Multi-Assaulting Scarabs wreck a Deadnaught

This came up in a game against "The Kid"

He had a Melta Dread right next to a unit of 10 tactical marines, so my 10 scarabs assaulted both "units".

I got 6 bases in with the Dread, 4 on the marines.

Dread went first, killed two bases (I took out two that were on marines). The marines did 7 wounds, I made 2 saves (took off one more base against the marines, and two wounds on another. Right now, I'm down by 11 wounds.

The six scarabs get their swanky 30 attacks. I get 21 hits, and entropic strike takes out the dreadnaught. (so... no combat result? that's the question :-) The remaining base, luckily, takes out a marine. I have to make 10 fearless armour saves. Even though I wrecked the Dread, I didn't think that would count towards combat resolution, as it got wrecked before I could glance or pen it.

Did I do this right? I think I did (besides, I wanted to give "The Kid" the benefit of the doubt).

"The Kid" went on to win the game :-)

(Scarabs are amazing, Landraider and Dreadnought dead and a tac squad tied up for the low low price of 150pts)

However i dont know how ES works, so maybe u did do ut right.

I think I got it right :-) As the dreadnaught is wrecked by ES before I get a chance to pen or glance. :-)

Technically you are correct. The best kind of correct.
