Kind of ironic really. Sorry the 12" within the priest was a typo I meant 6". He at least got that right. <br /><br />Rathstar: Strange thing he was no newbie, he was probably slightly younger then me (28). The body guard were also equipped with missile pods. Although because I was mainly firing at the guard they didn't get used. <br />With the burst cannons on the suit. I threw the list together last minute. Had I thought it through then I wouldn't have put the burst cannons on the suit as they wouldn't see any use at all.<br />I find the XV9s fantastic normally, However being equipped with two twin linked burst cannons in this game they didn't prove much use. They put about 12 wounds on Dantes squad and they passed all their saves and FNP. Then went on to fail their morale check and get mowed down.<br />Good luck with the 40K online tournament next week.Firewasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437136828739603902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191526808031757443.post-83231661173146800122010-08-14T08:30:27.234-07:002010-08-14T08:30:27.234-07:00I had to laugh about the end, you opponent deserve...I had to laugh about the end, you opponent deserved everything he got.<br /><br />Also playing on only a 4'x4' gave his a huge advantage, then add in the deployment set-up advantage and rolling to seize before deployment, he should have done better, but then his list seemed like a typical newbie, full of elite expensive characters and units (it was so small for 2000 pts).<br /><br />Well done on the win.<br /><br />A couple of quick question on your list;<br />What did the bodyguard have as their 3rd hardpoint (you only state plasma & targeting array) ?<br />Do you ever fire the burst cannons on the crisis suits often (their probably no better than the twin-linked missile pods the suits have) ?<br />Do you find the XV9 good, or were they just added in to make up the points ?<br /><br />RathstarRathstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799690336241322474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191526808031757443.post-38231004346158250502010-08-14T03:44:37.984-07:002010-08-14T03:44:37.984-07:00Your opponent sucked.

He broke the rules for deployment, broke the rules for sieze the initiative (whole point of rolling AFTER deployment being that you don't know if you're gonna get it when you deploy) broke the rules for wound allocation...<br /><br />He also broke the rules of his codex if you got hte 12" range on his sanguinary priest from him. It's actually 6". Plus a recent Blood Angel FAQ said it should be measured to each individual model. So if the charge carries some of them more than 6" from the priest, they don't beenfit from Furious Charge and FNP.<br /><br />Finally, he shattered the most important rule. This kind of player is precisely why I don't play down my local workshop, though I understand where you are you have little other choice. Players like this suck, and deserve to get tabled.Gingehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155099423475435032noreply@blogger.com
