Reecius's busts out his Raptors and Wolves list vs. OmegaPrime's Necrons!

OmegaPrime !!!

Very cool game. Mark is a really cool guy and runs great events at Great Escape. Thanks for posting!

Yeah, we had a fun game. First I had awful luck, then so did he, it was one of those wacky games.

Good fun though, glad you all liked it.

One of your best Batreps in awhile Reecius! Congrats on the win in a hard fought game.

what is that raptor stuff? doing damage before game, all that infiltraing? where does that come from.

As always, brilliant report

It's a Forgeworld unit (Issadon) and Forgeworld Chapter Tactics. You can get if free from Forgeworld's website.

Yeh I didn't know Issadon came with Master of Ambush too. Gheez he wins the Force Multiplier for space marines!

I am starting to pain my marines as Raptors and my Sicaran is waiting for me at home...I really want to go home.


I think the Callidus is almost a must with Issodon. With the Callidus you make it a 7+ on turn 2 for the your opponent to bring reserves on. It just wrecks reserve/flyer armies. Wolves was one of the armies I was considering. More food for thought.

Issodon is hands down the most powerful HQ in the game, due to sheer board manipulation.
Reroll reserves, minuses to enemy reserves, shrouded (transferable as an IC) and assured master of ambush (who is OP as feth and needs a serious nerf), the sternguard ammo shooting, decent melee skills, a locator beacon to get even more off your reserve manipulation and the pre-game shot are just icing on a very good cake.

Honestly, if you take raptors without Issodon you are denying yourself the deal of the edition. he's just a no-brainer pick.

Yea I think he is definitely a bit over the top

Issodon is Alpahrius.

Issodon's pre-game shot took out bellakor one game i played.



I still lost though. triple nurgle prince's poon marines if you dont take a knight or 2.

Ha yeah infiltrate, isolate, destroy is straight nasty against Be'lakor and other greater daemons. All it takes is a roll of a 5 and it should knock one out

You cant assault with an artillery unit :( no TFC assault

@Nettik

Yeah, I have been playing that one wrong this entire edition! I goofed on that.

@thread

Lias is easily one of the best HQs available to Marines, but, once the game starts he is really weak. He is a force multiplier, not a damage dealer (apart form that pre-game attack).

He has no invul, no orbital bombardment like other CMs, only 3 attacks, a power sword and a 4 shot bolter. He's there for his non-combat abilities.

He is son of Alpharius ... The Primarch obviously broke off a piece.
