I knew I was playing Chaos daemons, so I bought the Havoc launchers... it was about time i fixed these back on my rhinos, they fell off ages ago
For some reason I still bought a power weapon???

-------------


Mission:
Annihilation in Pitched Battle - long table edges
I won the roll and picked the table edge with the long hill.
Daemons let me go first...with out trying to seize the inititive? meh...!

---Turn1---
Possessed roll for DaemonKin= FNP -- nurgtastic
So i set up on top of the long hill...
the Marines were looking at a empty table, but could sense a disturbance in the force!
I decided to move the rhinos out onto the flanks and try and contain the deamons when they arrive?
(having never played Daeomons before... looking at a empty table I didn't know what to do!!!)
end of my turn1 I was deployed like this.

Squad on the hill has 2x Plasma
the rhino in the woods has the melta and PF champion plus the lord has joined the unit...
it's supported by the 5x possessed
the empty Rhino takes up possition on the hill to fire his Havoc launcher
the last squad in their rhino flanks along the left edge.

(ian separates his forces into two groups (HQ & both Elites --- 3 Troops Squads)
Ian wants his HQ and Elites rolls for his Daemonic incursion but the assault won't go as planned...
tzeentch has a giggle and Ian rolls a so he gets his three daemonette squads instead.
tzeentch plays with Ian some more All of his Daemonette squads Scatter.
two mildly scatter but after a run move are pretty much where they want to be.


but one scatters off the table, on the DSmishap table he rolls a four and I place the squad in the far corner. they all run.


end of turn 1 ------ Kill Points --- CSM - 0 --- Chaos Deamons - 0 -----



-------------


---Turn2---
PMs and Lord disembark and after the rhino moves off they formed a line and rapid fired into the daemonettes, the rhinos adds their bolter and havoc launcher to the incoming fire and 6 daemonettes are are destroyed, 3 daemonetts from each squad.
the Possessed assault into the DEamonettes in the woods next to them.
(mathhammer time haha)
12 Daemonettes hit first 36 attacks, 23 hits, 8wounds (3rends), I save one rend and all 5 non rending (1with FNP). 2possessed die
3 Possessed hit back 6 attacks, 4 wounds, Ian makes two saves. two daemonettes die.. Combats a tie.

Then From the WArp a KOS and 3 Fiends Rip into the material world.
KOS is accurate in his appearance and runs towards the PM rhino

thefiends scatter 3inchs in the woods facing the PM on the Hill


Daemonettess Assault the PM Squad And Lord
15 attacks on the lord and 21 attacks on the squad result in 1wound on the lord and 1 dead PM
Plague marines and Lord hit back killing 5, daemonettes are fearless and 1 more dies to no retreat. 6 dead Daemonettes
the daemonettes in combat with the Possessed cause no wounds while the Possessed kill two then two more to no retreat...4 dead.

---Turn4---

Nice report dude.

you were so close, 1 more turn and you could have drawed or maybe won.

Thanks for posting another excellent bat rep.

amazing report
love the old slaaneh damons, fiends look better than the new ones, as does the KOS

amazing report. just shows the resilience of the Plague marines against rending unit.

awesome report. keep em coming.

yeah,
PM survivabliy is because they are T5. Rending beats FNP

The possessed were surviving because they had a inv 5+ against the Rending hits and a 3+ then 4+FNP - Daemonkin

It was a good game,
I think if i had 2 more turns I may have managed a draw if:

the PM held up against the fiends. and probabily the KOS

and the rhinos flat out backed away from the KOS

I managed to track down one of the daemonettes squads fleeing a grab their KP.

PAnic.

Yeah, daemonettes being only S3 now was a right bugger. It means that they can ONLY wound Plaguemarines with 6s anyway...!

I wasn't expecting them to die like that,,,:?

Another well done bat rep, keep em coming!

Freaka

Panic, did you roll for the random daemon power the possessed had? If so, what was it, I don't think I remember seeing it listed in your report. Very cool though. how did you get an overhead view of the whole table?

Fleeing units are removed at the end of the game as destroyed (see page 90 of the rulebook).

You totally won that game.

yeah
VermGho5t, I rolled that first thing at the start of turn 1.

Panic wrote:---Turn1---

I rolled a 5 for Feel no Pain
It was a pretty cool result to get, better than Scout, and 100% better than getting a 6 power weapons! due to everything having a inv save.

PaniC..

yeah,
Yak, Sorry that's my bad use of language, they wern't fleeing they are fearless, they were 'Fleeing' in the sense that Ian was moving them away from action and in cover from ranged attacks to protect their squads KP. so i'd have to go seek them out.

I was guessing what I'd have to do shold i have a turn 6 to get that KP from Ians diminished daemonettes.

I used the same tactic on him in the last game I played against his arbites, I had 1 PM left from a 7 man Squad so I had that Marine turn tale to protect his squads KP.

I need to find a better way of expressing their running away and hiding...

Panic...
