Would have made a big difference in the combat. <br /><br />We did not use the inner circle preferred enemy rule, we didn't class the 30k as chaos space marines.

And did you...Did you try smite mode with the maces?<br />And did you play that the inner circle had preferred enemy or not? Depends if you consider them CSM even though they are 30k I guess. <br /><br />I love seeing Sam take down Abaddon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-58400011491878020882015-07-16T11:27:52.103+01:002015-07-16T11:27:52.103+01:00Thanks Dave The storm eagle put out a fair amount ...Thanks Dave The storm eagle put out a fair amount of firepower, but the durability of the new Ravenwing is great, especially with a Darkshroud nearby. <br /><br />I think that Sammael got very lucky in the challenge. He was down to one wound at the end of it as Abaddon had some really bad to wound rolls throughout it. <br /><br />I like the Ravenwing, they are so easy to paint to a decent tabletop standard. Once you've done the undercoat, you've got a lot of your job done. I managed to get three landspeeders done in a few hours on Wednesday night (wanted to get them painted up to try the Ravenwing support squadron formation tonight).

I've got another game tonight, will most likely be fielding an all Ravenwing force, I want to give the Support squadron formation a go.

I honestly thought you'd have no chance when I saw the Storm Eagle in the list, I imagine you'd have been able to assault the next turn after it hovered. Thanks for finishing the challenge off, interesting to see who came out on top.<br /><br />Looks like I'll have to really get to grips with painting black now!40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-17215215668913191702015-07-16T10:12:21.131+01:002015-07-16T10:12:21.131+01:00Very impressive showing and very good looking army...Very impressive showing and very good looking army in action. Always very pleased when you put up new battle reports!<br /><br />Have you considered using the ravenwing with the smaller deathwing formation for precision drop terminators? I don't think it would be stronger than this list really just be cool!<br /><br />Good stuff as alwaysRob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.com
