Grey Slayer packs start at 10 models, 9 Slayers and the Huscarl. :(

 

Just remembered Terminators can Deep Strike though and I do want some Tartaros Termis

Your right, I don't know how I misread that!

 

I have too many Slayers in my Rhink pack so gotta axe them and redistribute the points

got in a 5k game today against Uberwolve. He brought his 30k Dark Angels 

 

Maelstrom Mission 3

 

I wanted to try out the new Vlka Fenryka, but didnt want to rush out models...so I brought the Raven Guard instead.

The List

Praetor with jump pack and Raven's Talons

Paetor in Tartaros Armor and Command Squad

 

Contemptor Talon 1x3 in DropPods

Mor Deythan Squad 1x10 in Darkwing Storm Eagle 

Apothecary 1x3 with jump pack

Terminators 1x5, Tartaros

 

Tactical Squad 2x10 Drop Pod

Assault Squad 1x10

Plasma Support Squad 1x10 Drop Pod

Volkite Support Squad 1x10 Drop Pod

 

Dark Fury Assault Squad 2x10

 

Leviathan in Drop Pod

 

 

The pre-game table


 

The Dark Angel deployment


 

the Raven Guard deployment (I only found out after the game that a null deployment isnt legal in 30k. Crap)


 

Turn 1, the Dark Angels go first and jockey themselves into a position to better deal with the soon to arrive Raven Guard


 

Uberwolve's very awesome looking Contemptor


 

the first of the Raven Guard arrive,but the plasma guns of the Support Squad and guns of the Contemptors do little damage


 

Turn 2, The DA Contemptor moves to smash the puny Plasma Marines


 

The Raven Guard decide to crash the DA deployment zone, with the Leviathan, a Tactical Squad and Dark Furies with Praetor all arriving


 

The Praetor and Command Squad land awkwardly due to a Mishap while the other Tartaros Terminators land in a very bad position. The Assault Marines land to counter the DA Leviathan (as I forgot the moronic ruling on squads with grenades)


 

the second Dark Fury squad lands deep in my deployment zone to counter the Outflanking DA Veterans 


 

the Darkwing flies past the DA Cataphractii squad and Leviathan that landed in the DA deployment zone...


 

to challenge the DA Lightning 


 

the Tactical Squad and Leviathan combine their firepower to kill a single Rhino...yes, the game is going that well for me


 

in the Danger Zone, the Darkwing makes short work of it's foe


 

the Contemptor smashes into the DA Heavy Bolter squad


 

Only for the DA squad to lick into combat

Mid game carnage


 


 


 

The Tartaros Terminators are in a VERY bad position


 

and they're gone


 

My Praetor and Dark Furies charge into help the now immobilized Contemptor Dreadnought by charging the Choom-Nought, Tech-Marine and Heavy bolter squad


 

the other Dark Fury squad charges the DA Cataphractii squad, kill 4 of them and get locked in combat


 

the Techmarine is killed, all but a Master of Signals and lone heavy bolter killed, but the Dark Furies and Praetor get locked in combat with the Choom-Nought


 

The Praetor and Command Squad destroy a Rhino in combat, only to lose a Terminator to the exploding vehicle


 

the Leviathan opened fire on the DA Praetor and Terminator squad, killing 6 of them. the Darkwing fires on the Vindicator squadron but does not damage much

The Vindicators take aim at the Leviathan...


 

the Contemptor falls to the guns while the Leviathan loses the grav-bombard


 

the last of the Plasma Support squad stands tall and halts the Rhino in a Death or Glory!


 

then goes to ground to survive the lascannons of the distant Land Raider


 

the Dark Furies and Praetor are still locked with the Choom-nought


 

The Mor Deythan emerge from the Darkwing to melta and assault the Vindicator squadron while the Levithan crashes into the DA Praetor


 

While taking multiple hits, the Cataphractii armor proves enough to survive. The Praetor's thunder hammer deals damage to the Leviathan though!


 

the Mor Deythan arrive to mess crap up


 


 

the Dark Furies and Contemptor move to pinch the DA Jetbikes between them


 

and in a single round of combat, turn the jetbikes to shreds


 

round 2!


 


 

the DA Contemptor avenges the Jetbikes by Phosphexing and gunning down the majority of the Dark Fury squad

THe Leviathan starts cleaning up house!


 

the Mor Deythan unleash a massed flamer barrage against the DA Veterans and Chaplain, turning them all to slag


 

after knocking the DA Leviathan down to 1 hull point, the Dark Furies engage it in combat


 

the Praetor engages 5 DA Veterans, purging them with his Paragon Blade


 

the Praetor charges into the Master of Signals, his Talons proving enough to slay the DA hero


 


 

the Leviathan continues on his rampage


 


 

and the Furies emerge victorious!


 

the Praetor uses his massacre move to collect an objective


 

the final score of the game


 

The Raven Guard emerge victorious!

 

All for now, Im dead tired, will add more commentary after some sleep.

 

Thanks for reading.

This game was a lot of fun! I had WKL on the ropes for the first two turns or so. Then failed to solve the riddle of the Domination. My plans fell apart. the Cards had more or less been kind to me and not so good to WKL. Turn 3 or 4, or when ever, that changed for him.  I enjoyed my list. having several units reaching to the far ends of the table to attempt to grab objectives was very good. My jet arriving on turn two was too early. I could have done a lot with that aircraft had it not been destroyed so quickly. The acid rounds seem scary but didn't live up to the hype this time. My goal was to play smart.  Look at the board and my cards.  It went ok. My dice were't amazing but they weren't the worst. I did fail  a charge...:blink.: 

but we're not going to talk about that.:facepalm:

Looking good guys! I was hoping you would have started your SW, WLK ;) :P

 

Since you do so many games at your abode, have you thought about investing in a fat mat? They're pretty awesome and I think they enhance the feeling of your game!

UW did a fantastic job of keeping me from doing anything useful for about 3 turns. 

Turn 1 a multi-melta, 10 plasma guns, 2 Kheres Assault Cannons and 3 grav guns couldnt hurt a Drop Pod and Rhino.

I was dismissing more cards than I was scoring. It was ugly. 

 

Luckily as the cards became more plentiful I managed to both score cards and eliminate key units at key times...and profit off of a failed Leviathan charge by UW. (Seriously. he needed 3 inches, rolled snake eyes. Used fleet and rolled  another 1) That was pretty key and allowed me to start pinning down UW's more elusive units long enough for the Praetors or Dark Furies to do the blade work.

 

@Bladewolf: The Dark Furies...I have a legit squad of 10, and will never purchase another. The fingers of the lightning claws are too brittle and the models made for 32mm bases. As Im not going to rebase my entire RG army for a single unit, if I go crazy and want a 3rd unit i'll just kitbash them.

 

@Depthcharge: I had hoped to as well,and planned on it up till Friday night. But then I got disgruntled over several parts about the Wolves (which has already been covered elsewhere) so decided to shelve them for now. I'd rather just pretend they dont exist then get continally frustrated over them. 

I've never looked into the Fat Mats, as I have 2 of the GW mats, but that is certainly an option for continued gaming. Thanks!

 

Some intial thoughts about the game:

-I feel as if I had screwed up the podding order. Both of my Tactical Squads carry vox units, and both came in later waves. That was a mistake from the get go. I have to be smarter with their deployment in the future.

-I could have sworn Orbital Assault gives jump troops Hit and Run. I had counted on that to get out of a sticky spot, and instead had to rely onUW's bad luck.

-This may have been the best showing of the Mor Deythan yet. They destroyed the hated Vindicator tank squadron and a power sword filled Veteran unit and Chaplain

 

All I can think of at the moment.

 

Thanks for reading everybody!

I would encourage you to try out your Wolves at least once before passing judgement though :smile.:

 

Im frustrated by the lack of model support, not the rules. The rules seem fine, mostly. 

 

Im not going to assemble 60+ Grey Slayers and chop through my bits just for FW to finally release a kit of leather masks and bare heads.

I feel your pain there lol, I've got an unboxed BoP waiting for Grey Slayer bits. Plus I want 10 deathswon but I don't know if I should wait 'till they get a kit or convert them.

 

I'm still confused as all heck why they previewed all the Tsons stuff, but nothing for the Wolves (except that contemptor.....). But hey we're Wolves players so we have no right to complain :tongue.:

Well, I mean the SW community will complain about the cool helmets even when they're released dontcha know? :P ;) you're a hard lot to satisfy judging by the volatility of the tactica thread haha.

 

My advice to any wolves players, buy something you want from FW now, because they have a terrible habit of releasing something awesome and that you want a week after you order...it's a documented effect on /tg/

When they release something to buy, I'll buy it.

 

That said, let's avoid discussing that in any more detail. It's been talked about too much, and I dont want to devote more time to it

All the tanks are still very good for us is how I feel it will shake out I've not gotten a game in with them yet but I plan to fix that soon, I also plan to add another vindicator to my colection so I will have 3 for a full squadron. After that I'm looking at predators to support those and my typhon while I start to sort out my lists.

I'm checking the tracking number about every 8 hours, expecting some movement.

 

Apparently patience is not my strong suit.

 

Im not totally sold on the Wolf skull on the Deathsworn, but wanted something to give significance to the mk3 marine torso...especially as the legs are so awesome.

I was wondering if it was too big...

I think it is looking good, need to get some more of the FW torso's to go on mark 3 legs...

 

My problem with the mk3 torsos is that there are only 5. 5 separate, unique pieces that totally lose their appeal to me when they are repeated across an army.

 

I was thinking of picking up a set for an Command Squad, but not much more than that.
