This will be a very tough game. Larry has the tools to blow up my Rhinos and kill the guys inside quite easily. I will need to stay back on turn one and let him get closer to me before raining fire upon his quick assault units. Luckily the Bolters will do a lot of damage to the Flesh Hounds, unless of course his Sorcerers get Invisibility or Endurance.

The toughest thing for me will be his Helldrake and Fireraptor. They will both be doing a ton of damage to my army and I will not have enough firepower left standing in the late game to bring them down. The Fireraptor will be killing vehicles while the Helldrake will be eating one to two units a turn. I really need to get some skyfire nexus objectives!

As for the mission I should still be able to play to it, and make the game really challenging for Larry. He will need to take my vehicles away quickly with his Melta Guns and the Fireraptor, otherwise I will be able to rack up points towards the end of the game. I will need to win the Maelstrom and depending on what the primary is, gear my movements towards that as well.

I believe my army is up for the task and will bring home the W for the Emperor but only time will tell and KDK is tricky. Hope to see you all there!

The KDK army will have a tough time playing towards any objective based game since the Battle Company is all objective secured. He will need to charge into the Battle Company asap and take out the mobility of the Rhinos. He will also be very dependent on both the Helldrake and Fireraptor coming on early. All the firepower will be needed to take down the Battle Company.

Larry will be able to summon in new units and buff his current ones with the Sorcerers. The summoned units will help for late game and will also chew through 5 man Marine units. He will have to be very careful of my hit and run off and will have to wipe out each 5 man he is in combat with or watch them slip away onto objectives.

The Helldrake and Chaos Lord will be doing work on killing my little units and should help to win the mission. His Fireraptor will also chew through my vehicles which will be needed. He wants to get first turn so that I only have one turn to shoot his Hounds before assault. Once he gets into assault I will not be able to use my superior firepower against him.

Should be a very close game and if the Chaos Gods see it fit should be another Chaos Victory. Don’t miss out!

The game starts tonight at 7pm PST! Be sure to tune in for your chance to win a Ghostkeel and see the result of the game!

So hopefully you all took part in the last Tuesday Night Fight on our Twitch Channel and enjoyed the hard fought battle. It was a crazy close game, coming down to the the last die roll. We also gave away a Ghostkeel to a lucky watcher, MasamuneMato! Here are the write ups from both players about how the game went.



Check out the pre-game and see the lists, here!

Larry’s KDK recap:

“So in a nutshell this game didn’t go at all how I thought it would. Basic lessons I learned from this game were to be more aggressive and watch your opponent’s positioning on the Battlefield. Frankie did an outstanding job of positioning his Rhinos which was evident when my Fire Raptor got vector locked to its doom. He also did a cowboy style circling of the wagons, which ended up keeping his guys out of combat for a few extra turns.

Thinking back I should have separated both Sorcerers to gate around and cast Vortex from the very beginning of the game. the Vortexes were doing work, treating the Rhinos as bowling pins! Having a few extra on the table would have helped a lot.

I will say that Frankie has the most ridiculous luck I’ve ever seen, rolling what seemed like 50% 6’s on all dice rolls. Even with all my mistakes the game came down to one die roll, which Frankie wasn’t nice enough to roll a 6 on. The game ended on turn five with Frankie winning 7-5. One of the best games I’ve played in a while, had we gone one or two more turns I would have been putting Khans head on a trophy rack. Definitely want a rematch in he future, and I promise next time I’ll Blood Thirster and give the people what they want.”



Frankie’s White Scars recap:

The game was for sure in Larry’s favor before it started, with no armor saves for my Grav Weapons and the kill point mission. I knew this was going to be a very tough game as soon as I saw Larry’s list. He had a large Flesh Hound unit with a few characters in it along with two hard hitting flyers. I was hoping to go first so I could start whittling away at his large unit of Hounds. Unfortunately for me, Larry Seized and was able to get into a commanding position.

The game started out really close on kill points but after about turn three I could see that I had no chance at winning that part of the mission. I did however, have a commanding lead on the Maelstrom so the game came down to the tertiary points.

I made a few mistakes in the game such as deploying most of my Bolters away from Larry’s corner. I just wasn’t thinking about an alpha strike when I was setting up. I was more thinking about late game points, which is where Battle Company really shines. I also made a few mistakes throughout the game such as not getting out of my Rhinos sooner and unleashing all my firepower on those Flesh Hounds. I’m pretty sure we both made about the same amount of errors and would have done a few things differently if able to go back.

It was a great game and I would enjoy a re-match against that army. In the end the Space Marines were able to pull out the W with some hot dice. Excellent game and I look forward to my game vs. Alan and his KDK next week for another Master’s League game!
