Behemoth is pretty good

[grave77digger]

Just nearly tabled a Leviathan army with my Behemoth at the bottom of T3. Deep struck a flyrant, ravener, trygon, and mawloc T2. Failed 4 out of 6 charges with rerolls but my hormies were able to pile in into 3 shooting units to force them to fall back in T3 giving my deep strikers more time to charge next turn. T3 Walkrant with shardgullet picks up the exocrine, Trygon kill his flyrant, Flyrant with reaper deals 20 wounds to his warriors to wipe, Trygon also killed his Tfex T2 and overran back to protect our tervigon. Rerolling charges and auto wounding on 6 with toxin sacs is amazing. Even gaunts got 4 wounds through on his flyrant.

That's impressive. How did you cause 20 wounds on Leviathan Warriors, with only 5 attacks from a reaper tyrant? Assuming 5 hits, that gets 2/3 wounds. Should be causing 9 damage, plus another 3 wounds from mortal wounds, and another 1 with the talons. That should be 13 damage, if you had expoding 6s you could get another hit but you'd still be wounding on 4s

Maybe you had adrenal glands and used the strat to get D3 extra attacks? Rolling a 3 would likely get you another 2 wounds, that's 6 wounds with 2 mortals. That would just about do it.

Average rolls should have the exocrine survive too with 5 wounds left too.

What am I missing here or were you just very lucky?

5 attacks with 3D each is 15 damage, each one then sending out a MW for 20 damage.

Reroll wounds vs exo should be enough to wound 4 times, fail 3 and +4mw is 13w. probaly plinked already

I think obsidianaura meant that the warriors are on -1 dmg.

In that case wounding them on a 4+, even if you re roll to wound it is quite hard to kill more than 3 of them.

[obsidianaura]

Not sure about the -1 damage, that'd be a strat, but even with rerolls to wound you should really only wound 3-4 times. That's still only 15 damage. The only way to get 20 damage is to hit with every attack and wound with every wound on rolls of 2+ then 4+

The exocrine was killed with Shardgullet. Assuming 3 hit only 2 should wound, doing 10 damage.

To be fair, Grave77digger didn't mention it was an average roll or not. So it's still possible to reach 20 wounds. Just unlikely statistically speaking. But still possible.

[Bohxim]

Could also have been across the 3 turns.

[grave77digger]

So that games was Thursday and my memory of it is getting foggy. He absolutely did 20 wounds with mortals and your forgetting the foot claw attack. Rolling 2s and 4s isn’t that hard.

I also played another game today against behemoth and tabled that guy as well. It was an even match up but I went first and killed his 3 neuros with my flyrant, i think toxin sacs a re highly underrated. I realize not everyone plays power level and they are pricey if you play point but still worth it.

How do warriors get -1 damage?

5 M. Bone Sword attacks wounding on 6s to hit with toxin sacs
2 Tyrant talon Attacks wounding on 6s to hit

Rolled some 6s. Everything wounded
Not an average roll at all.

They have a strat for -1d in any phase

I think we both over looked that
