I don't think he glanced very much, most every hit was a penetrating hit, and at least against the dreadnoughts he didn't roll any damage results that weren't 5 or 6's.Nikephoroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484058926496438148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-45785848961897426152011-05-24T09:23:24.273-04:002011-05-24T09:23:24.273-04:00@Bully: you're right.

I should have ran him headlong into the Wyche squad at the far side of the board to maybe contest with them if he didnt get shot up first. But when he came on from reserves early on it wasn't apparent that would be beneficial.<br /><br /> @Xaereth: I agreed with the big warrior squads. That was actually the advice I gave him. I told him to break them down to 4x10 if he was going to keep them on foot for the increased versatility. But obviously putting them in Raiders is better.<br /><br />As far as Wyches go, his had FNP thanks to Drugs, and if I didn't have power weapons he would have been winning those combats.Nikephoroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484058926496438148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-45064213334508241392011-05-23T19:45:43.220-04:002011-05-23T19:45:43.220-04:00Nice report my friend :)
His list wasn't terr...Nice report my friend :)<br /><br />His list wasn't terrible, but it seemed like he had a lot of points invested in squads that were somewhat lackluster. People wonder why I think Wyches are a bad choice, and you did a good job of showcasing that. They're supposed to be 'resilient' against Power weapons but at the end of the day, it's only a 4+ save, lol. The big warrior squads were essentially 2 Dark Lances for 230 points. Thats 460 points for 4 Dark Lances? No thanks...<br /><br />I was surprised how much damage his shooting did to you, actually. 2 dreads in a single turn after a ravager was downed is pretty good rolling- I would expect 1 dead, but certainly not 2. <br /><br />As to how they have 24" on you with ranged attacks, how exactly do you mean? If you mean that they can move 12" then shoot 36" then I guess that's technically true, but remember that Dark Lances are only 36", more's the pity :(<br /><br />Overall looks like a good game, I'd like to have seen how it went if you didn't steal the initiative :)Xaerethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128303819082218339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-31286954486583943942011-05-23T17:34:36.808-04:002011-05-23T17:34:36.808-04:00Great report fella - good pictures as well.

Why i ask is that a vehicle pivot on the spot but since your razorbacks is in the way you cant turn your rhinos. Other than that i really enjoy reading your blog.Stefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146125110760003282noreply@blogger.com
