Not true, they can still be ID'd because they don't have Eternal warrior. They can't be ID'd due to the S of the weapon being double the T because S is capped at 10.

Otherwise, good battle report! Glad to see the Mawloc took down some vehicles!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5954101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5954101.page GMT Re:Dark Angels 1500 vs Tyranids 1650 - tenth game of our Planetary Empires Campaign IC USR around page 35 or in the Character section later on in the book) that would be super awesome.

Cool battle report though

You cannot charge from a rhino, even an exploded one. The main rulebook faq has the clarification.
I like how no one caught that and managed to miss you giving instant death to the devastators.

Excellent game! I'm looking forward to the next one. Hoping you take some territory!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5956113.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5956113.page GMT Dark Angels 1500 vs Tyranids 1650 - tenth game of our Planetary Empires Campaign http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5956632.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5956632.page GMT Dark Angels 1500 vs Tyranids 1650 - tenth game of our Planetary Empires Campaign Prescience, Perfect timing and using its force weapon.

Not true he used the force weapon in the bugs turn, not his own. Rippers aren't 25% the height of carnifex's and certainly not from guys on a roof top. He also dropped the ball not using hit and run on his mawloc, mawloc also should always start the game on the table and burrow turn 1 to make it certain he arrives turn 2. Few nit picky items but an otherwise great game with minimal errors. Do you guys think that the instant death USR is a bit broken? Did he have a C bastion? Being able to give a unit eternal warrior could have made it more fair.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5957192.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5957192.page GMT Dark Angels 1500 vs Tyranids 1650 - tenth game of our Planetary Empires Campaign ID is very powerful, as is haywire, and armorbane so far. At the end of the campaign we will do a wrap up and talk about what worked and what didn't to try and give some guidance to others that wish to run a campaign. There are certain USR's that we excluded out right like smash but I believe with what we have learned we should expand that list to probably include things like ID and Haywire.

i would definitely recommend it, this is only my second planetary empires campaign, my last once was in 5th edition. It is fun, and now that there are allies in the game the people in the campaign that are getting bored with their army have and option to really change it up. Corey went from a CSM Rhino list, to a monster mash list, to a plauge marine list with the assistance of demon allies. I am enjoying the campaign quite a bit.

I did make an error with the force weapon but that wasn't it. When I activated the force weapon it should have killed 3 bases of rippers as I had 3 unsaved wounds on them from the libby. Warp chrages are generated each player turn so I did have a charge to activate the weapon on the tyranid turn. At the point in the game the combat occurred though it really wouldn't change the outcome.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5958398.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5958398.page GMT Dark Angels 1500 vs Tyranids 1650 - tenth game of our Planetary Empires Campaign

You should reread the entries for haywire and instant death - they apply to WEAPONS. Models that possess those rules only apply them in close combat. Giving devastators with las cannons instant death completely invalidates the tyranid players entire list. You may have won, but it wasn't due to any skill on your part. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5958410.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5958410.page GMT Dark Angels 1500 vs Tyranids 1650 - tenth game of our Planetary Empires Campaign ID definitely makes it tougher on the bugs, it only came into play on the carnifex kills and in the enitre of the game only gave me 3 extra wounds total. When you chose a USR that is linked to weapons like ID, haywire, melta etc, you have to chose either CC or Ranged weapons not both. This is our first run at an Empires campaign in 6th and the rules were written in 5th when there were far fewer USRs. The next time we run a planetary empires campaign I expect we will restrict USRs further.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5959082.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5959082.page GMT Dark Angels 1500 vs Tyranids 1650 - tenth game of our Planetary Empires Campaign http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5962096.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546464/5962096.page GMT Dark Angels 1500 vs Tyranids 1650 - tenth game of our Planetary Empires Campaign
