It was a madhouse. And also a slaughterhouse.
I took:
- Abaddon
- 20 Chaos Marines with Mark and Icon of Excess, full basic gear, 2 Meltaguns, Fist Champ
- 2x5 Marines with BP/CCW, Meltagun, Combi-Melta Champ, Rhino with Combi-Melta
- 10 Marines with Bolters, Plasmagun, Autocannon, Icon of Vengeance
- 2x5 Havocs, 4 Autocannon
- Aegis Line, Quad Gun
My opponent had a mish-mash list with all three of the new Daemon Engines, a pair of HellBrutes (One Reaper, one Multi-Melta/Heavy Flamer), two big Squads of Thousand Sons, a big mob of Cultists, and a couple of HQ Sorcerers.
Between Abaddon, massive quantities of Autocannon fire, and a bit of Meltagunning, I tabled him in Draw Mission without losing a complete Unit except for the Rhinos.
Some highlights:
- My opponent decided to fool around with Boon of Mutation at the start of the Game, with the result that I picked up the VP for First Blood and Warlord before the first Movement Phase of the Game had even properly started
- Abaddon tanking in front of a Slaanesh Squad with Icon is, in fact, awesome.
- So is that volume of BS4 Autocannon Fire. 9 BS4 Autocannon, 2 of them Twin-Linked, is pretty ridiculous against AV12 targets. The Daemon Engines and HellBrutes just fell apart.
- An Immobilized MaulerFiend is about the most pathetic thing in 40K
- We ended up with a total mess of Challenges toward the end, in a massive four-Unit brawl with attached ICs.
- The very last result of this was Abaddon Ascending to Daemon Princedom, and then walking over and punching the last two 1K Sons to death. ;D
A certain amount of this was due to the Mission being Emperor's Will, so pretty much everything just slammed together on the line between the two Objectives.
Really looking forward to playing more with this Dex. Disappointed that I don't really have any way to get in more than one Game per Week.
