Hey,

Long time, no gaming. But I took some time this wednesday, and got in a game with the 2014 playtest Onachus List, facing the new Black Legion:

Thanks man. Did you opponent have any thoughts? He nearly got the 'phant, thanks to the double crits (was it a crit on a crit?!).

We both liked the list structure of the new Black Legion (Armoured Co in Core, Decimator in War Engines, Free Daemons from pacts).

He was frustrated by the Genestealer screen; I think it was a tactical mistake not to bite the bullet and get rid of it once and for all (Hellblades would probably have done a good job of it).

I don't think he felt the list was unbalanced, though; The deciding factor in the game was the strategy roll for turn 2; Much would have looked different if the Daemon Prince had been allowed to do his thing.

A critical (+1 damage) with a critical effect roll of 6 (+1 damage again). Ouchie. Still better than my AMTL Titans - they tend to detonate as soon as they take a single hit ::)

I think he would have been better served killing the 'phant rather than taking out the Lictors. They served their purpose, certainly, providing a distraction.

Heh. CaptPiett had a pristine Warlord engage Robbypk's SM Scouts. The Scouts won, inflicting one hit on it. In the End phase it became crater.
