Heh! I played pretty badly this time, 4 things aside from tactics brought me low
- Tyranid get an extra dice for difficult terrain (i was thinking normally you get one dice, so i was throwing 2) … i should have been throwing three = Broodlord didn’t get into play
- … assaulting a vehicle with gargoyles in turn 1 when under the impression it was a jetbike (cc’able) type of thing = all gargoyles dead by my turn 2
- … forgetting that you have to assault the target of your shooting = enemy flyer survives even though my carnifex could’ve had a go at 3x str9 cc hits on it
- … forgetting to hit and run = lictor losing at least 2 attack dice, which could easily have affected their survivability
The 1750 take and hold marathon did start well for me though with scotty putting on an exemplary display of dice throwing – his 5 to-hit dice throw for his fire dragons on my armless carnifex … 4 2’s needed:
… to be followed immediately with some heavy fire on the same guy from a wraithlord:
and finally a snapshot of some Wattyl genestealers that later become warp spider and reaper fodder along with their Wattyl hive tyrant:
