Recon: Omega Night fight

1000 LATD vs 1000 Godzilla tyranids

<?  

  We pretty much left the table set up how it was from the previous tables occupants, fairly good fire lanes and nice 4+ cover all over.

 

Godzilla Deployment:

Since it was omega all my good stuff was forced off the table and I started with 3 squads of rippers.

Each ripper squad is devouring some different enemy so I will refer to them as such.

Squads rubble deployed right in the middle of my deployment zone.  Squad Guardsmen deployed to the left of rubble hiding behind some entrenchment piece. 

 

Squad marines deployed to the right of rubble hoping for a flanking maneuver.

 

LATD Deployment:
Mutants go as far forward as they can, right beside a corner of a building an next to a bombed out one (They have the demon host).  Obliterators deploy behind them

Kroot infiltrate into said bombed out building, far enough back that their field craft protects them from any bugs that will walk on the board.  Traitors decide to stop the marine flanking and infiltrate with plasma and lascannon into sand bags.

 

Here you can see the guardsmen rippers rubble rippers (who are black against a black board), the mutants are pink, and the kroot are in that building on the left.

Here are the marine rippers and traitors.

I win the roll off and elect to go first.

 

Godzilla 1:

We comment on how eventful this turn will be, and the rippers move up. 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0003.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0005.jpg

 

LATD 1:

Mutants move up.  Kroot try sighting up the Guard Rippers and fail sight test.  Traitors try sighting up Marine Rippers and fail test.  Yeah its one of those games.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0006.jpg

 

Godzilla 2:
Dakka fex, gunfex arrive behind the main ripper line.  
Flyrant hides behind the building beside the guard rippers, walking tyrant and guard arrive behind the marine rippers.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0010.jpg

Rippers move up.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0007.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0009.jpg

What little shooting that arrived has poor sight rolls.

Guardsmen Rippers try to charge mutants but are out of range.

 

LATD 2:
Deamonettes arrive right in front of the Rubble Rippers.  With his usual funny voice the LATD player says ?I will resist possession? and rolls a 6? he is a bit unhappy. (Picture is NSFW or for kiddies)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0011.jpg

Kroot shoot at the flyrant but the bullets flicker off her warp shield, the traitors roll poorly and put 1 wound on the Marine rippers.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0014.jpg

Mutants charge Guardsmen Rippers,

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0012.jpg

Deamonettes charge rubble rippers

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0013.jpg

Deamonettes slaughter the rippers before they can attack back

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0016.jpg

and disperse with their massacre

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0017.jpg

Mutants kill rippers and loose 1 of their own.

 

Godzilla 3:
Other Dakka fex shows up.

Everything advances.

Old Dakka fex and gunfex move to where they can see the deamonetts who slaughtered their ripper friends and open fire.  After the smoke clears 3 deamonettes remain out of the original 9.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0018.jpg

Marine Rippers charge the traitors, and loose 2 bases and 1more wound, before attacking and killing 1 traitor.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0019.jpg

 

LATD 3:

Basilisk shows up ( I don?t like him, but that doesn't matter since it does nothing all game).

Obliterators put a wound on the dakka fex, and a cry of victory is heard.  Kroot shoot the tyrant again and do nothing.

The remaining Deamonettes charge the ripper marines

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0021.jpg

and since the rippers were in cover they attack first, and kill 2 deamonettes.  The remaing deamonette and the traitors wipe out the rippers.  The deamonette massacres behind the near building (hoping for a late game assault against something)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0022.jpg

and the traitors massacre back into their sandbags.

 

Godzilla 4:
Flyrant kicks it into high gear and gets ready to assault the kroot. 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0023.jpg

Fex?s move up.

Fex?s fire on the mutant squad (hoping to weaken them so they don?t assault the flyrant). 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0024.jpg

After all the beetles, worms, and flying vomit 6 of the 19 mutants remain.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0025.jpg

Flyrant assaults kroot and destroys them, she then massacres to the other side of the building (hoping to slow the mutants up).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0026.jpg

 

LATD 4:

Mutants advance towards the flyrant.

Keeper of secrets comes out of cover and sets its sights on the tyrant and guard.  Who have pretty much walked unmolested across the entire board.

The little deamonette comes out of cover and heads for the walking tyrant and the guard.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0027.jpg

Keeper of secrets tries to use a psychic power on the walking tyrant and instead gets a migrane (a wound).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0028.jpg

Deamonette charges and causes 1 wound to the tyrant guard before being crushed.  Tyrant guard roll 1 for massacre.

 

 

Godzilla 5:

Flyrant flys towards the obliterators, who have only cause 1 wound all game.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0030.jpg

Dakka fexs fire on the mutants again and reduce their number to 3.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0029.jpg

Flyrant charges obliterators and destroys them before they know what?s behind them. 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0031.jpg

She then massacres towards the Keeper of secrets.

 

LATD 5:
Keeper walks towards the flyrant and prepares to charge. 
Mutants advance toward the tusked dakka fex.

Traitors fire on the guard but fail to wound.

Keeper charges the flyrant and causes 1 wound.  Flyrant causes 2 in return (yay for implant attack)

Mutants charge the tusked dakka fex and put a wound on him (thanks the power fist).

Flyrant does no wounds to the keeper but takes 1.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0032.jpg 

 

Godzilla 6:
Fex?s advance towards the mutants.  Walking tyrant advances towards the traitors.

Walking tyrant shoots at the traitors but they make their saves.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0034.jpg 

Flyrant kills the Keeper of secrets and massacres towards the ruins and the traitors.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0035.jpg 

Fex?s charge the mutants and kill them all before the fist swings!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0033.jpg 

 

LATD 6:
Traitors fire at the walking tyrant and kill her guard, and even put a wound on her, and kill their plasma gunner.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/Games/LATD%20vs%20Godzilla/PHTO0036.jpg 

LATD calls it quits.

 

Yeah I really slaughtered him, he got 12 ripper bases, 2 tyrant guard, and some random wounds.  My opponent has the reputation of having the WORST dice luck in the store, we've even tried purchased him new dice but to no avail.

 

I'm still trying to learn how to use my camera and write batreps so advice on the latter would help.  The camera will just have to come with time.

May I suggest you to post both army list before the batrep? Sadly the pics are not clear but it can give us a basic idea of the look of the game. Good to see that you manage to win even with escalation. Thanks for the batrep.

Good report, bad pics. Did you have the flash on? More practice on those dark tables to see what makes things show up the best - that's what I'd suggest.

Keep it up!

Just an FYI for your buddy, I think his list is illegal. Unless the Kroot can count as a mandatory Troop choice, the Traitors are supposed to be at max size because they are filling one of the two mandatory Troop choices for the army (EoT codex, page 42, right under the section that tells you what Heavy Support options are open to a LatD list where it says 'notes:').

NOT a huge deal, but one he might want to be aware of while building up the list's point value.
