So me vs Marko's Chaos Marines we shall call this the battle of the sponge. Almost everything had an invulnerable save. Rather annoyingly it was the kill points mission and as always I had over double the number of kill points to give up as my opponent.
Turn 1 I lost my commander to a khorne champion on juggernaut.
Turn 2 I did however obliterate a unit of berzerkers after forcing them out the rhino.. The only unit without a invulnerable took 18 plasma wounds. One guy survived as they were in cover, but it did bring up the issue of vehicles nowadays. You can't assault after getting out one, including when you got out because your ride was destroyed. An assault unit in a rhino is looking at a turn 3 combat at the earliest, not a great idea. Although it does get them across the board sharpish.
After that was a sad affair. Took my entire army to deal with a unit of thousand sons. And the last guy ate the combined shooting from 3 units.
I now hate obliterators. They just cannot be killed, especially with a 4+ invulnerable. I killed everything in Marko's army except these guys. I was unlucky to consistently miss with my lascannons/plasma gun, but still.
End result was 12-6. He had first blood (My commander) and Warlord and line breaker from one of the thrice damned obliterators in my deployment zone. Plus a number of units.
Stupid invulnerable saves. Had a normal Leman Russ, that was a waste. Would of been better of with a demolisher. Other than was a surprisingly solid list.
