I may be mistaken, but aren't rubric marines also Chosen of Tzeentch?then I'm going to use 19 rubric marines/ with AC with 2 LC's and D. Str., D. Mutation and Spikey Bits.

no rubrics are the basic TS unit
(and they're 2 wound each too hehehe)
Slugga boyz
1 Nob/'eavy armour, Power Klaw, Bionik arm
29 slugga boyz
I assume that since the boyz are not a "retinue" but just part of the squad I can take 3 pieces of wargear. Tell me if I'm wrong.
15 bloodletters! Lets see those marrines eat my FURRY!
Look on the bright side....
Dang, I was hoping you meant only on a Hive Tyrant/Carnifex/Broodlord.Originally Posted by MooFreaky
I'll have to have another think about my squad.
Edit - What about 6 Raveners with Sything Talons and Rending Claws (it's 1 upgrade choice)? Nowhere near as bad as the Warriors since they can be splatted by the powerfist.
Archon with punisher. 5 incubi.
#57
I take it my stealers are off base too and whether I could make an arguement that Troops choices taking upgrades should not count as armory choices it would be breaking with the spirit of what Moo is trying to do here if not the letter.
Hence:
Genestealers x 12
Scything Talons
Only one of us is going to leave here alive and it ain't gonna be me!
No one is above the law...of physics.
#58
Dammit...I don't know why I didn't think of that motherland...I guess I just have an unholy fetish for daemonettes...
it's been a while!
Can't remember maximum unit size of possessed
What about this...
19 Nurgle possessed with D. Talons
Asp Champ with Manreaper, D.Essence, Nurgles Rot.
Think that is right isn't it?
If their max unit size is 10 and not 20 then take this instead
19 Nurgle Marines
+Asp Champ with Manreaper, D.Essence, D.Strength.
(20 altogether to avoid confusion)
Ok since Nightbringer cant be taken, I shall use Khornate Possesed,
9 Possesed w/ MOK, Daemonic Mutation, Chainaxes, Bolt pistols
1 Possesed Aspiring Champion w/ MOK,Daemonic Mutation, Dark Blade,Juggernaut of Khorne, Feel no Pain,
MOK is taken as an option according to unit entry so eveything should be fine for this one right? Also juggernaut gives me mutation aswell as the squad mutation but im not sure if they are cumulative.
Okay here is my entry with one question?
19 rubric marines
AC with 2 LC's and D. Str., D. Mutation and Spikey Bits and gift of chaos.
Now since he is auto a sorc. with his mark does my major power count as wargear?
If so i want to drop D. Strength.
Thanks guys

Just for the hell of it, and 'cause I'm curious about how a Kroot Carnivore unit would do in such a situation:
Kroot Shaper (w/ 6+ Sv for everyone)
20 Kroot Carnivores
12 Kroot Hounds
3 Krootox Riders
They're probably going to get butchered, other than the fact that they outnumber the assaulting Marines roughly 3:1 and 16 of the bunch get multiple attacks w/ 24 attacks even before the Marines get to cut loose. Should be fun, even if my Kroot finish dead last...
(Kinda pointless in these combats, as the Marines aren't subject to Morale, but I miss the old "Release the Hounds" rule for the Kroot Hounds from the old Codex. On the other hand, I like the fact that Hounds have slightly higher Initiative now.)
P.S. Yay, Moo!

I'm going to go 1 better than Tinweasel
Kroot Hound Pack - 20 Kroots, Shaper, 20 Kroot Hounds
Powerweapon, Armour save.
#64
I'm assuming that was a jokey post, as the max number of Hounds you can take in a single Kroot unit is 12. As for the power weapon and armor save, I think I like your Tau Empire Codex better than mine...
I had considered taking a Pulse Carbine for my Shaper, but seeing as how there's not going to be any shooting by either party and Pinning rules don't applying in CC, it's kinda a waste of points I'm not really spending even if it is an option.
[Edit] My bad, Popsumpot's using a Kroot Mercenaries list. Ah well, I'll stick with my Krootox as they have higher wounds, strength, and get more attacks. 20 Hounds sounds tempting, all the same... Isn't that Kroot Mercenaries Chapter Approved outdated now, though, as Hounds and Krootox are no longer separate Fast Attack/Heavy Support units coupled with the fact that their stats have changed? [/Edit]

He's using the Kroot Mercs list, I believe.
Using "Mark of the Favoured Child" for the Inv, and Power Weapon.
Is that right Pops?
LC = 1 choiceAC with 2 LC's and D. Str., D. Mutation and Spikey Bits and Gift of Chaos
D. Str = 2 choices
D. Mutation = 3 choices
Spikey Bitz = 4 Choices
Gift of Chaos = 5 choices
need to drop a couple
#66
Yep, and that intergrated 6+ save for everyone.
Still haven't see an uber DN......Feel sad for Chaos.
I though LC's where a weapon option not a chocie?
Then I'll drop D. Strength and Spikey bitz
As far as me picking Furious Charge and saying it's worthless...well, no, not really. I can use the Hit and Run special rule of Raptors to move back after assault, then get within range and use Furious Charge to assault them.
Multiple missiles incoming.
Critical damage: left arm, right torso.

That's right Moo.
I'll change it if it's out dated.
I'll have to go down and dig out my codex's tomorrow. When I do, I'll have my post up. At the moment my entry is:
5 Gears - 1 with Lancer, 1 with Hammerburst, and 1 with a Boomshot.
But really, when I find them, I'll post 'em. Untill then, my REAL entry untill codex fix'd:

I will get onto them in next couple days.
I will have bits and pieces of time...
As to things so far. Do people find that just getting a result posted is kind of bland and takes away from it all? Is more depth preferred? I won't do it for all of them, but maybe for the top contenders? Thoughts?
#74
It's kind of bland, I suppose, but only since we've been spoiled by the other challenges. I think describing only the top three and maybe the bottom three would be fine. Leaving you free of course to describe any others that were noteworthy in any way.
But it's up to you. No descriptions at all are fine as well.
Any chance of getting a list of who has what for us lurkers?
i.e.
Nareik123 Grey Knight Grandmaster with Icon of the just
3 Grey Knight Terminators. 138pts = 13
Bl4d3w4lk3r Grey Knight Terminator Squad (Elite choice instead of IC with retinue): Brother Captain with Lightning Claws (1 allowed Wargear) 9 Grey Knight Terminators with Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield (free upgrade in options of entry) Points??? = 26
Rainbow Monkeys - 19 Wyches w/Wych weapons, 1 Succubus w/Agoniser and CC weapon- 288pts = 45
#76
I like it the way it is. The easier the better in my opinion.
Unless someone thinks of a really good way of setting it out, leave it like it is.
Wow, did I really kill 47? :flamer: But I suppose some of the big entries are still to come, like cfoleys BF, and Dooks GS.
Its fine IMO, mabey describe the top 3, but i think there isn't anything else worthwile you could do. So i say: Keep it as it is!
Aw crap, only 13. *sobs*

#81
28. Woo-hoo.
7!!!
:jaw:
I can't believe it!!
Looks like my dready met the wrong edge of a power fist faster than i had hoped! I thought the vernarablity would make him survive a bit longer. It shows the vulnerablity of vehicles to getting nabbed by just one shot. Hopefully he will do better in other challenges. Go dread!!
I was surprised that my 2+/4+ saves and WS 5 didn't hold up longer but I'm happy with 26 kills.
My unit would have cost 505 pts and killed 632 pts of marines, I expected a 2 to 1 return on points but at least they earned back their value!
Only 7 marines? Wow.
#85
Thanks for the vote of confidence! Things can go horribly wrong for me pretty easily though. I am really counting on getting 6+ rending hits in the initial go. If I don't score atleast that many it could get pretty bad for me pretty quick.But I suppose some of the big entries are still to come, like cfoleys BF, and Dooks GS.
Come on math hammer averages!!!
Don't discount my rubrics, 19 2 wound MEQ shields for my AC, plus i'll be getting the spawns too
#87
I think this is the first challenge my entry hasn't actually come in last. How nice.
~Bizkit
man... you'd think a bunch of Ass Termies would do better. 20 kills only? Eh meh, 2 to 1 ain't that bad.
12? Ach. Thought I'd do better.
Damn, Dark Watcher. You damn loyalists and your Thunder Hammers...
#90
40 Marines is mean enough. I'm actually looking forward to see how the Chaos DN work though.
BTW, just do what you want Moo.
#91
Not to look stupid here, as I am a Chaos player, but whats a Chaos DN?
I am an Iron Warrior! Iron Within, Iron Without!
#92
Chaos Dreadnought
First CC i entered with a Kroot Merc, this time, Hope I can do as well.
I still wished Moo would have let me enter that 1 grot for it.
#93
The big thing that has stood out is the consistency of the Termies performances thus far. It has really highlighted to me just how Termies work.man... you'd think a bunch of Ass Termies would do better. 20 kills only? Eh meh, 2 to 1 ain't that bad.
They are able to do their job well initially, killing plenty on the charge and survivng alot thanks to their 2+ save. However, without support they are getting worn out over time. Their 2+ save is great, however in a drawn out combat, such as this, not having a superior WS or I value is causing alot of problems.
It's actually the higher WS and/or I models that are doing better than expected, rather than the better Sv models.
I am doing the remaining forces as we speak...

Official Results :
Results
5th Place Finisher :
Dooks Dizzo (Genestealers) - 44
Solid rending results in round 1 saw just 3 marines get to counter attack.
The second wave were wiped out without even getting an attack, out of 30 attacks there were 20 rending hits (I shit you not)
Things started going down in wave 3, when the 6 surviving marines caused chaos. They survived 2 sets of attacks from the Genestealers, and caused alot of casualties.
The Genestealers barely made it through wave 4, and the marines left just 2 genestealers alive to face the 5th wave.
But 4 out of 6 attacks were rending and that was the final action by these Tyranids who were then wiped out.
Results
4th Place Finisher :
Rainbow Monkeys (Wyches) - 45
Not much to say here. Consistently solid. The only force that didn't really decrease in effectiveness at an exponential rate. They got to reroll misses, which isn't that great when you hit on 3's... but better than nothing.
The Succubus was rather pathetic though, and she caused below average wounds.
They did things in the usual Wych way, they struggled to kill their enemy quickly but the enemy really couldn't do any damage in return. Eventually wave 7 hit and the Wyches were just so outnumbered that they couldn't hold them back.
Results
3rd Place Finisher :
None...
Results
2nd Place Finisher :
Tied
Ahh! Motherland (Bloodletters) & Evil_Eye (Tyrant & Guard) - 47
Motherland was cruising along, wave 1 and 2 were dismissed in short order. However, the lack of an initiative advantage proved an annoyance, as the Marines managed to whittle down the numbers slightly each round.
By wave 3, the Bloodletters couldn't kill an entire wave, resulting in the powerfist cutting down 4 Bloodletters by itself in one round.
There was no real point of collapse, the Marines simply whittled them away until there weren't enough attacks being thrown at the Marines to kill signficiant numbers.
Evil_Eye was cruising even better. The Marines were incapable of damaging the Tyranids (well, they were capable, but failed in doing so) for the first 3 waves.
Finally the powerfist came to life and killed 2 Guards in the same turn.
The Tyrant wasn't able to reach the powerfists quick enough, and eventually surcame to their power.
Results
Winner :
Dropkick (Rubic Marines) - 48
What to say here?
The Rubics got extremely lucky on more than one occassion.
Here's a list of dice god interventions
- 12 wounds. All saved.
- 15 wounds. All saved.
- 4 powerfist hits, 0 wounds (on 2 occassions)
- They hit the marines 8 times, 8 wounds, 8 failed saves.
and the best
But when the Aspiring Champion was the only remaining model left, a powefist failed to even wound him once in 3 rounds of fighting (that's 7 attacks)...
In that time the Champion killed 8 Marines, enough to get him over the line to victory.
However, this is not to take anything away from Dropkick for his clever entry. What they lack in firepower, they made up for in survivability. They Champion relished the immense cover he was given, and the Chaos Spawns provided some nice backup for him.

Very nicely done Moo....damn, only 24 kills for my ladies = ( better luck next time darlings. I blame Tzeench for Dropkick doing ridiculously well, he obvioulsy fixed the dice rolls, and needs nerfing in the next Codex!
Look forward to the next challenge!
aw so close!! 2nd is the best i've come so far though, just 2 more would have pushed my score from 48-50 and 1st place. Well i'm V pleased with the result and congrats to dropkick!!
EDIT- I looked on the list & you seem to have missed cfoley. I was only looking for him because i expected him to do well :blink:
#97
Nicely done. Congrats to the top placers. Again, well done Moo. I look forward to more, and greatly enjoy the new format for the challenges, as they are not only fun & interesting, but also easier for you.

#98
I didn't miss Cfoley.
I left him out because he smells...
Ahem... I had done the results for him, just missed entering them into Access.
He's in there now.
I might ask: why am I not included in the results anywhere?
Im aliveeee!!!
Formerly GawD
FOR THE CHANGER OF WAYS
ALL IS DUST
