In general, the boards we played on really did not have many option to actually hide from the enemy. For a durable army like Tyranids it was not as bad as it could have been.<br /><br />I normally like to see anywhere from 8-12 different pieces on the board - I think that provides an interesting setup with fire lanes. I also like it when there are a few 4+ pieces, plus your standard 5+ area terrain. It really makes you adjust your plans to the battlefield.Calypso2tshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245702599694373835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-1529829035483126412013-03-19T07:33:21.960-04:002013-03-19T07:33:21.960-04:00They were following the adepticon primer mission g...They were following the adepticon primer mission guidelines. Normally we play with a bit more stuff on the board, but it was a small concession in an effort to help prepare the teams that were going to adepticon. <br /><br />In reality, after traveling around to different areas, and GTs, this amount of terrain was still better than most. <br /><br />I guess we're lucky that Millennium has great terrain, and others bring theirs in (*Cough* Hyv3mynd *cough*).

I counted 6 pieces of terrain which is the bare minimum.brossatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647555368104410943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-23222490296841021312013-03-18T18:11:40.315-04:002013-03-18T18:11:40.315-04:00Or remember Warp Quake, then shoot the Doom, and R...Or remember Warp Quake, then shoot the Doom, and RUN AWAY from it if its not dead!!!

Being on the receiving end of Terminaotrs - it feels like getting plastered by Psycannons.<br /><br />The PBS and Marbo were champs (in CC with TMC no less) near the end. If they had upped their game earlier, who knows how many dead Tyranids there would be. Maybe send the Psykers into CC next time instead of the Purgation squad?Calypso2tshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245702599694373835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-51266366821645413852013-03-18T11:23:16.442-04:002013-03-18T11:23:16.442-04:00Nice report.

Also, not that it matters much given the ungodly number of ones I rolled in this game, including right from the get go as you so aptly noted, but a squad of ten terminators can only take two psycannons and that is all they had. I sometimes wish it were four, but the only GK squads that can take four are Purifiers and Purgators.

Gratz on 2nd you guys did us proud yet again with bugs. <br /><br />I love the relic mission despite it favoring some armies like nids and orks. <br /><br />Something worth noting is the PBS can't use weaken resolve while embarked. It's not a shooting attack or witchfire and required LoS so its prohibited from using a fire point. Not sure if it mattered against nids but it's a unit we see pretty regularly around here. hyv3myndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986893384791002364noreply@blogger.com
