MithrilForge Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Good idea Tiger9, the demonkin need to handled a wee bit differently...shall we say with a bit of cunning and guile @targetlock, nice going, kinda funny how khorne either gives a pounding or receives one there's no middle ground with them... stupid chaos ! yeah the wolves were the one i thought would have handed you a new one but well done on keeping it a draw cheers Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315018-ad-mech-40k-gaming-league-progress/page/2/#findComment-4219851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmimzie Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Be careful of the daemon kin, as instant-blood thirsters are very mean. Maybe focus on getting units down but avoid outright killing them? they wouldn't get blood tithe points then while helping you get objectives. Maybe. Otherwise, good job on the victories! Glory to Mars! I'd say the opposite. Without kastelans if anything gets in melee that unit is gonna get stomped. If you kill a unit and he summons another it wont beable to charge until the next turn??? Thern you kill that unit on your turn and repeat. Though my demonkin experience usualy ends with a concede after i pop the D thirster.

Targetlock Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 mithrilforge: yeah the wolves were tricky mainly because of the knight, his other units i slowly wore them down. I've played daemonkin but not played against them, his force consists of a daemon prince, maulerfiend, heldrake, khorne berserkers in a rhino and a chaos marine squad, so no slaughtercult formation or cheap expendable stuff. I realise that if I can immobilise the maulerfiend then that can take it out of the game quickly same with the heldrake and hopefully take out the rhino and the daemon prince quickly, though i don't know what gear it has except armour and wings. got to make sure my Kataphrons are protected well as they are my deadliest units especially to marines.

Targetlock Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Sadly my player wasn't available last weekend so hopefully play him this saturday. was was able to do a large game using 2000pts of ad-mech allied with dark angels against dark eldar. i was able to try out some of the Mechanicum units :) i worked out the following: > Thallax are pretty great, tough with nasty guns and a pain to infiltrators and cover saves. > Castellax are pretty good, especially with their High BS when upgraded. > Thanatar is awesome :D the look on my opponents face when told what it did and how tough it is. Was finally able to do something about those pesky high jink saves and cover saves, made a mess of a lot of the units and even killed off 3 flyers in one turn with interceptor fire (his 5000pt force has about 7 flyers in it!) will do a seperate thread about the Mechanicum stuff i think :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315018-ad-mech-40k-gaming-league-progress/page/2/#findComment-4229315 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmimzie Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Seems really good man keep it up!! What units were your stand outs?

Targetlock Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 standout units for me were the two destroyer units, especially the one supported by the dominus. the vanguard were good but low range let them down mostly, the vanguard didn't do much and would have preferred more vanguard.

mmimzie Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 You mean the rangers didnt do much?? Yeah skits need transport something fierce. That or hordes of vanguards and moving them up the board very agressively so the only safe place is the pit of thier deployment zone turn 1. Then if you had targets turn one, you should still have vanguard left turn 3 at which point your rad guns will blot out the sun!!! Great job Maggos Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315018-ad-mech-40k-gaming-league-progress/page/2/#findComment-4249608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targetlock Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 yeah I mean my vanguard If I could do the league again I would have used my Mechanicum stuff as I'm doing much better with them at the moment. only lost the 1 game with them so far and that was an apocalypse game with my ad-mech and knight as allies. most recent game was 1500pts versus Necrons where I tried thallax for the first game :) which I like as cheap and effective, didn't finish the game but at the end of turn 4 my only losses were a few thallax :D while I killed a c'tan, wraiths, tomb spyder, swarms, 2 large units of warriors (I quite like the Ordinator bombardment ability, wiped out a warrior unit with it on turn one) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315018-ad-mech-40k-gaming-league-progress/page/2/#findComment-4251710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
