2,995 POINTS

Turn 1

Termies drop in and summon daemons. They then engage the regimental command unit and intermingled flak battery, and then roll snake eyes for combat res and die because they can’t run far enough away. The rest of the forces jockey for position, while Hell blades and talons peck at exposed and isolated troops.

Turn 2

Death wheels keep Malcadors occupied and provide support for a series of clipping assaults on the disciples, eliminating them. Bikes and Retinues creep around and hide from Malcadors.

Turn 3

Any remaining Disciples are destroyed or broken. The Regimental HQ is shot up and just rallies. Malcadors are two slow and can’t crawl over the 50 without loosing their objectives.

At the end 2-0 Word Bearers with TSNP and DTF.

============================================================

The problem is the Malcadors are really expensive and slow, so your opponent can dance around destroying the other parts of the army get a massive activation advantage.

The garrisoned Malcadors are also massively susceptible to attacks by space ships. Eespecially from the big battleships as they don’t move off the objectives the entire game. You can almost guarantee where they’re going to be on turn 3.

If I know there’s a good chance I’ll be playing against Vraks I’ll take a space ship from now on.
