Turn 1 - DE
So I went first. Both warrior units took shelter in a ruin in the center, hanging with two objectives. One raider with the Incubi moved up on the left to behind a building, while the other raider went to the center of the table behind a ruin. Shooting offed a Scarab and put a wound on another.
Turn 1 - Necron
He moved up stuff. Shooting was out of range due to night shields or it was out of LoS. In the assault phase, the scarabs swarmed the Bloodbrides' raider and predictably nommed it to scrap. They got out, not pinned.
Turn 2 - DE
Both flyers show up. The Incubi drive forward and hop out in front of a unit of warriors (w/o Lord), while Lelith and her girls surround the Scarabs. The shooting phase sees the tesla-Immortals get imploded (along with a couple warriors), and about half the Lord's warrior unit goes down. Those flyers can dish it out! In the assault phase, the ladies annihilate the scarabs and the Incubi drop 11 warriors, making them flee and die. Phew!
Turn 2 - Necron
Suddenly down 36 models from the previous turn, he considers his options. His shooting causes a glance on the Razorwing, as well as taking out a couple Bloodbrides and four Incubi. Decent, and painful!
Turn 3 - DE
The Razorwing flits off, while my two other vehicles shoot up and wreck the Stalker. The Warriors tickle some warriors (
) and take down two of the royal court. The ladies fail the charge due to suffering a casualty from overwatch, but the Incubi make it into the warriors. The Archon challenges the Lord, and the clone field produces 3 copies and shuts down the Lord, and Archon Chuckle-Stab (seriously, he kept producing 2-3 clones and laughed at his opponents and stabbed them each time) knocked over the Lord. The Incubi utterly fail and only take out three warriors; they hold. Turn 3 - Necron
Hmm, he moves to hide and hold the objective he still has. The barge kills half the remaining bloodbrides, leaving me with four
. The Lord gets up and gets confused by the clones. Archon Chuckle-Stab gets too giggly and also does nothing. Some more Warriors go plotz.Turn 4 - DE
Flyers come back and shoot up the joint, destroying the Annihilation Barge. Lelith and her girls join the fray and help wipe out the warriors. Archon Chuckle-Stab gets depressed because his shiny toy is broken. They consolidate toward his remaining 6 models.
Turn 4 - Necron
He moves out to try and shoot me a bit before getting wiped out. In a spectacular attack of the onesies, the three remaining Incubi get flayed away, and Archon Chuckle-Stab takes a wound.
Turn 5 - DE
Archon Angry-Stab is done with games. He and his best girl Lelith go wipe out the remaining toasters in an orgy of death or whatever.
Total casualties: 9 Incubi, 6 Bloodbrides
Victory!
Review:
I like how it went! I'm sure it had something to do with the dice or skill or something as well. The Incubi were nasty! I wonder how people ever only use units of 5 in venoms...9 is so much more effective. The Archon with the Clone Field was interesting. 7 power weapon attacks plus really powerful anti-tank capabilities, with the additional benefit of completely shutting down characters in challenges. I feel like I should've had some sort of transport for the Warriors, but they did just fine.
The flyers were very useful! The Razorwing fighter made for a superb ground-attack fighter, sweeping away enemies. The bomber made even quicker work of infantry...the Implosion missiles were nuts! I'd love to have four, but those two were pricey at 60 points. That's a whole transport vehicle right there. Alternatively, it's an entirely deleted enemy unit like terminators or paladins. No bomber model is also depressing, though I've seen a few nice conversions.
So, what do you, dear readers, think of this game?
