chimera with heavy stubber and ea

wolf lord
mark of the wulven
something else maybe

2x vet squads with
sgts wit pws
3 meltas
chimera with ea and stubber

a grey hunter squad i think with
2 plasmas
and a sergent i guess with another wulven mark
in a dropod with the lord

1 exercutioner with plama sides

1 longfang squad
5 guys
4 missles

and 1 vendetta unsure of the upgrades

and for our game we had retrive the relic on short table edge deployment, no night fighting, i got the commander trait which lets me reroll reserves and i swapped out the doombolts for one pyro power and one telepathy, and got spontainius combustion and the one that forces a unit to take a leadership test every time it did something. we had a rive and got daemic bile for the river type. i had my chaos lord in with a squad of 1k sons who had the telepathy power, his wolf lord was in with the grey hunters.

first turn he kept the pod in reserves
he moved the vet squads chimeras up and then proceded to shooting, forgot to do commands
the chimeras shot at my havocs and did nothing.
he attempted to fire the executioner but it was out of range
the long fang squad shot at the rhino with my lord and thousand sons, blew it up, no causlties taken. then we proceded to my turn one.

my turn one
my sceond rhino moved at crusing speed towards the relic
my 1k sons with the lord moved up, then in went to shooting
took out a long fang with one of my obliterators
my rhino moved flat out in the shooting and got near the relic
havoc squad 1 wrecked 1 vet chimera with a ton of glancing hits forcing disenbarkcation and my second havoc squad attempted to do the same to the ohter, but failed

turn two
neither the vendetta or droppod came in
he moved up the footsloging vets and second chimera he issued orders to the long fangs, we found out that was wrong later but it didnt affect anything
his executioner shot at my rhino, the turret overheated and took a glancing hit, the side plasma cannon missed
he fired his long fangs missles 3 frags into my havoc squad in the aegius line and a krak at my rhino near the objective took off a hull point., the frag blasts surpisenly missed 6 havocs and scattered off each time at the same disancte two even went in the same direction.
the two chimeras that were left didnt doo much, even though they did fired it didnt do anything

my turn two
i rolled for my otflanking chosen, failed the roll once but made the second with te reroll trait. and managed to out flank to behind the executioner and moved in six, then deployed the meltas behind the tank
1k sons with lord moved up
1k sons in rhino
mooved t shooting
havoc 1 fired at the long fangs, took down another
havoc two wrecked the second vet chimera
the recently deployed chosen blew up the russ
the 1k sons who grabbed the relic took pot shots at the vet squad closest to them and forced them to run,
oblits took pot shots at the command chimera didnt do anything

turn three
his vendetta and droppod came in, the droppod fell next to the 1ksons who grabbed the relic, his vendetta flew up near the vets who wernt running and moved those vets up a bit
his other vets regroupped.
he issued orders to the longfangs, again he didnt now about the faq rules
at the end of his movent my quad cannon shout down his vendetta, after failing its jink saves it blew up killing a vet with a melta
his ccs in the chimea shot up 3 of my meltas chosen the recently regrouped vets shot at them as well, i only had the flamer a single melta and regular chosen alive and the passed thier morale.
his hunts shot at the 1k sons with the relic, this squad also had the pyromancer with the combustion power he dided in the volley though one plama gun hunter got hot and died, luckily i had three 1k sons left. and the relic
the long fangs killed one of my havocs with an auto cannons from the squad in the defense line

my turn 3
i renbarked the 3 sons into the rhino and moved back 6
i moved up the 1k sons with lord
i fired the obliterators mm at the droppod and destroyed the bolter then havocs squad 1 wrecked the pod
the 1k sons squad fired at the spacewolved killing off 6
the secnd havoc in the defense line fired at the vet squad closest to them killing off all but three
my chosens rhino fired at the melta vets near it, killed 1
my chosen attempted to damage the command cheimera, and took off a hp

turn 4.
he moved both vets squad
the ccs fired at my chosen taking off the flamer, and the vet squad did the same killing the normal guy, he would have killed the last melta but he rolled very bad. same with e chimera's multi laser
long fangs popped the rhino with the relic
wolf lord and the rest of the wolves attempted to charge the 1k sons with the relic, but failed the charge through difficult terrain

my turn 4
the melta chosen ran
the 1k sons with lord moved forward
the 1k sonss with relic moved back
a snapshot fromt he melta was fired at the command chimera and missed
the 1k sons with the relic killed off the last of the wolves and the wolf lord
my obliterators and havoc squad 1 fired at the long fangs killed another
my second havoc squad finished off the vets closest to them

turn 5
he didnt issue orders to the long fangs because he thought it wouldnt do much
his command squad took out the running chosen and the vet squad blew up the immobilized rhino,
the longfangs fired and it didnt do anything

i had a turn 5, but it wasnt really needed we called it after i finihed moving my 1k sons

so i had the relic and the secondary objective called first blood and i would have had the objective line breaker but he too out my only two models in his deployment zone

we might have had some stuff wrong, but we had fun and my friend is rethinking about a few things.

Sounds interesting. Good work in how you played your army as well.

Kudos

most likely because my friend still dosnt know too many of the rules yet, as with a ton of other people who may rely on thier firends interpretation of the rules because they cant afford to get the book yet .
and that i was making a list for every occation. with csm and chaos daemons, fortifications are a big help for me at least since its a cheap thing to take, one thing i think i may see a lot of for people who dont have hydras or cant take guard a ally will be feilding a quad cannon. most every time

You said he has the pod stay in reserves. Is there a new rule I missed that turns off Drop Pod Assault? Cause otherwise that should have auto come in on turn one.

Good that you noticed the CC can't issue commands to Long Fangs. That would just be... well, rather silly.
Sounds like a fun game.
Glory to Chaos.

nohe just decided to not use the droppod assault rules, he regretted it later though

Kinda don't have a choice on that one

well i know nothing on droppod assault rules, i let my friend make that choice, i did mess him up because landing right infront of a couple squads of 1k sons....never a good choice
