan, we'll talk sometime brother..

Brother Immolator Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Brothers i have to tell you something about terminator squads loaded in land raiders.A revelation i had in one game that costed a black templar opponent a crusader,8terminators and a terminator chaplain.I say this because it might help brother Micky. So convinced was he of the invinsibility of his war machine that made the mistake of allowing his crusader and cargo to split from his main force to go and wreck havoc to my castled up devastators providing heavy bolter fire(an old quirk of mine to always deploy a HB squad).This was not left unseen by my ravenwing brothers.I had a 6 man ravenwing squad totting meltas and the sergant melta bombs. In two rounds and after i lost tone battle brother to the crusaders infernal firring,i surrounded the crusader and blew it to kingdome come.Now let me remind you that with proper deployment around the crusader(our bikes are a bit large models) the enemy cant deploy any termies outside the wreck due to the fact that they have large bases and need to be 2 more inches away from us.That means instant death. A difficult ploy but it works if the enemy hasnt seen it again.But it requires a large squad or at least two small ones.I was lucky with my rolls.
