Brothers in Arms - 2012. Introduction


It happens suddenly. You play tyranids and do not wonder that someone is looking at you and the moment comes when you hear “Hey, whant to come to a team tourney with us?” “Oh, hell, yes!”. That happened with me too and as a result I took part in a “Brothers at Arms – 2012” team tourney in Moscow. It was a 1850 pts, 6-man per team, 5 games tourney. 16 teams took part in the event. I participated in a “Minsk & Co” team, that consisted only from Minsk city players:

Johnny – Belarus ETC team captain. He brought a nice new CSM army with 2 dragons:)
Daemon – Belarus ETC team first defender. He took a IG+SW army.
Bloodroad – Belarus ETC team semi-defender. Initially Paul agreed to go with or team, but he experienced some problems for the tourney date so with changed him with Bloodroad. He took Paul’s SW+GK army.
Yaroslav – Belarus ETC team attacker with a powerful DE+Eldar army.
F9SSS – first new face. He started to collect Daemons this year and is very successful so he was invited to take part in the event.
Erle – I’m the second new face to the Belarus 40k team. I took the position of Attacker for platoon IG and the like.

My list is as follows:


HQ1: Hive Tyrant (170), Wings (60), TL Devourers x2 (30), Hive commander (25), Old Adversary (25) = 310 Pts
HQ2: Hive Tyrant (170), Wings (60), TL Devourers x2 (30), Old Adversary (25) = 285 Pts

Elite 1: The Doom of Malan'thai (90) in Transport 1 = 90 Pts

Troops 1: 13x Termagants (65), Devourers (65) in Transport 2 = 130 Pts
Troops 2: 13x Termagants (65), Devourers (65) in Transport 3 = 130 Pts
Troops 3: 12x Termagants (60), Devourers (60) in Transport 4 = 120 Pts
Troops 4: Tervigon (160), Toxin sacks (10), Catalyst (15) = 185 Pts
Troops 5: Tervigon (160), Toxin sacks (10), Catalyst (15), Onslaught (15) = 200 Pts
Troops 6: Tervigon (160), Toxin sacks (10), Catalyst (15), Onslaught (15) = 200 Pts

Transport 4: Mycetic spore (40), Twin-Deathspitter (10) = 50 Pts

I want to say Thank you to my wife, who helped me to paint dakkagaunts!
Also, a lot of thanks to Zubr (Hive-fleet Apophys) for minis;)

My army is straightforward in action – drop and shoot. That was the plan! We’ll see what happened in reality!

It’s a pity, I forgot my camera at home, so no photos in batreps. Nevertheless, I decided to make all 5 complete reports for some analysis. To be continued….
