Hey guys i'm a newbie here but i have a story of survival against all odds that has been known to shock and delight many a wargamer for the last year.
I was at my first tournament, the GW run Conflict in Sydney australia, I'd just been completely destroyed by an Ork army (his dead pile consisted of 3 boys and 2 gretchin, mine everything except the 2 retreating bikers at turn 6) and was pretty afraid of Orks, suddenly im tossed into round 2 of 3 against another Ork army, several turns of running later and my 185 point daemon prince and his retinue of 4 chosen are under an ordnance template from a looted demolisher, 2's to kill everything all instant death, no armous saves... my opponent picks up his dice and rolls...
5 1's!!! that squad alone earned me 50% of my victory points in kills after they charged and ripped apart his tank, went on to win that game with crafty use of my bikes turbo boosting between objectives until my obliterator turned up and took over 1 and the squad infront reached another, so my bikes contested my opponents only objective.
Ah how I do love retelling that story, my one victory by use of tactics, then it became a Khorne army...
