Was a good game, won 8-1 in the Scouring with Hammer and Anvil deployment. I had a 3 and a 2 point objective, Slay the Warlord, Linebreaker and destroyed a Devildog. He had First Blood (Longstrike)
How's Longstrike been treating you? I've taken him as I just like the idea and I'm interested in hearing other peoples experiences with him.
Longstrike didn't get a chance to prove his worth, being glanced to death first turn (mainly due to bad deployment on my part) after explaining how deadly he could be to my opponent, which wasn't a bad thing, saved my devilfish/crises suits being targeted first turn.
The commander was a total boss who, along with the Fusion suits, destroyed 4 Leman russ over turns 2-4, and most of 2 infantry squads.
The other two suit squads performed admirably, killing the Banewolf, a heavy weapon squad and around 25ish guardsmen.
On to the troops, the Kroot camped out of LoS on the 3 points objective the whole game while the Fire warriors either disembarked to take close objectives or were blown away after disembarking to capture opposition objectives, I swear i rolled 3s for all of their armour saves... The devilfish's drones were extremely useful harassers, only taking fire from 2-3 guardsmen at a time and usually shrugging it off.
Having a rematch next week at 1750, so need to add some anti-flyer and maybe more anti-infantry.
