12 Blood Claws on drop pod (deathwind)
3 Fists (i think)

Ven dread drop pod
Assault Cannon, CCW, Strom Bolter.
Dreadnaught
LC Heavy flamer.

10 Grey hunters with HQ on Drop pod
Special weapons and Fist and power weapon.


I clearly told him i was over 4 pts but he was fine with it.

Well he put everything on reserve and his Drop pods were on deepstrike so i guess i had to start my daemonic incursion.

My first wave was 3 Horror Squads, a BC squad, 1 Herald. I rolled a 2 getting my wave of 6 units instead. Yay i guess.

The table was full of buldings. the left, Center, and right section had 3 huge building lined up to each other like a tic tac toe board. so 9 buildings all in all.

Turn 1 me
I formed a little caslte around the center waiting for him. My DPs passing DT tests in the buldings, Crusher squad stayed in the center with another herald and my 2nd herald just close beside it. and the 2 horror squads staying a bit close to the Crushers. No mishaps.

Turn 1 him
He DSed in......with 2 squads. A ven dread and Blood claws. dropping around 18-20 inches from me to the south. Ven Dread shoots at a horror squad reducing them to 3 and the blood claws shoot at another squad reducing them to 3 and only death wind makes 1 hit on the same squad and the blood crushers hit and i promptly saved.

Turn 2 me
Reserves got me my 2 Daemon princes and a herald who DSed a bit away from the action in his board edge. (as you may noticed he DSed in my board edge) so i was quite far.

Move everything a bit closer so that i make sure i get the charge and run my horrors in their buildings but princes are left behind. Shooting kills 3 blood Claws all in all.

Turn 2 him
Gets Dreadnought in reserve in directly behind my DP. and he gets in his grey hunters with HQ in and another blood claw pack which drop in front of the units he deep striked in the first turn so as you can imagine he was very very close to me.

His blood claws go closer to me. Vendread sets up for an assault on the closest herald.

His shooting wipes out my 1 squad of horrors. and coudnt do anything to the 3 man squads. Deathwinds we quite useless on the crushers.

Assault, Blood Claw squad charge my herald, He takes 4 down before he dies. Ven dread charges the herald beside the slain herald (they were quite close to each other) herald takes 2 wounds but is destroys and stuns the Dreadnaught, Losing his dread ccw.

Turn 3
I get my my army in.

Horrors DS in good shooting range before the charge. All my assault units move inches ever closer good for the assault. my 2nd DP gets right behind the vendread.

Now im just about ready to crush his troops. Shooting. i used all my horrors (the ones that can see it) on the blood claw squad that killed the herald promptly wiping them out.. (terrible daemon shooting almost cost me.)

Assault my favorite phase! Blood crusher group 1 assaulted the grey hunters and blood crusher group 2 assault the bloodclaws together with the grey hunters as well and my 3rd herald assaults the blood claws with the crushers and DP assaults the ven Dread.

Result, Ven dread kills 2 wound herald, blown up by DP. 3 Crushers from the dual assault hit on the blood claws and 2 crushers help the other crusher group that assaulted the grey hunters. They Counter charge but i obliterate all 12 Blood Claws before they strike. Grey hunters strike simul with their lord cuz they are both I 5. i lost 2 crushers, lets just say 28 power weapon attacks hitting on 3s and wounding on 2s predictably wiping them out. my opponent having lost everything but the 4 drop pods, conceded the game.

nice game.

Nice report. It's bugging me and I have to ask, is that the Philippines flag by your name?

why yes it is.

Nice report. Did the guy say if he had played against daemons before?

Also, since you will be facing them a lot. Drop pods cannot shoot the turn they drop in. It says in the rulebook that vehicles that enter via deep strike count as moving at cruising speed, so unless you are a fast vehicle you aren't shooting anything.

Not that it really mattered in your game though .

Good report

@white beard Thank you!
@Warmaster: hmm yes, i read that before on the forums the other day, and just forgot to mention it to him. thanks.

Nice report, this battle is amazing.

Although i never fought Daemons before, i could feel how lethally strong they are.

i agree i never vsed them i wont to though, i would want to see how my 30 sternguard would do.

Great report enjoyed reading it.

[i]Edit: Spelling

Just wondering, but what was his other HQ choice? At 1500 pts he should have had 2.

well he said the vendread was an HQ choice, and the other HQ was with his grey hunters.
