Lord Hanaur Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Another question came up: Does the following formation come in automatically turn one if their is no other drop pod in the list? Rules of the formation:: Wolf Guard Thunderstrike: 1 unit of 10 Wolfguard in a Drop Pod, and 1 unit of Terminators with all of the supplement special rules (Kingsguard, Sagaborn, First Among Equals). All units in the Formation must deepstrike, and, they all come in on a single roll. Well the issue is that the Drop Pod comes in WITH the Terminators in this Formation. And since the Terminators cannot Deepstrike turn one, the Drop pod has to wait with them. So that is the ruling for this tournament. It's clear enough for this tournament, in any event.

s6nculve Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Will the Necron C'Tan Shard of the Nightbringer's Gaze of Death be played RAW, or are there any rulings on it for the tournament? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Can you be more specific? I know what the Gaze does, but can you tell me your question on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s6nculve Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Some tournaments, and some players in general, basically have a rule in their tournament FAQ or a house rule that any wargear or special rule that causes Wound or Penetrating hit, without rolling To Hit, can't affect Flyers or FMCs. There's no bases for this when talking about RAW or RAI, though I believe it's for balance and/or realism. For example, Imotekh's Lord of the Storm special rule wouldn't affect Flyers or FMCs.

Lord Hanaur Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Flyers and FMC's follow very different rules for this, actually. The Hard to Hit rule for Flyers (specifically) says: "any other attacks that don't roll to hit, cannot hit zooming flyers" The Hard to Hit rule for Flying Monstrous Creatures (specifically) is very different. It states that: "Shots resolved at such a target can only be resolved as Snap Shots unless the model or weapon has the Skyfire Special Rule." So very very different. A Skyfiring Hemlock Fighter can actually Fire its blast weapon at an FMC because it has Skyfire, whereas no one can fire a Blast weapon and hit a Flyer. Just too agile or fast I guess. Therefore, something that does not roll to hit can still hit FMC's per the Main Rule book, but not flyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Hanaur Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Just a quick note that if you have not played the BAO missions, read them carefully and make sure to practice them once to "get into game shape". Better not to be surprised by mission particulars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Sweet maybe we can get a rematch in the final round . My Tyranids are always hungry. I was hoping you'd make it to this one, too. That would indeed be pretty awesome. I've got Grav Cents this time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonwinter Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 That would be cool Our list would be a interesting dual. My list has changed a lot lately. Centurion's would be a new wrinkle to deal with. Are they with your space wolves or a SM army? Of course playing you in the finals would be epic again.

WestRider Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Space Wolves CAD with Ultramarines and Dark Angels Allied Detachments. Pretty much a full Drop List, 7 Pods and a Storm Talon. Not a CentStar, just three Cents in a SW FA Pod. You've got a major advantage in the air this time, with three Flyrants matched up against just a single Storm Talon, so I'm going to have to absolutely dominate the ground game to pull it out.

Talonwinter Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 So you used 3 detachments. Cool I was trying to do that as well but I lack the models for it to work. Yes I dropped the Raveners, Tervigon crone, venom and termagants for a lot more offence and Deployment options. I will have to counter you ground presence carefully. Who ever gets to pick who goes first and second will have a good advantage that's for sure. So many pods. The most I have faced is 5 maybe 6. Pods can be most troublesome to destroy at times.

Lord Hanaur Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I played against this crazy Talonwinter list. I assume he will make some tweaks to it but it is mobile and lots of real mean creatures in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonwinter Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 My list I played you with has changed a lot. Another spore fex and a extra flyrant. it will hit very hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Hanaur Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 And go go Sisters of Battle. The Sisters went for the jugular at the top table instead of going for second place. I admired that spunk. Aaaaalmost pulled it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Woot! Westrider kicks some ass! Just need a little more. One of these days I'll get that #1 slot again. I think it's been almost 5 years now since I actually got Best General on my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
