DoA Mk. II Play Testing

Right, so i have been practicing away with my DoA list with every chance I can get now, between learning to place Devastators properly, getting a good spread of FnP and learning what units of mine can take others.

My list is:

Mephiston
Honour Guard w/ Jump Packs, 4 Plasma Guns
2 Sanguinary Priests w/ 1 Jump Pack
10 Man Assault Squad w/ Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
10 Man Assault Squad w/ Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
5 Man Scout Squad w/ Camo Cloaks, Sniper Rifles
5 Man Vanguard Squad w/ 2 Melta Bombs, Power Weapon, Power Fist
5 Man Devastator Squad w/ 4 Missile Launchers
5 Man Devastator Squad w/ 4 Missile Launchers
5 Man Devastator Squad w/ 4 Missile Launchers


So far I have played three games which have resulted in 3 Wins. Admittedly these had a primary objective of Kill Points but these were randomly rolled for, two of which were Conspiracy (TOWNCON!) missions.

First game was against Hugh "Black Templars!!!!" Murphy who's list was:

Emperors Champion, Suffer not the Witch (I think)
5 Terminators w/ Tank Hunters, 2 Cyclone Launchers, 2 Chainfists

5 Terminators w/ Tank Hunters, 2 Cyclone Launchers, 2 Chainfists
5 Initiates w/ Lascannon, Plasma Gun
5 Initiates w/ Lascannon, Plasma Gun
5 Initiates w/ Plasma Cannon, Plasma Gun
Predator w/ Lascannon Sponsons, Smokes, Extra Armour
Predator w/ Lascannon Sponsons, Smokes
2 Land Speeders w/ Typhoons
2 Land Speeders w/ Typhoons
3 Land Speeders w/ Typhoons, 2 Multi-Melta's

Ended up 8-7 to me in Kill Points and a 15-5

Next up was Ivan Sheehan and his "Grey Guard". We played 2 games, one today and one last week. 

His list is: 

Inquisitor w/ Rad Grenades, Hammer Hand
Inquisitor w/ Rad Grenades, Hammer Hand
5 Purifiers w/ 2 Psycannons, Demon Hammer, Razorback, Psybolts, Dozer Blade
5 Purifiers w/ 2 Psycannons, Demon Hammer, Razorback, Psybolts, Dozer Blade
Vindicare Assassin
5 Grey Knights w/ Psycannon, Razorback, Psybolts, Dozer Blade
5 Grey Knights w/ Psycannon, Razorback, Psybolts, Dozer Blade
5 Grey Knights w/ Psycannon, Razorback, Psybolts, Dozer Blade
5 Grey Knights w/ Psycannon, Razorback, Psybolts, Dozer Blade
Dreadnought w/ 2 x Auto Cannons, Psybolts
Dreadnought w/ 2 x Auto Cannons, Psybolts
Dreadnought w/ 2 x Auto Cannons, Psybolts


So the first game we played was Spearhead, Annihilation, Capture and Control. I won Primary and drew on secondary, no difference in VP's. 14-6  Win to me.

The second game we played was Dawn of War, Annihilation, Seize Ground ( 3 Objectives with set placement). I won Primary, lost secondary, no difference in VP's. 12-8 Win to me.

So that's 3 for 3 so far. Going well.

  1. Hey man, good write ups, just wondering what you do with Meph in the list? Does he pull his weight since he can't DS?

  2. Meph is the main combat unit in this list. I i now tend to deploy everything on the board he almost always has a cover save. In most games he works but in some he doesn't. In the first game against the grey knights he killed a purifier squad, an inquisitor and a strike squad. In the second game all he killed was 4 purifiers. In the BT game he took 3 wounds in the first turn. 2 From the opponent and 1 from perils on Wings. He then went on to only kill a landspeeder and 3 terminators.
