I have decided to join the VIIth Call of Chaos over at The Bolter & Chainsword, vowing to paint 7 units for my Daemon Army!
I Teku answer the Call of Chaos and vow to complete
10 Daemonettes with Icon and Instrument
6 Plague Drones
1 Kairos Fatewaever (converted)
1 Herald of Tzeentch on disc
9 Screamers of Tzeentch
4 Beast of Nurgle
10 Pink Horrors (done)
before January 15th 2015. If I do this successfully I will
receive the Mark of Pustulant Glory and continue on the path to ruin. If
I fail I’ll wear the Mark of the Lost and I expect no mercy on my soul!
So last Saturday
4th October it was Challenge 9! Like always the guys from Roeselare make it a
fun and relaxed tournament.
First
battle was against Ravenwing with an Imperial Knight. Lots of bikers, Samael in
his landspeeder. His command squad in a land raider. I got one time invisibility,
summoning normal troops, heralds, plague drones and a daemon prince. I got
first turn and I failed the grimoire. So I made that unit invisible so had a
bad time shooting them. Luckily for me his first of shooting wasn’t that good.
I got in assault second round. Plague drones didn’t do much, screamer star
failed grimoire but invisible again, assault attack bikers to get my
maulerfiend save. Then his second round of shooting and assault went excellent!
Imperial Knight killing the screamer star. Think I should have let him take my
pink horrors instead, but still. Killed my maulerfiend and my sorcerer with invisibility.
Then it went all downhill for me. Not the right maelstrom cards and such.
Failing a charge…. 16-4 for my opponent. Very bad start for me...
Second battle
was against Imperial Guard with Dark Angels allies. He didn’t get Endurance so
I was luckily with that. I got one invisibility, a bunch of summoning stuff
again so fun times ahead I thought. Until he took first turn. So I had to look
out that he could shoot a unit in the beginning of his turn. Sadly I forgot the
Ignore cover order. So he shot my screamer star in first turn to pieces. And
guess what? He had the witch hunter maelstrom (kill a psyker unit)! So 2 points
for him. I reduced the damage as much as possible but my spawns only getting
one attack per assault phase really killed me… So I went 15-5 here. Bummer!
I could still smile then!
Third
battle was versus a wolf deathstar unit! Who I couldn't target with psychic
powers. Like fuck me right? Because I had hallucination, invisibility and terrify
+ psychic shriek. I could kill some stuff! Goddamned! How did it go? Well he
placed his entire army in a corner after I deployed in a long line. Just to
make sure I could attack him from anywhere.I moved in a way that he could only attack my screamer star (who didn’t
fail a single grimoire this game) so he would have a hard time killing them.
First round this would be proven so. Then I charged spawn in to the blob, then
a maulerfiend. But in the end I only killed one Thunderwolf lord… and some
wolfs. So this wolf star unit with Celestine and a priest will kill a lot of
things… 16-4 for jackystar.
Checking list
Trying to lock his wolf star unit
How did I
feel after his day? Bad is one word to describe to it! But what can I say?
I don't
have the real tools to deal with knights. I could have seized and kick ass in
the second battle. I could have had two times invisibility whole the time! But
that wasn’t the case. Since it’s an army
where it’s all or nothing. I had three fun battles, meet some new people and
got nominated for best painted! Didn’t won it but still. Was fun to be nominated!
Relaxing afterwards
On
the side note I finished my Teratons. Teenage Mutant Bashing Teratons!
And I'm going to London from 10th till 13th October!
