League Battle Reports!
Ok so we started a league and for the next 5 weeks ill be reporting in on what has been fought and so on!Hope you enjoy! We have space wolves,ultra marines,(new) nurgle,(new) flesh tearers,(new) eldar,dark eldar,Imperial Guard,necrons,necrons,blood angels. We fight 2 battles ever Friday night for 5 weeks.At the end i'll have the total pont tally for this league session! A note on one of th new players.The Nurgle player is VERY good.He takes termies,3 squads of plague marines in rhino's,10+ bases of nurglings,a dreadnought with twin linked lascannon/missle launcher/havoc missle launcher with nurgle infestation(hasnt died yet!),daemon prince with mark of nurgle and plague sword(very very potent). He played the IG dude(one of my good friends),utterly destroying his army with bolter fire as the nurglings saoked the charge.He deep struck his termies into the middle of the field and tore apart enemy infantry with the massed bolter fire.The enemy tanks where not able to destroy the dreadnought's thick infected armor as it claimed 2 leman russ battle tanks and the reaper autocannon took the last balsik.This battle was a massacre.The next battle was agains my ultra marines friend in a cleanse.The nurgle player countered every move he made!Taking down the vindicator,assualt marines,terms with his own nurgle terminators!The nurglings soaked the veteran squads charge VERY well,as the daemon prince slammed into the tactical marines killing over 20 alone this battle!The burgle marines were 11 inches away fromt he ultra marines content to sit and shoot their bolters!They were outnumbered but their high toughness made it possible to easily overcome the marines in shooting as the daemon prince and termies ripped through their squads!This was a solid victory earning him 19 points more.He now has 39 points leading the league. My battles were against the DE and a necron army! My list cannot be changed through the tounrey so i hope i made it well! HQ:Chaplain with bp.jump pack term honors-216
This army uses alot of assualt and then the sit back and fire squads!This should be used to good effect.Note i might try and fight in 2 speeders with multi meltas as those are very effective against almost everything! Dark Eldar List:
This was gonna be tough to handle!
Two beefy HQ's goign at each other in a masisve FFA.I would need to get my DC into combat with the haemonculi fast so they wouldnt use those @#%$ destructors with high effeciency. Turn 1 Dark Eldar-The archon flexed his arm lifting the large weapon known as the punisher!His reign over this sector had alsted for nearly 200 years,and it was not about to fall now!The raiders moved fowards at once racing ahead 18 inches each!The talos moved lurking in the darkness still waiting for an unsupecting squad to be caught in its massive blood rusted claws! Turn 1 Blood Angels-The Librarian surged foward in his rhino.The chaplain and DC raged and shot towards the combat!The tac squads in rhino's lit of the engines and roared across the battle field!The razorback targeted a warriors squad blowing its raider out fo the sky just as the whirl wind knocked down 2 more with a super accurate barrage!The devastators killed 7 warriors oin a hail of plasma cannon and lascannon fire!The death company smashed into the wycthes who were flailing about,but not to effetiveness as 8 of their number were promptly hacked apart by the death company!The honor guard slammed into another 2 warrior squads killing them almost completely!The tac squads were just short of charge range,but decided it better to stand thier ground and make a no-fall-back line if things got uglier! Turn 2-The archon was furious at his losses justa s the talos'ses appeared!These massive machines soared towards the combat!The archon and haemonculi swirved this way and that avoiding the blood angels fire!The haemonculi's destructors were massively effective against the tactical marines killing 7.The archon then decided to hit the melee!HE charged into with his incubi retinue killing 6 death company members.The death company fought back hacking apart two with their chains swords,while the chaplain fought blwo for blow against the archon.The universe hung in the balance as these titans clashed!The librarain proceeded in hacking apart the rest fo the warriors who stood before him sweeping towards the talos killing machines! Turn 2 Blood Angels-The whirl wind raged and the devatstors shot down the last raider!The tac squad amassed their bolter fire into the haemonculi killing 2 of them and the final one with a well placed plasma bolt.The librarian charged into the talos war engiens with fury in his mind!The noble librarian managed to hack apart one war beast with a fury of blows but 3 of his comrads in arms were killed by the second talos.The chaplain once again stood face to face with the archon of death!The incubi killing off the death company but being cut down to a man int he process.The two gods among men stood together blow for blow block for block strike for strike.Nothing was going to stop them now! Turn 3 Dark Eldar-The talos ripped apart 5 more honor guards as the librarian stoop back watching in horror!The archon's field failed him as the chaplain planted a blow in the dark lords rib cage.The infuriated archon thrusted his punisher through the stomach of the chaplain then ripping it out through the side. Turn 3 Blood Angels-The Librarian stood ont he brink of death.He was
faced with a monster war machine with only 2 men left.Noble he was that
day as he faced it alone.Man against machine.Good against evil.The horrors
of the haemonculi against the nobility of man kind!The librarian invoked
his physchic powers into his blade and himself letting lose an untold fury.The
librarian mustered all his powers and launhed a brutal assualt utterly
destroying the machine with his awsome powers!The chaplain surged forward
and ducked causing the archon to fal awkardly off balance.The chaplain's
arcanum smashed into the archon's stomach causing him to double over while
quickly turning,the chaplain planted a bolt pistol round the in the back
of the archons head.The lone incubi ran but was hunted down by the furious
chaplain!
Well this was a quick game.He would have possibly beat me if he hadnt surged foward to start and instead dug in and shot as i came forward!Luckily this wasnt a league game as i only managed a minor victory and he had a minor defeat leaving both of us with low points.So luck was with us on that aspect!I think that my firing wasnt effective at all.I mean yes i knocked down many raiders on turn 1 but that was it!I would have rather stood and shot more,but he would have been upon me by then! Hence the short game i walked over to my freinds table.He plays SW and i was doing some scouting as i cheered him on(somewhat cheering..."Come on your a son of russ,what would russ do if he saw YOU do THAT?!?"....."Come on be proud your a space wolf dont run like a space pup you firggin niny!"...of course everyone laughed at my humor towards space pups as they are my rival and hated foe!).Anyways his lord has a fenrisian wolf guard with him,charms,forst blade,storm bolter,belt of russ,and somethin that makes him hit on a 3+....This is gonna @#%$!His blood claws led by wolf preist did excellent overrnning a squad and charging head long into another only to be thwarted off and return to conquer them!The gery hunters made an excellent firing line and were potent in HtH.This was gonna be tough! Game 2-Blood Angels Vs Necrons.
Necrons:
Terrain:There was a large city complex int he center and towards the edges.The rest fo the field was mostly rocky cliffs and such. Turn 1 Blood Angels-The death company moved into some rocks while the tac squads and honor guard moved behind a building out the the LOS from any necrons!The whirl wind shot its MRLS(multiple rocket launch system) killing 3 warriors(whoohoo!).The devastators fired thier lascannons dis-arming and finally exploding the monolith! Turn 1 Necrons-The monolith deepstruck this turn transporting the lord with immortals into the middle of the field!The warriors also went as did the pariahs with their lord!The the heavy destroyers moved up the flank.The immortals shot the @#%$ outta the death company,killing 4,The warriors killed 3 more with massed gauss fire!The pariahs were out of charging distance! Turn 2 Blood Angels-The Chaplain with his last 3 members stayed put for now realising it was the smartest choice not to rush into them!The tac squads unloaded and laid hell into the warriors,killing 6 with plasma fire and massed bolter fire!he Devatstaors killed 9 more warriors who were tighly packed.The honor gaurd charged into a group of warriors the librarian cutting down 6 with 4 more falling to the honor guard!They swept into the next necron warriors squad with ease! Turn 2 Necrons-The immortals fired wtowards the tactical squad now that the death company was behind cover!The destroyers killied off the razorback,while the warriors continued their fire fight with the tactical squads!The lord and his retinue were still out of charging range. Turn 3 Blood Angels-The whirl wind raged foward so was of no use.The death company went around the other side of the building towards where the far warriors and honor agurd were!The devatstators took down the heavy destroyers while the tactical squad ravaged the warriors squad they were fighting with their now rapid firing plasma weapons and lascannons and bolter rifles!The librarian killed 6 more necrons but the honor gaurd had poor luck managing only to drag down 2 of the fiends.Never the less they broke and were chased down by the the hateful librarian! Turn 3 Necrons-The lord was now able to charge the honor guard and the immortals continue to search around for the death company!The warriors again fired their gauss weapons at the tactical squads,though they were losing to the better equipped marines!The necron lord charged into the honor guard killing 5 veterans.The Librarian was furious and laid into the necron lord gashing him open in two places! Turn 4 Blood Angels-The death companyw as near the combat and jetted towards it.The whirl wind raged again.The devastators fired apon the warriors ocne again killing 5 more.The tactical squad had the necrons on a limb and charged into combat veteran sergants leading!5 necrons fell and stayed down under the ferocious charge!The death company charged into the immortals killing 3 while the chaplain killed off the necron lord so he didnt teleport away from the combat!The honor gaurd struggled to bring down 2 more paraihs while the lord hacked into the librarians ribs before being cut down one final time! Turn 4 Necrons-The warriors started fearing the worst and the last squad of warriors charged towards the tac squads but failed to kill but 3.The veteran sergants were pissed and hacked apart 4 more necrons while many stood up the ferocious blood angels felt sanguinius's blood in their veins and dragged down 3 more necrons!The death company killed 3 more immortals under their brutal attacks as the chaplain finished the immortals sweeping into the warriors.The honor guard with the help of librarian cut downt he pariahs to 3 men,mean while getting 2 killed themselves. Turn 5 Blood Angels-The tactical squads killed 3 more necron warriors while the honor guard finished the pariahs.The warriors hacked down several tactical marines as the death company hit their lines!Now the necrons had 8 warriors left! Turn 5 Necrons-The necrons killed 2 more death company before the game
ended.
It was a grueling game.The reason i ahd the tactical marines in a shoot-out was because they had better chances of killign the necrons then in HtH,because they woudl get stuck!I was lucky when i killed the lord that he didnt get back up,and i was greatful my honor gaurd wasnt hacked apart by the time i was finished with the paraihs.Overall it was a VERY fun game and i finished in time to catch the end of a cleanse between the ultra marines and the new nurgle player! I also checked out the flesh tearers player and talked alot with him hinting him on the strengths and weaknesses of his army.He was pretty good,large death company(about 15 to start) with loads of veteran assualt squads and tac's in rhino's!Good start though he didnt win either he did tie!He will be a force when he progresses! About my army... Well i didnt think the dev's were overly impressive.Yes they played a good part of the roll against the necrons,no they really didnt kill their points or do a massively effectrive job!My army this time is geared alot towards the assualt.My tac squads can handle most fo the shooting!My thoughts were more on land speeders for the final listing as they have first strike capability!The honor gaurd has really worked well so far!They are great at supporting the librarian.I used bp/ccw on them as they focus more on the librarians personal skill then on the squad itself!The death company was fantastic killing the archon and his squad tying them up for 3 turns while my honor gaurd laid waste to their warriors!The whirl wind is a keep as it helped the over all plan against the dark eldar by killing 14 of them and also by pinning a necron squad from being transported ni the monolith so that my honor gaurd could feast on them while waiting for the necron lord to arrive! Overall a good list.im thinkin of a force weapon for my Lib incase i fight some tough thing (aka daemon prince of nurgle or wolf lord) and i wont ahve to waste more then one turn killing it!My chaplain did its job in both games killing over 250 points earning the DC's points back as well as retaining his honor from the last battle i was in(was killing by an IG infantry squads sergant). Any thoughts or comments welcomed!This is gonna be a very fun league
and i hope you'll have fun reading it(because if you dont like them get
used to it,cause im gonna keep writing them until the league is over.....LOL,majorly
kidding about that alst part!I woudl love to hear if you liek them or not!)
Anyways cya around! For the Emporer and Sanguinius,
