I played an ultramarine detachment including Calgar joined by an Honour Guard squad (all swords, 1 axe).
I manage to charge one of his units of Beasts of Nurrgle but do very little damage on my turn (extremely bad rolls). On his turn, a decked-out Daemon Prince joins in (had 4 wounds left) and challenges (probably thought I'd throw Calgar due to EW), I accept with the Champ who gets squished. My squad then proceeds to slap 5 unsaved wounds on the Beasts (chapter banner helped, needed 6s to wound due to enfeebled). Here's the kicker: he loses the round by 4, BOTH the Beasts and the DP must take the Ld test for Daemonic Instability, and thanks to my friend's high rolling, ends up killing both the Beasts and the DP!

In conclusion: if you get the opportunity, it may be beneficial to multi-assault a DP with another squad of weaker infantry, this is assuming that you're fielding a decent assault unit obviously, you can improve your chances by challenging the DP to minimize your losses while you cause a bunch of wounds on the other unit. This isn't gonna occur often, but just something to keep in the back of your mind.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561020/6209110.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561020/6209110.page GMT Small tip against Chaos Daemons
In 6th edition, Daemons are the only ones left with this kind of weakness. It's neat that you caught onto the idea, but most of us know it already from last edition.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561020/6209144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561020/6209144.page GMT Small tip against Chaos Daemons DP by exploiting Daemonic Instability rule.

Daemons aren't the only ones who can get crossed up like that. You can run down a Riptide without putting a wound on it if you can make a favorable multi-charge.

Not quite the same thing. In this circumstance, you're exploiting the model's lack of Fearless. Rather than piling on additional wounds, you're just forcing a sweep test. Similar enough, I suppose.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561020/6209858.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561020/6209858.page GMT Re:Small tip against Chaos Daemons DP came in and stomped my sarge, then died horribly to DI from failing his -2 LD check roll (2 Standards+Darkshroud).
