Tag: Furioso Dreadnought
Lamenters vs Tyranids
So I managed to get a game in today after a month and half or so of not playing. I played Mark from The Overlords Podcast and we played all three mission types in Bay Area Open style. We did do a few things wrong, in that we did all five objectives for Seize Ground rather than just three, and we did an even distribution Nova style instead. I would be interested to play the “correct” way in the future.
HQ: Librarian in Terminator Armour – Epistolary, Unleash Rage, Sanguine Sword
Elite:
Furioso Dreadnought – Heavy Flamer, Talons
2x Sanguinary Priest – Jump Pack, Power Sword
Terminator Assault Squad – 5x Lightening Claw, 5x Thunder Hammer
1 Land Raider Crusader – Multi-Melta
Troops:
Assault Squad – 2x Melta, 1 Power Fist, 1 Infernus Pistol
Assault Squad – 2x Melta, 1 Power Fist, 1 Infernus Pistol
Fast Attack:
Baal Predator – Flamestorm Cannon
Heavy Support:
Stormraven Gunship – Lascannon, Multi-Melta
On turn three he wiped out both of my troop squads, one with a Trygon, the other with the remaining Shrikes. His Swarmlord charged into my Terminators and killed two, leaving one lone Terminator to fend for himself. It was looking nasty for the Lamenters but both the Storm Raven and the Baal managed to come-in from reserves. The predator outflanked into his deployment zone and roasted the 5 termagants the Tervigon has pooped out on the first turn. The Storm Raven moved on and split the Terminators off to one side and the Dreadnought off to the other. The Furioso toasted the Genestealers with a heavy flamer and then assaulted, and I got to see the magic of the Blood Talons which chewed through the entire squad. The Terminators charged the Trygon and brought it down, while the Land Raider zoomed up to shoot at some Termagants that were running away to grab an objective.
At this point my only hope for even a tie, would be to kill off his troops remaining: 3 termagants on the other side of the board, and the Tervigon on the other side that was down a couple wounds from pot shots. He charged in and immobilized the Land Raider, while I made a desperate gamble and jumped out the Sanguinary Priest inside to shoot and charge the Tervigon. Brought him down to one wound, which he then destroyed the Land Raider and priest in retaliation. The Baal zoomed up and flamed the Tervigon as well bringing him down to a single wound. He immobilized the Storm Raven and killed off all but one Terminator as well. On turn five I was down to one Sanguinary Priest, One TH/SS terminator, and an immobilized Storm Raven. I shot and killed the Tervigon from across the board with the Storm Raven’s Lascannon and then made a beline across the board with the Sanguinary Priest in the hopes of catching the two termagants still alive to kill of his last troop. It went to turn 6 and I managed to shoot and kill one gaunt who fled off the board bringing the game down to kill points. After counting up KP’s I had killed 10, while Mark had killed 9. Victory was mine. Though at a horrible cost. Only a lone Sanguinary Priest was alive! He will definitely be getting his paint job improved as a reward!
I had a ton of fun playing, and Mark really helped me play better. He had a bunch of suggestions as we played and helped me understand the army much better. He’s a real stand up guy and a ton of fun to play against.
