Earth-Centauri War - Report!

[KennyBoy]

My Drazi fleet was 4 Firehawks and 3 Stormfalcons (for simplicity sake) and DID suffer badly from lack of initiative sinks. I won 3 games, lost 2 (one of which I was bribed to loose, and yes it was Centauri Prime) and the last game I helped declare Earth independent.

The 8 ship limit was a killer. Firehawks were too fragile (lost 6 of them to 2 Falcons). Stormfalcons feel like they need to replace one of the secondary systems with a couple of AD of missiles.

These were my first games ever using Drazi (I've only been playing for a few months) and I feel I did quite well. Drazi is a fun fleet, but not a serious one. I kept on wanting to shout DAKKADAKKADAKKA!!! when I fired the solar cannons.

Yes, i'm the same when using my Dilgar fleet with all those lovely bolters!!!
If its not DAKKADAKKADAKKA!!! then its usually WAAAAAAARRGGGHH!!!

The Fireraptor was the solution. Just wish it was spd of 10 and switch the particle beam for heavies, making it perhaps a 5AD DD beam. Ah well.

Heehee dakka dakka dakka, been a long while since I holler those in BFG

Well your doing alot better then me with drazi, I had 11 battles with them, and lost em all. should have ran from afew of em but something about APTE towards the enemy with weapons hot just seem to numb my basic instinct of survival.

And the +1 to Give me Ramming Speed! doesn't help to being sensible

APTE + Boresight = Lose.

Oh yeah, you keep hoping your ships get crippled so you can use this bonus :lol:

[KennyBoy]

Dilgar are the Orcs of the galaxy! :twisted: [/b]

 

[Da Boss]

Well they have green ships - good start - need to make some red ones to go faster..............

 

[Burger]

Tenacious B has red Dilgar ships! And he is definitely an orc

APTE + SAP P SL Missiles, not boresight and not losing much if guardhawks or eyehawk have to APTE to init sink and stay out of fire arcs

and yes if thye don't get blown by the first barrage, well they have to be close enough, 6" or so to use the rule to full affect.

Going off topic but to clarify to peeps who don't know anything about war40k....

heh I believe she is refering to Mega Armoed Nobs being Slow and Purposeful in which they do not recieve a charge attack bonus. However Ghazghkull Mag Urka Thraka has a adamantium skull wargear which seem to contridict the jsut said rule

however I believe they may have change the rule for 5th ed., planned next year via warseer for source. That way the Ork codex wouldn't need a new revamp. This can be seen in the tend they do with war fantasy were the dwarf army book was made to follow 6th(or is it 7th now? :lol: ) edition before the new rules were released.

hrm....i think i'm going to convert my ork fleet to b5 and see how it goes. But no I don't think either dilgar or drazi are the 'orks' of b5, more align to the idea of 'klingons' or a warrior culture if any.

I'm also refraining from speaking orkoid since alot of people on this forum seem to be sticklers to 'proper' english. Although their language has a Cockney or Estuary english accent to it. Regardless I been ban from forums, games, teams etc for speaking the like :lol:

Pre-orc response...

IF these were your first drazi games going 3 and 2 and 1 declaration is very good, especially with that fleet. Frankly surprised you got that many targets. (but then I am consistently surprised by the number of folks who won't play denial of target with me.)

Drazi only get orc status if you go back to when the orcs had push button pigs and catapults for heavy weapons. Silly in their thinking and only surviving because the author says so.

Dilgar on the other hand are definately orc...
