mughi3 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Well not much in the way of pictures today...as I darn well forgot to take any as the game was pretty enthralling. One of the necron devotees who occasionally stops by hit me up for a 40K game at 2K points. His list IIRC -battle forged .unbound C'tan (lords of war) .2 death laser heavy flyers .one transport flyer .death marks .couple warrior squads .3 wraiths .annihilation barge My list -unbound-dark angels .X2 tech marines full harness with 2 servitors .X3 mortis contemptor dreads-double las/auto cannons/ and ceres assault cannons .venerable land raider Prometheus .venerable land raider Achilles .2 deathstorm drop pods with krak missile upgrades .shadow sword w/heavy bolters and targeters http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/unbund1_zps7d8cf9bf.jpg The table http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/tb10514_zpsc1cf78a6.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/ta10514_zps5778cd14.jpg We decided on something simple just kill points- random deployment we ended up fighting end to end I won first turn and setup. Turn 1 was the prelude to the storm I moved into position and shot all I could at his wriath as they came straight down the main road. killed one and wounded the other 2 His turn 1 -he moved up his C'tan, barge and wraiths his C'tan shoots and immobilizes a contemptor(the one with the assault cannons of course staring at a wall trying to stay hidden). and puts 4 hull points on the shadow sword(side hits funky angle but it lived) Turn 2 .both death storms drop in(they don't get drop pod assault in case your wondering) thanks to a re-roll from the Prometheus's improved coms I reposition to get shots on his wraiths and C'tan in the process the tech marine in the Prometheus disembarks and repairs the immobilized contemptor. The wraiths go down in a hail of heavy bolter fire......and then the money shot. Hit with the shadow sword volcano canon.....praise be to the emperor as I rolled the magic 6+ 10 wounds to the C'tan which then explodes for a radius 14" blast of S10 AP1 goodness it hits the same contemptor...I make my save, it hits a death storm pod and he rolls a 1 for armor pen, it hits the Achilles .... and rolls a 3+ for armor pen, hits his annihilation barge, pens with a 5+ and blows it up His turn 2 his warriors are hiding so he rushes up his flyers who all come in. the other 2 contemptors open fire(isn't skyfire and intercept great! even if it is a bit pricey). the auto canons score 2 penetrating and one glancing hit on one flyer, he fails his 3 jinks and it goes down in flames. the second takes 2 penetrating hits from the las contemptor. tearing off his destructors and stunning him(he negates the stun with living metal) He fires his transports destructors at one of the deathstorms and manages to kill it. he uses the death ray off the other to hit the second deathstorm and the Achilles. he pens the pod and rolls the 1 which becomes 4(open topped and AP1........) the machine spirit is not afraid. he fails to glance/pen the land raider again. My turn 3 tech marine and friends gets back into his land raider side sponson shot off the shadow sword, heavy bolter round scores a single hit for a glance, he jinks, he fails, down second heavy flyer( I shot him with the assault cannons and the achilles to but their aim wasn't true). Prometheus unloads on the transport, scores enough glances to take it down Necrons concede. His loses- .C'tan .3 flyers .annihilation barge .3 wraiths My loses- deathstorm drop pod .6 assorted hull points between the pod, dread and shadow sword. I was really sweating that C'tan I got really lucky, if he had gotten another turn I think it would have been a different game. Position here lies so...at the end of the battle- http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i112/mughi3/batreps/kb10514_zps1014e4d2.jpg He then went on to battle an elder player in a 2+ hour slog fest that saw the elder player barely squeak out a victory in objective points. but thems is all xenos and we don't care about those dirty alien scum.

librisrouge Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It's true, we don't care about those Xenos scum. Glad to see the Shadowsword work out for you. How well does it usually run? I've tried my Baneblade and been disappointed but the D weapon on the SS seems like a great equalizer.

mughi3 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 The superheavy tends to be a bullet magnet, it rarely does anything special with the changes to D weapons(although the 3 TL/heavy bolters always make a good showing) and my inability to roll above a 1 or actually hit, even with targeters. Even so, what it does is scares the enemy in the off chance it does what it did tonight, forcing them into focusing on it so the rest of my army can bring the pain.

Polythemus Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Ctan is one of the nastiest baddies in the buisness. Sounds like you got pretty lucky there. Was it in range of the superheavy? Seems like it could do a number on it, especially if it gets off the charge!

Oh yes it was danger close. right in front of the rectangular building by the drop pod. he used his 18" special move attack to get close as soon as he could.
