OK continuing on with the Skirmish battles i play to fieldtest models, i think i put too much experimental units in the previous list, so lets try this: one unit at a time! This time i need to test TESLATIES.
NECRONS:
Overlord, MSS, Scythe, TL, orb
Stormtek
Despairtek
10 Immortals.-Night Scythe
10 Immortals, TESLA
5 Deathmarks
Doom Scythe
TYRANIDS:
Flyrant, twin Devourers.
3 Zoanthropes-Mycetic Spore
10 Termagants
20 Hormagaunts, adernal glands
20 Hormagaunts, adernal glands
Tervigon, dont remember upgrades, had many though.
MISSION: THE RELIC
DEPLOYMENT: PITCHED BATTLE
I win the roll and get to deploy first.
Terrain is full with ruins, and a large hill in the middle, thats where the relic is, and it is actually a Necron device they want the Tyranids not to eat...
So i deploy the Scythe with Gaussties and Stormtek in reserve, everything else keeps together. Overlord is with Teslaties. Doom in reserve, Despairtek goes with Marks.
Tyranids just deploy their masses and the Tervi in the middle, i knew he planned to go for the relic 1st turn...
NECRONS: TURN 1
Everything moves forward and runs too, everybody ends up occupiing a building, oh Deathmarks chose the Tervi as their target.
TYRANIDS: TURN 1
Same as i did, everyone moves and runs. Tervi instead creates a Brood of Termas, and they run and now they have the relic.
Flyrant just leaves the rest behind and goes straight to me and shoots his devourers at my Imms, killing 5, ouch!
NECRONS: TURN 2
Heroic (Or calculated) turning point is when BOTH scythes arrive from reserves.
Deathmarks move forward and into range to RF the Tervigon, Imms stay in a building to give covering fire, Night Scythe unloads everybody in front of the Termagants with the relic. Doom Scythe is set up to kill some hormas who were tightly packed together.
So this shooting phase saw great carnage, Annihilation Barge shot its Destructor and took a couple of wounds away from the Flyrant, who failed the landing test and got his wings severed, and finally died to Tesla fire from the Immortals (Inflicted a total of 9 wounds!).Doom Scythe Shot its death ray and killed 13 Hormagaunts and finnished another 3 with its destructor, also took a wound from the nearby Tervi, which died from the Despairtek and his Deathmarks! Immortals with Overlord killed the small Terma brood with the relic.
TYRANIDS: TURN 2
Now the Nids counter attack! The Zoans come in and land next to my Immortals with Overlord. Hormagaunts (Still 20 of them!) move up to eat my Marks, Termagants move to secure the building where the Imms are (lol they just failed the instict test).
Zoanthropes kill my deathmarks with thier blasts, NOOO (Ah whatever they have done their job.)
Hormas assault my overlord and his honour guards, and killed them all obviousely!
So this turn saw great losses for me...
NECRONS: TURN 3
Overlord and Stormtek get back up! So does the Despairtek!
Doom rerouts and gets to shoot the Hormas, so does the Night .
Teslaties fire at the Zoans, killing one and inflicting another wound to another.
Hormagaunts get obliterated by the combines fire of the doom and night Scythe.
Overlord assaults the Zoanthropes, killing them all!
Despairtek and Stormtek take out the Mycetic spore.
A-barge kills the last 10 Termas.
And the rest of the army shoots at... er wait, there where NO NIDS LEFT!
Game ends with a Whipeout!
Whew! One more turn and it would have been worse!
So lessons learned today:
1)- Tesla on Immortls can be good against hoard armies, but only if you have good luck like i had today, otherwise only take Gauss Blasters.
2)- Deathmarks are also good without DSing, just wait for the marked unit enter the trap and then shoot it out!
3)- Getting your unit in front of 20 Hormas is bad news!
4)- And getting an elite force against Nids is also bad news, it we used kill points, the enemy would just run 1st turn then charge you and kill you.
5)- Watch out the Flyrant is scary! If not downed in one turn then it charges.
Next Battle Report the other week.
May i say we start a campain next week? Yup and it will begin with small 500 points skirmishes and can end up at 6000 points of Crons VS Marines (HAVE TO POST THE BATTLE REPORT IF THAT HAPPENS!!!!!)
