Get a BIG table and make it a hexagon shape.

 

2 sides each,  big free for all with a central objective to be claimed.

 

I remember in the days of yore GW did something similar with 4 armies fighting towards a ziggurat and a trophy in the centre.

 

The extra rule was that a unit could only be "activated" on a roll of 4+, or if it was shot at or assaulted.

 

Winner is the one at the top of the Ziggurat at games end.

 

If you wanted to add more spice to that particular taco.. Each player rolls a D6 at the start of each game turn and highest first to lowest last, so the order changes each time!! Makes ganging up harder as you do not know when you get to move fight etc...

Evening all!
 
Got an upcoming game against the nefearious Rayray.
 
5k, bringing the Rout again. I wasnt happy with how I played them last time, so I want to get them back on the table top and get more experience using them...especiallu heavy armor. Thats something Im not used to taking in significant numbers.
 
my list (no peeking RR...as if we hadnt already discussed the list in detail)
 
-Praetor in Cataphactii Armor with Command Squad in a Land Raider Godhammer
-Librarian, lvl2

-1x10 Terminators in Indomitus armor in Spartan
-1x10 Terminators in Cataphractii armor in Spartan
-1x10 Breachers in Land Raider Godhammer
-1x10 Legion Veterans in Rhino

-1x1 Contemptor Dreadnought with tl Lascannon in Drop Pod

-1x1 Fire Raptor with Hellstrike Missiles, Reaper Autocannon Battery
-1x1 Whirlwind Scorpion
-1x1 Leviathan Dreadnought with Cyclonic Melta in Drop Pod

-1x1 Typhon


So, the list is terribly small. I mean for me, it is pathetically small. So thats going to be a hurdle to deal with. Im used to being outnumbered by RR, but not by this much.
Everything is meched, which may prove a problem on my terrain moderate board.
That said, the amount of hull points im putting on the table is kinda nuts
 
All for now,
WLK

what exactly makes him Nefarious other than his choice of army ?

Well, for one "nefarious" is a fun word that has sadly fallen from common usage. So I try to use it when possible

RR could have chosen any traitor army, but he chose the architects of Heresy. They deserve a little extra hate than the rest.

More importantly, RR was once a Son of Fenris. He betrayed the oaths he took to the All-Father and cast aside all notions of brotherhood.

 

For these acts of heresy most foul, I've made it my mission to destroy him on the table top...while helping him build a more effective army.

Hey all,

 

got a game vs my arch-nemesis yesterday.

Points: 5k

Mission Maelstrom 6

 

I brought my Vlka Fenryka (Basic Legion with Stubborn, Pride of the Legion RoW)

 

-Praetor in Cataphractii Armor with Command Squad in LR Phobos. 

-Librarian, lvl 2

 

-10 Cataphractii Terminators in LR Spartan

-10 Indomitus Terminators in LR Spartan

-10 Breachers in LR Phobos

-10 Veterans in Rhino APC

-5 Recon Marines, Sniper Rifles, Cloaks, Scout Armor

 

-Contemptor Dreadnought with tl lascannon

 

-Leviathan Dreadnought with Storm Cannon

-Whirlwind Scorpius

-Fire Raptor with Reaper Batteries and Hellstrike Missiles

 

-Typhon Siege Tank

 

 

The deployment of the Vlka Fenryka


 


 

The Word Bearer deployment


 


 

The Scout move of the Flesh Hounds


 

Table view


 

What the Typhon sees


 

what the traitors see


 

 

 

Turn 1 was fast and dirty. Mosty us jockeying around the table, me moving the Raiders to put more guns on the Knight, both Bloodthirster and Daemon Prince Flying. The Word Bearer Volkites wipe out the 5 strong Recon Marines with ease.

I put 3 Hull points of damage on the Knight, but it's ion shielding shrugs off everything else

 

Up close shot of the Bloodthirster, because I like it

Turn 2

A pack of Plaguebearers land right behind the wall of Raiders


 

While further back, a pack of Gal Vorbak emerge from the Warp. Both Bloodthirster and Daemon Prince start swooping as the wounded Knight swings away from the Word Bearer army and towards the Wolves


 

the rest of the damned move forward as fast as the Rhinos allow them. 


 

The Fire Raptor deep strikes behind the Chaos army, unloading all of its guns into the rear armor of the 3 Contemptors...doing a single glancing hit.


 

The wall of Raiders move to open LoS to the Knight, while the Leviathan climbs multiple floors of the ruin to engage the Bloodthirster


 

the Veteran Squad moves out of their Rhino to impose themselves between the Plaguebearers and the Scorpius

 


 


 

the table at the end of Turn 2. Despite taking the Typhon, 2 Spartans, 2 Phobos, the Scorpius and the Leviathan (i thought killing the knight was more important than charging the Bloodthirster I had set up.), I did a single hull point of damage to the Knight

Turn 3

The Bloodthirster (wisely) ignores the Leviathan and charges towards the Typhon while the Plaguebearers and Gal Vorbak move to dual charge a Spartan


 

Yea, it looks bad for the Rout


 

through glances from the Thud gun battery and 2 Assault Cannons, the Praetor's Land Raider is destroyed


 

the Bloodthirster, despite his Flesh and Armor bane, failed to hurt the Typhon


 

The Daemon Prince is luckier however, and his Armorbaned Smash attack kills the Breachers Land Raider


 

The Gal Vorbak and Plague bearers charge the Spartan, who previously took 2 Hull points from the Word Bearer Leviathan's Grav-Bombard


 

the daemons,both neverborn and Possessed, destroy the Spartan


 

the snapshotting Fire Raptor opens fire again into the rear of the of the Dreads, does no damage


 

on their turn, the Rout Terminators charge the Bloodthirster, lose 1 of their number, and send it back to the Warp


 

Jarl Kjaran, Tormund and the Command Squad all charge the Plaguebearers while the 10 strong Cataphractii charge the Gal Vorbak


 

the Veteran Squad charge the Daemon Prince, do 2 wounds to it, but lose 3 in return. They hold due to the Standard re-rolling their Stubborn


 

The Plague Bearers fall to the Jarl and his squad, the Cataphractii lose a guy but kill all but 3 Gal Vorbak

Turns 4/5/6 (the game was moving very fast and I didnt have much of a turn)

 

One volley of Volkites targets the Praetor, Libaraian and Command squad, saving all but 1.


 

Though only 2 survive, the Veterans drag down the Daemon Prince


 

the Word Bearer Contemptor charges the Spartan, it's power claw proving to be more than the armor can handle. Scratch another heavy tank


 

the snap shotting Fire Raptor opens all of its guns on the renegade Knight


 

What the Knight sees shortly before being glanced to death


 

the Cataphractii Terminators move to charge the enemy Leviathan, but fail the charge due to an especially poor charge roll and the -4 (-2 for terrain, -2 for Cataphractii armor. I rolled a 3, so actually ended negative)


 

the Jarl and friends avenge the Spartan, and use the victory roll to snag Objective 1


 

Turn 5

What the Jarl sees. The Volkites on the second floor, a squad of melta guns taking aim


 

The Word Bearer Sarge pours a combi-melta and power fist into the Typhon, but does not damage


 

The Typhon and Scorpius shell the Word Bearers Cataphractii but only kill 3 or so dudes


 

after the Jarl and his friends are nuked, the Melta Gun squad and Thud Guns combine their shooting and kill the Typhon


 

table at end of the game


 


 


 

Three Breachers and the Rhino from the Veterans race across the field for line breaker


 

The final score of the game. 


 

The Word Bearers win 22 to 9!

Thanks for the report !  Looked like a fun game , Ray Ray seems to do well against armored lists ! 

The sight of a traitor knight makes me angry though O - O  I feel like I need to avenge this grave injustice even if it did get glanced to death by what looks like a pretty sick up and coming converted fire raptor 

Again tho guys , thanks so much for sharing your games , it was a really welcome flip through after a hard 12 hour shift. 


also RayRay be like

WLK, yikes!  That one looked grizzly.

 Can't tell from the pictures but how far forward did you deploy your line of tanks?
I see that the buildings made it a little cramped.  
It is cool to see Rayray win a game.

Sorry, I thought i replied days ago

 

 

@Uberwolve: I deployed as far forward possible as I could. I figured I needed to to get shots at that Knight asafp. I had hoped to knock it down by turn 2 then focus on the army itself. RR had a phenominal turn of invul saves 

The buildings were awesome actually, hindering and helping both of us. The problem I had was the tanks themselves. I was continually blocking my own LoS trying to get that damn thing.  Im treating them like bunkers, not tanks and that has to change.

 

It wont, not anytime soon. Im putting the Wolves on the backburner, much like FW.

 

 

@Bladewolf: Thank you for your comments. Its seeing replies,comments and Thomas the Here-tank that make posting reports worthwhile.

 

I may have to try to work on my Knight...for reasons.

Have you ever thought about using another Legion's rules to represent the Wolves? Personally I think it's kinda fun and a nice way to field lovely grey minis while still having a decently competitive force. I like to use SoH rules, they seem to fit the wolves fierce "up close and personal" fighting style imo.

 

I've also tried alpha legion rules to represent SW's "cunning tactician" aspect.

Some of that is sorta what I mean. Armour in a city. Not really very sound with out infantry support. Also you have a lot of mobility your not using. If you had away to start.get closer to Rayray's army then just back up and shoot. Almost looks like you need more fast attack units. Speeders and aircraft. 

I'm sure you'll figure it out before too long. 

I guess you need a dedicated Knight killer. what ever that is.

I've thought about it, but decided against it. Half the reason I started 30k is to use primarchs, something a loyalist like me next had access to in 40k. Using a different legion ain't a big help there.

 

I got enough points in the RG to keep me busy until this winter or whenever Fw decides the time is right to pillage my bank account.

 

Worse comes to worse, I can always start that traitor army I've been debating for so long.

The game is played by genetically enhanced super soldiers battling fungus spawned green monsters, bad anime knockoffs, and created from our very nightmares.

I don't think sound logic matters very much, but if I did, I'd point out my building sized tanks all had dozer blades or equivalent, so city terrain wouldn't be a handicap

 

Besides, I had much more room to move, I just got fixated on that silly knight. My fault, I should have known better.

Don't think I'm being critical of you. It's just food for though.  You do your thing. I couldn't really tell how much room or movement you had/did from the pictures. 
I know we plan our armies in slightly different ways. 
I'm getting excited for when you get your Wolves book. My army of monsters is looking forward to it.

Quick, possibly outdated question that popped out at me.

 

When your Cataphractii went to charge the Leviathan... -2" for terrain, sure, but are you sure you get a -2 for Cataphractii armor?

 

To the best of my knowledge, only Hardened armor imposes a -1 to charge.

 

Other than that, looks like it was a blast! Always fun to read these huge, sweeping battle reports.

Quick reply (I'm at work so cannot fully reply)

 

Flint, you had me double checking my copy of the generic legion book, and you're right.

There is no -2 for cataphractii armor!

 

So I may have screwed myself out of a very important charge, at chainfistint that beast would have removed the grav bombard and saved a terminator squad!

 

Crap crap crap crap crap!

Yea, RR beat me like a drum at speed metal concert. After his glorious win, he got a new job just to avoid our bi-weekly Saturday fights. The wimp.

 

and I love the design as well. RR did it for me. 

 

When it comes to making more stuff to kill each other with, we are unabashedly generous with each other. 

 

Whenever he recovers his courage, maybe he'll field the grav equipped Speeders I gave him. 

 

Grav weapons, making a mockery of heavy armor since M30
