Airshows over stadiums-

[mughi3]

Well its been a while since i have posted a batrep for 40K, it's a little hard to get a game in at my LGS since many people have shelved their armies because of 6th. lots of other games have been getting attention on the table. i have been play testing some house rules and such to make all armies viable again by combining the best rules of the last 3 editions, thats still a work in progress. so in the meantime:

 

 

I shelved my favorite themed army(seige list IA 10- badab war) for my salamanders since it does nothing but die in 6th.

 

i went ahead and built up a force around the concept GW is basically making people take for workable armies-flyers and infantry....... low and behold it works. :huh:

 

 

So here is what i tossed together-

 

HQ-

X2 epistolary libby with terminator armor, storm shield, force weapon

 

One had gate of infinity and votex of doom while the other took gate and vegence

 

the rest of it was pretty generic-

 

TROOPS-

full tac squad-flamer, missile, power fist, melta bomb

full scout squad-missile, fist, melta bomb, cammo cloak, half snipers

 

ELITES-

X2 tech marines with harnes and 2 servitors

 

FAST-

X2 storm eagle-las/typhoon launcher

full jump squad, thunder hammer, storm shield, flamer, plasma pistol, melta bomb

My opponant was running his eldar corsair list from IA 11 with falcons, warp hunters, hornets, warp spider, and a couple fighters.

 

Its a pretty tough list since almost everything is AP2 and S8 in his list.

 

We ended up playing a pretty simple 12" deployment kill point game.

 

 

 

He won the roll and made me go first so i decided to deploy the scouts without their pod along wiht a libby and the jump squad

 

turn 1

i podded in the tacs and libby#2, gated the assault squad over and took some sniper shots. turn 1 was pretty lackluster other than killing most of his warp spiders. he returned the favor by taking down all but 3 of my tacs along with the libby with them. as well as all but 2 of my jumpers.

 

turn 2

i got my a storm eagle in and an empty pod. the pod landed right next to the scouts funny that since it was thiers to begin with.

 

the eagle came in and helped with a little vehicle destruction and thinned out his guardians. i managed to votex kill one warp hunter, put 2 hull points on a second in assualt and take out a falcon. my remaining tacs assaulted the prince and his guardians and stayed there for severa turns, taking down all the guardians and the warp hunters that came to their aid. the prince managed to take out the marines in the end.

 

His flyers came in as did his hornets a barrage of fire put several hits on my eagle but i jinked away all but 1 hull point glance. he worked on my remaining jump infantry and libby.

 

turn 3

i got my second eagle in repaired a hull point and proceeded to kill both his flyers and more infantry.

 

 

The game went all the way to turn 7 in a bloody tit for tat. scouts took down the last warp hunter, the hornets killed the scouts and a storm eagle -

 

 

In the end he had one prince, one falcon and his squad of hornets left. i had a pod, a storm eagle and the tech marine inside it.

we started out the game with 11 and 12 KPs repesctively for me and him. he garnerd 8 and i got 9 giving me a slim margin of victory.

Hey no one has commented on tihs and thats a shame so i will. This is a nice little fun bat rep. I appreciate your posting it as the number of batreps that get posted these days are few and far between. i wish you would correlate the pictures with the turn text. It will make the entire thing more readable and interesting. Otherwise thankypu for sharing your tabletop adventures!
