Death From Above: 12th Conflict

Sunday 14th april it was 12th conflict in Aarschot. The 12th time Team Conectr organized this tournament and I had another great time. The missions they had where the same. My army wasn't!

Last Time I brought Blood Angels this time it was Chaos Space Marines. Most likely I'm going to tour with Nurgle Angels for the next few years. The first battle was against Chaos Daemons. First time I played against them. It was a fun battle, but we didn't get past the third turn the result was a draw. No problem for me. His flying monstrous creatures had just landed in my lines. I was glad the game was done.... I wasn't going to make it otherwise. Didn't do anything wrong here. Slaanesh daemons & screamers just are nasty. So are the flying monstrous creatures...

After the lunch it was up against the archenemy of Grandfather Nurgle! Tzeetch Chaos Space Marines! The two parts that really made me sad was that my Great Unclean One was destroyed on deepstriking and my Chaos Lord turned into a Chaos Spawn... Was good battle nonetheless didn't do much of mistakes. Should have focused more on his squad of Thousand Suns and don't roll 1 on the deepstrike mishap table...

My future Daemon Prince?

Last battle was against Wim (the person after Wobbly Model Syndrome). Last year the first battle was against him. Next year will meet half way? So this battle didn't turn out like I thought it would be. Made some errors and some scarifies. Like placing my Plaguebearers in front of this Carnifex unit. Something had to distract the fire! After that my Havoc luckily killed his Warlord. I didn't get first blood. My damn rhino's keep giving that away. But still It brings them where the battle is and the lets plasma away! Or poison the Tervigon! They did manage to get a wound of! In the end my lone plague marine survived the battle against his Zoanthrope. And don't place the Helldrake with his rear facing the Carnifex all those twin linked shots!

The person who won the tournament was a Dutch guy playing with 3 Helldrakes, 3 Maulerfiends, 2 Hellbrutes with autocannons or lascannons, 2 units of plague marines in a Rhino, a Chaos Lord with Burning Brand, Aegis Defence Line and them some cultists to fill in the rest of the points.

Not so sure about the Maulerfiends. Hellbrutes maybe yes! I'm thinking about making a Daemon Prince with the Black Mace, Wings and Power Armour. Other than that, there is a going to be a second Helldrake in my list for sure this summer.


The Score

Also the last painting for the tournament list. I'm going to tour with this list for the next few times to see how it goes against other armies. But the second Helldrake and Daemon Prince are coming in the summer list for sure!
