Any of you done a 5 player game? Our next session will feature five armies and I’m wondering how we could make that work. All vs all is most likely but I wondered how I’d we could do something else. Like a 3 on 2 siege or something like that.

Yeah one of them deffo had a thing that stopped overwatch

Oh yes. Slamguinius and Mephiston did one of them and then some eldar shite did the other

I should have whacked all my plague marines forward and move the DP further up earlier. Still not sure of how or how to use tanks the best. I used them as cover for my DP but then they got stuck in combat.

Yeah each team goes at the same time where possible (like movement phase) just to speed things up as 3/4 of the players are noobs and so games take ages. Things like shooting are separate as it’s hard to keep track of what’s going on.

Played another game last night, we got smashed again. Deathguard and Iron Warriors vs eldar and blood angels. They completely shut down our psychic phases multiple times, the dice were not kind to us. My bloat drone rove took the brunt of the armies fire in the first turn and still managed to survive till turn 2. But then it all went wrong and my team mates army was essentially done as a force from that point forward. Didnt get home till 1am! Good times though. My model placement was woeful, I had two squads of PM sitting around doing nothing for a turn (the game was to secure a relic). I stroll struggle with all the various dice roll calculations and modifiers. I did base the kitbashed daemon prince for the game.

A mate bought me a deamon Prince, I had some spare bits from a beast of nurgle so made some modifications.

I'm on the sub so waiting for the latest drop, I am getting annoyed at the amount of duplicates sent through - 3 editions with the same scenery.

Yeah I can't wait for that edition of Conquest - I have two PBCs so a third will be a lot of fun.

Yeah the revised list is as follows: HQ: Demon prince (Warlord), plague caster Troops, 3 squad of plague marines (2 that have a plague launcher thing) Fast attack: bloat drone Heavy Support: 2 PBCS

I might borrow a friends PBC and then have three, (dropping one squad of PM and the blightspawn)

1k points, I'm going to whack a fulgris helm on the blightspawn to increase his aura of smellyness

I am tempted to ditch my previous list and go vehicle heavy for fun: 2x PBC 1x FBD 1x MBH Typhus as Warlord with arch contaminator trait 2 squads of Plague marines Foul blightspawn The plan would be to shove the PBC into the center of the board, deep strike Typhus with them, use the plague marines to sit on objectives with the blightspawn to help stop charges (perhaps with fulgaris helm?) and the drone/hawler to chase around raise merry slimy hell. Likely we'll be up against Eldar and Blood Angels

Got my next booked for Thursday. Changing up the army somewhat: HQ: plague caster, typhus elite: deathshroud troops: 20 poxwalkers 1 squad plague marines elite: blightspawn (that’s the one with the flamer thing right? two plague burst crawlers with plague spitters Dropping the myphitic blight hawler May be a mistake but I’m doubling down on slow grind death.

I still don't like Robute's face in the 40k model, prefer the forge world version of it.
