Setup:

Uvenlord garrisoned his BTS-Coven in the center of the board. They started inside a few buildings on a hill.

He then put his defilers on the left flank, 2 covens in the middle and his Hellfire cannons on the right flank.

I deployed my contagion towers behind a hill by my blitz. The Plague tower on the same hill in front oh his smaller cousins. A retinue started in the middle and on the right flank by a forest was the second retinue. The terminators and Hellblades started off board.

My thoughts:

Really enjoyed playing this! We did only use 2000p and played on a table that was only 140x120 so maybe it doesn't help much.

Retinues: Not much too say. Strong and durable, but must engage to be able to do damage.

Terminators: Super strong. 3+ RA and Fearless is scary good. But they didn't seem overpowered in this game.

Plague Tower: Love this WE!! With 25 cm move and a reduced price to 325 i will easily field 1-2 in every list. Great for defending objectives on my half. Can't really see the point of Taking Contagion Towers when they are way less durable, dishes out less damage and cost 50 poinst more... Maybe lower them to 300??

Contagion Towers: See above.

Hellblades: All good, nothing to report.

Next time i will try to field atleast 2 formatons of terminators and 2 Plague towers. Can't see why they wouldn't be in a 3K list...

Interesting to see how the tower worked out. I am using mine in LatD nurgle cult. I wonder if that would make any difference.

It was a fun game indeed!
Not sure you got my list entirely correct but good enough :)

The Plague Tower was very good in this match but will probably be more limited against a more mobile opponent. The non indirect 60 cm barrage can be avoided. This game the tower stood on a hill with full view of a big coven on foot and some objectives :)
Not sure I get the boost to movement. It is a tower after all, 25 cm is as fast as a nurgle rhino... (and if you compare it with the other warmachines this is supposed to be slow in my opinion. Hellcannons is 15 cm, all Khornes machines move at 25 cm but they are closecombat oriented. Right now it is faster then a IG superheavy tank...)

Fearless terminators with 3+ RA is really good. (almost too good :) )

I think we both got a good match up as we lacked in the long range shooting section.


Next time I will field two Plage Towers! (sadly the LotD can't have terminators...)
