“bare-bones” CC Carnifex

He had all kinds of bio-morphs giving better saves and shooting to some, and gave leaping to quite a few (including the Ripper Swarms)

It was actually a pretty close battle. The Deepstriking Justicar was the Man of the Match, last guy left in his squad all alone and singlehandedly took out two Zoanthropes and wounded the Hive Tyrant for one before succumbing (to a Carnifex that charged the combat – the Hive Tyrant kept missing him in CC.)

I lost the game, though The Leman Russ was all that remained in the end, shooting up a lone Genestealer, the bare-bones Carnifex at full strength, the shooty Carnifex with one wound left, and six Ripper Swarm bases. The tank died…

Had a rematch, same basic lists but at 1900pts...

First turn casualties bug side: 1 wound to 'fex, 6 Termagaunts dead.

First turn casualties for DH: Lemann Russ destroyed.

And it went spiraling down farther into the black hole of bad rolls and missed saves from there...

It was evident at the middle of Turn 2 that without AWESOME rolls, the DH were done for.

Looks like Deamon Hunters ain't that useful against Xenos - funny that!
