So i went to my
FLGS today and met up with my friend Ian, and we played a game of 2k.
i was having doubts with my list, but gave it a try anyway.
This is my list.
Fateweaver 333
Bloodthirster 250
4x2 Bloodcrushers (1 with icon) 345pts
5x5 Horrors 85pts each
3 Daemon Princes 645pts
U. Might, Wings, Iron Hide.
His list:
1 Hive tyrant with Stuff and tyrant guard
1 Flyrant
5 or 4 (not sure) Fexes with stuff and 2 shooty ones with venom cannon and barbed strangler.
12x3 Genestealer Squads (2 on outflank)
12 Gaunts
I'd like to apologize for the lack of pics since my camera was acting up and i just coudnt be bothered to take pics while playing and i felt a bit bad cuz my camera was flashing all over the place and people kept thinking i took their pic.:s
This was the tyranid deployment
Dont mind the blue guys, i just place my daemons there so i dont have to take em out of the box.
and yes thats where the fexes were.
This was at the end of my deepstriking, i didnt get the wave i want, and sorry for the bad pic.
Advancing Nids
Turn 2
He moves everything closer shooting at one of my horror squads wiping them out with combines fex shooting, and i in return wipe out his gaunts and set my bloodcrushers and princes up for a charge.
Turn 3
I dont have a pic but his 2 Genestealer squads outflanked at the opposite end leaving them away from the battle for the rest of the game and his painted genestealer squads charges one of my princes and only deals 1 wound, and i deal 2 in return killing 1 more in no retreat.
On my turn, Fateweaver shows up, and all my horrors pop in(who didnt do anything for the rest of the game xept avoid being shot at)
Bloodcrushers charge the stealers that assaulted the prince, due to bad rolling on his side, i wipe the squad out consolidate towards his guys.
Turn 4
He moves away from me and shoots.
M turn i get blood thirster in and a crusher squad. Crusher squad number 2 DSed near a fex. and the thirster had a bad
DS and landed smack right at the front of 2 Tyrants, one with guard, and a fex. I move the fate weaver, crushers, and princes to support my prince, and make sure i keep fate weaver close enough for the blood thirster to gain the oracle rule.
Turn 5
This was my favorite turn.
(Galrauch my Bloodthirster) you can see how close he DSed to the Tyranid
MCs.
And how i moved everyhting else to support him
Top view. (this was in the assault phase of the 5th turn)
As showed. he charged a Hive tyrant with guard, Flyrant, Carnifex towards my lone
BT. in the end of his assault, he got 2 wounds and my bloodthirster got.....NONE! thanks fateweaver!
My turn i just set up everything for a charge. in the ensuing assault phase my Prince(showed on the last pic) to assault the flyrant, bloodcrushers assault a fex engaging the
BT and a prince assaulting a dakkafex.
The Prince + some attacks of
BT+ no retreat rolls saw the death of the tyrant+ tyrant guard, Flyrant, and a fex. as well as my daemon prince was able to down the other fex with wounds and no retreat saves.
and thats the game he concedes when on the 6th turn i turn his last fex into a spawn.
KP
He got 1 (one horror squad)
I got 7
KP (Tyrant, Dakkafex, 2x Fex, Tyrant Guard, Gaunts, Painted genestealer Squad.
EDIT: Post battle thoughts:
I think the game went pretty much my plan. I was startled with the early stealer charge but i think i handled it pretty well, as for fateweaver, lets say, he can decide games at times and im really happy on what work my bloodthister and 3
DPs did. Im starting to see that booting a bit more points to kit out the
DP is worth it, and i think im the only one with a demented mind to make tzeentch
DPs CC oriented. with a 4+ invul, i can laugh of fists and power weapons. and with fateweaver there its gona take a while to take em down. and boon of mutation is the
lol.
