Apocalyptic Batttle 2: Riptor vs Steel Nathan

[Pickle]

Riptor's List
53 obliterators

3975pts

Tactics? Well what do you think? Stand and shoot. No deep striking, just start them on the boards, and blow the enemy away from turn 1. Lascannons and Multi Meltas for heavy tanks, Plasma guns and flamers for infantry. If you need to stretch that into 300 words, just repeat 'Shoot, Move, Shoot, Move' 75 times.

Masterplan:
Lemartes is joining up with the Death Company, their job is to enter combat ASAP and rip open everyone they see, being accompanied by the assault marines. The mult melta attack bikes, dreadnoughsts and predator annilators is my main anti tank. Baals and the attack bikes with the heavy bolters are helping taking out the hordes. Tacticals will go into combat squads. The Lascannons one will stay behind and fires the lascannons. The other guys move out and rapid fire everyone. Scouts Infiltrate and fire their snipers.

Get voting, hope the best list wins!

Nathan it looks like most of your losses will be coming from overheating plasma weapons. then again it looks like you don't have too many people to fight.

Post up some tactics people! I need reasons to vote for you.

[ArchonFarseerGuy]

Oblits vs Lascannons and Meltas. There can only be one result.

Steel Nathan should have little difficulty winning this.

While 53 Obliterators IS intimidating, I believe Steel Nathan's army does not suffer from a lack of AP2 weapons.

My vote is for Steel Nathan

[Jaffar_Hasad]

I want to vote for riptor, but his army is set up to get eaten. His tactic is to stand there and shoot, where Steel is very mobile and has lots of guns that make a mockery of obliterator armor. My vote is for Steel Nathan

But I would expect to see a HUGE loss of his own troops due to overheating.

[ArchonFarseerGuy]

I think he was being sarcastic about the Stand and Shoot thing.

[Steel Nathan]

Oh man, haven't been here for a while.... ooo voteing time .

Ok 53 oblits.... didn't see this coming really.

Ok tactics....

Lemartes, the Death Company, the assaults and the bikes would move up and fire and get into combat ASAP. Everything else would get into range and fire the crap out of them.

Honeslty I can't say much, only beacuse there's one kind of unit in there lol.

Jaffar: Usually I get pretty lucky with plasmas, although I guess I'm guaranteed to lose at least one dude from the number of plasmas..

Edit: AFG: I don't think he is......

Ahaha, I didn't HONESTLY expect this list to get in, and so was not totally serious when I made it. Hmm.

Right, I daresay there is little i would be able to do to stop the close combat, without using all of my fire on them, and thus I would have to rely on the fact that they are all seperate squads to keep you from destroying them all in clsoe combat (Thank you, removal of sweeping through ranks).

I guess I would have to aim to remove the Tri-Las predators and dreadnoughts first, as they are the most like glass cannons (They can hit me hard, but are removed with RELATIVE ease via a few lascannon shots). I would most likely wait for the close combat units to finish destroying an obliterator each, and then rapid fire lasma guns into them (Don;t want to risk plasma cannons scattering into my own units). Use plasma cannons for any units further than 12 inches away from my models, thus removing any risk of killing my own units.

With the 'Stand and shoot' thing, I was not ENTIRELY serious, I would not say it was sarcasm, as there is little I can do but stand and shoot. Obviously more thought will go in than that, but its difficult to show without being in the actual game itself.
