Daemons Vs Blood Angels, 2500pts



EDIT:  It was pointed out to me via YouTube that one can't choose to reroll the Descent rule if it passes, which Carlos was trying to do.   I checked the wording and it's clear: you can only reroll failed attempts.

I'll pass that on to the Mighty Mighty Carlos.  Now back to the regularly scheduled program...

Thanks for the report. The game was definitely decided with Carlo's decision to deepstrike his army.

I have been running a DoA army for awhile now and I have learned that you deepstrike against shooty/mech armies and deploy against assualt/horde armies.

That said if he is still trying to get the hang of using a DoA list getting that experience of dropping in is invaluable.

Good battle report, clear voice and picture plus nice battle. Definately dont think I would DOA against daemons.

DOA is great but you have to bite the bullet sometimes and realise you cant always use it, plus with a 18" charge range, you can start on the board effectively anyway.

I play Carlos this coming Wednesday with my Salamanders army. I will have a little bit of everything in my list, so it should really help him out in the confidence department when he starts dropping in and actually destroying units.

Thanks for the clarification on the DoA rule. That would have been embarrassing had it been at a tournament. I knew going into the battle that dropping wasn't the best move but I wanted to have the experience. And just as I thought, it sucked big time. Don't worry Brent, we will play again and the out come will definitely be different.

I have been recently deepstriking my army versus hordes - Daemons, orks, Nidz, etc. The advantage being your opponent does not know where you are going to bring in the bulk of your army. I have found most horde players will start off in a castle formation then move forward in an attempt to cut off area on the table where you can drop. This actually works towards your advantage as they lose the castle and expose the units you want to hit first - such as synapse and such.

I am interrested to know if u used DoA on ur vanguard and terminators?

And deepstrikin against a deamon army probably wasnt the greatest idea. =)

Mmm... I'm not sure if I recall. I think he used Heroic Intervention on the Vanguards but I'm not even sure DoA is an option for Terminators.

And no, it sure wasn't!

(A new favorite!) Anon: I haven’t even bothered playing a game of 6th yet, cause I have read the rules, and actually understand how they interact with units. I know my armies no longer function how they should, and so I need to change them.

Brent, preferred 2-to-1 over Not Brent in a recent, scientific poll.

I'm a comment whore and this whore is getting no play.

Not Brent hurts Brent's feelings.

I think, therefore I blog.

Not Brent has been spotted lurking around with a green marker.

He's not like a bad guy from a cartoon, all devious but never quite evil, Not Brent is bad beans, man, bad beans.

Dethtron: "Again I feel obliged to remind you that trying to sound smart only works if you are."

Don't feed the trolls!

Go no further, lest thee see something thine eyes would fain look past!

There is nothing more interesting than We The People... in all our beautiful, ugly glory!

On Internet Advice: You see, I have an almost religious belief that's it's a huge, colossal waste of time.

...I think I'll call it the Gun Shy Pattern Stormbuster, because after the Internet destroyed my first humble effort, I find I'm a bit worried about the reaction to this one.

Lauby: "Is it left over from that time you thought that you could just complete step one 12 times to meet the mandates of that court order?"

Not Brent: "I guess we'll have to read on and find out. Signed, Not Brent. Especially today."

Cynthia Davis: "I think the scrolling text is from Glen Beck's new book."

Grimaldi: "Spamming certain units creates interesting possibilities but also fatal weaknesses."

Purgatus: "Math can inform decisions. It cannot make decisions."

Thoughts? Comments? Hugs and gropings?

You'd be that much quicker to figure out what I mean when I refer to a Unicorn if I covered it in a rainbow flag.

SinSynn: (To Brent) "Curse you and your insidious influence on the internets..."

Dave G (N++): "You know you're an internet celebrity when your following is more akin to tabloids."

I prefer the term Internet Personality (or IP) myself, seeing as how I coined it.

Lauby: "Your attempt to humanize him as failed. I feel nothing but scorn for his beard - it's like a warcrime or something."

BBF: "I've always thought you are a good player but I finally figured out that you are a great player. It's hard to see sometimes because your personality is engaging, sincere and quite charming - to me that is kind of a rare combination."

'Clearly cheating?' I didn't misspeak: you jumped to conclusions. If you'd like to apologize I'll be happy to send you an autographed picture of my ass.

Ass.

I thought I was doing alright before I realized I was losing.

Age and treachery beats youth and vigor every time.
