Ok so i have done a bunch of 6th ed games now, lots of testing and proxies on all sides at the LGS. some things about 6th i find fun, or just needed changes, unfortunatly much of this edition i really feel is poorly executed.

So making something out of this, i shelved my themed dread seige army since it has no survivability in 6th(perhaps they will get to come back out and play in about 5 years for 7th edition). broke out flyers and stuff for our 2k games.


I know there are alot of really wonkie combos with the allies rules and the double force org options at 2K(we usually roll 2k in all our games). however i decided to do something a bit different. our gaming group uses everything in the 40K line in our normal games. so it isn't odd to see FW units or even the odd ork stompas mucking about. i like to play small, elite and usually mechanised army list so to make them a bit more resiliant i decided on tossing in a couple storm eagles and using the superheavy detatchment rules. added my lovely doomhammer to the list.

the first game of the night i didn't bother adding pics since it was mostly proxied paper cutouts as my opponant was trying to judge the effectiveness of a list he was thinking about making.


I ended up fighting the necron airforce-7 flyers deepstriking . this game ended up pretty one sided. the doomhammer got knocked out turn 2 by concentrated fire and some good dice rolls. i did manage to use my eagles to take down 2 of his fighters. he then slaughtered all i had on foot. i ended the game with a loss with only the 2 flyers (and their riders) surviving.

The necron player slugged it out with our big eldar palyers re-vamped wraith list. they didn't manage to kill much of each other but the eldar managed to eek out a win.

Then it was my turn:

His list is pretty impressive-

.eldrad
.wraith seer

Troops
X2 large wraithguard squads

Fast
X2 eldar nightwing fighters

Heavies
X3 wraithlords with lance/missile

The wraithseer allows him to grant a few interesting abilities to his wraith units like FNP, it will not die, and fleet
he then uses his warlock to grant them cover and of course eldrad is tossing around fortune and guide etc.. like candy.
it makes for one resiliant army.


We rolled up mission 4, i finally got my warlord trait that allowed re-rolls on reserves( i usually get something worthless).

i managed to go first and drop a wraithlord with the hammer score a KP for first blood. most of the rest of the game saw me move away from those pesky warp rifles hammering them for all i had. i forgot to move my assault units on turn 2 so they got eaten by wraithguard. with 2 techmarines inside the hammer i managed to keep the hull points up and repaird for most the game. in the last turn(7) we rolled up nightfight so i sent my eagles off to hover over objectives claiming 2 worth 3 points each. that darn wraithseer wouldn't die, i took it down to a single wound in turn 5 but couldnt hit it after that. this allowed him to assualt the doomhammer on the final turn and finish it off. i lost a single marine in the explosion.

We tallied up the points-he was holding 7 points in objectives and i was holding 6, however my first blood scored me a 7th point to tie up the game. kind of ironic considering how many times we fought each other to a tie in 5th edition.

In actual kills i scored eldrad(he was to close to the front and failed his "look out sir" roll), a wraithlord, most of one wraithguard squad and about 4 guard out of his second squad

My losses were the doomhammer, a single marine, and a remaining hull point damage on one of the eagles.
