Northguard Challenge 13, 5-6 March 2011

[Septimus]

Så går turen snart til Bratwürstens hjemland!

Nærmere bestemt til Northguard Challenge 13 i Hamborg, når man nu er inviteret er det jo svært at sige nej til en rigtig NAS turnering, med 76 deltagere...    

Denne gang har jeg taget forstærkninger med (Stefan Brammer og Peter Juhl), til at prygle pølse-tyskere, og stjæle så mange trofæer til DK som muligt  

Der er ingen restriktioner til turneringen og FW thingies er tilladt - undtagen Super heavy vehicles / Gargantuan creatures.

Jeg testede Mech daemons (2 Blight drones, 2 Soul grinders og 1 Plague hulk), med 5 pavane skud (hehe) - men jeg kan ikke nå at male 10 store figs på mindre end 14 dage... så nu bliver det den her liste jeg tager med:

110 Slaanesh herald: musk, might, pavane, chariot

190 6x Fiends: 1x might

190 6x Fiends: 1x might

190 6x Fiends: 1x might

100 5x Plague bearer: 1x icon

100 5x Plague bearer: 1x icon

85   5x Bloodletter: 1x instrument

125 Blight drone

125 Blight drone

215 12x Flesh hounds: 1x Karanak

160 Tzeentch daemon prince: 1x Bolt, 1x Gaze

160 Tzeentch daemon prince: 1x Bolt, 1x Gaze

1750 Point.


First wave: 1 Herald, 1 Plague bearer, 2 Fiends, 1 Drone, 1 Prince.

Det bliver for resten nok sidste gang i et godt stykke tid at jeg spiller daemons til en turnering - da jeg er rimeligt træt af de meget begrænsede muligheder der er i daemon dexet, og deres fucked up deployment regler.

Nu skal det hele jo heller ikke handle om daemons, så er så småt ved at planlægge en ny hær... men hvad skal det være?

DE

IG (det bliver ikke en standard liste!)

WH

CSM

SW

Eller Codex Marines...

[leahciM]

Bliver spændende at læse dine beretninger efterfølgende 

God tur !

-

Du skal da spille Marines som alle andre 

[Septimus]

Du skal da spille Marines som alle andre 

Det er nu I har chancen for at få mig til at spille noget andet! MUST RESIST!!!!

Ej, ved sq ik rigtig om jeg gider Marines, uanset hvilken flavor der er tale om. Netop fordi alle andre spiller dem.

WH var sjove engang, men får de et nyt dex sidst på året...?

CSM ... er vist bedre som just for giggles. Kedeligt dex. Fede figs.

IG ... man har jo lidt DKOK liggende... 

SW, jeg har en sjov 1500 point army, konverteret som Fallen SW, men den kommer jeg nok ikke selv til at lege med lige foreløbigt.

DE ... gik i DL for at købe 1 dims, og kom på en eller anden måde ud derfra med en mindre DE hær 

Lige nu har jeg bare ingen ide om hvordan jeg vil strikke en hær sammen til dem.

[leahciM]

Ja det er svært med DE når de mangler så mange modeller. Medmindre man er kreativ og sagtens kan lave dem selv.

Men ja, det var selvfølgelig en joke. Der er så mange Power armor's derude som man konstant kløjes i. Personligt synes jeg det er sjovest at spille Marine vs. "Other" hvad enten jeg selv står på Marine siden eller ej.
Marine vs. Marine = Gaaab....

Så jeg ville lave en ikke power armour hær (ja selvom de ikke er lige så gode) 

[Septimus]

Ja det er svært med DE når de mangler så mange modeller. Medmindre man er kreativ og sagtens kan lave dem selv.

Nemlig. Gider ikke at konvertere dem, hvis de kommer inden for det næste halve års tid.

Men ja, det var selvfølgelig en joke. Der er så mange Power armor's derude som man konstant kløjes i. Personligt synes jeg det er sjovest at spille Marine vs. "Other" hvad enten jeg selv står på Marine siden eller ej.
Marine vs. Marine = Gaaab....

Enig.

Så jeg ville lave en ikke power armour hær (ja selvom de ikke er lige så gode) 

Hvem er ikke lige så gode?

Nå, men så er vi jo nede på DE, IG og WH - jeg tæller ikke sisters som "meq", selvom de har power armour...

[leahciM]

Nu vil jeg jo ikke starte endnu en diskution om det emne, men generelt synes jeg personligt ikke at non-power armor codex'es er lige så konkurrence dygtige som SM's.

Fx Tau, Necrons, Tyranids osv.

Hvis du ikke vil DE, og godt kan lide metalfigurer så go WH  
De er seje men bliver sjældent set.

[9K Painting]

Glæder mig MEGET til at høre hvordan de Blight Drones kommer til at virke for dig, da jeg overvejer 3 til min DG liste

[Mortic]

Fylder de Blight Drones ikke en masse, lidt ligesom Soulgrinderen? Men det opvejes måske af, den kan noget resten af daemonhæren ikke kan?

[Caruncula]

Jeg sætter en stemme på de forkerte Eldarer. De skal naturligvis indeholde Lelith fordi hun er awesome og har en awesome feeeed hårfarve

[Jeppe Sejer]

Jeg stemmer på DE og ellers IG.

Du har nogen interessante syn og holdninger til dex'er, som kommer på bloggen, og de hære ville jeg gerne se dig spille.

Det var nu heller ikke for at starte den diskution - suffice to say at jeg mener at de fleste af dexerne kan stille noget der er lige så konkurrence dygtigt om de forskellige marine dexer.

Jeg har en WH hær, er bare aldrig rigtigt kommet igang med at spille (eller male) dem - andet end en 3-4 test spil. Det eneste der afholder mig lidt er at jeg så noget på Warseer om et nyt sister dex sidst på året... 

Fylder de Blight Drones ikke en masse, lidt ligesom Soulgrinderen? Men det opvejes måske af, den kan noget resten af daemonhæren ikke kan?

Np, de fylder ikke mere end en 60 mm base.

Den kan ikke noget som tzeentch heralds, overcosted Lord of Change, og tzeentch prinser ikke kan - men den kan noget som resten af Fast sektionen ikke kan. Shooting!

Fast skimmer med AV12 - 11 - 10.

Maw cannon: 36" range, S8 Ap3, large temp. Eller den kan skyde som en S6 flamer med Ap4.

Den har også en TL reaper autocannon - godt nok kun med Bs2, men lidt har også ret, og drones gør at jeg får 2 shooting units ned i hver wave.

S6 flameren er hovedårsagen til at der ikke er mere end 1 slaanesh herald eller seekers i listen, selvom jeg normalt har det bedst med 2 pavanes i hæren.

Jeg sætter en stemme på de forkerte Eldarer. De skal naturligvis indeholde Lelith fordi hun er awesome og har en awesome feeeed hårfarve

Forkerte? Der er absolut intet forkert i noodle-armed porn elves på crack, speed, heroin og det der er væ.. bedre!

Lelith you say? Hmm... 175 point for en håndfuld over-cooked noodle-armed S3 pw attacks... OG sejt garn!
Ved sq ik rigtig, men mange terninger virker for mig, hvor TL MM skud ikke gør ... så I'll take that bitch for a spin 

Jeg stemmer på DE og ellers IG.

Du har nogen interessante syn og holdninger til dex'er, som kommer på bloggen, og de hære ville jeg gerne se dig spille.

Time for a poll me-thinks.

Og takker btw -  hvis det ender med DE så kommer der nok en tråd om mine tanker omkring at få et ordentligt feel for det dex på bloggen, og batreps i samme stil med Daemons selvfølgelig.

[Septimus]

I went to the NorthGuard Challenge 13 tournament in Hamborg with my Daemons.

There were no restrictions in this tournament and FW stuff was allowed except for super heavy vehicles and gargantuan creatures.


Battle points:


Victory table:

1 Kill Point / Marker

/ Mission point more - close victory: 12-8
2 Kill Point / Marker / Mission more points - Solid win: 14-6
3 Kill Point / Marker / mission points more - Big win: 15-5
4 Kill Point / Marker / mission points more - Overwhelming Victory: 16-4

VP-table:

701-1050 | +2 | -2
1051-1500 | +3 | -3
1501 | +4 | -4

3.  PAINTING (max. 20 points):

The paint score is determined by the Tournament organizer.
At Club own armies, we ask guests Expert assessments to be made.
3 colors 2 points
More than 3 colors +2 points
Simple accents +2 points
Complicated and clean accents +2 points
Bases sanded / just sprinkled +2 points
Bases intricately designed +2 points
Simple conversions (more than one character) +2 points
Complicated conversion / data (even one character) +2 points
Army List 1 point
Background of the Army 1 point
Wow factor 1 - 2 points
Total 20 points
The army must be completely painted.  So even Chains / lights and weapons systems.
Not painted subfloor be tolerated.
Primer does not count as a color.
It is WYSIWYG if a model has more equipment is added, the less I do not.
(Grenades are not included. Codex standard equipment as well. (Chaos Space Marine Bolter has always been his bolt pistol and close combat weapons even when he presented with bolt pistol and close combat weapon.))
Models that do not meet this, unfortunately, die a cruel death and no longer play.

During the tournament, all armies are to assemble together.  For these armies, then each player chooses his personal favorites.
The name of the bookmark is written on a piece of paper and hand it in at the Tournament Committee, which determines the winner of this category.


4.  FAIR PLAY (max. 20 points):

After each game the players assigned to the opponent a fair play rating:
The score is then recorded on the Fair Play section of the result sheet.  Please give the Fair Play assessments individually with each result, ie not with the enemy from.  This prevents an opponent that your assessment because of its own assessment may still be "corrected".

OVERALL
The results of the four previous categories of the overall winner of the tournament is determined.



MISSIONS:

1.Mission:
Secure area to spearhead fixed 4 markers
2.  Mission
Conquer (Capture and control) and keep up with slugfest (Lol! Google translator. Slugfest = Pitched battle)
Each marker counts double.
3.Mission
Secure area to fight at dawn with four fixed markers
4.Mission
Annihilation with slugfest
5.Mission
Secure area with a spear tip with fixed 5 markers


Game 1: Why Daemons sux vs. Nids

Nid list:

235 Hive tyrant: lash whip, bone sword, armoured shell, old advesary, paroxysm, leech essence

130 2x Tyrant guard: lash whip

85  Tyranid prime: rending claws

150 3x Hive guard

119 7x stealers: toxin sacs

200 Tervigon: cluster spines, catalyst, onslaugth, toxin sacs

45  Biovore

1746 point.




The table was only a little more than 5' long. All 3 terrain pieces far right in the pic are impassable terrain. In all about 30% impassable terrain and 20% area terrain.

I won the roll-off and decided to go first - yea, he has 3 stealer broods but at least he don't get to move and run with them and fill up the entire table before I come down.



Tyranid quarter.



Tervigon.



I would have preferred this table!



Finally the Nid deployment is over...!



Nid deployment.



Daemon deployment, I got the unpreferred wave. I'm forced to do some risky deep strikes. The drone only scatters a few inches but the plague bearers scattered 12" right in front of the entire nid army. This fucks up the small chance I had of swamping 1 brood at a time. They were supposed to come down in between where the prince is and the small green patch.

215 points of Hounds die to mishap. At least nothing else dies and is mostly on target.



I burn a few stealers with the drone and the prince kills 1 stealer. Awesome! 2 out of 4 stealers covered die to a S6 AP4 flamer, 1 dead to 4 BS5 shots  



Tervi makes 12 gants.

The green warrior on the first floor is actually a hive guard (he forgot 1).



Stealers move up to charge the plague bearers.

Lucky for me this leaves a nice clear area in my left quarter. I would have charged the plague bearers with the small brood and filled up the quarter with the large brood.



Hive guard shoots at the fiends and does a few wounds. Hive tyrant lowers their WS to 1.



He can only charge either the prince or the blood letters, as only 1 stealer could get into base contact and the fiends were nearly 7" away.

Daemons turn 2:


I get 1 drone down, out of 6 units in reserve, which promptly scattered 8" into terrain. It's front armour is of course towards the nid army - it just kept tilting, that's why it's placed like it is.

Daemons turn 3


My first wave is mostly gone. 3 blood letters sneak into the building - at least I managed to kill one stealer brood.

The herald, prince, plague bearers and fiends are nearly all on target.

The first drone is weaponless and immobilized.

Nids turn 3:


Nids turn 3:


The tervi made 17 gants in turn 2.

Daemons turn 4:


Daemons turn 4:


Pavane fails.

Prince fails.

Drone fails.

Nids turn 4:


Prince poofed.

No more pics of this "battle" - on my right flank I killed the other stealers and the drone and herald finally managed to drag down the other big stealer brood.

We had to stop in turn 6 due to time constraints but it didn't really matter.

Nids: 2 objectives.

Daemons: 0

Score: 16-4 to the Nids.

[leahciM]

Surt, lyder ikke som et særligt underholdende spil.. 

Bedre held næste gang! 

[Septimus]

Surt, lyder ikke som et særligt underholdende spil..  

Det var det egentlig heller ikke.

Ret kedeligt at stå og se på at ens modstander flytter rundt på sit skidt i en evighed, slår en milliard terninger - og så får man lige 3 minutters spil tid, men det var udelukkede de fucked up deployment regler i daemon dexets skyld (og til dels at der var virkeligt meget terræn på et for lille bord) at det var et "meh" spil. Min modstander var flink nok.

[Septimus]

Game 2:

Capture and Control

Pitched battle

Blood Pact:

195 CCS: 4x plasma, 1x astropath, chimera w. hull HB

80  10x Penal legionaries (they got the assault 2 lasrifles)

60   PCS: 1x plasma, 2x 'nade launchers, 1x flamer

85  10x Guardsmen: 1x 'nade launcher, 1x lascannon

85  10x Guardsmen: 1x 'nade launcher, 1x lascannon

160 Manticore rocket launcher: 1x hull HB

125 Basilisk: 1x hull HF

230 Executioner: plasma sponsons, hull HB

1750.


A very nice army, you can't see it on the pic but most of the Blood Pact had sculpted face masks.



Ze field:


The right flank:


One of the other tables:


Yep, they had a Reaver Titan as a terrain piece...  

I placed my objective here:


Underneath the first floor so my plague bearers can't be hit by an indirect firing Manticore.

Took a pic of another table while my opponent deployed his army:


Some of those Daemons won the best painted in the Baltic Battle Rostock last year:


More daemons:


This guy used a Salvation toy (I have no idea what that is...) as a vendetta, he bought them for 4-5 Euro each:


More convertions:


Nice blight drone, though this one belongs to a CSM army:


Okay, back to business:


My opponent made his scout move and castle up in the corner around his objective.

The big block of a building thingy in the left part of the pic is impassable.

Guard deployment:


Daemons come down:


I got the preferred wave and I won the roll-off and chose to be 2nd player.

The prince was supposed to be behind the vendetta and shoot at the rear armour.

1 Drone mishapped into the prince - scattered 11"... back in reserve.

The herald says hi!


Daemons left flank:


That's the devil dog leading the convoy followed by the vets.

The herald get's shot up. A lot. So I go to ground and roll 3x 3 for the first 3 saves


You just can't kill me biatch!!!!


After being shot up by almost the entire guard army the herald is still alive with 1 wound left:


Daemons turn 2:


I think the herald got one pavane off before he wen't to ground a pulled the HWT a bit closer, which just got the fiends into nom-nom range  

Daemons turn 2:


Reinforcements have arrived in range of the icon.

He got the penal legion in turn 2:


And the fiends eat them.

Poof!


Guard turn 3:


Guard turn 3:


I don't know why he moved his vendetta down there. Exposing rear armour.

Guard turn 3:


My herald's streak of luck is about to run out...

Incoming!


In Germany a Manticore who get's more than one shot off, while firing an indirect barrage, do it exactly as if it was a direct shot - just with full scatter.

Makes them quite a bit more accurate - and my opponent got 3 shots per missile for about 2/3 of the shots.

Didn't roll high enough to spread the hounds properly.

3 Hounds survived:


Daemons turn 3:


The 2nd drone drops in behind the vendetta and blast it out of the sky with the reaper  

Finally I nailed a vehicle and the prince gets a charge closer to the guard lines.

The other prince (nearest in the pic) was supposed to charge the vendetta if the drone hadn't blown it up.

I just can't kill that devil dog:


Post close-combat:


Karanak and the 2 hounds rip off both weapons and immobilize the CCS chimera.

Guard turn 4:


Guard turn 4:


Guard turn 4:


He disembarks the CCS ... Thank you Chaos!  

Guard turn 4:


Hmm... did he just move those sentinels into charge range of the Fiends?

FFS!!!! I can only shake and stun that devil dog no matter how many times I glance and pen it:


Daemons turn 4:


Yep, those Fiends were in range  

I made a risky deepstrike with the blood letters. I did it because I still have the 2. Plague bearer unit in reserve and one of those units should come down intact.

Daemons turn 4:


Karanak and friends eat the Gaur.

Post CC:


Daemons turn 4 post CC:


This is the reason Guard should have HF hull mounts. With only 1 HF on the Basilisk, there's a pretty good chance that the Blood letters survive.

Plague bearers come down near the Blood letters and mishap, my opponent got to place them:


3 Blood letters survived and multicharges into 10 guardsmen and the PCS:


Daemons turn 4:

[Septimus]

Daemons turn 5:


Daemons turn 5:


I rolled like shit for the Blood letters and only killed 2 guardsmen. At least the PCS ran away.

Very close to the objective:


Guard turn 5 (it is actually my turn, just forgot to get the pic in the guard turn):


JUSTICE!!!! The devil dog tries to tank shock the plague bearers and get's immobilized.

That was a bit too close for comfort. Though I had 1 prince in the vicinity.

Daemons turn 5:


Okay, no more pics of the mop up operation.

The guardsmen killed the single Blood letter, but they got eaten right after that by the fiends.

The only thing he had left on the table in Turn 6 was the immobilized devil dog.

Daemons: 1 objective worth 2 points.

Blood pact: 0.

Daemons win 16-4 

[Septimus]

Game 3:

Seize ground with 4 objectives

Dawn of war

The Guard list:

145 CCS: 4x melta, 1 chimera w. hull HF

65   Marbo

80   Psyker battle squad: 6 psykers, 1 overseer

165 10x Veterans: 3x melta, 1x AC, 1x chimera w. hull HF

165 10x Veterans: 3x melta, 1x AC, 1x chimera w. hull HF

75   PCS: 4x melta, melta bombs

115 10x Guardsmen: 1x AC, 1x PW sgt., 1x PW commissar

140 2x Armoured sentinel: 2x lascannon

160 Manticore: hull HF

160 Manticore: hull HF

150 2x Hydra: hull HB

1750.


The  table:


Daemons turn 1:


He won the roll-off and force me to go first, which I don't mind since it's DOW. I got the preferred wave.

He deployed an empty CCS chimera and chimelta vet.

Daemons turn 1, right flank:


My shooting didn't do much. I think the prince shaked the CCS chimera.

Guard turn 1:


He disembarked the PCS from the vendetta and shot meltas at long range at the drone, he took off a gun... and the herald will eat them for that

Guard turn 1, left flank:


Guard turn 1:


Yea, he got a weapon. The drone still has the TL reaper.

Post guard shooting phase:


Daemons turn 2:


Fiends, prince, hounds, drone and blood letters drop in, in range of the icon.

The blood letters are going to run to my left flank and hold the objective there.

Daemons spread out:


The middle fiend unit went to ground in the first guard shooting phase as it was taking a lot of fire.

The 2 princes and the drone do nothing to the chimera.

Daemons turn 2:


The herald pavanes the PCS farther away and then charges the PCS and eats it - I pavaned them like this so I could use the massacre move to get into cover and put more pressure on his right flank.

Guard turn 2:


The chimera tank shocks through the prince and the hounds.

Guard turn 2:


Vets are now in charge range of my fiends.

Guard turn 2:


My herald absorbs the fire power of both a vet squad, a chimera, a vendetta and the hydras and is still alive with 1 wound. Going to ground ftw!

Guard turn 2:


The hounds were a bit too close to the armoured sentinels, though he had to roll a 5+ on the terrain test to charge the hounds.

Karanak 'splodes an armoured senti 

Daemons turn 3:


Okay, payback time!

The first drone is now weaponless so I turboboost it 1" away from the rear door of that chimera, hoping the fiends will wreck it.

Daemons turn 3:


I multi charge the vendetta and 1 fiend into the psykers.

Daemons turn 3:


Guard turn 3:


I shaked the vendetta... and he turbo boosts it away - and exposes his rear armour...

The prince shaked the empty chimera again. So he moved it further away from the cavalry.

Marbo joins the party, just above the drone.

Guard turn 3:


Karanak destroys the other armoured sentinel - JUSTICE!!!!

Guard turn 3:


The psykers did not run away so my fiends were save from the guard shooting - but apparently this platoon and the CCS was on crack and killed most of them.

Daemons turn 4:


I hit and run with the lone fiend.

Hounds vs. the blob!

Daemons turn 4:


Fiends eat the vets.

Daemons turn 4:


The other vet squad is shortly going to share their fate.

Chimera destroyed:


Daemons turn 4:


Got that one too.

The single fiend charged the hydra squadron and takes off an AC and shakes the other hydra.

Daemons turn 4:


He keeps passing a lot of saves though I'm slowly dragging them down.

Daemons turn 5:


Sadly the drone lost the maw cannon so I couldn't flame Marbo but the reaper was enough to shoot it down 

Daemons turn 5:


I charge Marbo with 4 plague bearers.

Marbo wounds 3 and I fail all the 5++ and the FNP saves.

Guard turn 5:


Vets got poofed and the hydra lost another AC after a couple of fiends multi charged the vets and the hydras.

Guard turn 5:


His platoon, CCS and psykers finally died when the fiends mopped up.

The other plague bearer unit got in range of the objective.

Game ended in turn 5.

Daemons objectives: 2 (I couldn't kill Marbo, otherwise it would have been 3).

Guard: 0

Daemons win: 15-5

[Honsou]

Jeg testede Mech daemons (2 Blight drones, 2 Soul grinders og 1 Plague hulk), med 5 pavane skud (hehe) - men jeg kan ikke nå at male 10 store figs på mindre end 14 dage... så nu bliver det den her liste jeg tager med:

Man kan hvis man VIL!

It is WYSIWYG if a model has more equipment is added, the less I do not.

a hva?

Den der chaos spined beast har jeg været tæt på at købe flere gange.

Marbo wounds 3 and I fail all the 5++ and the FNP saves.

Hvad havde du regnet med? Det er jo MARBO?!?!!

[leahciM]

Ærgeligt med Marbo der til sidst, ellers udemærket report. Indtil videre er det da ok win ratio

Ja, man kan hvad man vil - og jeg kunne have gjort det, men efter jeg malede 50+ daemons op på en uge til første gang jeg var i Sverige (hvor jeg dog fik hjælp til at klaske 3 farver på fiends) - gik jeg rimeligt meget død i at male daemons.

Da jeg sagde at jeg ikke kunne nå at male 10 store figs på mindre end 14 dage, mente jeg i virkerligheden at jeg ikke kunne nå at male dem pænt 

It is WYSIWYG if a model has more equipment is added, the less I do not.

a hva?

Google translator 

Det de siger er at en CSM som er født med cc weapon, bolt pistol, bolter og granater, behøver ikke have samtlige af de våben på sig for at tælle som wysiwyg.

Den der chaos spined beast har jeg været tæt på at købe flere gange.

Den er nice, og sjov i en CSM hær. Til daemons foretrækker jeg Soul grinders, prinser og den seriøst (u)lækre Plague hulk 

Marbo wounds 3 and I fail all the 5++ and the FNP saves.

Hvad havde du regnet med? Det er jo MARBO?!?!!

Han plejer at gå hjem når han har smidt sin bombe, lige så snart man skuler lidt til ham.

Det viste sig senere at Plague bearers ikke havde tænkt sig at stoppe det fail-streak de indledte med Marbo.

Ærgeligt med Marbo der til sidst, ellers udemærket report. Indtil videre er det da ok win ratio 

Heh, Guard er overpowered og vinder alle turneringer... or so I heard...

[Honsou]

Google translator 

Det er lidt på niveau med underteksterne på TV3.

Vi vil se flere billeder, og læse om Plague Bearers of Cheese der får retfærdige tæsk af Marbo!

1750 point.


He won the roll-off and force me to go first.

DW deployment:


DW deployment left flank:


Daemon deployment left flank:


I decided to come down here to get screened from the majority of his first turn shooting.

I expected him to stay in the terrain, only moving a bit closer to get into storm bolter range - and then I could hopefully pull a terminator squad out (with pavane) at a time.

The Land raider would probably come closer and the speeders staying behind his Land raider / terminator screen.

Daemons left flank:


DW turn 1:


He got scared of the fiends and move out of storm bolter range...  

I shot off a typhoon launcher on one of the speeders with the drone. The drone was supposed to be behind the cliff in midfield, but scattered into view of all of his Cyclone/Typhoon launchers.

He disembarked Belial and the upgraded terminators, but the Librarian stayed inside the Crusader.

DW turn 1:


Daemons turn 2:


I got the Blood letters, Flesh hounds, Plague bearers and a Prince  

The Prince 'splodes a speeder.

The Drone 'splodes a speeder.

Those terminators look quite isolated over there:


Though the Land raider will probably move in to support them - I'm hoping to get the Prince and a Fiend unit in charge range of it, as I can't afford to let it shoot 12 TL bolters, a TL Assault cannon and a MM at me every turn.

DW turn 2:


He keeps pulling back.

DW turn 2:


The only thing advancing is the Land raider, everything else pulled back.

Daemons turn 3:


Got a drone in, on target.

Daemons turn 3, left flank:


The Herald has 2 wounds left...

Daemons turn 3:


The Prince and the Drone shakes the last speeder.

The Fiends were carefully lined up so I could get 3 of them into cover in the assault move.

Daemons turn 3:


Fiends almost in charge range...

DW turn 3:


The Fiends ripped off the Assault cannon.

DW turn 3:


Terminators keep pulling away and the speeder turbo boosts.

DW turn 3, right flank:


Daemons turn 4:


I had to use the Herald to get the terminators out of cover, and hope for a lucky pavane shot.

Terminators 17.75" away.

Pavane 4+ to hit. Hit.

Had to roll 5+ to get all the terminators out of terrain. 6.  

Daemons turn 4, right flank:


The drone destroys the last speeder.

Prince lines up to charge the Land raider.

Daemons turn 4:


Post cc.

The prince and the fiends managed to shake the Land raider...

1 terminator survived, Fiends hit and run.

Daemons turn 4, post cc:


Fiends hit and run over here to hopefully look scary enough that he shoots them instead of my Herald who is 2 wounds away from giving up a KP.

Daemons turn 5:


Forgot to get any pics of the DW turn 4 - Belial and the upgraded terminators killed a Fiend unit. The other terminators shot at the Fiends instead of the Herald  

The Prince shoots a wound off Belial.

Hounds still can't kill the lone terminator.

Daemons turn 5:


Got the last Fiend unit down in range of the icon.

Fiends charge through terrain. Prince Valiant goes mano a mano with Belial.

Daemons turn 5, post cc:


Prince Valiant wounds Belial. Fiends fail.

Finally the hounds dragged down the terminator.

DW turn 5:


DW turn 5:


DW turn 5, post cc:


2 Fiends survive with only 1 wound each...

Prince Valiant and Belial keeps jabbing at each other.

Daemons turn 6:


The 2 wounded Fiends goes into terrain, hoping to pass 3+ cover saves by going to ground.

Daemons turn 6:


I don't want the Hounds to get charged.

Daemons turn 6:


The Herald hides. Plague bearers were providing cover last turn.

The Drone in the right corner of the pic turbo boosted away last turn to avoid a close range MM.

Daemons turn 6, post cc:


Prince Valiant shows Belial who's Boss!  

DW turn 6:


DW turn 6:


He forgot about the 2 wounded Fiends, and shot at the Drone instead.

Daemons turn 7:


He immobilized the Drone.

Hounds charge into the terminators - the Fiends were supposed to charge in too, but rolled 1" too little through the terrain.

I charged the Prince into the Land raider again - and still couldn't kill it.

In his turn the Land raider sadly blew the last Blood letter off the table.

Daemons: 6 KP

DW: 3 KP

Daemons win 15-5.

Gode reports! Altid rart at se dæmonerne slagte mortal scum!

Spillebordene er meget varierende i visuel kvalitet nogle er bare sådan meh.. mens at f.eks skovbordet så rigtig fedt ud!

Angående det så drister jeg mig lige til nogle råd i den visuelle afdeling vel vidende at det har du ikke bedt om  ... Du kunne vinde ufatteligt meget på dine dæmoner ved at bruge ialt 2 timer på deres baser. Tørbørste dem op engang til med en lysere brun, og så blackline dem. Det ville gøre at det ikke lignede at de slæbte rundt på cirkulære kokasser  

Anyway keep the reports coming.

Terminators 17.75" away.

Pavane 3+ to hit. Hit.

Har en Herald ikke kun BS 3, din fusker?

Slaanesh heralds rammer selvfølgelig på 4+... taste fejl

Det var lidt blandet, et andet godt bord var tank battle bordet med 10-12 smadrede tanks ... de fleste af dem FW tanks... 

De kender en der arbejder for FW, så de får det ret billigt.

Lol! Det er nu dark flesh, drybrushed med P3 Bloodstone og derefter snake bite leather før der kommer Mig Dark rust og Mig Light rust picment på. Det er bare svært at se på billederne, fordi kameraet tit vælger at fokuserer på noget andet - altså for de figurer der har helt færdige baser 

Om baserne skal blacklines er nok en smagssag. Jeg foretrækker dem i Dark flesh.

Det er vist mest Fiends der trænger til en kærlig hånd. De er bare ret tidskrævende, og jeg har først for nylig bestemt mig til hvad Slaanesh farverne skal være - hvis jeg da ikke sætter hovedparten af mine Daemons til salg inden.
