White Devil and I teamed up yesterday. Here is a picture of the store front...
Here are our two army lists:
Chaos Space Marines (GBF)
Daemon Prince, Wings,
MoS, Lash of Submission
Daemon Prince, Wings,
MoS, Lash of Submission
4x Nurghal Marines/2x meltagun, Icon
Champion/power fist
Rhino/extra armor
4x Nurghal Marine/2x meltagun, Icon
Champion/power fist
Rhino/Extra armor
4x Nurghal Marine/2x meltagun, Icon
Champion/power fist
Rhino/Extra armor
Chaos Daemons (White Devil)
Fateweaver
Tally Man
5x Plague Bearers
3x nurglings
5x Blood Crushers/Intrument
5x Blood Crushers/Intrument
Each list could be up to 1000 points and had to follow the standard rules for the
FOC but there were no restrictions like Adepticon. We were allowed to use the
CSM icons for our daemons and the Tally Man could boost the Nurghal Marines. Also Fateweaver's bubble also worked for
CSM (all friendly models). So the two lists were designed to heavily juice each other.
The tournament was held at the new Skul-N-Bonz gaming store in Port Richey, Florida at 6209 Ridge Road. There were a lot of teams there will some of the following combos:
Chaos Space Marines & Orks (round 1)

In this mission you selected one unit from each army to carry a demo charge. Only these units could hold objectives. I selected one of my Nurghal Marine squads and White Devil selected his Fate Weaver. Our opponents selected their shoota boys and the Chaos terminators. Here was their initial setup with the Ork/Chaos horde formation... sorry but you can only see a few of the vast greenskin mobs...
Each team placed two objectives. You had to control the most objectives for the primary, the secondary was table quarters and the tertiary was victory points. This mission also featured a warp table. At the start of each turn you rolled
2d6 to see what would happen. The first turn was night fight. There was plenty of terrain on the table. White Devil selected the following units for his first wave:
Fateweaver & both Bloodcrusher squads
We also won the roll for deployment and chose to go first. I setup my three rhinos behind cover with the two lash princes behind them. Our opponents setup both of their demo charge units across the table from my brick and held everything else in reserve. The objectives were all placed fairly close together close to my brick of rhinos and the two daemon princes. Our opponents rolled to seize the initiative and up popped a six. Oh well. The beginning was looking good for our opponents, a lively pair for sure. Here are the members of the first team we played...
They had
some fantastic looking minis and the ork/
CSM combination was something I really hadn't considered for a matchup. We had a lot of orks and those eight Chaos terminators surging in towards the objectives. Not any shooting as all their foot sloggers run toward the two main objectives. Our turn White Devil rolls for his first wave and in comes Kairos and the crushers. I start to feel a little better but White aDevil is feeling a little ill in the morning... Probably from the beers and wings the night before. My rhinos move up cutting off all corridors between buildings and the lash princes come in close enough so that everything is in Fateweaver's bubble. Here is one of our lash princes chilling behind a Nurghal rhino waiting for the approaching horde to come in range of the submission move...
One prince lashes the Chaos terminators closer and they pass their pinning check. The other lash prince goes for the double lash and pulls the Chaos terminators even closer. Again they pass their pinning check. The Nurghal Marines unload all their meltas and cap three of the terminators. They pass their leadership test from the shooting.
Second turn the opponents roll for all their reserves and everything comes in ! Wow just wow. Here are the opponents' Chaos Rhinos along with their Lash Prince...
The Lootas move and run into a building in the far corner from where our objectives are located. The lash prince and Nurghal Marines roll onto the table at full speed heading towards our lines. The Chaos terminators and ork hordes come up towards the objectives. The ork hordes are not going to he in range to assault but the Chaos terminators rapid fire their plasma into a hull down Nurghal rhino then assault it but can only manage to immobilize it. This happens to be our rhino carrying a demo charge but it is sitting right up on one of the two objectives. Their lash prince is definitely put of lash range so he runs up using their two rhinos for cover.
Our turn the two princes double lash the orks carrying the demo charge into crusher charge range and the Nurghal meltas cap the rest of the Chaos terminators. The first demo charge explodes but nothing is touched by the blast. Fateweaver spawns the ork nob then the crushers charge and vaporize their second unit carrying a demo charge. The second demo charge goes off and puts one wound on a crusher. And finally the aftermath of the initial confrontation versus the horde...
The opponents can no longer control either objective since we capped their two demo charge units so they will have to try throwing everything at us to contest. By the way none of White Devil's reserves came in this turn.
The rest of the game was spent trying to decimate as much of the enemy as possible. There was one killa kan that survived at least eight rounds of close combat versus a daemon prince that could not roll a 5 or 6 to destroy on the
AP table to save his life... it was a hoot for sure. We won with a massacre and were ready for a much needed break before the second round. I was using the club dice... someone must have swiped all my PIMP dice at Adepticon...
I still have one though...
