So I was practicing a list for a tournament. I have always loved Old One Eye. He got cheaper in this edition but he is certainly not stellar nor synapse... However I decided I wanted to build an army around him.

The mission was a fun funky one
Primary - Kill the warlord - for every wound you put on the warlord you get 1 VP, you get 2 vp for killing him in shooting, 3 for CC and 5 if your warlord kills the other warlord. >2VP - 15 points, Tied or within 2 VP - 8, <2 - 0 points - HW has IWND, FNP and Eternal Warrior
Secondary - 4 Objectives - 1 placed in your opponents deployment and 1 in no mans land, mysterious, troops need one other unit to help hold objective - the helper can be swarms
Tertiery - first and second blood, line breaker

He got first turn. It was not night fighting. It was hammer and anvil set up. I placed a big LOS blocking in center of table and then tried to place terrain as far forward in deployment as I could on my side. He had his aegis line back, cultist manning quad gun, one plague squad behind aegis line. Fateweaver, daemon princes behind center LOS
I placed things in cover but my gaunts were in front followed by Old One Eye and the Carnifexes, vern the venomthrope hid behind the carnies and the tervigon followed in the rear surrounded by a few guants. The warriors were to the right side of the tervigan.. My rippers were hidden in some ruins near the tervigan. The mawloc and Lictors were in reserve and deep striking.

I rolled to seize the initiative and rolled a '6' and seized.
Nids Turn 1
I cast catalyst on the tervegon and the Carnifexes. Basically everything moves up the left flank and center and runs, nothing shoots.

Daemons Turn 1
He fails book of names and then uses fateweavers reroll. Fatweaver goes towards the gaunts crossing center line. The flying daemon princes fly up 24" and just to the right of my right flank, the two shoot psychic powers and kill Vern the venomthrope.. Poor Vern.. Fatweaver does a bunch of shooting and kills some gaunts not a ton - I think 7-8.

Turn 2 Nids
I roll for reserves the Mawloc does not come in - I was at first sad but it turned out better later. The lictors came in and I placed one just a couple inches away from the cultists behind the line and another squad behind the line just next to the plaguebearers. I cast catalyst on the carnies and tervigon. Guants move up to one objective and then make a hole for the carnifexes to get close to the daemon princes. Old one Eye moves towards the daemon princes as well as the Warriors and tervigan. The rippers move towards the daemon princes. Shooting, the lictors kill 4 cultists and 3 plaguebearers not bad at all. The rest of the shooting goes into the daemon prince with the book of names and no iron arm. It takes all my shooting but I finally ground him. He makes all his saves or FNP rolls. My carnifexes assault, Old One Eye can not make the charge. The rippers block the path to the tervigon. The daemon prince gets three wounds and I pass all three FNP rolls. The carnifexes smash back and he is instant killed.

Turn 2 Daemons
Fateweaver fails invisibility, he goes to the ground and goes back toward the aegis line, his plaguebearers deep strike in on terrain in my back field.. The daemon prince with mace goes to ground gets iron arm off +1, the plague bearers move to assault the lictors as well as the cultists. Cultist shooting does nothing, fatweaver kills the right lictor squad to 1 lictor 1 wound - who then dies to warpflame. Charge kills 2 cultists and cc kills all but 3 cultists, the plague bears move in and assault the same squad. The cultist roll 1's to stay in combat, the Daemon prince charges in his daemon weapon gets 6 attacks, he does a ton of wounds, my feel no pain saves a few but they take 7 wounds leaving 2 carnies. They swing back and get him down to 2 wounds.

Turn 3 Nids
My catalyst fails to go off. However my mawloc comes in. I am tempted to go after fatweaver but I know I will not kill him so I go for the plague bearers, I kill all but two and go back into reserves. Old One eye gets into position to assualt the daemon prince as well as the warriors and tervigon, I needed to put him down or he would wreck my HQ and big guys individually. Assaault saw the lictors kill the cultist and the plague bearers rolled double 6's on daemonic instability so they went bye bye. Assault got the warriors, tervigons, old one eye, the tervigon into combat. Hammer of wraths from old one eye and tervigon took another wound off. He took his daemon prince on Old one eye. I think this was a mistake here as he had taken a wound in the previous shooting from fatey and so had FNP and the carnies did not this turn so would have been easy to kill. He got 3 wounds on Old one Eye and I passed all my FNP rolls, you can guess what happened to the daemon prince. Regen regained Old One Eye's wound.

Turn 3 Chaos
Helldrake comes in and shoots and kills 5 guants and fails to wound Old One Eye. Fatey gets invisibility off and flys to the right flank towards the plaguebearers. Fatey kills some guants.

Turn 4 Nids
The Mawlec comes back and deep strikes misses near plaguebearers. Shooting fails to ground Fateweaver but does wound him twice. The Lictors man the Quad gun and shoot the helldrake in the arse and kill it it falls down on my guants and kills 2... oh well. It is awesome playing nids... you don't care about the little ones..

Turn4 Chaos
The plague bearers run from the mawloc. Fateweaver stays in the air and shoots the mawloc and puts one wound on him.

Turn 5 Nids
Shooting puts another wound on fateweaver but he fails to come down. The Mawloc destroys the plaguebearers

Turn 5 Chaos
Fateweaver runs away and on warp storm rerolls and gets a 3, he has to take a daemonic instability on 3d6 and rolls 17, Fateweaver dies... end of game..

I have no reserves that this list is awesome, but it was a fun one and a fun game. I think the Chaos player had too many Monstrous creatures and too many points sunk into them. My Lictors and MAwloc were able to easily kill the troops, which is why I took them, also as a distraction. Fun game fun lists...Cheers

Nice, sounds like OOE was a lot of fun.

I enjoyed reading what OOE did to the daemon prince. Haha

Thanks he got lucky. I just like old one eye and his fluff. I hope to in a big mission play 3 squads of carnefexes with him...
