What's scarier than one greater daemon of Khorne? How about THREE GREATER DAEMONS OF KHORNE!
This whole thing started when I happened to notice that Apprentice Who's new Tyranid army was roughly 1000 points and 3 Bloodthirsters come out around 1000 points. I offered to have my three monsters fight his whole army and he accepted the challenge. Mine is a Supreme Command detachment while his is a Battalion so he will have 6 command points to my 4.
The setup: We had a mission with some objectives but they won't matter. It's the Swarmlord and his super friends vs. Khorne's Avengers!
Turn 1 Chaos:
 |
| Come to papa! |
Turn 1Tyranids:
Turn 2 Chaos:
 |
| CHARGE! |
 |
| BLOODTHIRSTER HATE SMITE! |
Turn 2 Nids:
 |
| Two of the nastiest things in the game head to head! |
 |
| That's a lot of wounds piling up quickly ... |
Turn 3 Chaos:
 |
| ONE THIRSTER IS DOWN! DOWN I SAY! |
Turn 3 Nids:
 |
| "Piling in" - literally! |
 |
| Not going down without a fight! |
Turn 4 Chaos:
 |
| HA! |
 |
| ARGH! |
Turn 4 Nids:
 |
| The End! |
So the answer is that 3 Thirsters is probably not up to taking on another nasty HTH army all by themselves! I maybe should have ganged up on the Swarmload first and avoided the swarms of smaller creatures but I thought one BT could handle him! Clearly not! Also Smites are mean when you have no defense and no Smites of your own!
Anyway it was a fun game and didn't take all that long to play. We may do it again here with the new Imperial Guard using a tank army just to see how that goes.
