When the first one broke I didn't bother with it.  I thought it added character and the Deathwing contingent would appreciate that one better.  Then the second one broke in the exact same spot.  I tried to glue it on but it didn't stay.  Oh well.

Wow that ic on the trike looks awesome. How did you build it?

The trike is made by adding two front wheels at the back, and filling the gap where the original wheel was with two land speeder search lights. The Chaplain is just a Ravenwing champion (from the old Ravenwing box, with the head of the DV set chaplain, mace from the veterans set and some blink.

I can post some extra pictures of him if you want, I very proud of that model smile.png

An awesome looking force.

Thanks a lot!

Hi!

So the tournament was a total bust sad.png Only 12 people came so the TO's decided that we will only play one day instead of two.

Anyway on to the games :

My first opponent was also a Dark Angels player, be he was a HERETIC! msn-wink.gif

His list was :

Sammael

5x3 Black Knights with melta bomb on sarge

Dark Shroud

4 Wolf Guard Battle Leaders with Runic Armour, Power Fist and Storm Shield

2x1 Servitor

Whirlwind Scorpius

When I saw the list I knew it will be an uphill battle, but I won the roll off for first turn, and deployed in the left corner, only putting my small melta squad on the right side. My opponent mirrored my deployment putting everything in a corner just opposite my army and leaving only one black knight squad with sammy on the other side.

My plan was to kill the Scorpius in the first round, and block his movement completely in his first round with my drop pod marines and scouts, so I scouted everything under his nose, he scouted only the Sammy's squad and....stole the initiative sad.png

So that was game. After that six I completely forgot to take pictures (as always when andrenaline runs high), and he of course assaulted my command squad and chaplain with two of his Wolf leaded black knight squads. All in all it was a masacre.

Here's a picture of his turn 3

http://i63.tinypic.com/be7m3b.jpg

As you can see all I got are the speeders, the devs, vindicator, and the flyers. He lost one black knight squad that my chaplain killed thanks to Ini5, and one Wolf that my command killed with rending before they died. I also managed to destroy the scorpius with my podded marines and take down one bike each from 3 other squads.

My devs then got surrounded and destroyed as did my speeders and vindicator

Here's my turn 3 and 4:

http://i67.tinypic.com/6z38gg.jpg

Only the flyers are still alive.

And turn five :

http://i64.tinypic.com/6zufxf.jpg

My last gamble was to come down with flyers on both emperors will objectives to at least tie the secondary, alas the game went to turn six and I was tabled

28-5 for him.

Round 2

Second game was sure to be much easier after such a big loss right? And it was smile.png

I got an opponent with a very pretty admech skittari force. Here I have to apologize because I have no idea what he was playing. Admech is the only codex that I have no interest in whatsoever and despite watching countless battlereps featuring this army I don't know what they do and what everything is called smile.png

So he had something like this :

Some kind of HQ

2 units of basic infantry one five and one ten men strong

3 units of those tracked grav cannon thingies

2 units on big bases with 2 wounds per model, one of which had infiltrate

a unit of 2 big robots with shooting weapons and a small guy

big walker with all the skyfire weapons

Here's the deployment (the green dice are objective markers)

http://i68.tinypic.com/n53jfs.jpg

http://i65.tinypic.com/birm0k.jpg

I had first turn, and he did not have any combat threats so I scouted like this :

http://i66.tinypic.com/1g3uwn.jpg

My first turn was good but not the best, I was hoping to destroy the robots and the tracked grav cannon guys but my dice had a different idea smile.png Still it wasn't bad. I killed one robot, and 3 cannons, some of those big bases guys and whirlwind deleted the small infantry squad.

http://i66.tinypic.com/orp35i.jpg

He in return assaulted my command squad with the robot, my tactical squad with the big infantry unit and the last two of the big bases guys and shoot a few of my bikers.

http://i68.tinypic.com/2crnajr.jpg

I hit and runned with my command 16" into his backfield, and my tacticals held.

After that it was almost game over for him. My command assaulted the big infantry squad helping the tacticals to clean house, my scouts assaulted his walker and kept him in combat till the last turn doing 2 hull points in the process and losing 2 of their number. My flyers came and each destroyed a units of grav cannons, and my devastators destroyed his robot albeit in two turns.

Thats after my turn 2

http://i67.tinypic.com/1ttvf7.jpg

http://i65.tinypic.com/21kx9gy.jpg

In turn three I destroyed his infiltrators with my command squad and procceded to his last model on the table - the walker in combat with my scouts. I got there turn 5 to finish it off, and the game was over with a big win for me : 31 to 2

Round 3

Last game was another one against Admech with something like this :

2 of the HQ guys

2 units of grav cannon tracked thingies

2 units of haywire tracked thingies

3 units of 5 of the normal infantry

2 units of 2 fast assault walkers

3 units of one big walker one with skyfire, one with str10 blast and one with something like an inverted conversion beamer

and a strange character with an axe

My opponent played the second game against that Ravenwing traitor from my first game. He checked my list and thought for full five minutes if he wants to play at all...

Anyway he finally decided to play and he won the roll for first turn. Like the guy I played the second round against he deployed in a line (first mistake) at the deployment edge (second mistake) and he put his fast assault walkers in outflank (third mistake). I rolled master of ambush on the strategic table so I infiltrated all 3 bike squads and my devastators behind a big LOS blocker in the middle denying half of his army the opportunity to shoot me.

http://i65.tinypic.com/rh1wsh.jpg

Then we both scouted, and he assaulted my command squad with one of his 5 men infantry squads with that strange axe guy, which now I realise he wasn't allowed to do. Anyway, he destroyed the Devs rhino and did a wound to my chaplain in combat but that was it. I failed the hit and run roll for my command squad which I later decided was a good thing.

In my first turn I needed to clean as much of the left side as I could and before anything I had to destroy that middle big walker because he had all the skyfire weapons, one of which was an ignore cover one. My opponent told me that skyfire can shoot normaly at skimmers which I totally forgot about, so he had to die because he was the only real threat to my dark shroud. So I droped my Tacticals behind him but managed only to immobilise him with the grav cannon and fry my sarge with the combi-plasma smile.png

Aside from that most of my plans worked :

http://i64.tinypic.com/21lpj06.jpg

http://i67.tinypic.com/fyopec.jpg

Second turn for my opponent wasnt very lucky. I rolled hot on saves so he was able only to kill 3 of my devastators leaving the grav cannons alive, and he only killed one of the tactical combat squads plus a few of the second one but again leaving the grav cannon alive. One of his fast walker units came on and run, and for some reason he detached his warlord and the other HQ guy from the tracked guys squads.Oh, and he killed my whirlwind with his walker. That was pretty much it. In combat with my command, my chaplain took another wound dealing none back(2+save on the axe guy), but the rest of the black knights destroyed his infantry so he lost combat and was driven over.

In my turn two my flayers came on the right side to engage and destroy his second grav cannon squad. They didn't fail me. My bikers and grav devs finished clearing up the left side of the table killing his two last tracked guys and the walker. My command squad went in the middle of his deployment covered by my darkshroud, and assaulted his warlord, the last tracked unit with haywire weapons and the skyfire walker. He challenged, and I accepted with my apothecary since my chaplain had an ap3 weapon and wasnt able to touch his warlord. The chaplain killed almost whole squad of those tracked guys alone, rest of my knights killed hist walker, and my apothecary died. His warlord failed his LD and was driven over.

http://i68.tinypic.com/2dqs01.jpg

And that was too much for my opponent. He threw his dice and started packing looking very angry and saying that he doesnt want to play anymore...ehh.

So yeah, I've spent 3 hours(one way) in the car and booked a room for two days just to play two and half games....a total bust.

Only small consolation is that thanks to max points from that last game I came second with only 2 points less then the guy who won. But it's a really small consolation.

Thanks!

Well in the first game, my man of the match had to be the last black knight which killed a Wolf on a wolf. smile.png And maybe the whirlwind since it took out two out of the whole three enemy knights that I was able to kill smile.png

In the second game my mvp where the scouts! Yeah my command squad killed most of opponents army, but how brave where those scouts! Assault that big bad walker and keeping him in combat for 9 phases! smile.png

Third game I dont know, it was really to short to tell.

But in all the games the flyers where awesome. I love storm talons, I loved them since they came out. And now there is a formation that let's me play them with minimal tax and they come automaticaly in turn two. It's like a dream come true msn-wink.gif

I wont even mention the command squad with Chappie. 2+ rerollable is sick when the enemy doesnt have a counter.

Anyway, here are also some pics of my Chappie for all of you that wanted to see him :
