Baltic Brother Challange Part 2

Ok, part 2 of my short report of the BBC...

Game 4 we had to face Team 40kings,ETC Teammembers,tough one.... SailingLord against a horde of Thunderwolfcav and I had to play a leafblower-guard list. Mission was tablequarters, 12" in. I won first turn and set up,my plan was to ignore the mission until I crippeld his army enough to gain one or two quarters, depending on what´s left on the table.
He stole the initiative.
Yay, that moment I felt like my hamster died.
Long story short, turn one he silenced my guns and stunned or destroyed my vehicles.Turn 4 he left nothing but cinders...


SL managed to gain a draw, but we still lost because of me getting blasted off the table.

Game 3
Mission was 5 objectives, 12" in, both players at one table. Awesome. We played against a Blood Angel jumperlist and a mixed guard,again members of the ETC-Team.
I don´t remember any huge events anymore because most of the magic took place within small thinks like positioning within combats and stuff, except from some insane rolling the first 3 turns which granted us a huge advantage. Top of turn 5 we held 5 of 5 objectives, bottom of turn 5 it was 1 to 1 and ended. They made some really good moves right there and due to some good rolls they managed to turn a devastating loss into a good draw.My respect there.

All in all we became 4th out of 19. Not bad but we hoped to reach at least top 3.But next year XD

So,take care and a happy new year

I think thats a good mixture of firepower and close combat capabilities. Id love to have another Powerfist in there, but I need a second attackbike to actually use them at all, because for some reason in the last 7 games it could only hit once and did actually nothing with the meltas. Normally Id drop the bike completely but its speed and its scary multimelta gave me huge advantages in almost every game, so i decided to just increase its effectivity.
Tactic in gerneral here is weakening up the enemy while advancing with the whole army,taking out major threats like demonprinces or opening up transorts, and then crush them in the assault.
 
Ill test the attackbikes tomorrow night, might put up a batrep.
 
take care
