First of apologies, I know it's been a long time but I'm back with a battle report. We rolled for an annihalation mission, with pitched battle deployment, I was surprised at his lack of transports and found him shocked and worried that I had special playtested my army against Paul's orks and with Artemy for this encounter.
I deployed little with the bulk of my army being in transports/reserve. Only a small squad of tank hunter specialist types was on my left flank, with everyone on the right.
His army generally advances...
He's castled up in one corner as I expected, with a nice drop podding zone just infront.
My land raider advances up the centre with it's deadly cargo of termies and my captain.
His war-walker kills a few marines but a little later I destroy the stronger of it's two weapons...
 |
| My battle line - my whole army vs only half of his army, using the eldar's own trick against them, also note my freshly painted vindicator obliterating a chunk of guys from one ten man squad, while my whirlwind bombards another. |
 |
| Fried scorpions for lunch, eh? |
 |
| Immobilised vindi, :'( |
 |
| I'm assaulted and have my assault cannon destroyed... |
 |
| Termies take out the threat, landraider stuns his fire prism proxy - (which was actually an attempt at nightwing I think, but the wings were ttoo small) |
 |
| Retreating from my termies.... mmm... |
 |
| Shifting away from the danger, and advancing seer council. |
 |
| THEY ACTUALLY KILLED SOME TERMINATORS OMG!!!! |
 |
| Mishapped drop pod, guess where Ilya places it? Yeah that's right, in a crater right in the opposite corner!!! |
 |
| Meh, the fireprism did not do much all game but I took it out anyway. |
 |
| Foolish people... |
 |
| Long range missile shot takes out war-walker- in hindsight, why did I not move the rhino??? |
 |
| Aerial shot, land raider trying to clean up... |
 |
| Still THERE, and threatening seer council... |
 |
| Oh great... |
 |
| Disembark squad and pump shots into them. |
 |
| Landspeeder wreaks havoc. |
 |
| BY ORDER OF THE EMPEROR - KILL HIM!!! |
 |
| End of game.... 6-3 to me - YAY |
Conclusion - Ilya get some TRANSPORTS!!! As for me, never underestimate the power of the seer council...
Nice game, but it was a bit one sided! WAVESERPENTS!!
ReplyDeleteJust a bit ;) , to be fair though I probably knew more about his army than he did, he's only played it a few times against a novice CSM player that he's teaching how to play
ReplyDeletegood one! i almost never read these things but, it's great, but one-sided.
