Sinewy Scourge




Victory: Venom Spam vs Nids. Went first, killed 5 MCs including all tyrants. Gaunts broke off the table due to synapse. Instant concession, which was fair.

Defeat: Tau seized on a Dark Eldar/Eldar jetbike list, killed all 3 supporting venoms, which all exploded, killed all the passengers and all caused casualties to the surrounding bikers. 2 of which were LD 10 with Farseers in and full reaver squads to boot. These both fled off the board, leaving me with a couple of windrider units and some planes in reserve. Game done.

Defeat: We were fairly new to the game and my opponent INSISTED he could use his cover, armour, inv and fnp saves... all of them. so it ended with his Dante Hq killing my last unit of dark reapers.
Victory: Surrendered at the end of my second turn, flesh hounds ran him off the board.

Sadistic Inquisitorial Excruciator





Most crushing victory: Sisters of Battle vs. Chaos at 750.

He had:
-some cultists and a sorceror
-3 plasma cannon obliterators
-10 CSM with CCW and a Rhino
-Helldrake

I had:
-St Celestine
-5 Seraphim (2x Handflamers)
-5 Dominions w/4 melta guns in an Immolator + Ministorum Priest
-2 x 5 Battle Sister Squad with 2 melta guns (no transport)
-5 Retributors w/4 Heavy Bolters

I went first.

Turn 1:
Retributors activate act of faith to give themselves Rending and shoot the Obliterators with Heavy Bolters. He fails both invuln saves vs. rending wounds and 1 against a regular wound.
Immolator fires its multimelta at the Obliterators finishing off the second guy (4+ cover save for ruins failed)
Dominions pop out and try to blow up the rhino, but fail. (They also captured an objective, justifying how they ended up in charge range.)
Celestine moved up.

Enemy Turn 1:
His surviving plasma cannon gets hot.
He tries to cast Invisibility but doesn't put enough dice into it.
10 CSM shoot my Dominions with bolt pistols killing the Sister Superior (and maybe one of the melta sisters)
10 CSM charge my Dominions. 1 falls to overwatch from 4 melta guns. The Sgt. Challenges and the priest accepts. The priest makes his saves then kills the Sgt. and a nearby CSM. The CSM kill 1 dominion with their 27 attacks (rerollable 3+ FTW).

Turn 2:
Random things in my army finish off the oblit.
Celestine and her squad inflict 20+ wounds on the cultists with the Hand-Flamers wiping the squad and sorceror before they can even fire Celestine's flamer or their pistols.
I lose another sister in the fight between the CSM and Dominions.

His Turn 2:
He fails his reserve roll. No Helldrake.
He kills another sister in the assault.

Turn 3:
The Dominions and Celestine join the assault. Celestine kills 6 CSM (Yeah... 3+ to hit (one reroll) 3+ to wound, no saves on 6 attacks = 6 dead.) The priest dies. The celestians kill the last CSM.
Somehow the Rhino dies?

Opponent Concedes as he doesn't want to play 4 turns of Helldrake vs. whole army given that he's down 10-1 at this point.

ObSec gave him his only point as the CSM took the objective from my dominions. Had we played it out, the score would have probably been somewhere stupidly high to 1 (or 2 with linebreaker). I think it was the mission where you can score any tactical objectives your opponent draws and at one point I was sitting on 5 of the 6 objectives (and the 6th was behind my lines).

Worst loss: Any time I've been tabled. Usually it's turn 6 or 7?

Last week, played against an absolutely beaufitul Red Scorpions army.

Him
Commander Culn
Severin Loth
10 Honour Guard with varying loadout
3x Tactical Squads
Fire Raptor

Me
Overlord on CCB
2x Immortal Squads
5x Deathmarks
2x Doom Scythes
Doomsday Ark

Culexus Assassin

I was nervous at first going against the Loth deathstar, but my Culexus absolutely annihilated it. Got him within 12" of Loth, who from then on could only harness Warp Charges on a 6 with no bonus because of his Mastery Level, and I lobbed a Psyk-Out Grenade his way. Missed him, but it only has to hit the unit in general. Loth failed Perils, caused 4 S6 Ap1 hits on the unit, killing 3 HG members, and the rest of the army was wiped out quickly before the Fire Raptor showed up with only on casualty - the Culexus.

On moon miranda.

Just had my first game against the new Harlequins.

It was not pretty, I had killed almost everything by turn three and tabled them turn 5 without the loss of a single guardsmen.

They really don't feel like a completed army, they really seem only half or a third of a codex, much like Skitarii. They also seem to be built very much along the lines of Dark Eldar, with lots of powerful wargear and stats to give them a leg up over elite units, but just get torn to pieces when faced with an opponent with large numbers of units and lots of shooting.

IRON WITHIN, IRON WITHOUT.

New Heavy Gear Log! Also...Grey Knights!
The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts.

Devastating Dark Reaper






Victory -

My eldar vs daemons. I went first - had 9 war walkers with scatter lasers and killed most of his psychic guys and princes before they had a chance to get their invuln saves up. He realised on his turn that he had hardly any warp charges to summon with an conceded turn 1. Most boring game ever.

Loss -
My eldar with BA allies vs space wolves. Hadn't figured wolves out at this point and brought a sub-standard list of BA which I had just painted. Think I killed 3 models and had only a handful left by turn 5

Was 6th edition eldar versus my tau.

I had a heavy troop army and he used wave serpent spam. He then insta killed both my riptides with his one wraithknight.

I'd like to propose a third option, Survived Long enough to annoy your opponent, even though he had an army that would obviouslt win or the Hard to Boil or Though Skin.

Crushing Victory;

2k games my World Eaters Vs DA;
- JuggerAxelord with Bikes, Kharn+CHosens in LR, Heldrake, 1 CSm and 1 Zerkers, Maulerfiednd+Defiler.
-Belial+10 Termies, 5Knights termies, a few MSU bikes units, 2MSU Tacs the Speeder thingy that gives all the DA models a cover save and maybe something else but can't remember.

SHort story Kharn +CHosen and Juggerlord+Bikes are in a pincher attack position with His Belial +10 Termis, Kharn Challenge Belial kills him, JuggerLord totally wipes the whole Termie squad( he din't secure a single save in this phase).
Rest of the game was a one side carnage, he got tabled by start of turn 3.

Crushing Defeat;

2k games Vs SW+ Hellhammer.
-Same as above for me.
-the usuall THW cavs list+ a Hellhammer, that i was obvlious that he would play it, has i though he was kidding me, but ended up playing with it.

Was tabled by start of turn 3.

Though Skin game;

Won one Vs Tau with a heavy Exo armor list with Pathfinders and 2 Riptides.
Mauler and Defiler engage both Riptides, manage to kill one and sweep advance the other.

But by the 5th turn of the game i was down to 5 models, one of wich was an Zerkers CHamp in the ruins where the Relic was, i manage to hide in this ruin to block all LoS from his exo suits and woul'd have taking him and extra turn to be in position to shoot him down.

Only a small unit of Fire Warriors could kill him, but i managed to roll the Cosmic fate/destiny boon with him and Feel no pain.

He fire at him, i manage to survive with FnP and rerolls, he tries to charge him with his FW, only one of them is in range to assault( poor roll), i manage to get an Overwatch shoot at him, kill the FW and he fails his charge.

I win the game, with my Zerker Champion standing in the ruins shouting to the skies with his arms up.

He was kinda irritated, but though that its was a funny ending to a great Cliffhanger, he still had two Fire warriors squads, 1 Ethearal, 2 Missiles pods Broadsides teams and an reduced Pathfinder team, while i had my Champ that won me the game, 3 Chosens and one bike.

New Hampshire

Victory: Orks (me) vs Space Marines
My opponent was just starting out and the only vehicles he had was a rhino and a dreadnought, I had a metric ton of boyz with some battlewagon backup and I took some casualties first 2 turns but once I got in close it was no contest.

Defeat: Orks vs Grey Knights
I had a huge outnumber advantage, but I couldn't do crap for damage. My footsloggin' battlewagon backup against dreadknights got severely tabled. 3 units retreated off the board. and those pesky 2+ saves prevented me from winning any combats.

WAAAGH!!!
