So this weekend I headed down to the Bugeater GT in Omaha, Nebraska. It was a great event and here are two quick links:

Was there a copy paste error? Says Round 2 instead of 3 and the objectives look to be identicle to the last round. Edit -- reading fail on my part, objectives are same order but noted as pst in parantheses.

Great batrep though and nice use of DW assault. Getting stuff up in IGs grill has been paying dividends for you in two games now.

Good job Hulk! Now you have me rethinking whether I need to remove the vehicles/dreads from my deathwing or not.

@Winterman

I forgot to change it to Round 3, fixed it. They were the same primary with the secondary/tertiary flipping places.

@Whitedragon

I don't like vehicles in a terminator based army. Primary reason being it gives all those missile launchers and auto-cannons better targets to earn their points back.

Well played hulk, good batrep as always. I am surprised he only took down one terminator in the first round. Out of curiosity, how do you play against daemons? Do you deploy everything and spread out to cover ground, or deep strike too and play their game?

Good job on the battle reports hulk. I've been playing deathwing for years now and like it's shown in your games their deployment options always seem to throw your opponents off their game. It's even more fun when you toss bikes in and all of a sudden they drop down very accurately.

So the guy has no bases for his models but he accuses you of loaded dice? What a tool...

If you look in the comments you'll see that this was resolved amiably.

Great report, Hulk! I'm really interested to see the Deathwing in action, and looking forward to the rest of your reports as well! On an unrelated note, will you be attending the Bay Area Open in the end of July?

Hulk stated that the guy didn't accuse him of loaded dice "per-se", but rather thought he could increase his odds if Hulk used the tourney provided dice.

Are you a politician by any chance?

How do you equip Belial, don't see that in your list?

And after reading some of your reports, Belial usually does about as well for me. He's either killing Daemon Princes single handedly or getting clubbed by lasrifle butts.

He's TH/SS since I felt like he needed an Inv. I think the best he did all weekend was game 3 where he managed to win the combat against the blob which then managed to fail 2 leadership 9 tests and flee off the board. Otherwise he was insta-gibbed or losing combat to basic 4 basic guardsmen
