Turn 4 Turn 4 The Goliaths break one of the Swarms that broke the Bezerkers. The Dominatrix advances on the Leviathan. The Trygons TRY again (what a horrible pun...) and engage the Levians and Bezerkers. Both are wiped out. The Overlord sustains on the BTS and takes out the Tyrant. The BTS attempt to marshall and fails, breking. The Land Train clears the hill of all Bugs. The Trygons advance on the Brotherhood and lay a BM. The Bikes hold the Blitz. A Swarm doubles and lays a BM. The Brotherhood marshalls and lays a BM on the Trygons. The Genestealers engage. Three each go down. The Brotherhood breaks and the stealers break due to losses. The Robot engages the Stealers. He kills all but one. A Swarm overwatches and holds a T&H. With nothing to keep the Bezerkers on the 'nid half from contesting a DTF and TSNP the game went to points. The 'nids won it by around 800 if I recall correctly. |

wow, what a game! Was the co-ordinated assault on the Berzerkers by the 2 dropping swarms planned or a lucky accident? I think the Squats were punished for such a static game, though they did a lot better than I expected ![]() |

It was planned after the first drop scattered too far to assault. I doubled it up and fired, then the second one came in and got a better scatter after Tim moved it away. |

Hard to say from the pics but it seems like the Squats were spread awfully thin which doesn't seem possible in a 5000 point game. Which Squat list was this? |

Dave wrote: Tim, could you post your list? I sure can. I used the latest Thurgrim's list: 525 - Warrior Brotherhood + Living Ancestor + Exo Armor + Bezerkers upgrade 250 - Bezerker Brotherhood 250 - Grand Battery 300 - 2 Goliaths 700 - Land Train + Mortar Car + Bomb Car + Dragon Car + Bezerker Car (with Bezerker Brotherhood inside) 250 - Bikers Guild 250 - Robot Cohort 200 - Iron Eagle Squadron 325 - Hearthguard 405 - Bezerker Brotherhood + Bezerkers upgrade + Transport upgrade 350 - Trikers Guild + Trike upgrade + Bike upgrade 500 - Warrior Brotherhood + Warrior upgrade + Thunderer upgrade 450 - Colossus (not Leviathan as Dave says in Bat Rep) 200 - Overlord It was a close game. I think Dave is right that he won by 800 points. I made a couple of stupid mistakes, like not having the Bezerkers jump out of the Land Train before being engaged and an overwatch oversight, which may have cost me the game. Overall, it was an enjoyable game. This was my first game with the latest Thurgrim's list and my first game against Onachus. A couple of the unit stats need nerfing, but I like the direction Dave is going with Onachus. |
