i stand by the flank march tatic. then just lots and lots of powerklaws. show up...charge...beat.... done. just watch out for the stomping....

And the resultant explosion.

I took down the Warhound by shooting it each turn with Lootas to drop the Void Shields and then shooting it with the Skullhamma. This accounted for 1 structure point over two turns. Then I assaulted it with GHAZ. He took another 2 structure points over the next two assault phazes.

Nice. Way to kill a warhound did you end up winning the game?

**kaiservonhugal**

Yes - it was a win. My MVP's of the match were the Lootas for dropping the Void Shields and the KFF's for keeping my force intact long enough to get troops into contact.

I was able to have to 2 KFF's inthe list because I fielded a Mek Junka from IA8 with one and a I had a Big Mek with one riding in a BW.

My opponent fielded (from memory):

Pask in a Vanquisher, 2 LRBT's, a Hellhound, a Vendetta, A WARHOUND TITAN, 9 Ogryn, a vindicare assassin, an inquisitor with emperor's tarot, 5 Vet squads (4 riding in Chimera), a Command PLT, and a PLT with 2 Lascannon and Autocannon heavy weapon teams.

I went with:
Ghaz
Big Mek with KFF
Mek Junka with KFF and Deffrolla
2 Battlewagons with Defollas
15 Lootas (I never got more than one shot apiece with these guys)
6 Burnas - they rode in the junka
9 TL Rokkit buggies
SkullHammer
18 boys with PK NOB
18 boys with PK NOB
4 Grot Tanks
8 Nobs variously equipped
3 Killa Kans
and 10 gretchin

Wow nice the game must have been epic!
i remember my first apocalypse game i wasnt as fortunate as you his warhound took out a super heavy shadow sword and a stompa very frustrating!
oh well on the plus side congrats for taking out the titan.

**kaiservonhugal**

We decided to not play with objectives - just straight up - kill the other guy. I won the roll off for set up and opted for him to set up first. He infiltrated his assassin forward in the center pushing me back. We set up 18 inches apart, though my center was restricted another 12 inch radius because of hisforward deployed assassin (good move on his part).

I won the roll to go first even with his Emperor's Tarot and was able to silence one of Titan's guns (the laser) and Vendetta on turn one (just cant shoot, NOT detroyed). This combined with bouncing most of his return fire with the KFF's gave me the edge I needed to close the distance.

Had I not had access to the Skullhammer - I dont think things would have gone as well - I needed its S9 Kannon in order to get penetrating hits. It was the only thing in my list that could penetrate the Titan at distance.

Wow id love to have a game like that. Im going back to my wargaming club in jan so i think i might see some action in the apoc region!
