After an annoying few defeats today, one inculding a drop hack i thought i was boned from the start when the lucky dip pulled out Necrons.
So i went away swinging and started with a double tac squad instead of my usual FC.
Three scouts went nuts and well i had a field day.

Enjoy.

Match overview

Fata Morga is a place for the dead. A place where the dead do not want to be disturbed. Even though a large army of necrons was sleeping in peace, they were once again awakened by the intrucion of the Space Marines. Necron Lord Spirit would this time face off against the Space Marine battle commander Praxisscream.

Lord Spirit was a bit slow on the start getting fired his monolith fired up, but when it was he qeued up: Scarab, scarab, the necron lord himself, scarab, scarab and a heck load of necron warriors. He began immediatly to eco boom getting 7 generators in matter of minuts.
Battle Commander Praxisscream went for a lot more agressive build order: servitor, scout, scout, scout. His servitor started building a chapel barrack so he soon would be able to build his army of superhumans, and a plasma generator to support his soon to come army.

Praxxisscream started off with a very agressive cap-order and got lp2 on some of the most forward points, he pretty much gets controll of the whole map giving him a superb start. Because of Spirits slow start he is doomed to fight hard for every single inch.
The space marine superior economy and ressource management does fast come to light and a fast tech to t2 gives him a huge advantage army-wise. There is one battle in the middle which the Necron lord looses and dies. The space marine with the superior tech and army pushes the necrons back and begins soon to destroy the necron buildings.
Meanwhile Spirit has in secretly positioned a new monolith in hope of making a new army. The space marine soons find out about this and the battle is short. The necron has been taken down with impressive skill shown from the superhumans.

Praxisscream
Well done winning against necrons! I don't want to dissapoint you, but you were clearly a lot more experienced, skilled and faster than your opponent. Don't let this get to your head though, you made a lot of mistakes. Concidering you had controll of almost the whole map, you didn't build lp's on half of them! Shame on you! Whenever you get the chance you must ALWAYS build lp's on strategic points. This is not to discussion. Besides that, you actually did well. Maybe because of the lack of a strong opponent? It was a good agressiev capping order which I was impressed by. One the best known anti nec strats is to go double asm squad and go scarab hunting.
  1. tip 1: Your macro was great at the start but you began soon to slagger it off at the end(big floats), there is always something you can use your power and requisition on and globals is a good way to spend it
  2. tip 2: Once you began fleeing when one wrath attacked your two space marines squads. You should have kept fighting it, you would have won.
  3. tip 3: You did good use of the rhino and your army and had overall good micro and macro at the start.

I am not worried to say that you were against an opponent who had much more battle experience than you had. It was simply a way to big mouthfull for you. I will point out some of the main things for you, and there is quiet a deal so please don't get dissapointed.
You didn't use waypoints, they are good timesavers so your units won't be standing immobile at times. Always reinforce scarabs to the max. Don't save ressources, you wan't to use it as fast as posible. You could have build wraths or flayed ones a lot eariler, they would have helped you so much against the space marine army. Once you had a float of more than 1k, thats simply not allowed in any compettive match.
What i did like of your gameplay was your build order, it's pretty neat and what i was for sure most impressed by was your battle spirit, you kept going untill the end! Huge credit for that. And you did try to harrass with your necron lord though not with much success.

That's one thing i need to do, make sergeants.
And yeah i knew i was floating sometimes, but then again i dp get drawn into fighting a little too much tongue.gif

Thanks for the review Mikker thum.gif
The aggressive capping order was done on the fly, crons are slow so i just sent lots of stuff down the middle then branched off down the sides.

Yes not bad Mikka

Although I think next time you should make sure you hear a response from me b4 you start reviewing as i did tag it. I don't get online all the time so I can't check it right away and i usually do my reviews offline on Microsoft Works b4 i post em here since that saves me a lot of hours on my crappy internet XD.

I'll post my review anyways (yes i did do it tongue.gif), just make sure you wait for the RR next time Mikka cuz I would have let you wink.gif

Good job anyways since you did cover some things I didn't, im not the "most" skilled with these races but i still should have seen a few things you did. biggrin.gif
