Another very close game. We called it with a couple activations left in the 4th as the 'nids would have had to do quite a bit to get 2 VPs and was staying open for us. So the 'nids won in the 4th in points, ~1250 to ~1000.

Matt, check your list. Did you use 75 points for the Vindicator or 50?

I used 75, so the land raiders were my sole BTS.

What's the right price?

My quick thoughts on this battle: Now that I've seen the Onachus list from both standpoints, I have to say that the dropping of some special rules from 9.2.1 doesn't seem to hurt them. I think they're 2-2 (which itself is a good sign), but the engagement results within-battle provide more data points than just plain wins and losses. When they get into close combat, the 'nids usually prevail*; when they get FF'd and/or clipped, they tend to lose. As a largely CC army, this makes sense, IMO.

*The notable exception here is Harriet the harridan. But screwing up the data here is the fact that she (that particular model) is cursed - I once killed her with a guard stand in CC - and the devastators she attacked are blessed - they took down some termies in CC (!). Dave needs to build some more 'nid WE's :)

I know this is going to sound rather dumb, but Ive read a number of your BatReps with the red and green chits, and for the life of me cant figure out what they are, numbers and all.

Thanks for such detailed reports. Can I get someone to talk down to my level for a minute to explain? :)

Dave really likes Christmas colors all year 'round, so we decorate accordingly ;)

Actually, the green tokens can be one of three things: 1) a formation marker with a number on one side and an "activated" symbol on the other (the lightning bolt thingy from the bfg order dice); 2) an overwatch token (with a crosshair); 3) or a broken token (the 3 arrow symbol on the other side of the overwatch one).

The red ones are blast markers, a 1 on one side and a 5 on the other. It's Dave's system - I believe he used litco tokens for them.

They're actually small poker chits (same ones used for the LCR dice game and the like). Not Litko, those are my bases.

But yes, 'tis the season.
