Nice to see the Tyranids pull out the victory - I'll have to study up on the Nid rules and set something up to see how the Black Legion would do against them.FuriousPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15266751066162807172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169114571785178040.post-21666650249777580832012-04-19T13:39:15.749-04:002012-04-19T13:39:15.749-04:00Pure BA madness: 3 Baal Predators, 2 Vindicators ...Pure BA madness: 3 Baal Predators, 2 Vindicators and an outflanking/deepstriking Stormraven...Maelstormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671926069884921312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169114571785178040.post-24538929647765362212012-04-19T12:01:25.703-04:002012-04-19T12:01:25.703-04:00I would say it depends how you define it - you sti...I would say it depends how you define it - you still have small scoring squads with two special weapons, which Vanilla can't get and fast vehicles :) <br /><br />I think Furiosos are amazing and I got really lucky stunning him and then immobilizing him. I wouldn't focus on that dude. Do you have three Baal preds? They're my favorite thing about BA.<br /><br />Also one thing to keep in mind is it is doubtful you'll face any armies that have nearly as many MCs as I fielded.mugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10897915677573578644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169114571785178040.post-27239702585283990262012-04-19T11:54:26.851-04:002012-04-19T11:54:26.851-04:00Well, I think I might drop one of the Baal Predato...Well, I think I might drop one of the Baal Predators for another AC/Las one. I really don't want to drop the Furioso, but I could really use some Sternguard for utility against MCs. I dunno, it just seems the list would be more Vanilla than Blood Angels at that point.tau4evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869513873708329967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169114571785178040.post-4523704210925708422012-04-19T11:21:20.956-04:002012-04-19T11:21:20.956-04:00Also I'll have those big Tyranids painted by t...Also I'll have those big Tyranids painted by the May 19th kerfuffle at GS.mugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10897915677573578644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169114571785178040.post-2814453793532137912012-04-19T11:20:35.695-04:002012-04-19T11:20:35.695-04:00Awesome battle report!

Your terminators...All in all really fun, epic game. Your terminators advanced very slowly fighting off creature after creature making dozens of saves.<br /><br />I will say I feel like this is a tougher list that I made. It is hard to min/max at 2250 points because you need to fill points at some level, but if I were to min/max it - based on this game - I would remove the carnifexes (570 points) replacing that with another tyrannofex (265), a gant squad (50), a tervigon (195), and two more warriors on the warrior squad.<br /><br />This would provide more toughness six at 2+ armor save with a huge gun, more tervigon power providing more gants, more FNP, and more synapse. I think if I were to attend the tourney on the 28th I'd do that. I feel like a lot of lists would have troubles with the appropriate amount of cover. The amount of gants I can put on the board is amazing for objective games.<br /><br />I was surprised you didn't go for the venomthropes earlier, but I didn't need them as much as I thought I would. You could have pulped a few with ID if you had focus fired them. I managed to use the building in the middle to my advantage to keep my stuff alive.<br /><br />It was super close. You made some epic maneuvers to contest that thing right at the end. I think this battle showed to me at least that the independent character rules are sooooooo bad and need to be refined. An independent character can't run into an already engaged close combat? Really goes against the 'epic heroes' feel that GW tries to provide.mugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10897915677573578644noreply@blogger.com
