Bukimimaru Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Finally made a start on those Sternguard I knocked together nearly a year ago: one down, nine to go. And this years ETL vow: I, Bukimimaru, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete 5 Sternguard vets (1 Powersword, 4x Combi-Plasmas and 1 Plasma gun.) and their accompanying Drop pod. from Codex: Blood Angels of total value of 215 points on or before August 15th, 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to the Blood Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end. Pics of the current (primed red) models will follow this evening.

evildrcheese Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Nearly fell off my chair at the "your name is stupid. Change it". Brilliant. Also your Sternguard dude looks so much like one of mine (style wise, not just the model) I was convinced you'd broken into my house and stolen my models. But you haven't.

Servant of Dante Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Wait, how is a Blood Angel Space Marine infiltrating a planet's nobility?

Bukimimaru Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 The third Six Up Save league has kicked off and I still haven't had my first game. Tomorrow night I'm headed down to my FLGS to take of Charles and his shiny new Tau army. The rules for the S^sv league can be found here: http://sixupsave.blogspot.co.uk/p/campaign.html He usually plays with lots of tanks and Crisis suits, so that's what I'm expecting to be up against. Here's my list: Librarian (Jump Pack, ML2, Force Axe, Digital Weapons) Death Company x6 (Jump Packs, Power Sword, Fist) Fraggioso (Flamer, Fragger, Droppod) Tac Squad (Combi-flamer Heavy Flamer, Rhino) Tac Squad (Combi-flamer Heavy Flamer, Rhino) Assault Squad (Double Inferno Pistol, Melta, Melta, Droppod) Assault Squad (Double Inferno Pistol, Melta, Melta, Droppod) Turn 1 I drop down both Meltacide squads and open up a couple of tanks. Turbo-boost both Rhinos up in his face, one on either flank. The Death Company will stick to cover and hopfully out of sight. In theory, the Meltacide squads should have done enough damage to be his main target. He'll kill them easily, but as long as they've crippled his tanks then their deaths will not be in vain. Turn 2 Big Crispin drops down, and smashes any light infantry he has, Death company move up hiding behind the nearest Rhino squad. Once I've got him in combatwith my DC he wont stand a chance, I've just got to hope the meltasquads and Rhinos distract him long enough for my DC to get into charge range. Thoughts?

Lucumon Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Tau has the chance for a lot of interceptor... and the meltacide might not even have a chance to fire. Does this dude play Gundam wings or fluffy woobies?

Bukimimaru Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 He plays mostly Tanks with Crisis suits. He doesn't really like the Riptides and rarely takes much infantry other than Kroot.

Lucumon Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Oh, then run Angel's Fury and get some DSing units in CC turn 1. Edit: Or Angel's Fury with Skyhammer to deny him overwatch?

Bukimimaru Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Wow. The redeemers made a pretty impressive comeback considering they've not seen much action this year. I manager to beat my opponent 26-3! He took a Riptide, two squads of 3 Crisis Suits, a Hammerhead and a a big crisis-suited HQ. (not sure who it was, but it wasn't Farsight). My Pods dropped in turn one, the Riptide fluffed all the interceptor rolls, so my boys got in unscathed and obliterated the Hammerhead. The Rhinos made a wall for the Death Company to hide behind. Turn 2 they were close enough to Charge down and brutalise the Riptide. By turn 3 all my opponent had left was 3 crisis suits, Which I ignored and focused on grabbing all the objective for the rest of the game while he picked off a few tac marines here and there. A good start to the league.

Bukimimaru Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Looks like my next game is against Jamie #1, the Space Wolf player. He likes to take loads or drop-pods filled with Drednaughts (the one with the Axe and Shield as well as several Heavy Flamer variants) combined with Thunderwolf cavalry and Wolfen. Obviously, as the game is only 1,000 and restricted to one CAD / Detachment, this should limit his options. What kind of list should I take to combat a drop-dread Spacewolf army?

Charlo Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Bring your own pods. Bring Karlean. Bring a Callidus Assassin (if possible with the Detachment restrictions...) Enjoy a 4+ Reroll to Sieze to Guarantee first turn. Your pods come down first and so can CHARGE first. You also get re-roll to reserves while Karlaen is on the table!

CaptainHelion Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 That would certainly mess with him! Aside from that, your best bet is probably shoot his Thunderwolves and Wulfen to death, and charge the rest. Although the Wolves are quite good if you charge them, what with Counter-Attack and their counter-charge formation bonuses.

You also get re-roll to reserves while Karlaen is on the table! Sadly no Calidus as we are restricted to using only one formation / detachment. I'm liking the idea of Captain Karl and some Thunderhammer termies. That's about the only thing we have to reliably kill off Thunderwolves.

CaptainHelion Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Vindicators double out Thunderwolves quite well, but the short range brings them altogether way too close for comfort, with the sheer threat range of the mangy lads.

Bukimimaru Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Taking a stormraven would be another option, but that would leave me woefully underpowered until it arrives turn 2-3. The speed of the thunderwolves and wolfen make it difficult to rely on reaching turn 3 if 1/3 of your points are off the table.

Bukimimaru Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Progress for ETL vow has been slow. Should be done in time for cut off. Got my first time in about a month coming up vs orks this Friday, might inspire me to get my arse into gear. Playing my buddy Charles whose been playing for about 2 years now, but this will be one of his first games using his new Ork army.

Bukimimaru Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Wow, what a busy week! Got my vow complete, had a friendly game with Charles against his new Ork army and Tthis afternoon I attended Six Up Save's "Escape from Eidolon" doubles tourney. I won't go into that as Charles and I played dirty Xenos, but we came in 5th out of 18 teams and we were only a few points away from 3rd.

Bukimimaru Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm playing against a friend of mine tomorrow against a pretty gnarley Deamonkin army. I've decided to go with a list thats totally different to what I normally field: Librarian Dread. Big Crispin (Fragioso dread with flamer) in a Pod Cassor the Damned in a pod Assault Terms with claws Sanguinary Guard x7 (1 fist, 1 axe) All flamer tac squad in a rhino Dakka Baal pred Storm Raven with assault cannons and hurricane bolters. I know he likes to play infantry heavy so I've taken lots of 2+ armour to take the sting out of his mass ap3 attacks. The Daemonkin (broadly speaking) don't have a huge amount of anti-armour, so I've taken plenty of dreads. Dakka Baal and stormraven to put out tonnes of bullets against infantry. Libby Dread and Cassor hunt Monsters. Tac squad boost between objectives as they are drawn. Thoughts?

Lucumon Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I've found that flyers are hugely useful in winning the kill point game against KDK... I've always thought that mobility and dakka are the way to go again these guys rather than trying to match their HtH prowess.
