Well, I actually got a couple of Warhammer 40,000 games played over the weekend, much better than the previous two weeks.
With the "Motor City Mayhem" Team event coming up on April 23rd, it was time to get back to testing 1000 point lists and trying to finalize which I liked better.
So for this past weekend, we played two games, one on Saturday, one on Sunday and left the table/mission identical for both games, just changed sides of the table and our lists.
My list for Saturday I felt was a pretty balanced list for me, and I was extremely happy with the results, grant it I got first Turn of the game so my Imperial Fists came out of the gate shooting.
I concentrated on my two biggest threats which were the Razorback with Assault Cannons and the Hellblaster Squad, once those were eliminated I concentrated on the rest of the army. My Imperial Fists won 88-23.
As I mentioned above, on Sunday we swapped sides and I played a different list. I cut down my Eradicator Squad from four to three models and replaced my Tactical Squad with an Impulsor Transport.
I was not luckily enough to get first Turn in this game, so I had to wait it out for half a turn before the fire power started. Unfortunately my Impulsor took some damage from a Razorback with a Lascannon, enough that it brought it down a level in Movement so I had to rethink my plan.
Playing with Transports is always a tricky situation for me, not knowing when to jump out or stay in. I managed to get my Primaris Techmarine closer to the Impulsor and at least heal some damage.
This game was an uphill battle for my Imperial Fists, but come the late Rounds in the game (3-5) I managed to turn it around to my advantage. In Round 5 all that was left of the Dark Angels was a Hellblaster Squad, seeing how I had bottom of Round 5, I elected to eliminate the last remaining Squad. My Imperial Fists won this one 83-31.
At this point, I am still undecided on which list I like best :(
