Chefzilla Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 2nd ACR, allied with Tau, crush the fowl forces of Chaos. 8000 point game. Yesterday We decided to have an 8000 point game. 4 players, IG and Tau vs. CSM.StormlordCCSPCS2 squadsHWT AutocannonsHWS Autocannons ScionsWyvren (2)Basilisk (1)Pask in PunisherVanquisherOrdo Malleus Inquisitor Lvl 2 PsycherMaster of OrdinanceAstro PathNaval OfficerThis was all about trying something different.. Normally I hate psychers but yesterday was awesome. Prescience on Stormlord and then at one point I psychic shriek a Raptor Champion! All told I lost a Chimera and my Scions and not only did we secure all objectives but we tabled them. That Stormlord is wicked!

WarriorFish Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Congratulations Chef! A good win, the might of the Guard once more punishes the unworthy :D You can't beat the table top for where models belong as they looked great amongst the terrain showing the traitors who's boss :tu: The Stormlord is a great tank anyway but it must have been pure murder against CSM - even more so with the blessings of the warp on top... It always pays to switch things around and experiment, do you have any ideas for what you may like to try next?

Chefzilla Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 The owner of the shop has challenged me. Everyone knows I play armor heavy so the owner of the shop I frequent has challenged me to a 100 point infantry only game. Which I think will be fun. And I think I want to experiment a bit more with the psychers. There are some very interesting twists there.

march10k Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The fowl forces of chaos? http://www.jrn-works.dk/gallery/GWchaos/LordOfChange/1.jpg /edit/ 100 points of infantry? Can anyone besides guard even field a legal squad for under 100? LOL.... Yeah, I know, five marines...blech. Let's see....forward sentries with two plasma guns=100pts. Park them in ruins for a 3++ and watch them wreck anything else that turns up!

The Sororitas will be arriving shortly to expunge this transgression. I look forward to building up my guard forces, so that I can take on more varied threats with impunity.

WarriorFish Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 You don't have a choice Ulrik, you see you don't collect a Guard army - it's far more important than that ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305273-the-archenemy/#findComment-3991293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 If I take your meaning, it means that I have no choice but to keep building. Until I have an army capable of destroying all of the imperium's foes. Which admittedly, is appealing...

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 For now I think a couple of small infantry platoons (For the HWT) A steel host formation, a Rampart Detachment, 2 more valkyries, 2 vendettas, 2 more squads of vets and a couple of baneblade chassis. I think that's a good goal, oh and another Knight. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305273-the-archenemy/#findComment-3992496 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 My plan for building my guard is incremental. First I'm going to get enough tanks to field a basic steel host. Then, I'll get the infantry to make that a CAD. Then I'll get a baneblade. Then I'll get a second steel host, and then infantry to make that a CAD, then a second Baneblade. Then I'll get the second knight. I will then field a supersized steel host, with two small CADs with a baneblade each, and a 2 knight det, plus elysian grenadier vets in valks backed up by Vendettas. Then I will play against Chaos, and wreck them with sheer firepower.

Chefzilla Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 I need 5 more Lemans so I can finally start running my armored battlegroup. The funny thing about Steel Host is the need for a Hyrda. I'm not a fan of the Hydra model. This GW love affair with open topped vehicles gets my treadhead hackles up. This has me very excited though. http://store.forgeplanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_70&product_id=81 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305273-the-archenemy/#findComment-3993448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I kinda like the Hydra, though I'd like it more if it were a boosted (s6, heavy 20?) punisher with interceptor and skyfire (like the vulcan A/D platform, 'Murica!) instead of a mobile quad gun (ZSU-23-4, blech soviet crap...). Also, my guard kinda need some A/D right now... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305273-the-archenemy/#findComment-3993758 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many tanks do I have...at the moment? 9 chimeras, 2 hellhounds,2 griffons, 2 russes, a pasquisher, 2 demolishers, an eradicator, a shadowsword, and one tank in the shrinkwrap...but I have "lost" a few over the years to accidents like leaving models in the car in summer heat (barrel droop is devastating). And that's with DA, sisters, and tau competing for space on the painting table... /edit/ ...nor does that count non-tank vehicles like sentinels and fliers...

march10k Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well....I actually field like half of them in an average game, so...more tanks in the inventory means more choice, not more on the tabletop, lol...sorry I figured out so early on in the process that demolishers work for me...and Pasquisher didn't really exist till this codex, lol But, hey, I have this: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305273-the-archenemy/#findComment-3994101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
