The Report

Game Type:


750 Typhus Zombie Horde


750 Sammael's Ravenwing

The Heldrake will be the determining factor. The Baleflamer is deadly against everything on the Ravenwing side. But, it the Black Knights can score a couple of lucky hits, then they can take out the Zombie Horde.

Gonna be really interesting, the speedier bikes could take out the heldrake before they get wiped out, this will then be a straight win for Sammy

Very nice batrep. However for the Chaos player there was almost no reason not to break the Oblits into 3 separate squads.

Very correct with the Heldrake. If the Black Knights had avoided Typhus longer, they may have had more opportunity to take out more of the horde.

Yea, being a kill game and the fact that the drake did not come in until turn 3, the DA player was more interested in taking out enough zombies and to clear everything out in combat (and while in combat, rendering the Heldrake useless).

Thanks! And you are correct. I was going to mention something but being a bystander, I did not want to pick sides. The advice is always welcome and the Chaos player likes the comments.

I noticed it mentioned in the battle report that Typhus had Initiative over the Marines but his daemon weapon, Manreaper, is Unwieldy, and therefore he strikes at Initiative 1.

Ah yes, thanks for informing.
