Chaos v. Khorne Battle Report (Illustrated)

[Wyndstar]

Well, I had some free time tonight, so I did up one of the several battles on my backlog. It IS another chaos v. chaos, which I know I already did several of, but one of the sides took no terminators. How do you think that worked out?

So, here is the link to my 8th report of the series:

Hope you all enjoy it. I promise I won't post any of my other chaos v. chaos till I do a few of my battles against other races. This one is interesting just because of the lack of terminators on one side, as I said. I still have an Eldar and Space Marine game on my slate of ones to do, but this game was the oldest of the three on my backlog.


Thoughts? Comments? Feedback?

Cheers,

Still enjoying reading all of your Batreps for this army. Looks like it's really competition worthy. If you throw in enough fluff, and keep up the skillful lashing like the line trick you did there, most people won't consider your army cheese.

Really, he should've kept some of his Berserkers on the objective, and kept a few rhino's moving forward. If he had thrown the ones he emptied ahead of him as well, there's mobile cover for you to deal with. Those meltabombs on his champions would've been a great help against the Preds. If he could survive to get close enough.

Defilers are a bit strange to see with CC upgrades. Particularly when used to take out enemy armor, rather than charge in with fleet. An interesting battle. A bit funny that Kharn was melted so ungloriously.

All in all an unsurprising result, I'd say your opponents list is more fluff than usefulness. And could you ask him to explain the meltabombs on the skullchampions? He is aware they are str 9 on the charge?
Possibly would have gone better for him with PW's. And PF on the boss? LC would have been a better choice.
Nice rep again, but get some real opposition (I think a las/plas SM army would be a nice matchup, preferably with a librarian)

Yeah, I can't explain the meltabombs either, now that you mention it. Perhaps he should have gambled with a demon weapon on his lord with the extra points. To be fair to him, it was his first crack at the new codex... and what he really wanted was to try a list with no terminators.

I fought Space Marines and lost with this army, and that report is pending. Hopefully it makes for some good reading - it was very bloody.

As for the CC weapons on the defiler, I don't know what he was thinking? Maybe trying to make them flexible. I mean, how often are you gonna use an autocannon if you have a battle cannon? Of course, he lost the battle cannon, and was also unable to fleet by turn 3.

He's a decent player, although I win a majority of our games. He is just kind enough to play when I use lots of proxies to test out a new idea. I like to make informed purchases, and that means research, and that means proxy games.
