Played my first game with houndpack/warpack. Got to say im not hating it. Took the win against blood angels 53-52. Came down to the wire but I managed to keep enough alive to squeeze out the win. Any critiques or advice to make the lists better would be appreciated!

Bonus, semi narrative battle report we do for our local group

Blood angels vs chaos knights

The planet of Tesus-4 had been under seige by heretic forces for months. What had started as a small workers rebellion had quickly snowballed into a full on insurrection. Several hives had already fallen to the heretic forces by the time the Blood Angels had arrived in system. Having only received the first astropathic transmissions, the chapter was unaware of the true scale of the battle. Believing this to be nothing more than a Cultist rebellion, Dante sent forth a single company to take a foot hold. Lead by cheif librarian Mephiston, the Blood Angels sought to claim the ruins outside of Hive City Crantor as a beach head.

Unbeknownst to the Blood Angels, the traitor knight house Usurial had made planetfall several months ago. With the dread houses support, the rebellion had sped up its capture of the planet substantially. The very presence of the traitor knights weakened the local materium to such an extent that deamons had been manifesting freely all over the planet for weeks. When word came that their would be astartes landing outside their hunting grounds inside the hive city, Lady Letrix lead her houndpack to ambush the unexpecting marines.

Turn 1

Without warning, the Blood Angels Landing site was beset by a seething horde of traitor knights. In their brazen assault, the wardogs charged at the Blood Angels head on, spreading themselves evenly across the front line. The Blood Angels returned their charge in kind. Killing their pack leader and several other overconfident hounds in the ensuing counter charge.

Turn 2

The astartes had fallen for the knights diversion perfectly. Having overcommited to the front line, their back line had been left undefended. From the fog of war, a knight Karniovre and a Soulgrinder of Slannesh appeared in the friendly back line. The remaining forces that had stayed behind to guard the rear were completely overwhelmed. Undeterred by this development, the Blood Angels pushed deep into the houndpack lines. Hoping to split the force in half and cut them off from one another

Turn 3

Mephiston pushed his warriors to continue their advance. Leading from the front, the cheif librarian charged headlong into the ancient wardog Canis Primus. Spurred on by their leader courage, their Redemptor Dreadnought charged headlong into the fray in defense of Mephiston. Were that not enough, the Sangunary Guard that had arrived moments before screamed forward in a flanking maneuver to overwhelm the knights back line.

Without warning, dreaded deamonettes of Slannesh poured onto the battlefield from tears in reality. Without warning, the Sanguinary Guard were awash with the vile creatures boging them down in a swarm of pincing claws.

Turn 4

On the opposite side of the battlefield, 2 wardogs were engaged with the remnants of several partially destroyed blood angels squads. Sensing the fight was turning against them, the wardog stalker left his Karnivore brother to die in his "glorious battle".  Charging up the midboard, the stalker fired a torrent of bullets into one of the last full Blood Angels squads.

Back at the front, the ancient Dreadnought was beaten, broken and near dead. He had engaged the wardog in a fierce duel to the death. Ancient warrior vs A hound of the golden age. His power fist failed him as Canis Primus ripped his sarcophagus from its housing. Victorious but near dead, the dog was viciously put down By the  Blood Angel librarian.

Turn 5

So many have fallen, so few had survived this planet fall. Their had been no Intel that the traitor forces had knight support. If the chapter was to be Victorious, it would be here and now.

Mephiston was alone, none that had followed him into his charge had survived the assault. But they made the Traitors pay for it. Their was only him and a long executioner left on this part of the battlefield. He could hear fighting in the distance but it was too far to matter now. Mephiston, had almost managed to kill the beast, when all at once it stood up to its full height. It reared back, put its putrid maw to the sky and let out one long high pitched shriek. Caught off guard by the overwhelming noise, the Librarian could only watch as the hound loped off into the ruins.

On the opposite side of the battle, several surviving bladeguard fired their pistols off in frustration as the stalker they had been chasing smashed through a ruined building and fled from the battlefield.

In another corner, knight stalker Dreadsnare examined his gore covered slaughter claw. Satisfied with his kill against the intercessor squad. He felt the vox Howl before he heard it. The Reconnaissance operation was a success, they had engaged the enemy and broke their beach head as instructed. The frames of their fallen packmates would be recovered once the Blood Angels retreat. This was only the first of many engagements. They had won this battle, but the war for the planet was just beginning.

Got mwzgikes depth hound stl. These wardogs are awesome. Can't think of a name to save my life. I do want the pilot to be named Ulysses at least

These guys look pretty cool and im always down for more wardogs. Just dont have any experience with his prints

Wip knight for general viewing pleasure

I know that our current army rule is absolutely abysmal considering that you have to wait for an opponent to be battleshocked in order to get any of our dread abilities.

I also know that even though we are a more melee focused army than our imperial cousins, we have less survivability overall in close engagements

My proposal would be to change deathly terror. Instead of the ability making your opponents leadership worse. It overrides leadership entirely within 9"

What i mean by this is, any unit within the deathly terror ability is battleshocked. I would also change the despair aura from being an aura ability to being battlefield wide for your opponent.

This change would give immediate access to all our other dread abilities as soon as we closed with our opponent. Which would give Merritt to more aggressive playstyles. This would also make melee focused armies a little more weary of charging headlong into our lines.

Thats my personal thoughts. Im not the most experienced player but I feel from the games I played that this would help us without being broken

Third game of 11th down and first win of the edition. Also first time playing against votann. Absolutely loved this army rolled darkness, dismay, and delirium for my dread abilities first round. Both armies did purge and I was rolling HOT! managed to take most of the right side of the table by turn 2. Left side was a slaughter lost 3 wardogs and nearly lost my abominant

Abominant absolutely carried on the far side of the table. Managed to kill almost a full health squad of berzerkers and their leader melee brutalized several other squads with the volkite. Opponent conceeded top of turn 4 when they realized they couldnt score any secondary due to both units being battleshocked and pitched an absolute fit when he couldnt use insane bravery. ( hes terrible to play around, threatened to throw me off a balcony last time we played)

Pics above are from the battle. I made this list with the hope of being ok but not ridiculously competitive. Were trying to stop people from list tailoring at our gym

Hello all! I just got done playing my first game of 11th over the weekend. We also made this the very first game that we decided to try to use secondaries for the group. Overall I had a great time. I love being able to use multiple detachments for a single army. The addition of damned units I to other armies was also super useful

Though I didnt win. I didnt get tabled and the game came down to the wire. I felt that my friend had alot easier time since his secondary was purge the foe while I had recon. Overall, had a ton of fun and cant wait to play again

This was the list I ran against my buddy. I think as of right now this is my favorite list I've ever played

We aren't a super competitive group. But if you have any suggestions for more fun lists for future games. Id love to see them!

Hello again all, ive been having an issue against a friend that has been heavily lost tailoring against me for the last few games. Im hoping this 11th edition list gives me some better viability. Without fail he almost always manages to overwhelm me with tons of intercessors, mephiston and his brutalis dread. The idea with this list is to use my damned/ deamons to force him to split his attention away from my knights while using more shooty knights to whittle down his mobs of intercessors. Additionally, im hoping the beastmen will help me with killing his las snipers that he keeps in his deployment zone.

Any additional suggestions are more than welcome!

Just played my very first game with this boy and ive gotta say, I think that hes way better than people make him out to be.

Before I explain. My current experience with the Moriarty was using the graviton lance and the seige claw.

While I do understand that the ability isnt so great on this guy. Being able to take a loadout that can wound vehicles and infantry on 2+ is absolutely awesome! I played against another ck player and my Moriax managed to take out my opponents huntsman and his brigand. Not to mention it was able to assist in bringing down his desecrator

Maybe its just me. But getting to have a knight that can bring a slaughter claw equivalent, a radcleanser with torrent and anti infantry 2+ and a s7 weapon with blast and anti vehicle 2+ more than makes up for its short comings.

Am I saying im going to replace one of my karnivores in my lineup with the moriax? No.

Am I going to make sure hes included in my beer league houndpack lists going forward? Yes!

Behold, our teams 1k loaner list! Included

1×kharn

2× 10 zerkers squads

1×scrap metal rhino

1x 3 blood crushers

1× wardog huntsman

Not pictured is a $10 first born dread proxying as a hellbrute

I dont know about anybody else, but my group hates nothing more than when they've just managed to kill a karnivore before it gets to attack. Only for said karnivore to wipe the squad with an animalistic rage action followed by a deadly demise. Im still relatively new but that and encircling pack are generally my 2 go to strats. I even managed to take out a land raider with a brigand using animalistic rage.

Wip brigand for attention

Hello again all! This is an updated post to the previous one i made regarding my group a few months ago. Over the last few months we have slowly but surely started making improvements to our games and field layouts. For the most part, we've done a great job of building table layout and using gw terrain layouts. That said, this game was definitely a reality check for one of out members

I had stepped away after we had the mat played out to the proper size, when I came back he had chosen this layout off of one he found from a Google search. When I brought it up to him that I would have a massive middle lane advantage, he said that he was not worried as the landraider and the vindicator would be more than a match for anything I had. He also said he would not be worried about ranged for long.

Flash forward to turn 3. Ive wiped out both his tanks, Stalled his outsiders so that my knights could meet them at full strength, and screened my side of the field to force his deep strikes to land in a disadvantaged position.

Im a much newer player than my opponent. That said, I feel like those who ive played against that run black templars exclusively tend to trust in their ability to overwhelm their opponent in the fight phase. I also think that if my opponent had listened to myself and others he would t have selected a map with such an open mid field.

Any constructive criticism is more than welcome. We both knew what army the other was bringing but not the rosters. I decided on houndpack to take advantage of fight on death and encircling pack.

Special thanks to my desicrator who turn 1 destroyed the enemy land raider and my huntsman who flanked and killed the vindicator

Huntsman for attention

I recently fought against a blood angels army for the first time and was absolutely bodied. I barely managed to kill anything and he tabled me turn 3.
