| Well, this past Sunday saw the emergence of the 141st's new tank, "Der Fleischer" Baneblade, all 634 points of her. There were six of us playing a 9000 point battle. Bobby with the Nids, Tom with Marines, Aaron with Chaos, Jason with Dark Angels, Larry with Catachans, and lastly me with my IG. We teamed up in teams of three with Me, Aaron and Bobby on one side and Tom, Jason, and Larry on the other. Standard Bratwurst cutter, er, I mean Meat Grinder :) So with both Armies deployed, It was a slaughterfest in the making. On turn one, Bobby's gaunts rushed forward with the spore mines, while Aaron and I sat in place. The basilik on the right flank tore into a squad of marines in the front, killing five. Jason's scouts were then toasted by two lascannons. Needless to say they were running. The LR MBT proceeded to destroy two of three sentinels and the Baneblade mopped up by killing the last one and taking care of almost an entire squad. Not bad for turn one. Gaunts, gaunts, gaunts, the lil bastards were just cannon fodder for our enemies. But their fleet of claw would get them into HTH within the next turn. pretty uneventful shooting for them. One marine dead on our side and about 15 hormagaunts, but the ratlings get toasted by heavy bolters. The next turn saw the stormtroopers try, and miserably fail to clamp melta bombs onto a Land Raider (seeing this continue for the next three turns). More death, more ordinance, more dead space puppies. Their shooting phase continued with shooting gaunts in a barrel. Turn three (very bad for us) opposing termies deepstrike, wolf scouts (they're in the wire with meltabombs!) Baneblade go BOOM in a fiery, chain reaction explosion. I thought I was about to cry. Well with my cherished beast gone, it was time for revenge. CHHHARRRRRGEE!!!! Here's comes the assasin to the rescue, Termies go buh-bye, and wolf scouts eat hot lead and the armored fist squad gets revenge for the heretics blowing up their prized steed. The Vanquisher on the left flank lands an AT shell up the Land Raider's tailpipe and rolls a 6 on the ordinance table! BLAMMO!! AT round= dead puppies command squad. Bless you my boys. My command squads tears into the second Land Raider, glances it, and Kablooey! Two down, one to go. Three missles launches hit home on the venerable dreadnought and take it down, the autocannons take down the Dark Angels Dread. And needless to say it was looking pretty grim for the opposing force. Since it was a random game length, I rolled a two and couldn't continue after turn 5. So, I was a little disappointed in the Stormtroopers (back to the firing range they go ) and the BB's performance, but for being as big as it is, IT'S GOING TO BE THEIR PRIMARY TARGET! But what a fear factor for them! But it was the good rolling by my troops (for once) that saved the day. Till another battle. Greiss |
