BoLS Battle Report 99 - Tyranids vs. Chaos Warhammer 40k.mp4

[Cutthroatcure]

SO I see you painted all your Nids yellow based, is their anywhere I could look for closer more detailed photos of the Nid models and possibly a breakdown of the Paint scheme...Pwease :)

[JDsMTG]

cuz a tyrant with TL deathspitters get 6 re rolled shots witch are nice for mowing down infrantry

[AGrumpyPanda]

Dedicated transports don't count for kill points... that means Chaos won...

[darwa1]

@AGrumpyPanda you know thats not true right? go ahead and check these two references in your BRB.

Page 91 Rulebook:

Victory Conditions.

Page 92 Rulebook:

Multiple unit choices

[AGrumpyPanda]

@darwa1 Page 92 specifically says, and I quote, "Note that occasionally the Codexes allow the player to include several units in his army at the cost of a single force organisation slot (like DEDICATED TRANSPORTS, e.t.c.). Apart from being bought as a single choice, these units operate and count as separate units in ALL RESPECTS."

Therefore, dedicated transports are a separate vehicle for the purposes of determining kill points, and the opponent will receive a kill point for destroying it.

[darwa1]

@AGrumpyPanda Which is exactly why i provided that reference. You said "Dedicated transports don't count for kill points". You just helped prove my point.

[AGrumpyPanda]

@darwa1 I made that comment before I actually knew that rule existed, and forgot I made it, so my reply was out of context. I assumed I had made a comment from my present knowledge, not my past.

[darwa1]

@AGrumpyPanda Roger that buddy, makes sense.

[PowerRang3r]

do trygon primes actually have 18 str 5 shots?

[WanderersGlade]

@PowerRang3r No, they get 12...but thats still pretty awesome ^_^

[lazypete666]

1502 what a cheater ;-)

[SkullFacesaba]

the end was pretty predictable.

[fend3ry]

dude whos the cute redhead in the back?

[AdamHarryBols]

@ordoxeno1 yes I could have charged the gaunts in but I was banking on getting at least a few wounds from the carnifex, which I did earlier and caldera made his saves. I didn't want to tie up the unit in cc because I thought it would have been over kill. Plus I think the tervigon was out of 6"

[KrakenLacken]

I had a whole bunch of tzeentch marines that i sold because i couldnt work out a good use for them, then again, i also wasnt that well experienced then, I really loved your unit choices and set up, and you are sorely tempting me

[ordoxeno1]

why didnt he assault the sorceror with his gaunts when it was in comabt with the carnifex. and again when the tyrant was in combat with the marines.

[AdamHarryBols]

@ordoxeno1

Because combat resolution would have killed the other unit because of fearless wounds or over-run/sweeping advance. In the first case vs the carnie, if the lord kills gaunts and takes no wounds back from the carnie (ie, lives) that would have been more combat res, and two checks on both the carnie and gaunts. vs the marines, same deal -- the marine would target the easy to kill gaunts and generate more wounds vs the tyrant. sometimes crappy units are better left out of combat.

[ordoxeno1]

@AdamHarryBols i do see what i mean, but if the termagaunts charged the lord, they would have had a higher initiative and re-rolls to wound (he took adrenal glands and toxin sacs right?). which means that the lord would have to have take more saves, and since being on 1 wound left, he would prolly fail.

[lucasl96]

I think you forgot about 3D6 STR 3 hits on gaunts when Tervigon got killed with force weapon. On the video here it looks like they are within 6".

[AdamHarryBols]

@lucasl96

We did roll them -- I just rolled really low.

[ewok40k]

what an absolute blood bath... only tervigon and some gaunts left at the one side and single squad of CSM on other... you should have just played to the last man/bug standing

[ZatoichiBlindSword]

gotta love the angst when the force weapons got rolled :)

[whitewolfmxc]

: "TYRANIDS DONT HAVE ANY GOOD RULES LIKE THAT !" XD true true XD

[Retrosicotte]

Fantastic battle report, way more fun than usual. Seeing two varied lists with some interesting choices and no repeating unit spams. Also more "fun" commentary and an emphasis on just playing the game for a laugh.

More of this sort of stuff!

[duo5687]

Force weapon madness! Have to say that Sorcerer is my hero

[bkLEGION3000]

Really good, fun batrep there guys. I love seeing people play with stuff OTHER than the new hotness.

[AdamHarryBols]

I gave the tyrant deathspitters cause they look cool. Lol. And I didn't have any more devourers.

[themanfromfrance]

Good batrep, Can't wait till ma necrons get a new dex...then I will have cheesey goodness lol

[PibsterPewPew]

nids were good. till gayknghts came out

[salamut2202]

Why did you give the tyrant death spitters?

[MagcornuProductions]

@salamut2202 Dakka Dakka Hive!

[salamut2202]

@MagcornuProductions Why not devours.

[MagcornuProductions]

@salamut2202 Well..erm..i don't know. I'm playing the close combat tyrant..so..^^

[salamut2202]

@MagcornuProductions Well for the little dakka dakka you are giving your tyrant, might as well make it propa dakka dakka.

[xAnggulx]

@salamut2202 I can think of more questionable things in the list XD

[lordkabal2010]

i predicted the Tau will shoot the GK of the table just take 6 10 man squads of Fire Warriors and watch them out range and shoot the GK with S5 shots lol even a deadknight will be cautious of that and yeah lots ov battle suits fill out the elites with them with usual plasma/fusion guns hehe the GK will die in droves, just out ov curiosity give the au a back up of a Eldar Farseer with Runes of Warding just hiding out making all the GK's psychic powers on 3D6 hehehe

[lordkabal2010]

GK ppfftt, DE ppfftt it shows that not every1 follows the new shiny armies lol many a laff in there lucky on the 3D6 force weapons lol jammy, brilliant bat rep and did i see 2 more Trygon/Mawlocs at the back shouting let me in i want to eat yummy csm lol

[warpcrafter]

A completely awesome and low-cheese battle report. Thanks. #100 should be Grey Knights and Tau. Just to see if it actually gets to turn 5.

[woodyflanker]

hell yes bringing out the dust collectors ! keep bringing them out ! they are only armies that make good battle reports. people dont want to keep seeing power armour on power armour. shit like this is what we want !

[Randomcrapname80]

Force swords are not a Tyranid's friend. Which is funny because it's practically the only army that even cares if you have a Force Weapon.

[knightdrako]

My two favorite armies duking it out.

[sanchez1942]

Batrep  Number 99 any thing special for 100?

[monstermorrill]

@sanchez1942 necrons beating imps"?...thye bet space dogs
