They kind of did the first part, keeping him away from the the upper left objective for a while. As assassins, they simply weren't fast enough to catch his Jetbikes, but when originally adding them to my list I thought I may have to deal with some immobilized Wave Serpents, and rather than wasting my Flyrant and Dakkafex fire at it, a well placed Lictor would be enough to take it out. The reason I used Deathleaper is that I wanted at least 2 separate Lictor units, and I couldn't fit those + 1 Zoan and 1 Venomthrope in a single CAD, so I needed an HQ amongst my current models.<br /><br />The Venomthrope was hanging out with my Flyrant and my Carnifex down in a ruin for 3 turns. I should have squeezed my Tyrannofex in there too, or placed him in the opposite corner behind the ruins for a decent cover save as well, but I wasn't thinking right.<br /><br />Ultimately, unless I can start in Shrouded Cover in the middle of my deployment zone, which was impossible with the way the terrain was laid out, I think I need at least 2 Venoms, or a Malanthrope and a Venomthrope (or 2 Malanthropes, but lets not get too hasty!)Alladin the Paladinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04511944547698978283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760069594541172663.post-36861041686173233152015-02-10T14:17:39.717-05:002015-02-10T14:17:39.717-05:00Nice bat rep.

Where is the venomthrope in this list? (He could have given the fex a 2+ cover save!)greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.com
