I'm sorry everyone. I just added +1 to Bill's winning streak.

It wasn't a close game, either; I'm now looking for my inflatible donut. I'll be in service this week.

BTW, Bill and I brainstormed what might end up being the official Deep Space 40k Dice, available for purchase to members. More on this soon...

Re: Ouchie.

Deep Space dice? Name the results after members.

Ex: A 1 is an Aarhus because of the plasma
A 2 is a Threepwood because of the number of games I've won

Etc.

Re: Ouchie.

a 6 is a Tyranus Dominus because of how many rending i can roll with rending claws attacks .

Once you actualy see me roll for CC rending you will understand why .

On a side note once the challenge board get reset i will try a 2nd go at my hive fleet samael and there 1st target is going to be Farseerbill's craftworld .

You have been warned bill the great beast is come .

Yes, getting back to the game: The battle report was simple. He beat me like a rented mule.

Re: Ouchie.

Sorry, work has been brutal. Here is the five minute report.

2000 pts, Omega Cleanse mission

Corey:
2 Farseers
3 x 10 Dire Avengers in Wave Serpents
3 x 9 Warp Spiders
1 x 3 Warwalkers with Scatterlasers

Bill:
2 Farseers, one of them with three warlocks
1 x 5 Scorpions in Falcon
1 x 10 Scorpions in Wave Serpent
1 x 10 Guardians in Wave Serpent
6 Jetbikes
5 Pathfinders
2 Vypers
5 Warp Spiders
Wraithlord
5 Dark Reapers

Basically I had planned to swoop from my quarter into the quarter adjacent to my deployment along the long board edge of the 4x8 table (which in hindsight was a bad idea) but Corey brought on the warwalkers so that they covered the quarter before my reserves showed up. And he put a deep striking squad of warp spiders along the border between my quarter and his long-board-edge-adjacent quarter.

So I revised my plan and went in a straight line from my long board edge to his, killing the deep striking and late arriving Dire Avenger squads as they showed up and ignoring the far-away warwalkers who had very little to shoot at all game once they hosed the pathfinders.

Corey made a run of it by getting empty wave serpents behind my leading edge and made some wicked tank shocks to break a couple units, but the scorpions/warp spider advance was too powerful in the later game as the early units (one warp spider squad and one dire avenger squad along with the warwalkers) had been eliminated / negated already.

By turn six I had scoring units in every quarter and corey had none in my home, giving me a bonus 500 pts on top of what looked like a slight victory in normal VPs.

Analysis:
I think Corey made two minor mistakes that snowballed into an untenable position:
1) Warwalkers advanced on the table out of range of the Dark Reapers, but consequently out of the battle as I avoided them.
2) Throwing the early reserves (one warp spider unit and one Dire Avenger unit) into the line of fire too soon instead of hunkering down and waiting for more reinforcements.

I hammered the first warp spider squad and saw them off in two turns, and nailed the wave serpent with a bright lance/ eml combo from the wraithlord right away, effectively meaning that Corey had over a third of his army out of the battle with my casualties being only minor. Although he fought valiantly to make it interesting, it was simply weight of numbers and half-decent playing that saw me to victory after that.

I'm sure once Corey shakes off some more rust he will be glad to make me pay for this victory in spades. :thumbgreen:
