Mayhem Pack Formation

On Sunday, Dallas and I had a throwdown.

I played a slight variation on the list I posted in Army Lists with the Mayhem pack.

Dallas played Serpent Spam, which was a horrendous matchup for what I had taken.

Now, the rest of my Army fell apart, but the Helbrutes themselves did rather well.

Two of them more than made their points back, while one nearly did.

Loadouts:
Plain MM & Fist
Twin Las and Scourge
Double Fist, Double Flamer

I had gotten Fire Frenzy a bunch, which was handy when downing wave serpents. I missed the one that mattered though (which could've won me the game! (The one with the Wraith Blades, Dallas). I got Rage & Fleet once, which was helpful in crushing some dudes as well.

Power Scourge is super cool. Dropping a dude down from WS 5 to 4 or 3 is very helpful.

Things I've noticed playing AV12 walkers.

AV 12 is not super resilient in close combat. I had to watch and hope for low rolls on Witchblades. // In a regular game against Matt this weekend, it was Krak Grenades. In your mind, when you think about that combat, it's all, "Hey, he needs a 6 to glance, who cares!" well, when you get 10 attacks and you have no recourse to that 6 to glance... it's kinda scary.

Did you remember your iwnd rolls? I always forget.

Don't feel bad. Serpents iz dumb.

Yes I did.

I failed IWND rolls all game. Upwards of 4+ a turn. Had I made a couple of key ones, the game would've been wildly different.

Also, I'm not sure I played my Deepstrike right. If a Helbrute lands in a forest... does anybody hear? ... kidding aside, I rolled dangerous terrain, then rolled a "1" and took a hullpoint, but didn't immobilize. We didn't bother looking it up at the time, I figured "it's a walker, not a vehicle"

And you scoffed at me charging in with that guardian squad =p

He killed 5 with overwatch and, what 9, in the explosion?

6 with the flamers, 5 in overwatch and like 5 with the explosion haha stupid heavy weapon platforms

Dallas, I cheeted.

The one Helbrute should've been immobilized.

Update:

A few more games in. Playable, but not over-the-top.
