You were so close! You could have had him easy if the game continued.

Oh well, at least you proved Nids aren't doomed against the mass mech spam.

Then the BA army would tank shock them into nice, tight flamer bait. With guards, destroy their tanks and then tank shock them into nice, tight flamer bait.....and then assault them.

Looks that way. My tervigon would've destroyed his immobilised baal on my objective next turn, and I was in good position to contest his objective. If the game went to 7, who knows....I might have even been able to pull off the table.

Then again, I was rolling better than normal here, especially on my cover saves.

Great batrep. Disappointing the game had to end as early as it did, I think you might have been able to, as others have said, pull off a win if it had gone on. Pulling an almost-win against this kind of blood angels list is extremely good, if I may say so myself.

Maybe next time.

That's just the way the cookie crumbles, or should I say, the dice rolls....

I was surprised I was doing so well. The dice rolls were going my way most of the game. Too bad I didn't get the one that mattered the most.

I felt that if he was slightly more aggressive, he might have done better. For example, if he pulled forward with his Razorbacks into plasma range and then pulled back thereafters, he should've been able to shoot me with his plasmas on turn 1 as well. Then again, we will all learn from experience such as these.
