Hopefully I will be able to write a batrep.

 

 

Here are the mission rules:

 

Weapons of Mass Destruction

 

 

Deployment

Vanguard Strike (diagonal line is randomly determined)

 

 

No Night Fight

 

 

Teams

Each team consists of two members. Each member can bring up to 3000 points:

 

Double Force Organization

Allies

Fortifications

Forge World 40k Approved

 

Command Tokens

Each team has one command token. If a team does not use it then they earn one free kill point at the end of the game. A command token can be used to allow an HQ attached to one friendly unit infiltrate or outflank. If used the command token also allows one dice of the owning team to be rerolled during the game. A team can elect to use the reroll at any time during the game.

 

 

Primary Objective 1 – Combined Kill Points

To earn a kill point for a destroyed enemy unit both members of the same team must have inflicted damage.

 

Primary Objective 2 – The Relic

The Relic is worth four kill points.

 

 

TURNS

There are four turns. Each team has 30 minutes to complete a turn. On the roll of 4+ on 1d6 there is a fifth and final turn.

Any comments/suggestions on the mission ?

[Greyall]

Can't help you with the strategy part, but you mission of having awesome models has been thoroughly accomplished.

:)  Thanks !

Wow dude this army is friggin gorgeous!

[geordie]

Loving your army mate, the painting is superb. As for your list I like the theme of the terminator led armoured spearhead. No idea how effective it'll be but I'm sure everyone at the event will thoroughly enjoy playing against such works of art. Massive thumbs up.

 

Lupercal!

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Thanks guys ! :) I'm planning to write a batrep.

So I got in my game over the holiday weekend... was teamed up with a Templar player that rushed up his entire army first turn except for terminators which he left out in the open. Opponents shot down all his terminators and exploded all his land raiders their first turn... yeah it was one of those games. Anyways I got in another game yesterday versus a competitive Necron army playing 2250 points. I am starting to develop some tactical insight using SoH terms... they are pretty darn good.

These dudes are awesome BO, make sure you take some pic's during battles for the bat reps!

I had another game versus versus shooty Dark Angels-Space Wolf army... Ended with a minor victory. Only one melee... Thunderwolves were shot down before they ever got to swing.

I had an excellent game at 2250 points versus a Gundamwing Tau army this weekend with four Riptides. My army had only 17 terminators total, one Spartan and two land raiders Phobos. I am planning to write the batrep soon. It was one of those very exciting games that went right down to the wire ! :)

Here is the batrep versus Tau:

Four Riptides to contend with... Very close game.

which model's bit did you use for the terminator praetor's topknot.  It looks a lot better than most of the other CSM or Ork Nobz top knots used on cataphractiis.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

It's actually from the Forge World Abbadon model.
