And 7th is HERE! This is the first game. and what a blast... some twists, some turns. I can't wait to play more and learn the new edition through and through.
Thanks for watching!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We chose to play an Eternal War mission, and rolled crusade, 5 objectives, and dawn of war deployment. We played on a 4 by 4 table.

I Chose to deploy first (as this then gave me the choice to go first or second) after seeing his deployment, I took second turn because it was an objective based game and he lacked any real long range firepower.

Thanks for watching!

That was great. I really enjoy battle reports of smaller games.

I believe that even though you're getting tzeentch's primaris automatically, the rules say you still have to roll half your powers from the tzeentch list so you'd need to generate at least one from that tree before going to biomancy. Therefore the standard "psychic" focus doesn't apply - it's why they invented chaos focus in the first place (since all chaos sorcerers have to get half their powers from their god's chart).

Correct.

Also you only get ruins cover saves by being inside the actual ruins meaning the wyches should have had a regular 5+ cover for obscurement. Possibly a 4+ for your warlord trait but I am not sure on the exact wording and im being lazy lol.

Good game.

Obscurement from walls is still a 4+, I would say shooting through ruins qualifies if they have walls.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, It was a 4+ because it was the ruin walls that gave me cover +1 for stealth ruins. That saved my backside.

Glad you liked the report. 7th is going to be awesome.
