Managed a game against Steve54 last night, thought I'd try out the enlarged vindicator formation so took two of em (also, freshly painted they needed a baptism of fire)
IF list
Tacticals + supcom + las razorback
Tacticals + las razorback
whirlwinds + hunter
Scouts
Fellblade
6 vindicators
6 vindicators
Terminators + chaplain
Thunderfire cannons
Storm Talons
DG list
Retinue + rhinos + warlord + pact + vindicator
Retinue + rhinos + pact + vindicator
Terminators + pact
Zombies
4 preds
Chaos marines + pact
Defilers
plaguehound
plaguehound
hellblades
4 lesser daemons (although according to armyforge it should have been 3)
I took lots of pics, but as usual, as the game wore on, I started forgetting.... so it kind of peters out halfway through turn 2 as is normally does...
Setup:
Fists win initiative after 3 drawn rolls!
scouts double
DG BTS retinue doubles
stormtalons go on CAP
second DG retinue doubles
Whirlwinds sustain on them....
...killing a lone vindicator
[DG activation missing]
thunderfires sustain on them...
...killing a few
[DG activation missing]
Fellblade doubles up and kills a single stand(!)
Chaos preds are hit by something... or maybe this was them moving up and shooting the fellblade.... I forget
vindicators double and hit the preds, killing 1
Defilers double up and hit the vindicators
second vindicator formation moves up and hits the retinue AGAIN... all hits are saved.... grrrr
plaguehound knocks out a vindicator
Tacs double to prepare to engage T2, they spread out to avoid the worst of the nearby plaguehound's barrage
IIRC the plaguehound then singled and managed to hit the tacs, killing FOUR stands of marines and a rhino.... grrr
