Chalx the grey Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I just came back from my first big game of 6th, at 2000pts, against 'Nids. The guy had a psyker spam army with 4 broodlords, 6 zoanthropes, the doom of Malan'tai, all with BRB powers, and two BIG ravener squads, of the rending kind. His HQ was the parasite with a grup of jump warriors. No MCs at all. I was running a footslogging list with a Lord on TW (a Canis Conversion! thanks to my girlfriend who took the pic!), a Rune Priest and a Wolf Priest on bike. He took rulebook powers for all his psykers so his raveners were buffed to the max, even with the Rune Weapon (Broodlord were hiding just out of range). Turn 1 his raveners were already in my face. It took me 4 casualties of my own side, inc. a termie WG to figure out that shooting a Domed (telekinesis) squad that is so close is not such a good idea. Still, I get to shave some raveners before they strike. Turn two he drops the doom in range of 4 squads and kills 5 models outright, getting 5 extra wounds! Oooops! Luckily his assaults with Raveners didn't end well for him due to some bad rolls (not so many rends), and GH being at almost full strength, with banners and TDA wolf guards with fists... my opponent couldn't believe my squad (in the open) just ate 6 raveners in CC. The second ravener squad had similar luck after assaulting my second big GH squad, thanks to the intervention of my bikes, but only the TDA WG and Rune priest were standing there. I could get rid of the Doom thanks to my big buddy Lord with S10, BUT I wonder, if he got Iron Arm from Biomancy (that's what he wanted, but didn't get it), what would have happened?? Big win at the end taking all objectives and wiping him out but for a moment at the beginning of the second turn I really thought I was doomed... :( MVP was undoubtedly my Lord (with 15 wolf retinue), whe took out the Parasite, the Doom and a genestealer + Broodlord squad... and only took a wound! Challenges are a joke with this guy BTW... Special mention to the Rune Priest, easily second best keeping psychic madness at bay and instakilling 2 raveners with his rune weapon!

Token Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Good looking model. How was your thunderwolflord equipped? Saga of the bear? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257110-downing-the-doom-of-malantai/#findComment-3128526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 seems like you had fun with him! perhaps a saga of the hunter might be in order! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257110-downing-the-doom-of-malantai/#findComment-3128552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalx the grey Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Good looking model. How was your thunderwolflord equipped? Saga of the bear? Yep, it had had the full package, including necklace and wolf tail talisman. Saga of the bear is worth it with so many ID stuff going around, not just because of the not so common S10. seems like you had fun with him! perhaps a saga of the hunter might be in order! It was a nice game my first against Nids in fact! My opponent was having most of the fun at the beginning with me killing my own guys thanks to his Dome and the spot-on drop of the Doom, but at the end he was not so happy :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257110-downing-the-doom-of-malantai/#findComment-3129045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
