I was making moves I normally wouldnt make to acheive the points (like tossing TWC on a Objective rather than into Cultists or having my Wolf Lord charge a Havoc unit alone).

Valor Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Nice report, thanks for sharing! Looks like your TWC wrecked face. Out of curiosity, how did you Stormwolf lose two hull points so quickly to the havocs? Bad rolls or did you chose not to jink?

KiltedMarine Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Nicely done! I like seeing hard-fought games like this one. I'm enjoying Maelstrom as a mechanic, personally. Looks like it turned out well for you! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294996-wolves-vs-crimson-slaughter-2k/#findComment-3774080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 I *think* my opponent and good friend Rayray may have been taking it easy on me, as this was the first Maelstrom game I played and only 3rd game of 7th ed. I saw him earlier run circles around a Ork player using the Daemonolgy powers, essentially bringing in 2 new units every turn. (I asked him point blank if he did, which he denied. I doubt he would as we've gamed together for years and got a good rivalry going) He ran Biomancy against me, but couldnt face down the Thunderwolf Pack Leader. I know I caught him by surprise a few times, such as the Ven Dread with Axe+Shield making a 10in charge into his Lord's Biker unit, or my Wolf Lord surviving a round of shooting from the Oblits all by his lonesome. The Thunderwolves surprised me, as I am used to everybody having a counter for them. the lower cost and added special CC weapon really adds to their punch. The cards were really in my favor, with rarely a turn going by I couldnt add a few points to my total.
