noob bat rep

[theredone85]

ok so game day over time to try a bat rep for you guys. mind you its far from great

 

my list was as per army list forum, http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=234211

 

Game 1, against vanilla marines.

 

his list was a few razorbacks, a few preds, a thunderfire some rhinos with troops, a devastator squad, a TLLC dred, a drop pod with some troops and a squad of bikes. (sorry for my vagueness i didnt take notes.

 

mission was seize ground/table quarters.

 

so i tried to deploy my vindi and most of my units up front, with some sort of cover, he deployed well back with everything bar the bikes.

 

Turn 1.

he was first off, and this it was this turn that most attributed to the outcome, he managed to zoom bikes up and pop my typhoon, the mass of shooting that followed took out a rhino and my vindicator, all before they got a chance to do anything. he didnt move much, just shot me to pieces. and his lone drop pod came in at my objective sitting squad.

 

my turn,

1 squad had to foot slog it into cover towards the drop pod to back up objective sitters. pred killed pod and took a few more shots that did squat. sent LRC forward and took out 2 bikes, one rhino moved forward the other held in cover.

 

turn 2

i hate that thunderfire cannon with a passion, popped another rhino in cover. lots more shooting, LRC stunned, by remaining bikes.

 

my turn,

pred shoots at bikes, kills another(i think), footslogging squad assaulted and killed those that DPed in and really quite uneventfull.

 

turn 3.

goddamn thunderfire cannon killed off half the troops from the rhino it had popped. lots more shooting and he started to move rhinos up to capture my side. his last 2 bike assaulted my squad on foot. killing a few and lost one(one left) but remain in CC(im down to 2 initiatives from my objective sitting squad btw)

 

my turn.

split shooting from pred saw some of his devs go down and faild to hurt dred. LRC is back on the move again towards his bulk. EC rhino moves to react to incoming 2 rhinos. and thats about it.

 

Turn 4, lots more shooting, and that bloody thunderfire cannon takes out all bar 1 from remaining squad still in cover. at this stage he pops EC rhino and i disembark using wreck as cover. he gets out of his 2 rhinos and gets ready to biff. lone bike v 6-7 initiates still remains locked. and he imobilized my LRC, but lucky they are close enough to engage next turn

 

my turn,

terms get out and bash some heads, consolidate toward his last troop in that quarter, pred moved and unloaded into squads about to attack EC, actually killing 3 off, EC squad moved to shoot but were out of range of charge. finally killed bike and still had 6 dudes left, consolidated into cover. (at this stage i am holding 2 qurters and contesting his 2)

 

Turn 5,

he thought twice about attacking my EC with his dwindled numberr but went for it anyways, hitting me with 2 squads, a total of maybe 12 men including his HQ choice. :) rolls left me with no-one but the EC left agains 6 foes. GODDAMN thunderfire aimed at my 6 remaining guys in cover taking 5 out. and he shot down 3 terms, and his pred stunned mine. (im now holding 2 and contesting 1)

 

my turn,

terminators engaged again killing the rest of troops in his section and consolidated towards his dred. the last guy left after turn 4's thunderfire ordeal joined the ec and they took down another 2 or 3 before dieing. lascannon from objective sitters failed on the rear armor of contesting rhino, as did a melta shot from the remenants of thundercannon turn 5 ordeal.

 

turn 6

pretty much just dread v terminators, not much else happend. he moved an empty rhino into each of my table quarters to contest.

 

my turn 6

still terms hang in there against dread, lascannon from objective sitters failed on the rear armor of contesting rhino, as did a melta shot from the remnants of thundercannon turn 5 ordeal.

 

GAME ENDS

 

he held one quarter, and contested the 2 i held, and my terms could only contest the other.

 

all in all if i could get those those rhinos blown up it would have been a different story, but it was a fun game none the less, and i think i did well after the catastrophic turn one to come back like i did, considering i would have won if the game ended at 5 im quite happy.

 

Pred with POTM was quite nice, debateble whether its worth 155 though. terms yet again are the greatest unit of the day, people seem to shy from them for competitive lists due to the necessity of LRC, but they really have been my bread and butter.

 

again, sorry for my vagueness but im sure most of you get the gist.

No matter what type of list you use, it takes time to learn it. The wins will come as you become more familiar with the capabilities of your army. <_<
