Okay, My second battle report with Chaos.
My First one can be found
here.
I had played two other games, but they ended in a draw, And I can’t be bothered to remember what happened/ Draw up diagrams right now. Maybe later.
Any way, It was a 750 point game against the most annoying person in existence. Sure, he’s a new guy, but the whole “OMG MY GUYS ARE AWZOMES YOUR GUYS SUKS" routine got old fast.
My list
Lord, jumpack, MoS, Lightning Claws
5 naked Plauge marines
7 Plague marines, champ, fist, meltas, rhino
8 Plague marines, champ, fist, plasmas
By the way, I’m getting the feeling that I somehow had more points then him. I don’t know if I miscalculated anywhere, someone mind giving this a quick points check?
His list, Some version of The Cadian 7th
Uber God commanded squad, Hso, power weapon, plasma pistol, refractor field and some other stuff,
Commissar, power fist, plasma pistol, refractor field.
3 Flamers
1 Master Vox
2 squads of guys, 1 with missile launcher, one with a lascannon.
Russ with all the usual upgrades.
Doctrines
Carapace Amour
Chameleon
Hardened Fighters
And some other things…
I know it was illegal. We let it slide because he got nerfed a bit with the whole summer camp thing. A cookie to anyone who understands what I just said.
We rolled the capture two objectives game, and it was a pitched battle.
Deployment
I deployed my small squad close to the objective. The rest I hid behind the rhino, taking a page out of sancts book. Also because this gave me a save against the battle cannon…
He deployed a bunch of guys on the objective, his tank to the left of it, and his command squad to the left.
I gave him turn 1
He didn’t move besides the tank and command squad, who both moved up.
Tank shoots at big plague squad, but scatters and only hits one. He is saved by the 4+ save given by the rhino.
No assault.
My turn 1
Small squad secures the objective.
Everything else moves up the flank.
The rhino’s pot shot kills a flamer.
No assault.
His turn 2
He moves further up.
The HSO plasma’s a guy in the face.
Battle Cannon shoots the small squad in the building, he misses by, like, 8 inches.
No assault.
My turn 2
Rhino zooms towards his tank and disembarks its troops.
Other guys move up a bit.
The meltas explodagate the tank.
A poor shooting phase from the other guys, only killing one flamer.
No assault.
His Turn 3
His command squad moves further up.
The rocket squad moves out of the building.
The rocket squad somehow manages to kill 3 guys with lasguns.
A mix of fire an plasma downs two from the other squad.
His command squad jumps in. The officer kills two guys. The plague/ lord marines strike back and inflict 4 wounds. The officer falls back, and I fail to catch him.
My Turn 3
Everything moved up.
Rhino Squad shot at the guardsmen and picked off a couple of them.
Other guys shot into the building but did nothing.
Lord assaults the HSO. The HSO gets absolutely wreaked.
Rhino squad assaults the guardsmen and kill 4. They do nothing and run.
His Turn 4
Guardsmen run more, not quite to the table edge.
Nothing else moves.
The squad fires at the plasma squad, but does zilch.
My Turn 4
I move up, I shoot, I assault. He dies.
Game over.
CHAOS WIN!!!
So, as of now, my record with death guard is 2 wins, no losses and 2 draws.
Things I like. In all my recent games, I’ve divided my one big squad into a naked 5-man squad. This does wonders of just sitting at an objective in my deployment zone and not moving all game. Plus it’s small so no one notices them.
Againg, I no I should feel sorry for being so hard on him, but if you've ever met him then you know just how I feel
Any way, a tournaments happening tomorrow, So expect a few more reports soon.
Cheers!
