The Wolfling Project

I tried my new SM 1500 point list. Got worked over by Niki's Dark Angel Deathwing.

My mistakes:

- I combat squadded the Sternguard, and should have kept them together.

- I forgot to deploy my Predator with A/C, so I was playing 60 points short.

- Not giving the Tac Squad Sergeants powerfists was a biiig mistake.

Observations:

- Tigurius is more fragile than expected for a 230-point special character.

- Niki made almost every damn cover and invuln save (!) so his termies were especially difficult to handle.

Is a thousand-point Cities of Death game the ultimate 40K experience?

The advantages:

• Easier to collect, assemble, and paint 1000 (or maybe 1500, if you want a lot of options) of troops, instead of the 2000 - 2500 for a sizeable 40K army.
• Grittier battles that don't offer ridiculous lanes of fire. Different from the fights on open tabletops which are better suited to Warhammer Fantasy or other games without long range, insta-kill weapons.
• Stratagems!
