First Game with Issodon/Atrapos

So my Templar friend and I did a Power 70 game.

I took:

• Captain with Relic plade and combi plas
• 10 sniper scouts with camo and a ML
• 5 bolter scouts with a HB
• LSS
• 10 Tacs with a combi plas, plas, and grav cannon
• Rhino
• Knight Crusader with RFBC

He Took:

• High Marshall
• Crusade squad loaded for CC
• LRC
• Stormtalon
• Knight Paladin

We did the Search and Destroy deployment and Retrieval mission. I wont do a play by play but LRs soak up serious damage. Knights RFBC can be puny or hilariously dangerous. Stormtalons are scary with twin assault cannons. Using rhinos to ram LRs is hilarious and effective. The new movement values are pretty cool. Contemptors are really fast.

Nusquam, on 31 May 2017 - 10:56 PM, said:Also more on the cover thing, units only get cover if they are all entirely on or in terrain. Not if they obscured by it, or if one model is out of it. Only in optional terrain rules do only vehicles and monsters get cover by being obscured. Infantry never get cover by being obscured unless they are withing 1" of a barricade that separates them from the shooter. That's pretty weird.

Also I really don't like the new cover system.

I also want to invest in some assassins as well. Eversors assaulting from 9.01" for 3d6"(+"1") turn one is scary. Vindicares are going to mulch characters.

Knight Atrapos WIPs

As I was working on my Atrapos and though of an origin story. A house that got decimated fighting  on a long lost forgeworld. They arrived at it and woke up it's automated defenses. The campaign to claim it went horribly as the defenses were arcane and extremely effective and included drone Magaera and Stryx knights. The Seneschal survives and seeks shelter in an underground manufactorum where a partially assembled Atrapos waited. Getting it running he discovers the planets defenses are slaved through the Atrapos' animus and through bonding with it claims the world for himself. With an army of drone knights he flings himself into the stars to claim as much as he can.
