Blog Entries: 4  |  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. |

Blog Entries: 3    | Hmmmm... Sounds like main problem was missiles. Do you tightly group your squads, or no?

Blog Entries: 4 | I'll try and ask her next week for it, it was a very basic list because she was just starting a 40k army (She's a fantasy player) I had my quads grouped tightly in the beginning, but quickly learned to use that 2 inch leeway they give you. I think it was this: Librarian with hood 10 Man Tactical Squad with flamer and missile launcher 10 man Tactical squad with plasma gun and missile launcher 10 man Tactical squad with flamer *unknown heavy weapon* 10 Man tactical squad with flamer *unknown heavy weapon* One attack bike 10 Man Devastator squad with missile launcher, multi melter and two more unknowns Last edited by Ion Raptor; 09-10-2007 at 04:47 AM. |
