Here now! Your chance to check out how the new BAO missions work. One of them, anyway!

Enjoyable read. I'm liking 7th and the BAO missions so far, although there is a huge emphasis on going 2nd, which is countered somewhat by 1st Blood and the KP missions. I don't know if they would have been better as end of Player Turn scoring instead of Game turn.

Are either of you guys going to take a trip out to NOVA?

Not me!

Great report, finally a good GK 7th edition batrep!

Blackmoor must have hangover from running Paladins all the time cause regular terminators only get 1 psycannon per 5. Its one of the perks of Paladins to get 2 per 5.

I really like the nature of your list, all speed. Seems like a good balanced TAC, as much as you can in 7ed anyways.

The error is mine then. As I said, it was approximate, and I am no GK expert.

Ah ok no worries and my bad for skimming the intro.

So any thoughts about list changes you are considering or testing out?

I can't think of anything that would make it better. Only better against some armies and worse against others. If I had a cheap source of reliable invisibility or skyfire, I'd add that, but I've resigned myself to being unable to do anything about Storm Ravens because there is no way I'm paying 350 points for a Slaanesh Prince with a 50/50 shot at Iron Arm.

The terminator squad started out as a 10-man unit that I combat squaded, and each 5-man terminator squad only had one psycannon each. It should read:

5 Terminators, 1 psycannons, 2 halberds, 2 daemon hammers, 1 force sword, psybolt ammo
5 Terminators, 1 psycannons, 2 halberds, 2 daemon hammers, 1 force sword, psybolt ammo


There was some paladin hangover though when he hit me with his powerfist and his soulgrinder. I was worried about being doubled out, then I remembered that I only had one wound. Also I forgot that I had a Justicar.

I have been really enjoying the GK in 7th edition. Have you tried to get invisibility with your librarian? I got invisibility for one game, and it was devastating... I did not combat squad my 10 man termie unit and stuck the librarian with them. They survived the entire game. I also managed to get gate of infinity with Coteaz... so I was all over the board. It was a fun game.

Yes, I had it once and did not care for it. It was a pain to cast, and it did not do that much. Going for it means that I might not get it, and I will get a lot of other useless telepathy powers.

It also means that he will just kill the rest of the army and not kill what ever has invisibility until last.

I also found out that I was playing wrong, and casting multiple powers with my GK squads. It looks like you are limited to casting equal to your ML level.

Thats currently up for debate from what I can see

Have you tought about adding Tigurius instead of your GK libby ? Still M3 but reroll powers and casting. That's a pretty shure invisibility bouth in getting the power and getting it off. Or roll 3 times with reroll on divination. Tiggy and 5 scouts are about the same points as the GK libby.

I have thought about adding everything.

The problem is that all of my models are in Los Angeles. The only ones that I have with me in Phoenix are 20 terminators, 20 Grey Knights, 2 Dreadnoughts and a Stormraven.

My BAO list will be very different to what I have been playing.
