we both know i'm going to win this one dude....

Lets be sure and get a batrep in here before a month passes

Jest aside, look forward to reading your report. I have enjoyed your previous ones.

Good luck to you. Looking forward to the report as well.

Good luck to you this weekend.

If I recall correctly you are pretty good with your bugs. I wonder how you will do with what looks like a typical Godzilla list.

Round 1
Opponent Chaos Marines
Mission
5 objectives primary
i dont remember the secondary or tertiary's but they weren't important.
Deployment pitched battle

His list from memory
chaos lord- termie armor mark of khorne power fist

demon prince- wings

4 units of 8 berzerkers- power fists (3 had rhinos)

land raider

summoned greater daemon

2 defilers

He wins the roll to go first and takes it. He castles up in the center of his deployment zone. I deploy with a gaunt wall in front of my army, and get ready of the charging khorne army.

His Turn 1
He scoots up a little and takes pot shots at my army.

My Turn 1
I move up, my shooting immobilizes a rhino on the left flank and blow up another on the right. Then my army shoots the khorne berzerkers from that rhino dead.

His Turn 2
He presses forward on 1 side with his raider and prince. The rest of his army hangs back and tries to survive. Defilers take the center but there is still a good 14 or so incehes between my lines and his defilers.

My Turn 2
I throw 1 fex out of the safety gaunt wall in an attempt to charge the raider. Not that I expected to blow it up but it would hopefully lure out his lord and berzerkers. My shooting makes another rhino immobilizedd and weapon less and I kill a few khorne berzerkers that got out of the previously immobilized rhino to claim an objective. I also kill his demon prince. The fex charges the raider and actually kills it!

His Turn 3
He charges the fex a gaunt squad and a tyrant with his lord and berzerkers. After it all I lose the fex and the gaunts and i kill 3 berzerkers. I lose a guard from fearless saves. He moves a defiler off to the side to contest an objective and the other one heads up the center. His marines on the immobile flank get out and move torwards the objectives and try to hide.

My turn 3
I gang rape his khorne berzerkers that charged with another fex and a squad of stealers needless to say they all died. On the other flank I couldn't do muhc for fear of getting charged and not having supoort to back myself up, so we held there.

His Turn 4
He moved his defiler in the middle to contest an objective and then he tried to hide. His greater daemon came in and charged a fex but didnt do anything.

My Turn 4
I shot him up a lot. 1 tyrant and a squad of gaunts charged the defiler in the middle hoping to kill it so the gaunts could capture the objective he was sitting on. That failed though. I tried the same thing on the other flank with the other defiler but this time it worked. I shot 1 berzerker squad off the table.

His Turn 5
He just sits there. Theres nothing he can do all he has is 1 squad of berzerkers a greaster daemon in combat and a defiler in combat. The greater daemon wounds the fex and the defiler still lives.

My Turn 5
I shoot the last berzerker squad and charge it with stealers but I dont kill all of them and all my stealers die. His greater daemon still doesn't kill my fex. And my tyrant finally kills the defiler.

So we roll to see if it keeps going but it ends.

I get something like 2900 victory points from him. (The tournament had a weird system it was victory point based, you got a certain amount of ponts for the stuff you killed, killing the enemy's highest point unit, all their elites etc... and points for claiming obj's)

I end up with a commanding victory giving me 16/20 battle points. Not a bad start.

Next round tyranids.

I'm looking forward to reading all your batreps.

G

Grats on the win for round 1 looking forward to the rest.

Round 2
Oppnent tyranids
Mission
victory points- you get fouble victory points if you completely destroy a unit half victory points for taking it below half.

His list
2 tyrants- vennom cannon scything talon carapace

2 boom fex's- barbed strangler talons

1 dakkafex- 2 twin linked devourers enhanced sences

4 units of 8 stealers woth feeder tendrils

3 carnifex's- 2 sets of scything talons +1 sv + 1 T and plus 1 W (some other biomorphs i forgot)

He wins the roll for first and takes it. He deploys his army on about half the board with the stealers behing all fo the fext and tyrants. I deploy on the opposite half of the board with my gaunt wall up and stealers ready for a counter charge.

Rest will be up soon.

His Turn 1
He moves up with his army and runs his heavy fex'sin front since those are going to be nearly impossible for me to kill with shooting.

My Turn 1
I move up, upkeeping my gaunt wall. I kill the 1 boomfex that got into my range with 1 tyrant and 1 dakkafex and then between 2 dakka fex's and a tyrant shooting at a heavy I put 1wound on it... this is not good... My heavy fex's start chipping away at his stealers.

His Turn 2
He runs forward again hes with 12" of my army with his 3 heavy fex's now.

My Turn 2
I realisze that there are 2 things I could do try to out run him and keep shooting him or charg his heavy fexs with my tyrants and stealers and do as much damage as possible. I decide to charge aftr shooting accomplishes nothing but a few dead genestealers I have 1 tyrant and guard charge a heavy fex and a squad of stealers charge another. The fex charged by the tyrant is fine, I was really hoping implant atack would save me but no since I couldn't wound T7, and the stealers mangaged to put 3 wounds on their fex. Luckily I repositioned the gaunt wall to block any of his fex's from getting into combat as a counter charge.

His Turn 3
He runs forward getting dangerously close to my army. And charges my stealers that were in combat woth his fex with his stealers and then he charges more stealers into my tyrant. The tyrant unit is down to 1 guard with 1 wound and the tyrant puts 2 wounds on the fex. My stealers do nothing and die.

My Turn 3
I charge my second squad of stealers into the tyrant fex stealer clusterfeth combat with an end result of him losing most of his stealers, me losing all but 1 fo mine, and me losing all of my guard. I put up a gaunt wall around 1 fex who was out by my tyrant that was in combat and he shot up the stealers as beast as he could. The rest ofmy army abandons that flank and starts moving away and shhoting.

His Turn 4
He charges another fex into the tyrant combat. The end result there is me with a dead tyrant him with 1 dead heavy fex and the other heavy fex still has 2 wounds left me losing all of my gene stealers and me killing all but 3 of his. His 3rd heavy fex charges and a squad of stealers charge the gaunt wall I put up so now theres going to be some dakkafex vs godfex action going on. And the rest of his army began to chase mine.

My Turn 4
Run away abd shoot I bring the heavy fex with 2 wounds down to 1 I kill most of the stealers. I also send 1 tyrant (who has lost his guard to 4 turns of vennom cannon shots) at his tyrant that was isolated from the rest of his army and 1 turn it, however my tyrant only has 1 wound left. I put up a a gaunt wall using without number to surround my dakkafex to block the charge and try to kill some more stealers.

His Turn 5
He moves forward kills my gaunt wall again. Then runs his army torwards mine. The only thing he has in charge range of my almost ddead tyrant is his almost dead heavy fex so he moves it to get ready to charge hoping toughness seven will save him. But it never even came down to that my tyrant died to his stupid boomfex in the throwing a barbedstrangler at him and me rolling a 1 for his save.

My Turn 5
I throw my army's shooting at his almost dead heavy fex but I just can't get him, I also can no longer protect my carnifex with gaunts because he is an inch away and they cant get inbetween them so he shoots some stealers and gets ready to take it up the ass.

He rolls for turn 6 and gets it!

His Turn 6
All his remaining genestealers run away and his last heavy fex eats my dakkafex alive.

My Turn 6
I shoot my army at his heavy fex again and finally get him! And my last dakkafex that didn't shhot shoots his dakkafex, puts 2 wounds on it and I charge it and kill it in an awesome display of awesomeness.

The game ends and this is what it looks like
I killed 2 squads of stealers and got 1 below half, 1 tyrant, 1 boomfex, 1 dakkafex, and 2 heavyfex's.
He killed a grand total of I think 5 squads of gaunts (yay witout number bit me in the ass), both tyrants and guard, 1 dakkafex and both stealer squads.

Victory point wise he wins by I think 450 giving him a morale victory, he git a 12 out of that and I got a 6.

I think in hindsight I should've just ran away instead of charged but whatever, it was a fun really close great game.

Next Round orks!

Jailbait is this you?

yes, yermom is jailbait.

I am indeed jailbait who are you kesher?

Don't go OT with hte g3hy please.

G

Nick:

It definitely was an interesting game. You left your Devourer Fex's mostly on your right flank which allowed me to come straight at you while your Fex's tried to get in range.

What was not mentioned was that this specific mission awarded double victory points for units that were wiped out. You kept bringing your without number gaunts right back into the frey and I kept wiping them out. In the end I killed 6 units of Gaunts totaling 700+ points. That certainly tipped the scales.

I made one slight error on the last turn as I neglected to move my Devourer Fex out of charge range of your Fex.

All in all a good game.
Best,
Paul

Round 3
Opponent Orks
Mission- 1 objective in eache deployment zone, each objective was worth 1800 VP's or someting stupid.

His List from memors
big mek- SAG

tank bustas

1 unit of 30 slugga boyz with klaw

2 units of 20 shootas no nob

1 unit of 20 ard boyz with uge choppa

some number of grots

dread

2 units of 20 storm boyz

Deployment he wins first turn and takes it he deploys his army in charging formation with a screen of ardboyz in front. He puts his objective in the way back with 200 shootas sitting on it. I deploy my army in ready to charge formation with 1 gaunt squad on the objective and 2 putting up a wall. Stealers were put in outflank.

His Turn 1
Move forward maybe put a wound here or there on a fex.

My Turn 1
Move up I decimate his ard boyz unit and my heavy fex's start chipping away at the storm boyz who were moving up the flank.

His Turn 2
He moves up 1 storm boy unit get ballsy and charges my gaunt wall and ONLY my gaunt wall...

My Turn 2
I wreck the storm boy unit with my shooting. Both stealer squads came in 1 on his side 1 on mine. The 1 on my side moves up to help the gaunts secure my objective and the other squad charges into the 30 sluggas (i couldnt get to the shootas on the objective because he clogged up the side of the board with sluggas) and between stealer charge and shooting I kill about 20 of them and lose 5 stealers. My gaunts WON on the other side of my table edge.

His Turn 3
His second storm boy unit counter charges and charges a tyrant and 2 fex's. That didn't end well since he didn't have a klaw. My stealers in combat died.

My Turn 3
The gaunt squad that WON runs for his objective. My tyrant and 4 fex's push forward killing al in their path including the rest of the sluggas and the unit of shootas not on his objective.

His Turn 4
He surrounds his shootas on the objective with grots and his big mek misfired and charged the carnifex he was trying to shoot. My carnifex ate him.

My Turn 4
Gaunts move up! Were still about 16 inches from the objective. My tyrant and 4 fex's who now had nothjing in range moved forward as fast as ppossible and 1 fex made a pit stop for his dreadnaught and made quick work of it. The other tyrant and 2 fex are almost done with the storm boyz

His Turn 5
His tank bustas roll well and pop an elite fex. His shootas shoot my gaunts and kill all but 1.

My Turn 5
I shoot his grots and go they go to ground from the first carnifex to shoot them. My 1 gaunt moves up as close as possible about 9" away after fleet. The rest of my army shoots his shootas hes got 2 left and they run right off the table despite the bosspole.

We roll for Turn 6 and get it!

His Turn 6
Hes got nothing he can do. Hi grots are pinned his tank bustas cant see my 1 gaunt and his storm boys have 2 guys left.

My Turn 6
I kill the grots that are in the. And my 1 gaunt captures his objective.

We roll for it and the game ends.

20 for my nids! I needed that. That puts me somewher in the realm of 4-6th place for sunday, not a bad position.

Next Round Necrons!

Round 4
Opponent Necrons
Mission
Table quarters and victory points
Deployment spearhead

His List

Deciever

10 immortals

11 warriors

11 warriors

4 destroyers

4 destroyers

monolith

monolith

So he wins the roll for first and takes it. He deploys pretty centally with both monoliths ready to charge at me. I hold 1 squad of stealers in outflank.

His Turn 1
He moves up, keeps the deciever fairly well hidden by the monoltihs and pushes them into my 2 quarters to contest them. His destroyers all shoot an elite fex and down he goes.

My Turn 1
My army moves up and 1 fex shoots a monolith and immobilizes it! My 1 tyrant that could see his deciever shoots him and puts a wound on him. I kill 1 squad of destroyers The rest of my army takes pot shots at his.

His Turn 2
He moves up with the not immobilized monolith and he uses them to block my LOS. He brings an elite fex down to 1 wound with shooting. His deciever charges my tyrant and we do nothing.

My Turn 2
I fail at doing anything to his monoliths in combat again and I move up and shoot his army. The deciever hops out of combat before blows are struck.

His Turn 3
The deciever recharges my tyrnant and kills a guard I do nothing back. His army finishes the wounded dakkafex.

My Turn 3
I charge the not immobilized fex and kill it. The other monolith has its portal being blocked by gaunts. My stealers that did not outflank and a heavy fex multi charge a squad of warriors and his 10 immortals and i win combat and sweep both. The deciever does 1 wound to my guard my tyrant does 2 wounds back thanks to implant atack and the guard also does a wound with rending deciever loses combat and pops.

His Turn 4
RUN AWAY!!! Really thats all he did and he tried to shoot at a fex with the destroyers.

My Turn 4
I shoot away his last squad of warriors and phase him.

So I get 18 for that. That bumps me up to 60 points and first place since everyone ahead of me either drew or got minor wins.

Next Round Guard on table 1!

Fun reports. I wish I could have gone. Hope I can make it next year, but my wife's birthday was Saturday, so I'm also hoping they change the date to another weekend.

Ragnar, unfortunately it's the same weekend (Nov. 5-7). It'd be great to have you come down to our event, so maybe you can work something out with the missus. Next year we'll officially be part of GW's indy circuit, and it should be an even bigger and better event. Maybe you can give my reformulated Genestealer Cult a rematch.

Sorry for the thread hijacking...back to your regularly scheduled battle reporting.

Round 5
Opponent Guard
Mission kill al the enemy troops for +1500 vp's kill all enemy HQ's for +600 vp's then normal victory points

His list
command squad astropath 4 meltas
chimera

psyker battle squad
chimera

6 vet squads with assortments of weapons all in chimeras

2 vandettas

2 hydras

2 manticores

He wins the roll for first and deploys everything all castled up in the dead center of hs deployment zone. I deploy a wall but leave all my troops in reserve and put the stealers into outflank.

His Turn 1
He shoots a lot... brings a heavy fex to 1 wound and kills a guard from a tyrant along with wounding that tyrant twice.

My Turn 1
move up and run! my heavy fex immobilizes a chimera with the command squad 1 vandetta and stuns another.

His Turn 2
He moves up wuth 3 chimeras and a vandetta all on the left side of my wall which has already been shot up from last turn. He unloads and gets the wounded fex the rest of the tyrant and another fex. Note: at some point is command squad did unload.

My Turn 2
I pull the wall from just rushing at him down the center to the left to stay out of melta range and fight off the part of the army that attacked me. I kill his vandetta 2 vet squads and a chimera along with having my tyrant knock his command squad to a man. Oh and all but 1 squad of gaunts came, I brought them in a congo line accross my board edge spread to minimize casulties from the manticores who only have 2 rounds left in them.

His Turn 3
His army stays put on the right. It shoots and kill another fex and the remainders of his left flank just pull back 12". His last member of the command squad hop in his immobilized vandetta.

My Turn 4
I bring on the other squad of guants also in congo formation. My 4 remaining big guys chase all his tanks on the left I think I got an empty chimera. I also blow away his 2 hydras with a dakkafex into the side armor.

His Turn 5
He pulls away from me moving to the right and hurts another fex

My Turn 5
Chase him try to get his commander out of the vandetta but fail

His Turn 6
Run away some more kill the wounded fex

My Turn 6
Chase him but do nothing

The game ends lets recap
Neither of us killed all of their troops or HQ's so straight up victory points

He got
1 squad of stealers (with the manticores)
2 dakka fex's
2 heavy fex's
1 tyrant + guard

I got
4 chimeras
1.5 vandettas
.5 command squad
3 vet squads
hydras

(I might be forgetting something)

So I turns out to be a draw 168 in his favor if I recall.

I'm now second as far as battle points some guy on table 4 got a masacre and my round 5 opponent had a VERY heavily converted and painted army so he probably got me because of appearance.

In the end I ended up winning 2nd best general.

Not bad overall a good fun tournament.

Thanks for the battle reports Yermom, I have been trying to find out the standings of this event, but information is hard to find. Thanks again.

Wow mech vet IG is definitely a hard list. Sounds like the game was literally a blast!

The results are up now.

http://www.themechanicon.com/1/

Tons of pics and video coverage will up soon.

hah, nick, damnit, you beat me by 3 points ....

yermom is 8th, i'm 9th.

I should probably work on my sportsmanship.... oh well. I suppose i'll threaten my opponents less.

curious though... jeff payne had the most battlepoints, but he didn't get best general... best general was a much better prize than 2nd overall. i'd be pissed if I was him.

Thanks for the reports Nick. Congrats on second best general.

Good to see you doing well with bugs. I should bring out my bugs again.

Game 5 sounds really familar. Hopefully will have my guard all done by Jan.

I might go to Mechanicon next year. Sounded fun.
