First off. Let me show you where I was at Friday.
So there you go. Got to drive a tank and shoot a machine gun, and aside from two games played a couple weeks ago, I have not played for nearly a year. So we are itching to get the Grey Knights on the field. The Knight dual wing. Coteaz and Draigo. Space pimps supreme. Codex: Space Marines is dead, men. We must allow it to die and forage among the codex for grains of truth. And the truth is, Knights get the job done. So here is my list:
Paladin and Henchmen [2000]
HQ [525]
Quoteaz [100]
Draigo [275]
Levar Burton [150] Divination, Pyromancy, Telekinesis
TROOP [690]
1 Paladin 55
1 Paladin 55
1 Paladin 55
1 Paladin 55
11 Henchmen [Acolyte 4 Boltgun 1Power Armor 10 Melta B 5] *8 160[Acolyte 4 HS Las 5 Boltgun 1] 10 Jakero*2 70 [240]
12 Henchmen [Acolyte 4 Boltgun 1Power Armor 10 Melta B 5] *6 120 [Servitor 10]* 4 40 Jakero*2 70 [230]
ELITE [365]
Callidus Assassin [145]
Techmarine 90 [90]
Eversor Assassin [130]
HEAVY SUPPORT [115]
Dreadnought [115]
FAST ATTACK [205]
Stormraven [205]
FORTIFICATION [100]
Aegis Line 50 Quad Gun 50 [100]
I am trying to take advantage of the supermonkeys and individual knights being heroes. I am playing a crazy Blood Angels list. I have taken advantage of the 6th ed suggestion of doubling the FO at 2000. My opponent chooses not to do that, and fields instead what he refers to as his first legion. A very mean contingent of Blood Angels that goes something like:
HQ
Dante
Mephiston
TROOP
10 Man Jet Pack Assault squad, three melta pistol
5 Man Sanguinary Guard, two melta pistols, fist
ELITE
Librarian Dreadnought Lance/Wings
Librarian Dreadnought Lance/Wings Magna grapple
HEAVY SUPPORT
Stormraven with Plasma Cannon Multimelta Hurricanes Extra armor
Stormraven with Plasma Cannon Multimelta Hurricanes Extra armor
Stormraven with Plasma Cannon Multimelta Hurricanes Extra armor
The choices are few and obvious and determined by reserves. But what he doesn't realize is that I want psychics. I need psychics. You know what I hate though? Dante and his death mask retardation. Who is your most awesome dude? Oh. Well, take away one of all of their nice things. The Jakero don't get The Works. Instead the troop heavy unit gets rending while the servitor based squad gets an extra 12" of range. Game type is Purge the Alien [read Annihilation] hammer and anvil deployment. Which is my favorite deployment now. So glad it exists. Creates so many interesting situations. Levar Burton rolls on the divination chart and gives up his first roll to Prescience and then takes the one that allows you to ignore cover saves. Still not sure if that is possible, but we did it. So there. Everything is crazy. Just look. I can not explain with words.
