As title, how has the table effected you in games so far?

Have you had a game winning/losing situation because of the table?



Iv only played a few games with the new book so far and the table hasnt really done a huge amount.
The worst result was my army getting -1 to invulnerable saves which was largely negated by either using cover, psychic powers or the grimoire.

The best result I've had was a squad of 11 daemonettes appearing.

My first turn of the first game playing the news daemons with a mono tzeentch list, I rolled the result that damages tzeentch marked units. Of the 10 units I had on table, not a single one was hit, however I did manage to kill about 15 gaunts/stealers and 2 ripper swarms. Future roles saw no further damage to either party.

The most damage I have done to myself so far was kill a plaguebearer while my opponent lost maybe an ork or 2.

first game I had against tseneech Daemons and my opponent rolled -1 invuln save on the table. It would have been perfect of my Vindicators weren't shooting Demolisher Cannons instead of PaintBalls >.>

also, playing against Daemons during a Crusade of Fire Daemon world tournament was the most random thing I have ever done. we had to roll on the Planet chart AND the Warp storm chart in the same turn.

Not at all. It will be a while before I or the other Chaos Space Marine player in my group has enough Chaos Daemons to field an army or ally list.

I can't wait, though!

Best thing it has done, is kill almost a whole terminator unit with rending attacks from slaanesh.

Worst thing it has done, is the turn after, it ate up my slaanesh flying daemon prince.

Slaanesh was pissed that game.

Lol, that's chaos for you I guess.

Its not done much to me as the opponent of a demon player and its given my opponents a few things. I think he rolled the one where my psyker would be replaced with a herald, but I dont use psykers.

I played a massive apoc game last sat, and all I can say is that rule is massively annoying when your opponent(s) have a godly number of units (there were 60 basilisks alone) and they have to roll for every unit.

60 basilisks?? Who the hell has that many basilisks lol?

Scale is interesting to consider, larger games being more beneficial for the damage results on the chart. I imagine having to roll for all the units in an apoc game would be tiring.

Nothing bad has happened so far but it killed a big mek and a few ork boyz in my last game.

My opponent in the Saturday game rolled double 6 so that 8 Plague Bearers appeared. Another scoring unit on the field can disrupt your plan. I had to deal with them asap. They were deep striking and in the open so that my emerging Warriors and Immortals (disembarking from Night Scythes) killed them.
But beware, PB have defensive grenades and so stealth if shot within 8''. Moreover, it was round 5 and night fight so that they got stealth from shooting >= 12'' away. But I was able to place the Warriors perfectly within the gap of 9'' to 11''-

On the topic of Apoc games, I've got one coming up and wondering how to play it with the demons. It'll be a big table and rolling the warp storm could take forever. Currently thinking of saying that it only affects units within 36 inches of the warlord or something, as a way of keeping it in without it being too cumbersome? Anyone any other views/ experience of it in apoc?

I had the -1 to invul in a recent apoc game, though it didn't do anything really.

Worst results I've had has been rolling the -1 invuln save at least once per game thus far.
Best result I've had thus far has been getting +1 invuln two turns in a row.

Haven't killed much yet with the 'God X shows up' results either... Hasn't scratched any of my own units, but Grandfather Nurgle did fart 4 of 5 Lootas to death in my last game!

Thus far, the most complained about thing in my army have been my Pink Horrors w/Lv3 Tzherald.
Only a couple marine players have been outright bemoaning how 'unfair' that unit is, but I suspect that's more because they haven't brought Libby's yet and tend to lose an entire unit a turn to 7D6/S6 re-roll to-hit shooting attacks.

That sounds awesome! May have to restart my Daemons after all...

Playing against my little brother and his BA yesterday, I got +1 to invuln on turn 3 (which was handy). Otherwise not much happened. Nurgle and Tzeentch took their pot shots at the board once each, but didn't manage to kill anyone.

Playing against daemons with nid zilla list. Turn one some nurgle ability gibs my dakkafex outright... I was like okay, thats kinda cool... 2nd turn the dreaded 11 kills my flyrant warlord that was outflanking his soul grinder.... Not so cool anymore.

Last game I played I had:

-1 Invulnerable Saves
Take an Instability Test on my GUO (who passed with a 9 phew!)
-1 Invulnerable Saves
Tzeentchs Firestorm (every unit of mine is Nurgle)
Nurgles 'Rot, Glorious Rot' that wiped out the last scoring enemy unit who were on an objective and well out of range of everything else I had. Winning me the game (3 points to 1 instead of 3 points to his 4).

The other Gods might do their best to ruin my day but Nurgle takes care of his own!

What is the Warpstorm chart? I've never heard of it...

Not up on the new Codex: Daemons, I take it?

It's what happens when Daemons arrive and bring The Warp with them.

Oooooh. Okay. I haven't read the new Daemon codex yet. No. Don't have access to it, lol.

Best result I have seen so far was my friend rolling DI on the chart. She passed every test, except for one. That one killed two Daemonetts that were in cover, leaving the rest out of cover. It allowed her to charge 10 inches.

My best result so far has been Nurgle eating two Black Knights turn one.

Well, Tyranid MCs are in danger when fighting Nurgle. Imagine a flying DP with greater reward. The default option gives him a plague sword that kills outright.

Only game I've played against them, my opponent and I were playing "The Relic." He had gotten points for Slay the Warlord, and First Blood. I had a point for Slay the Warlord. My only remaining scoring unit was 5 tesla immortals that had just popped out of a night scythe and grabbed the relic. They were hemmed in between a unit of 11 or so daemonettes, and a unit of 6 or so khorne warriors (this is AFTER I have finished my firing). Daemonettes would have torn me up for sure, but, luckily he rolled DI on the warp storm chart. His leadership roll? Boxcars. Bye-bye daemonettes! Khorne daemons failed their assault range and the game ended with the immortals sealing the victory!

My first game, I went first, promptly rolled double ones and lost 2/3 of my 500 point army thanks to rolling 11's and 12's on instability
.... ... ... .... ..... Gee thanks Gee dubs.

The very first game had the very last enemy daemon model on the board at the last turn, being that crazy nurgle impossible to kill thing with iron arms, rolling a 3? and lost all his wounds.

was a good day.

I've had more harmful results than beneficial over two games. First game was pretty even, improved save twice, Dark Prince Thirsts once, but then got hit with decreased save(#4) and the warp recedes (#2) at the worst possible time.

Turn 5, I was in clear control, getting ready to charge 11 daemonettes into 5 immortals (last scoring unit of his) and capturing the relic. Rolled snake eyes on the chart, then roll box cars for the daemonettes instability test!!!! This allowed my opponent to wipe out the other two units with the immortals and crypteks he had left. Instead of winning the game 5-1, I lost 4-2.

The second game was brutal. First turn I got daemonic possession, but was facing Nids with Zoenthropes, so it only targeted a lowly single zoenthrope (which passed its test). The rest of the game was decreased save for 3 turns.
