I think what you would need to worry about with a highly mobile list (with a clued in player) is their ability to block your line's of movement and hem you in with well placed vehicles and transports. They'd lose a lot of vehicles that way and probably give you first blood, but they could keep you off objectives and thereby foil your strategy of forcing a draw on primaries to win on secondaries.

He doesn't need to be on any objectives. The opponent can have 6 objectives as long as they have 1 fewer kill point. If that happens, First Blood wins.

It's a stupid mission.

Which is why that mission packet is total rubbish IMHO.

I love the success so far but honestly the missions having KP have made things very easy. I am not saying the list can't handle the other scenarios, but that it gets a lot harder.

Well, so long as Adepticon is thoroughly discredited here, then I guess some good has come of it all.

As for the demon list, I don't know very much about the codex, and so am naturally rather unsure of their exact capabilities. Certainly the MCs will give the berzerkers a tough time, but I'd like to note that only half of my list is berzerkers. The other half is a axe of blind fury lord and huron and terminators with enough combi-weapons (once I fix my list so that they all have them again) to be able to kill a monstrous creature with a combi-salvo, and then enough close combat goodness (once again, once I get a powerfist or two back in there) to be able to handle another, and that's to say nothing about the obliterators either.

It seems like a mere matter of using berzerkers to force grounding tests and then beating the hell out of the monstrous creatures one at a time as they land. I'd think the scarier challenge for me would be against tyranid, as they can put down monstrous creatures at half the price that demons are, and they can come with a swarmlord to boot.

That terrain is just... I mean... I lack words. What the feth? That just isn't remotely fair.

Welcome to Adepticon where interesting games are discouraged.

As I mentioned privately to A, he's not playing the full Adepticon rules or terrain. AC's terrain is six or seven large pieces, a mix of ruins, LOS-blocking and/or area terrain.

-B.

Rather than 6 pieces of terrain.

We had a mix of some ruins, and some LOS-blocking, and a few other types of pieces, and the correct number of them. Apparently it's a matter of not being big enough.

Of course, I've only seen a few pictures of what adepticon terrain looks like from Briancj, and can't speak from experience myself. It still does seem a little strange, though. Even with large pieces, the low number of them pretty much guarantees long, wide firing lanes for gunline armies.
