Hi all,

I have a 2000point game versus a good friend of mine tomorrow. I know for a fact he will be using his knight and a space marine force ( either UM or IF). Knowing that in our last match his knight proved a major pain the the a*$ I have considered the following list:

HQ Chapter Master
Artificer armour, storm shield & relic blade

Command Squad
Apothecary
Champion
2x Power Axe, 4x Storm Shield
1x Melta Bombs
Drop Pod

Troop
2x Tac Squad (10 man), combi plas, PG & Rhino

Elite
(5x Assault Terminators) x 2 squads
5x TH/SS (in a Land Raider (with MM)) x2

1x Dreadnought (MM/ CCW)

Scouts x 5
4x Sniper Rifles
1x Missile Launcher
5x Camo cloaks

That brings me to 1999pts. I may need to double check my arithmetic but Im pretty sure it is that amount.

I know that he will not be bringing flyers, but may have some anti tank ( including the knight)

C&C is welcome. Any modifications or advice on how to play this kind of game is appreciated

Cheers

Well heres the kicker- now this actually happened, and I was as shocked as my opponent.

The Hammernators got into combat and removed 3 moves in the first close combat round, then died, the other termies got into combat straight after, again causing 4 wounds that failed to save. I was shcoked!

Anyhow if it wasnt for his destroyer weapon failing to roll sixes, and alot more 1s than to be classed as healthy, it would have been a totally diferent ball game.

...doubt that will EVER happen again!

Well If I ran a CSM army I would do that. I am considering a word bearers army as my next long term project, ill take that in mind for the future.

I got the charge both times with my terminators, and my opponents rolls on the D strength table were pretty poor. Id say lady luck was on my side that game

The knight in question had a battle cannon and chain blade. Didnt really threaten my troops as they were spread out quite thin, with my elites in land raiders. One land raider bought the farm, but I allowed for that as it got into charge range of the knight. As for the terminators, yes they dided in the end to stomp attacks, then the next team got into combat and killed the knight outright.
