Got in a couple of battles this evening, one involving 'Nids. Of course, I'm opening with the old teaser post, and you can check it out here:

Great report Chroma! I also have AMTL so it was double interesting to me. I was a bit surprised by the composition of the AMTL, I must say.

| Quote (Hena @ 24 Feb. 2006 (18:46)) | Yes, I would be intrested in comments. A question though. Did the second Hierodule with Dominatrix get killed in the engage? It wasn't mentioned after getting 2DC damage from firing.
And it seems that the AMTL player let you engage two reavers in one move... Which I consider a bad move from your opponent when he only has 3 titans to activate and you got 2 with one activation. |
Yes, it was an odd composition, to say the least, my opponent called it "Three Titans with speed bumps", what do you find unusual about it ObiWan? The weapon load-outs or unit mix or what?
As to the Heirodules, they both got Melta Cannoned away at the very start of Turn 2. In fact, if the AMTL player had rolled a little better (he scored 5 Melta-Cannon hits, and only wound up doing 6DC worth of damage!), he might have killed the Dominatrix right there.
As to bagging two Reavers in one go, I don't think my opponent expected me to co-mingle 12 DC worth of Titans with my one Bio-titan and was just hoping for support fire. As anyone who's read any of my reports knows, I *love* to attack co-mingled units. *laugh*
If I hadn't won the initiative in Turn 3, it would've been a *much* different story and I think Titan Legions would've have had the day.
My main comment on the whole thing was "I can't believe Bio-Titans only have CC4+!"...

Well Chroma, what I found odd was composition, but as you opponent himself says, it's 3 titans with speed bumps. I'd usually field differents units, but given the point value you played, it may actually not be that odd, there isn't much room for any other units unless you eliminate a titan, and then you have an IG list instead of an AMTL list
