A Trip to TripleHelixWarGames, Westbury

Ok so back in Somerset and took a trip to TripleHelixWarGames and had a couple of awesome games and picked up my old cases.

First Game was against a Cybork Grot and Biker Army and my opponent asked me to play Vanilla. Was a good 3000pt Game and i came out on top 7-5kill points largely thanks to 'Null Zone' on my libby....what an awesome power.

Second Game  was against a very experienced Blood Angels player (3000pts as well)...literally litertered with Special Characters (Mephiston, Astorath and Lemartes). This one i took some pictures of as I knew it would be a good game, and it turned out to be a massacre....Death Whispers got the crap kicked out of them. Just a quick heads up with my list below:


HQ:
Termi Lord with DW/MoT
Sorcerer with MoS Lash, Familiar and Gift of Chaos

Troop:
3 x CSM Squad with PF/Combi-Melta, Flamer, Melta, MoK in Rhino
2 x 10 Sumoned Lesser Daemons (my guard were filling that gap)

Elite:
4 x Termie Champ Lightning Claws with MoS (in Land Raider)
6 x Termies with MoT (5 PF, 1 CF and 1 HF)
5 x Chosen - 2 x Flamer, 2 x Melta, 1 x PF

Fast:
5 x Raptors - PF, 2 x Melta
3 x Bikers - PF, 2 x Melta Mark of Nurgle

Heavy:
1 x Vindicator
1 x Havocs - 4 x Plasma in a Rhino.
1 x Havocs - 2 x ML 2 x HB

So most of my normal stuff littered with marks and extra bits and pieces littered for fun. My opponents list was definatly alot more 'tweaked'.

HQ:
Astorath the Grim
Mephiston

Troop:
10 x Death Company all with Power Weapons (two of these, one with Lemartes, other with Astorath)
1 x DC Dread
5 x DC  in Land Raider with Flamestorm

Elite:
Furisio Libby with Wings and Blood Lance
Chaplain (with 5 Death Company)
Furisio Dread with Blood Talons and Magna Grapple

Fast:
Baal Pred with Heavy Bolter
Baal Pred with Flamestorm/HF

Heavy:
2 x Stormraven


MY opponent Lee and his army after deployment....

Me after deployment....Havocs and Libby in far right rhino (aim was to take out stormravens early, that didnt work)...also infiltrated the chosen.

Not going to do a full turn by turn analysis...but just show some highlights (mainly Mephiston, punking everything).....



Last picture uber Lord and Termies got punked despite assaulting...mephiston is a giant cock.....

End of the Battle - Libby went for it with Lash pulling astorath about and after the plasma havocs did naff all wounds i charged him in...Final Result Blood Angels 13 - Death Whispers 2....

A shocking result but an amazing game none the less.

Thanks Lee and will battle you with the inquisition when i come down again!

  1. It sounds like you had fun, even on the second game! I know you don't like expensive lascannons, but I think the extra range would have helped against AV14. Meltaguns are a bit too short range, especially against fast Blood Angels. For this game you also seemed to have a lot more kill points on the table, with all the transports.
    I have T6 Nurgle bikers on my Chaos army too. How did they do?

  2. The T6 bikers did ok, still die one shot to Multi-Meltas and Lascannons.

    I feel if i gona take lascannons it needs to be on predators or land raiders, i just cant justify 40-50pts for a single shot weapon....
