Battle Report: 500 point Salamanders Vs. Chaos Space Marines

[sonhighguy]

maybe i don't know enough about the rules yet...but seems to me your army is illegal...you can't start a game with your only hq and your only troops in drop pods...they have to be on the table don't they?

[abagOmoney]

@sonhighguy: Only for gametype dawn of war I think it is do you have to do that.

[Ninjalover8]

@abagOmoney Actually the rules state that for dawn of war you can only deploy a HQ and troops but you can still hold them in reserve if you wish

[blisym]

dude get vulkan he'stan he will boost your power 10 fold re-roll flamers and meltas 2+/3+ saves relic blade heavy flamer

[UltraBob619]

@blisym your a n00b

[Ninjalover8]

@blisym Vulkan He'stan would be a waste of points in a 500 point game I never use him unless its 1,500pts or higher

[chiralaneyugioh]

@Ninjalover8 dude in 1000-1500 he is awesome give him some termis or command sqaud he will drive a LR crusader and smash any unit

[Ninjalover8]

@chiralaneyugioh Termies yes but he can't take a command squad unless you buy a captain aswell and thats a ton of points. I use Vulkan with an assault squad with flamers and a TH/SS sergeant in a reedemer and that wrecks everything.

[SalamanderMarine]

yes you can attack the drop pod once it has landed as it counts as a vehicle that is imobalisecd

[xDevildragonx]

I'm really really new to TT Warhammer, can he seriously attack the drop pod!?!

[UchihaDescendant1335]

@xDevildragonx Yes, the drop pod counts as dedicated transport and is just like a rhino or razorback, with the only differense that it can be dropped anywhere on the table.

[boredomdisease]

@UchihaDescendant1335 the drop pod has some fire power. it can have storm bolters or missiles cant it

[wargamerLoki]

@boredomdisease storm bolters or deathwing missle launcher

[boredomdisease]

@wargamerLoki kk tyvm still geting used to warhammer 40k ive been reading the codex for SMurfs and the rulebook all the time

[wargamerLoki]

@boredomdisease No problem

[UchihaDescendant1335]

@boredomdisease Yes, just as wargamerLoki says, however there are some speccial weapon choices at ForgeWorld

[Altier215]

that is an amazing idea for 500 points dude, i wish i could do that, but my 500 points list is 5 scouts, a land speeder with heavy flamer and multimelta, a tactical squad with a melta gun, multi melta, and melta bombs along with pedro kantor, it is my 3rd army and all i got so far, lol
