So this is our (Me and Incurus') 6th game.
For me that means its my 6th game ever, hence the small sized army.

Our previous game we booked into GW and had a very nice staff member help us and go through the rules with us, which was good as it pointed out some of the rules we've been missing.

Our mission type was C & C, deploying in spearhead.

Incurus' Slaneeshi army:-
HQ - DP w lash
Troops - 6 noise marines w sonic blasters and doom blaster
Troops - 6 noise marines w sonic blasters and doom siren in rhino

Hangfire's Ulthwe army
HQ - Farseer plus 6 warlock seer council
Troops - 3 jetbikes w shuriken cannon
Troops - 3 jetbikes w shuriken cannon
Heavy - Wraithlord w scatter laser, wraith sword

Now so far I have not won a single game and this is only my second game deploying a wraithlord, so i'm desperate for a win...

The objectives were the central webway gate (which blocks los), the building to my right (near the red dice) and the ruins with the red and white tiles



Turn 1

So i've learned how easily my jetbikes go down, so I planned to keep them behind cover and nearish objectives for turbo boost capture purposes.
No firing and no assault (move jetbikes)

Inc
Moved doom blast squad to objective, DP and Rhino move forwards, as you can see in the next photo Incurus likes to shield his DP with the rhino until it's within striking distance.
In his firing phase the twin linked bolters fire at my jet bikes, but the 2s mean he missed. (Side note - should he have been rolling 2 dice?)

Turn 2 - Bring the pain
HF
Like I said I was desperate for a win, so I popped my jetbikes on the left over the ruins to attack with the shuri cannon, in the full knowledge I could move them out of LOS in the assault phase.
One bike had to land in the ruins, but passed his dang terrain test. Fired - nothing, due to the embarressment felt by my jet bikes them decided to then fly at full speed into side of the ruins, as I roll 2 1's for their dang terrain test in the assault phase. I ran the wraithlord and moved the seer council round to throw spears at the rhino, they fail to make any impression as does the shuriken cannon on the other squad of bikes.

In time honoured tradition Incurus moces his rhino up to spill out the doom siren squad, one doom siren later and I've lost 2 or 3 warlocks, the doom blast squad have los to my remaingin jetbike so doom blast him to kingdom come. Finally the DP swoops in for a bit of CC with the seer council. IIRC I'm left with the farseer and 2 warlocks.

GTG to work now, so i'll finish this later - but this is fairly typical of our games :(

No he shouldnt be rolling 2 dice for his rhinos gun. Its a twin-linked bolter not a stormbolter. He gets to reroll misses.

Good report so far.

Well, I was thinking about this on the way into work, I think he was firing on Rapid fire rules, range 24'' ?

Yep - rapid fire when in 12'' is why i get to fire twice due to rapid fire (as we learnt from the game before via helpfull GW staffer!)

Glad to see it up Hang! Looking forward to seeing the rest of it - Really enjoyed playing on some nice terrain too, fighting eldar with a webway gate was amazing too! Though i had to resist the urge to randomly shoot it as my imagination had sonic blasts randomly appearing inside a random craftworld!

Remember your bolter is still twinlinked when rapid firing. Within 12" you get two shots with rerolls.

(Incidentally, some players will roll two dice for a single twin-linked shot resulting in a single hit if either or both of the dice are high enough. This isn't cheating but don't be afraid to ask them to stop or slow down if you're not 100% sure what they are doing.)
