Stoobert Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I'm headed to Adepticon for the first time this year for 40k and Firestorm Armada. I'm playing this funny team tournament on Friday night. Warhammer 40K Combat RAT Patrol is based on the well-received The Lost in the Warp Individual 'Team' Tournament format. Each player should bring a 400-point army chosen from a limited Force Organization Chart similar to those used by the Warhammer 40K Combat Patrol. Each player will be paired with a different teammate each round. Games last about 1 hour. Let me sum up the rules basically: Force org: 1-2 troops, 0-1 of any other (HQ, fast attack, heavy, etc) Max AV 12 on any vehicle Max wounds/HP 3 on any model My IG list will likely be as follows: Vet squad with Carapace and 3x plasma in Chimera Primaris Psyker riding with them (Prescience + plasma = fun times) Griffon Mortar 6ish Rough riders one of whom as a flamethrower (cuz awesome) Any thoughts? Has anyone done this event before or plans to do this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I have no experience with this format. I really can't say if it would be effective or not. Do the missions require mobility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobert Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think so, there are objectives on the table to be scored it's not just kill points. I might be better off with a Vendetta in this case, but like the idea of shootin' from the hatch! I guess no one else is doing this format, but it seems really fun. I'll report back here after the 'Con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Do keep in mind, you can't cast Prescience from inside the tank :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobert Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I thought I could cast prescience on my own unit inside the tank (the vets he is riding with)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 In 6th, you could. In 7th, the only Psychic Powers that can be used from inside a Transport are Witchfires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoobert Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 This was a fun (not serious) event for anyone who makes it to Adepticon next year. It's cool to have a new partner each round and all my teammates were nice. 4 rounds was a tad tedious, but I enjoyed myself. Playing 2x wave serpents with DA inside was never scoffed and it was a good choice of list. The only downside is I had no characters so I had to rely on my partner for being the warlord. Often it was simply a SM sarge or something equally 'unwarlord-ly'. I made some new friends and had a good time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
