First Battle!


Sleboda

This evening I played Take and Hold vs @TwiceIfILikeIt.

She crushed me in two turns with her squigs.

The deathriders and Zandtos were eaten by a mangler. The Guard were downed by hoppers. My Boneshaper and other Guard could not leave our objective, and even if they could, they were too slow to get to the other side. The Shieldwall re-roll saved not one single wound, and the Deathless Warriors roll saved about two wounds. Oh, plus, not a single 6 on hit rolls with Nadirite weapons all game.  Plus, not one spell was successful, nor did I unbind any.

 

In other words, the survivability and extra hits main benefits of the battleline never manifested.

 

She played very well and deserved the win. Congrats to her!

The photos attached show the final situation. Clearly the reason the Nexus did nothing was its lack of paint (we could't wait for it to be painted before our first game, but it's on the docket --- soon!).

 

I will get you next time! :fistshake:

 

Point of note: I did not take Petrifex, but I did note the times when the +1 save would have helped. It was a total of two wounds that would have been saved.  Two.  But yeah, Petrifex is soooo OP (not).

Hmm... Sounds like a nasty streak of bad luck to me. It can't go on forever! You'll get 'em next time! Also, my compliments on your painting - a wonderful scheme, I'm a sucker for red - I play Blood Angels in 40k.

Nice models.  The bases contrast well and pop with the red and gold.  A finished army would have massive curb appeal and really catch the eye.

Good on you for not taking petrifax, the army certainly does not need it to excel and it sounds like bad luck sank you more than anything.
