Ion's first real battle Well I played my first real 40k game today. 2000 point game using this list:
HQ:
Sorcerer with mark of Tzeentch
-Warptime
-Bolt of Change
-Plasma Pistol
Elite:
9 Chosen with MoT
-Bolt of Change
-AS has Wind of Chaos
Troop:
11 Thousand Sons
- Bolt of Change
11 Thousand Sons
- Bolt of Change
11 Thousand Sons
- Bolt of Change
Fast Attack:
15 Raptors with Power Weapon, 2 Meltaguns and Icon of Tzeentch
Turn 1: My Thousand Sons really show me what slow and purposeful is by only moving 2 inches forward, followed by losing 2 to a missile launcher. Raptors begin moving through cover towards a squad advancing on me.
Turn 2: A Rhino moves too close to my Chosen and gets zapped. One casualty on my side to a missile again. Raptors pounce on a squad and force them to retreat.
Turn 3: A Whirlwind take out 3 Thousand Sons, meanwhile my Raptors are now locked in combat with 3 squads of marines and holding their own! Chosen and one of my squads zap a whole squad of marines down in one turn, Thousand Sons stun a Rhino
Turn 4: No deaths except for a few Raptors here and there as well as some marines in the brawl.
Turn 5: Raptors finally buy it but it's too late for another full squad of marines, which are zapped to dust. Rhino finally goes down
Turn 6: One of my Thousand Sons squads get charged and hold out while managing to kill a marine. My Sorcerer shows the enemy Librarian what it is to have true power!
Turn 7: I lose a Chosen but manage to destroy the squad locked in combat with my Thousand Sons squad.
Turn 8: My Thousand Sons squads have all managed to get within rapid range when the game is called because of store closing hours.
Total deaths for my side: 15 Raptors, 1 Chosen, and 6 Thousand Sons compared to 3 whole squads of marines destroyed, 2 Rhinos, Librarian and about two more squads knocked down to half strength. |
