red scorpions vs. daemons - 2k

this was my first game against a veteran player who has done nothing but pound my face in each time i've played him. he plays a nasty daemon list, which is you head over to his blog (yesthetruthhurts.com) you can find it.

he is going to write up the battle report, with pictures, and i will link it as soon i see that he has it up.

well i deployed first... and game one ended when he rolled for his secondary drop of 4x5 plaguebearers, 2x10 bloodletters, and 1x6 fiends.

so we actually got to play a second game, which he got his preferred drop of 2x6 fiends, 3x daemon prince, 3x heralds of tzeentch

my take...

deployment: quarters | mission: 5 objectives

i realized too late that my deployment was way off. i deployed my speeders in the open, ready for bolts to be thrown at them, as well as my inquisitor lord, which was sitting on an objective in the middle if my table edge 8 inches in. i realized as soon as he he started dropping his army, that my inquisitor with mystics should have been sitting on the objective in the middle of the right 2/3 of the table... with range on mystics covering most of the board. from now on. i probably deep strike speeders, and don't deploy my inquisitor far far away from deep striking units. especially since i take sanctuary just for playing daemons. andy also taught me a neat close combat trick, probably will save that for unfriendly tournament play...

more to come when andy posts his batrep.
