Obviously, that didn't work out quite how I had wanted.<br /><br />I would be concerned that by putting all my units together that he would be able to present too many targets. Also, if he kept his units together, Fateweaver lets them re-roll their invul saves.<br /><br />@GraveMind: I hate Flamers too!Wienashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756262005166254202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-45578975128375865562010-04-26T16:22:19.846-04:002010-04-26T16:22:19.846-04:00I was able to get an Ard boyz practice game in wit...I was able to get an Ard boyz practice game in with his daemons as well. He isn't a bad player, but needs to know how to use his Daemonic assault waves better. In my game two squads of flamers took out around 500points of my hq before they did anything. With my Hq dead, I ignored his big stuff and just killed all of his troops. I got a massacre because I had enough gaunts that he couldn't wade through them all to get me off an objective.<br /><br />I hate flamers! and I want invuln saves!TheGraveMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528343430721622307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-43318288317413552752010-04-26T16:12:22.707-04:002010-04-26T16:12:22.707-04:00Looks like a good battle.

The Vindis would have been better placed with the rest of your force.<br /><br />That way the units that were shooting them would have had to walk across the table, giving you more firepower and time to kill the Daemons on your left.SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-80227355399531999332010-04-26T09:41:33.983-04:002010-04-26T09:41:33.983-04:00Daemons are a tricky bunch.

Would have liked to have seen you win, but looks like there were plenty of lessons learned, so a worthwhile game. I'm looking to go up against my friends daemons soon. Hope you do better in later games.Heretichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14998180583172670653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-88232874368282981672010-04-25T09:34:38.812-04:002010-04-25T09:34:38.812-04:00I did pull out a win in the bottom of turn 5.

The final tally was 7 KP to 6, so there is a bright side to this story.<br><br>At the end of turn 3, I was ahead 5-1, and my opponent came back to lead 6-5 at the end of his 5th turn. Fortunately, I scored those last KP to pull ahead at the end.Wienashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756262005166254202noreply@blogger.com
