rdemings Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just a little update, the demonkin player from my last game is now in first place with a 6-2 record, at 7039 points to my 6060 points with a 6-0 record. i've got 2 games lined up this week, with possibly a 3rd in the works. The dark angel player from my 4 round has challenged me to a rematch, and will be running a similar list. we'll see if he's taken my advice on his list building... ...and then there's Coastal Assault coming at the end of the month in sunny Florida...

Frater Cornelius Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 A little question about your bikes. The regular sort. How did they perform? Did you run them 6 in one unit? Or did you include the attack bike and Combat squad them? I am still not certain what to think of regular RW bikes compared to their WS counterparts.

rdemings Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 I run the bikes 6 strong, and the attack bikes as a separate unit. They've both worked really really well for me.

rdemings Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Final preliminary game was a quick 10-0 victory top of 3, took 9 librarians. It was dirty. Made the finals with a first round bye, and will be playing the winner of an ork/deamonkin game. I think the deamonkin player will be fielding angrath which could be brutal to watch. I will be bringing either a warhound or the fellblade with the ignores cover legacy...

rdemings Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Played my last few games, and ended the league with a 10-0 record, and a perfect score. Played my semi final game against an eldar player with de allies, and lots of d flamers. Killed the Archon, spirtseer, and 2 wraithguard with interceptor. Player concedes top of turn 5. Finals was against the ork player, and he brought weird boys and was summoning deamon... took a lions blade and sky hammer here. Player concedes top of turn 5 with 1 meganob left on board. Victory for the Lion! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317000-dark-angels-success-in-league-action/page/2/#findComment-4326955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalleron Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 were you playing 1850? A skyhammer and lions blade could really only happen at that point size?
