Green models - green board! Aahhh! :)


Cross-post re MW wepaons in assaults.
No, they are assigned and resolved first - but they are still simultaneous - you can't have a unit killed before it can deal damage - you don't go second, just assign second as it were (and this will be cleared up soon anyway). I hope no units got killed by regular attacks before they made theirs!

The biggest problem that can currently happen is that all the potential targets are killed by normal fire, leaving no targets for the MW attacks.

The Salamanders Dreadnought and one Devastator unit are used to trap one Devastator and the DarkAngels Librarian inside their Rhino.



All well and good...unti i started to roll really crap for armour saves :(
Salamanders manage to destroy the remaining Dradnought, the Hunter and the Rhino with the Lirbarian but onky the two Salamanders Devastators with Multi-Meltas (theunpainted ones) survive. The Thunderhawkis destroyed due to assault resolution roll and the two remaining units withdraw to the south.

Fazit:

The Salamanders Devastator units with Multi-meltas did the statisticaly correct damage: 2 units, FF on 4+ = 1 destroyed unit.

Only one Predator Incinerator came intorange to shoot. It did hit with one HeavyFlamer with a 4, a Heavy Bolter would have missed but the other Incinerator was to far away.

The surviving Salamander Tactical unit was forced in base contact and to couldn't use its MW FF5+ attack.


The Helios was a very valuable addition to the LandRaiders. It givs the formation the much needed AP shots. Yes most of the time he will hit only on 6+ but on more than one targed due to the barrage template.
But i think more than one isn't needes for the LandRaider Detachment. But the FF of the LandRaiders should indeed increased to 4+ instead of the Ruelbook 5+.
