Neutron laser & cognis heavy Stubber [50pts]: Cognis heavy stubber [5pts], Neutron Laser [45pts]Onager Dunecrawler [7 PL, 130pts]: Broad Spectrum Data-tether, Icarus Array [40pts]++ Total: [142 PL, 2499pts] ++ We played an turnament setting with scoring objektives every turn, Killpoints and some modified extra missions. We Rolled for the 18" Bubble Deployment (nr. 3) and i got first turn. I infiltrated my Dragoons with the 9" move and had an 8" charge to the Exocrine at the end. I peppered the Swarmlord and the Hivetyrant with fire but my helverins wiffed alot so they only took a few wounds. Kastellans moved so they dont get that much shoots through but they reduced one gauntscreen to one gaunt. The dragoons attacked and pushed the exocrine to one wound (+2 to hit stratagem). The Warriors took 2 Wounds I only scored two objektives. In Return the Swarmlord and the tyrant moved to the knight and drivebyed the dragoons with smite. the Neuros cast also smite and catalyst and onslaught on the Swarmlord. I let one Dragoon explode and took the exocrine with me. Swarmlord loses also another wound. Hiveguard shoots my dragoons and thenn the knights. One dragoon survives with 2 HP. Knight only loses one. In CC the Knight gets charged but he lives with 5 wounds remaining 6+++ FNP helpes alot. In return i hurt the Tyrant and got him in the deathgrip for only 3 wounds total. :/ The rest of his army kills my last dragoon. He scored 3 points. On my second turn i retreat with my knight and let the drills drop into his deployment zone. The Melta of the drills and the Plasma Vanguards reduce the Hiveguard to one Guard. Shooting kills the Swarmlord and the Tyrant. In his turn he let the reserves come which was the lictor the tyrannocyte with 20 Genestealers and the trygon with 30 hormies and the two rippers. He realized that most of his troops are out of synapse range and so get an -2 on the charge. His Lictor and Absorbers tried it but the absorber loose 2 bases from the neutronlaser. Lictor also got vaporiced with an lucky 6 damage roll. The Trygon managed the charge on the Icarus Onager but got no attacks through his invulsave. The Genestealer managed the charge to my knight but he survives with one HP! Warriors and Neurothrope charged one of my termites with little succes. (although smites from two neuros reduced it to 7) 5 Genes attacks 5 of my vanguards and kill them. In my third turn i moved with the last vanguards to the hiveguard and grilled it. I got rid of the Genestealers but 3 with the castellans and the help of one helverin. Cawl and the neutron onager and the other helverin killed the trygon. Hoplites attacked the warriors and killed them all 3. The termite attacked one neurothrope but it saved all damage. The Termite grilled 3 of 5 Genestealers and smashed the other two in cc. The Vanguards then charged the Biovore on the mission objektive doin zero damage to her. The Neutrononager charged the Hormagaunts to bind them in cc and to keep em away from the castellans. In his turn he manged to kill the knight and one termite with smites. there is not much left so he goes with his absorbers after the vanguards and kills one. The rest do little damage to the onagers. In my fourth turn i wipe nearly the rest up and so my opponent called the game. Major Victory for the Adeptus Mechanicus! I liked the Ad Mech part as every unit did a thing and was usefull. Call mainly buffed the castellans but they need it. The Perceptor was not that great and the to hit buff is nothing you will realy need. a third helverin may be more usefull. The Main weapon is okay but i only got horrible rolls for the nummber of shots. Dragoons died fast but got their points back verry quick. they are still playable as stygies. Hoplites are okay and can deal with medicore assault units and marines. I hope you enjoyed the report. More will follow.

Riot Earp Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 The Tournament is over and i had 3 great games against smooth opponents. First Game vs Adeptus Mechanicus Sygies Close Combat Army with 2 x 3 Dragoons and 2 Ikarus Onagers + Blood Angels Smash Captain, Mephiston and Lemartes plus 3 scouts and 12 DC. I screened my Tanks and hoped that the onagers wont break through. They inflitrated both (9") and both units got into cc with my first screen of guardsmen. They got wiped out and the Enginseer which also infiltrated managed to tie my punisher. The DC Charged one guardsmen squad before the knight and tied my Sentinel and Pask. The knight smashed 7 of the dc in cc and deleted them and mephiston in his shooting phase. He also destroyed one squad of onagers. The battlecannon russ dezimated the other squad of dragoons. His Smash captain tanked the attacks from the castellan and then destroyed him with just 1 wound alive. Knight explodes and did only one damage which the captain made his fnp for. Damn! In the next Turns i manged to destroy the captain and lemartens and manged also a Tabling in total with the remaining leman russ. Game 2 was Castellan Astra Militarum Mirror. It was an repartee where the one won which got the other castellan down fiirst after wiffing both of our knight shooting phases his castellan charged mine an was smoked in the overwatch . In the ongoing turns i manged also a tabling. In Game 3 i had to fight against nr. 1 pointswise and faced a mirror again. This time he baited me to use my rotating shield early and destroyed my knight in turn 2 with mainly 2 punisher russ which did 18 wounds alone... I missed cover by 0,5". I wished i had moved him with his toe onto the tau building. In the ongoing turns i got wiped and i dropped down to place 9 from 22. I could smell the cup it was so close but i faced a better player than me and he earned it no question.

Riot Earp Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Small Report from the last Team Tournament. I was spontaneouly asked to attend to an Team Tournament. So i paired up with an Dark Eldar Player who brought alot of Venoms and Warriors along with 2 Archons and two squads of scourges. I played myself 2 Engineseer. One with Monitor Malevolus and on with the Omniscient Mask. 1 Ranger with 5 man and 2 plasma, 1 Vanguard squad with 2 plasma and one blank ranger squad. 4 Dragoons, 3 Phosphorbots and one Drill. We got first paired up against Custodes and Astra Militarum. Lots of Bikes and Tanks. Thanks first Turn we got rid of some custodes bikes and killed them of in the secon turn. In the next turn the Dragoons where smashing at two leman russ and the venoms where tying the other two. We tabled them turn 4. We where on first place and where paired against old veterans which win nearly every game. They brought an custodes biker and eldar biker list and got first turn. They wiped the floor with us. XD Ouch. Last game was against Alpha Legion and Dark Eldar where we got first turn and managed a good win in turn 5. As the Top Ten places got anounced we stared in disbelief as we realized we made the second place! All in all it was an realy relaxed tournament with nice players. Looking forward to visit the next tournament in this area.

With an Dominus, Enginseer, 5 Ranger, 2 x6 Vanguards with x 2 Plasma. 2 Termites, 10 Hoplites, 1 dunecrawler with antiair,1 Dragoon and 1 Lascannon Ironstrider.

The blob of Plaguebearers was a tough one but i managed to kill 800 points worth of stuff in this game. every unit had its uses.

Riot Earp Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Last friday my Ad Mech Tournament list faced Astra Militarum it was the same list from last time. He got 2 leman russ. 1 plasma 1 battlecannon a wyvren an manticore and a lot of guardsmensquads. First turn he got the onager and one dakkabot down to 3 wounds. In my turn the dominus repaired the onager twice. Each time he restored 3 wounds. In Return i killed 2 guardsmensquads and took the plasma russ 9 wounds. He managed to get rid of my dakkabots and the dunecrawler. In my turn the drill on the table unloaded the plasma vanguards which destroyed one guardsmensquad and one company commander. The drill with the Hoplites appeared and killed a bunch of guardsmen on the left flank. Hoplites wiffed their charge and lost one. In his third he killed one drill in the middle and my ranger which where objektive sitting in the backfield. In my third the hoplites killed the guardsmensquad on the left and the drill killed the company commander with its volkite and drilled the wyvern down to 3 wounds. It got destroyed in return but the rest stayed unharmed. In my last turn i destroyed the wyvren with my plasma vanguard. At this point i was leading in points so my opponent conceded. Victory for the Ad Mech! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350739-riot-earps-ad-mech-reports/#findComment-5200802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
