Jolemai Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That's a fine set of Baals you have. I guess you handle them carefully?

Bukimimaru Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 They are a hardy pair of Baals, and once I'm done with them they'll be shiny and bright. *ahem* So I went to the Worcester Wargames tourney over the weekend. The good news is that my Six up Save group had members who took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place AND won the painting competition. The bad news is, I didnt get squat. >_< The partners for the doubles games were randomly allocated and becuase one of the palyers dropped out at the last minute, I was paired with a last minute stand in. He was a really nice guy, but he hadnt played in about 8 years and he turned up using the 5th edition Space Wolf codex. I didnt mind really as it's a pretty casual tourney, but I knew from the start I wasnt going to get very far. We lost the first game against a double Wraithknight List, we lost the second game against an Iron Hands / Imperial Fist team and we won the last game against a double Chaos list. All in all it was a fun day and despite not doing so great we managed to have a couple of enjoyable games and meet some new people.

BadDice0809 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That kind of stuff makes me shake my head l. If you want to play the game, especially at a tournament, you owe it to your opponents to at least have the rules and a current Codex. Its like a team showing to the pitch and being like "we don't have jerseys, clients, or a ball. Also are we playing Football or Soccer?"

Bukimimaru Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 It was a little grating at first, but the guy was really nice and if he hadnt stepped in I wouldnt have had the chance to play at all so it wasnt all bad. :/ I really want a chance to use my new Baal preds now tho. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302989-the-redeemers-~-black-marus-order-of-redemption/page/10/#findComment-4122164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukimimaru Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Well, I seem to have lost a few posts in the server crash yesterday. :/ Oh well, spit happens. Last night I had two more Six Up Save League games. The first was a real sqeaker against Matt and his crazy strong Iron Hands list. I dont have his list to hand but it was somthing like this: Forge Father and Servitor 5 man Tac Squad 5 man Tac Squad Forge World Predetor Executionor 0_0 All 4 Assassins. This game was really close, but I managed to win by points. I didnt have much left by the end, just Big Crispin hiding in some ruins at the back, 3 Death Company and my Scouts. Matt still had most of his army standing (every time I managed to hurt his tank it just healed its hullpoints back next turn) but I killed 2 of his assasins (the Evisor and the female one that can infiltrate 3" away) and one of his Tac squads. The second game was against Jamies Space Wolves. Lvl 2 Rune PriestBlood Claws x 9 with Lucas the TricksterWolf Guard Terminators x 5 with wolf clawsWolf guard x 9 - bolter & chainswords, wolf clawsVenerable Dreadnought - blizzard shield and great fenrisian axe. Poor Jamie was getting the most appaling rolls, and most of his Terminators were dead by turn 2, shot to death by Scouts. XD I won this game as well, getting really lucky with my cards. I actually managed to score 5 victory points when I punked his Warlord as I rolled a 6 on the D3 Kingslayer Card and a point for the Decapitating Strike Card. :D That puts me at the top of the League with 7 wins out of 7 games.

Bukimimaru Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 I played my first "beer and pretzels" game for about a month last night. It was really nice to play the way I like best; a nice fluffy list with no pressure. :) As my league / tourney lists have all been MSU armies with lots of jump-packs, I thought I would try something completly different, so I went with lottsa tanks! :D My buddy Charles is very new to the game and wanted to try our a few of his new models, a Dakka Flyrant, an Exocrine and 6 Tyranid warriors. He also had a second Flyrant with a Stranglethorn Cannon, a Carnifex with claws and a Heavy Venom Cannon, a Haruspex and a craptonne of gaunts. I've never really run a tank heavy list before and although sitting at the back and shooting wasnt as much fun as running in face first, there was a satisfying feeling blowing all those big bugs off the table as they run up the mid field. I won, mostly becuase Lascannons wreck Tyranid Warriors which were the only things keeping the gaunts in synapse. Had a really great game, knocked back a few beers and got to try our some new units. All in all, a great evening.

Bukimimaru Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm preparing a short narrative campaign across two or three games with buddy of mine who plays Tyranids. In preperation I've written up a little bit of a backstory to lead into the games. As usual its a pretty silly so if you like your fluff acurate and grim-dark I wouldnt go much further. ;) --------------------------------- Black Maru has taken great pains to conceal the whereabouts of his mighty fortress, “The Domain” from the records of the Imperial Scribes. Officially the ‘Chapter’ of the Redeemers is located on Baal, but in reality the shady Order of Redemption operates on a small, terraformed asteroid, hidden amongst millions of others in the great “Belt of Pebbles”, an asteroid belt spanning thousands of miles across the Omelette Sector.With the help of Brother Corbulo, Maru has established himself a base of operations to conduct his (occasionally) legitimate work on behalf of the Sanguinary priest. Since being forced to run the Order of Redemption by Brother Corbulo in penance for some undisclosed act of quasi-heresy, Maru has spent his time trying to look busy and do as little as possible whilst keeping the Sanguinary priesthood off his back. Things have been quiet for Maru over the last few months; A Xeno planet purified here, a Blasphemous Cult purged there, but nothing too taxing. All that was about to change. After the successful genocide of the indigenous “Fluffy-wuffies”, a pacifistic colony of rabbit-like humanoids, on the distant planet “Snuggelor XII”, Black Maru is relaxing in his beloved garden. The garden is a large glass domed arboretum attached to the southern wing of The Domain and it is where Maru spend his downtime, meditating amongst the quiet, peaceful trees. Screeching though the intercom system comes a peace-shattering announcement:“Incoming message for you sir!”Muttering profanities under his breath, Maru reaches into his robes and pulls out his trusty iVox.“Open Skype” he bellows into the device.“Sorry, I didn’t catch that.” Replies the device.“Open Skype”“Sorry, I didn’t catch that.”“forfeth’ssake... Open Skype”“There are 32 restaurants or bars in this quadrant fitting that description. T.E.I.Friday’s is the highest rated.”“No, OPEN – SKYPE”...“Sorry, I didn’t catch that.”Maru rolls his eyes and he inputs the command into the machine manually. On the screen appears the green and pixilated face of Corbulo. “Ah, brother, to what do I owe this pleasure?”“Maru, I have a task for you. We had some researchers stationed on a moonbase, doing test on some blood samples, trying to find the origins of the flaw. We’ve had no contact with the base for some time and we need to make sure the samples haven’t fallen into the wrong hands.” “Ugh, can’t you ask Gabe to do it?” “Firstly, the great and fearsome Chapter Master Gabriel Seth deserves your respect and secondly we have already checked several other options before turning to you. Gabriel was otherwise engaged.” “Probably an anger management therapy session.” “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. I’m sending you the details now, I expect you to get me those samples Maru, and while you are at it, find out what’s happening on that Emperor-forsaken moonbase.” “Your wish is my command.” Maru grumbled dryly. “You know, you could be a little more grateful! If Inquisitor Patton had his way, you’d be –“ Maru quickly shut the iVox down and slipped it back into the recesses of his robes before Corbulo could finish. Maru hated being reminded that he owed anyone anything. Storming into the armoury, followed in tow by Captain Red Fox, Maru starts preparing his wargear.He turns to Red Fox and says:“Get some bug spray”“Bug spray, sir?”“Come on Fox. A moon base? Missing scientists? A mysterious silence in communication? This thing has Tyranids written all over it.”“If you say so sir”Maru grunts as he slings his mighty battleaxe over his shoulder.“I’d bet the Angel’s Wing that we’ll be knee deep in Genestealer excrement before the day is through.” ------------------ Not sure when the first game will be, but I'll get the lists and mission type up asap.

Bukimimaru Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Bat rep done and pictures ready, I'll try and get it up this afternoon, depending on how busy it is in the office. ;) The game type was relic on a 3x3 board. As the story was set on a moon base, we usedvery sparce terrain (a few craters and an occasional cluster of trees) and at the far end was an Ageis Line and a Bastion, to represent the front entrance to the moonbase. We agreed the Tyranids should start with the Sacred Blood Samples (the relic) and the Redeemer's should have to get in there and remove it by force. Points: 550 Redeemers: 1x Librarian - Terminator armour. 5x Assault Terminators - 5x pairs of Lightning Claws. 5x Tactical squad - Heavy flamer, Rhino. 5x Tactical squad - Heavy flamer, Rhino, Teleport homer. Tyranids: Tyranid Prime - Devourer, Talons 3x Warriors - 2x Devourer, 1x stranglethorne cannon. Talons 15x Termagants - 15x Devourer 8x Genestealers, Broodlord. (Doh, forgot to take a full army shot of the 'nids. >_< ) Full bat rep to come, it was close. real close. Place your bets folkes.

Bukimimaru Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hey dudes, I'm looking for some advice. I've got a game tonight against a small Dark Eldar Army (1500 points I reckon) and I'm not too familiar with the DE codex as a whole. I know he will be bringing something called a Talos Engine (?) and I'm bet my bottom dollar he'll have a bunch of Jetbikes as well. If Dark Eldar play anything like Eldar, I'll be wanting my Fragioso dropped in to light up the bikes, but what would you reccomend against DE in general? Any help is, as always, greatly apreciated.

Charlo Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Take the anti poison relic armour and a flesh tearers strike force and engage troll face! But seriously, DEldar are a mix of powerful shooting and assault on light fragile units and slow heavy assault units. The later the game goes and the more bonuses they get. By turn number, with +1 for a haemonculus in the squad: 1 Nothing. 2 Feel No Pain (6+). 3 FNP (5+) 4 Furious Charge (Fun on Incubi!) 5 Fearless (do not forget to Go to Ground on round 4) 6 Rage They have a lot of ap3 and most of thier tank busting is S8 lance, so AV 13+ is somewhat redundant. They're very fast too, they play like a scalpel, sharp and precision. But, the good news. Heavy flamers and flamers will eat most of these guys, and if aimed into a flimsy open topped raider case D6 hits into the inhabitants. Now picture that fragioso with heavy flamer shooting. Nice. A final thing to watch for is the webway portal, perfect deepstrike for units. Hooe that helps!

Bukimimaru Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Thanks man. I hadn't spotted there was an anti-poison relic in the FT armoury, thats pretty sweet. I've just finished my third Flamer/combi-flamer/heavyflamer Tac squad so it looks like my troops choice is an obvious one. I dont suppose they have much in the way of MCs or 2+ saves, so might as well leave my Grav Bikes at home. This power through pain thing looks to be troublesome, I usually ignore the scary things and spend the first few turns nuking all the weak units / troop options then spend the rest of the game grabbing objectives and dodging the nasty stuff, but that doesnt look like that tactic will do me much good here. I guess the best thing to do id identify the nasty stuff and take it out quick before it gets even nastier.

Charlo Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Aye, I meant to write about grav but forgot in my haste. Nothing in the codex has a 2+ save bar one character and even then only Incubi (heavy elite combat troops/ lord retinue) and the aforementioned Talos have a 3+. Talos are T7, 3W, 3+ but with FNP, so Grav is certainly an option for them as they can be taken in squads of 3 and Grav will really just strip them down far more efficiently than anything else - after they are gone Grav can be used for vehicles. Luckily I don't think he can webway portal these - as ICs can't join units of MCs, so they are slowwwww Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302989-the-redeemers-~-black-marus-order-of-redemption/page/10/#findComment-4144516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukimimaru Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ooooh, so this funky-dunky Talos Engine he's been banging on about is a MC? I might pack a few grav bikes after all. He's just finished painting it (beautifully, I should add) so I'm hoping to punk it off the table before it can do anything. It's practically the law that newly painted models have to die on their first game, right? So I'm thinking somthing like: Biker Captain - Fist, shield, Arty-armour. 3x Grav Bikers and a Multi-melta attack bike. Big Crispin in a droppod. 2x tripleflamer tacs in Rhinos That leave me with a few hundred points left to spare, what am I missing? (I know he has no fliers yet, so I'm not worried about anti-air.) I wish my Sicarian had arrived in time, that thing was made to take out Jetbikes.

Charlo Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Can you get a hammer on the captain? I'd imagine not as hes your ETL model right? The Concussive could work against his high I character (if they have EW...) Big shame on the Sicaran, that thing would've muched his army by itself. All of his vehicles would've just set themselves on fire at the sight of it. Baal Predators? They can take a similar role to the Sicaran, or use the flamestorm to make it target priority! If he has no flyers a Raven could be ace to bring in Crispin and a unit of DC or something. You could also consider using the FTSF for the 5 point armour upgrade to be immune to poison on your captain (I'm not sure where the rules lie on it taking both that and artificer armour so that's something to check out) but he could maybe tank entire squads shooting! Here the +1I from a BSF or OBJSEC from CAD probably aren't worth it too much, as anything he wants in combat with you is I5 or higher and anything he doesn't is just a pansy (S/T3...) and he won't be sitting on objectives, he'l be trying to murderise you. Plus the FT warlord traits are DOPE: 1 Incandescent Fury: Warlord and unit get Hatred - Chaplains can already do this, so make sure you take advantage of that WT re-roll if you use the FTSF Detachment. 2 Savage Rage: Get Rampage, making them kinda better against mobs. 3 Avalanche of Destruction: Warlord and unit have HoW, for added charging hilarity. 4 Unstoppable Momentum: All units within 12" have Crusaders USR, good against everything but loyalist marines with the added sweeping advance bonus. 5 Berserk Frenzy: Warlord and unit get Rage USR, which is...alright. You're at least not completely forced into making really long charges. 6 Blood Frenzy: Feel No Pain. On the plus side, your priest now gets 4+ FNP.

CaptainHelion Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 You definitely won't be able to take the relic armour, imo. It's power armour, and artificer armour replaces your normal armour. Raw, it might be OK, but I'd say it's hitting That Guy territory. Just take the Relic and a bike, and laugh as his s1 poison shots can't hurt you at all Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302989-the-redeemers-~-black-marus-order-of-redemption/page/10/#findComment-4145130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukimimaru Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Well, my Dark Eldar playing friend threw his back out, I ended up playing against a Snake-bite themed Ork army instead. I ended up running the following list: Captain on a bike, fist, shield, arty armour. 5x Bikes, grav, grav, combi-grav, multimelta attack bike. Sanguinary Guard, sword, sword, sword, axe, fist Vindicator Tac squad, Flamer, Heavy Flamer, Combi-flamer, Rhino Tac squad, Flamer, Heavy Flamer, Combi-flamer, Rhino Assault squad, Melta, Melta, duel inferno, droppod. Assault squad, Melta, Melta, duel inferno, droppod. Devistators, 4x Plasma cannon. Wow. This list REALLY packs a wallop. The speed of the list was great for a Maelstrom game, but with the anti-hoard flamers, anti-MC (my opponent had a squiggoth) grav-guns, anti-tank Meltacide squad and pure assault force of the SG, I was able to run rings around my opponent. I was however fighting against the most horrendous rolling you have ever seen. Turn one, two of my devistators rolled 1's to get hot and 1's to save. -_- My opponents rolls were staggeringly good, managing to hit consistantly with his BS2 Orks. Game ended at an impressive 18-4.
