My first opponent was a DE player. Iam gonna go over roughly of what he had. HQ Archon 9 Incubi and Drazhar master of blades. Elites Wytchs 20, Troops 5 10 men squads, 3 raiders, 8 jet bikes, talos and Ravager.
Ok first turn was mine. I moved up my DC behind some cover and my Vet assualt squad with them. My 2 rhinos with tac squads covered the left flank and my razorback covered the right. My scouts were way out in the front behind some cover. I decided to move all 3 land speeders with the scouts to give them some support. I moved 1 devastator squad to the left and one to the right. I parked my whirlwind behind some cover and waited for the shooting phase. Well nothing was in range cept for the whirlwind so i opened up on a raider. My guess was a little off but still managed to stay on target. The raider was sent down to the ground immoblised. Taking with it 4 warriors. ( he pulled some amazing saving throws)
DE Turn
He moved all his army up, leaving the raiders behind cover and his bikes spear heading the assualt. He opened up with 1 dark lance from the ravager on my rhino. Well needless to say the dark lance tore apart the rhino with much ease. 2 space marines fell under the heavy explosion. One of his raiders took a pot shot at my DC not killing anyone. end of DE turn
Round#2
My rhino which was still alive moved up and deployed its men. The space marines around the fallen rhino were so angered by the loss of their fellow brothers they raged an extra 6 inches. The landspeeders supporting the scouts came out of hiding and waited for the right time to shoot. The razorback continued to move under the cover from the devastator squad. The DC and Vet assualt squad assualted the oncoming bike squad. Ok shooting. The Devastators on the left opened up on the talos, one lucky lascannon found its mark reducing the talos to 2 wounds. The whirlwind shot at the wytchs squad killing 4. The assualt was pretty one sided, even with the 5 and up toughness the DE players bikes were quickly subdued. 4 bikes managed to live and fled the assualt. My DC and Vet assault squad tried catching them but to no prevail.
DE turn
He unloaded all his men from the raiders, including his HQ. They opened up on DC with Dark lances, splinter cannons and splinter rifles. Under the hail of gunfire 6 of the 10 DC were killed. More would have died if it had not been for the black rage pushing them foward. His HQ then assaulted my Vet squad. @#%$ the DE and there amazing initiative [:)] They wiped the floor with the Vet squad not leaving one alive. Drazhar laughed as he decapitated 4 marines with his blades. His ravager shot all weapons and blew up another rhino and disintergrating 3 marines.
Round#3
My turn to fight back. The tac squad that raged the round before opened up on the DE HQ managing to take down 2 incubi. The other Tac squad opened up on the nearby ravager sending it down with a Krak missile. 2 of my landspeeders targeted the remaining raiders and melted the hulls to a warm liquid goo. My landspeeder Typhoon fired on the DE HQ with a typhoon missile and heavy bolter. 1 incubi gone. The whirlwind blasted apart a DE squad of warriors, leaving 6 dead on the ground. The scouts opened up on the wytchs killing 7, but most importantly leaving them pinned. The devastators moved so they did not shoot.
DE turn
The talos moved up closer but still was not in range to do anything. The HQ moved in for an assault on DC, the troops held their positions and the bikes turned around.
His 4 of his 5 troop squads opened fire on the tac squads destroying 1 and leaving the other in a world of hurt. His last squad destroyed a landspeeder. His jetbikes which came back used their assault weapons and took another landspeeder down. His incubi killed all of death company except for the chaplain.(which by the way i made 4 invunerable saves in a row for him, needless to say i was very happy) The chaplain took down 3 incubi before having to retreat.
Round#4 (last turn)
All my units were in range to either shoot or assault so i didnt move. 1 devastator squad blew the talos to god knows where. The other Devastator squad wiped the floor of an infantry unit. My remaining landspeer (typhoon) killed another infantry squad. The Space marines that came out of the razorback opened up on another squad killing all but 4. Right after that the razorbacks lascannon and plasma guns finished the job. Rather then be assaulted by the wytchs i assaulted them. 4 scouts were killed, and 7 wytchs were killed. The assault was won.
DE turn
The HQ failed morales and retreated, the bikes failed morale again and moved back. his reamaining troops fired at the razoback but hit nothing.
I had 2 full devastator squads,Chaplain, razorback w/ 6marines, landspeeder typhoon, 6scouts, 4 space marines and a whirlwind left.
He had 1 3 man warrior squad, 1 incubi an archon and Drazhar left, and 10 wytchs left.
He gave me the win.
One thing i have learned from this, never let his HQ hit ur lines, hehe even though that is obvious this battle i had just reinforced it. i was able to take out all his vechicles quickly, stopping his advance. I dont remeber all the details, for example the Vet squad wasnt just annialated with out doing anything same as DC. My new army faired well at this tournament i was in. ( i came in 1st in my ladder!!) I beat an Imperial guard player, and a space wolves player. I wrote about this battle againist the DE bc it was prob the best one. Imperial guard, i hit there lines the game was over, Space Wolves lots of assaulting and weapons with AP 3 and 2 [:)]
Well thats my battle report! My new army did very well for my first time playing it.
