Slaughter in Space

Well I had fun at Adepticon. I might write up my batreps for the Gladiator. I ended up going 3-1 with an unconventional list.



I had 2 bad and contentious games at the 40k championships, so I stopped taking pictures and was tanked on my soft scores. I went 1-0-2.



But it is time to put that behind me and move on to the next event, the Slaughter in Space.



Here is my 2000 point list:

HQ

Chaos Terminator Lord w/MoT, Death Screamer



Demon Prince W/Wings, MoT, Warptime



Summoned Greater Demon



Elite

3 Chaos Terminators w/Reaper Autocannon, Chainfist

Aspiring Terminator Champion w/Lightning Claws

Troops

8 Thousand Sons Marines

Aspiring Sorcerer w/Doombolt

Rhino


8 Thousand Sons Marines

Aspiring Sorcerer w/Winds of Chaos

Rhino


9 Lesser Demons


Heavy Support

Land Raider



3 Obliterators

3 Obliterators



Comments:

I used an army like this at Adepticon and I scored high for paint, but it was ok on the tabletop. I took out the useless dreadnought and tightened up the assault units to make it a little harder. It is a well painted army, so it should do well there, and I am sticking to a Thousand Sons theme (9 models, MoT, etc.) so we will see how I do on the theme/comp scores.



Lord

I went with a Chaos Lord for the very first time since the 4^th edition codex came out. The reason why is that I kept getting shut down in my psychic phase will all of the anti-psychic war gear that was out there, and he can shoot his weapon without worrying about being stopped. He also gives me some much needed assault help, but I wish he had a higher strength.



Demon Prince

Always a solid choice for a Chaos army. With a 4+ inv save and Warptime can do a number in assault.



Greater Demon

Never tried one out before, so we will see how he does. I need to kill a very expensive model (70 point sorcerer or 50 point terminator) to get him on the table. I need some units with a higher strength to handle some of the tough critters, and he should help out some.



Thousand Sons Marines

Always a good choice. They have their AP 3 bolters that they can move and shoot 24". They have a Rhino for movement and protection. They are weak in assault, but hopefully the HQ and Elites can help them out there.


Lesser Demons

What can I say? I needed a troop unit, and they are cheap. The models are well painted!



Land Raider

The old standby. They give some armies troubles (orks) and are a pain to kill and take a lot of fire-power to bring down. They are also good at taking my terminators to where they need to go.



Obliterators

They are a great unit. I wish I could take 3 units without worrying about taking a comp hit. I think I will bring 9 of them to BolsCons since they have 2000 point games with a 2 hour time limit, and I need a small and elite army that plays fast.
