space marine vs necron on Fallen City

Before you watch this, keep one thing in mind: I am by no means trying to show off my skills by beating this guy. This is a rep purely for your personal amusement, and it may shock you.

Here is my tagline for this replay: these are the sorts of people that play Cron.

NightRapier vs PandemoniumXY
chaos vs chaos on Quests Triumph

This is my fourth game online as Chaos, and my second making an attempt to play them old school. Or more correctly, how they should be able to be played; with Marines making up your Tier 2 force instead of LOL MASS ZERKS after deleting your Tier 1 units.

Alright, as the game started I thought I was playing IG, so I smacked in the wrong combination of hotkeys and ended up achieving nothing. This means I had a slow start. He went 3 Cult Raptor, I was going to do that but I got confused during the aforementioned IG fiasco and decided I might as well try 2. So I got 2 Cult Raptor, later to be followed by 2 CSM squads since the CL reminds me too much of the FC.

My 2 CSM squads take a hammering from his single Rap squad because I can't micro and I misjudged the resilience of CSM in CC with Raps. I almost lose both my Cultist squads, he suicides one of his, he takes my far point and I take his. His plan was obviously to quicktech Tier 2, except my killing all his cappers and taking map control throws a spanner in the works and he builds a 2nd Raptor squad and heavily reinforces his first one.

As he goes Tier 2, a minor base trade occurs and he comes off rather more beat up than I. His Raptors fly to his base's defence, and its delicious pathing shows me that it is still capable of its usual tricks. One of my squads gets catastrophically stuck on one of my LP's and I lose all but one of its members. Meanwhile his Zerks are tearing apart everything they go past. I was quite annoyed at this point, since Grenades weren't working as I would have liked, pathing was causing immense unnecessary casualties, and CSM have no Tier 2 weapons but HB's which would have been of little use. He begins his Tech to Tier 3 as I finally whittle down his army. He then drops.

I posted this to draw attention to how pathetic Chaos race design is in that each Tier, all of the previous Tier's units essentially become obsolete and are replaced by new ones. Chaos isn't the only race with this problem, and it is an old problem, but I'm looking forward to Soulstorm just to see if this sort of thing is fixed. CSM's aren't fantastic in Tier 2 and are still nothing special in Tier 3. Raptors are completely useless apart from their jump packs. Chaos Tier 2 basically involves getting out a Sorceror and a couple of Zerk squads, then teching to Tier 3, EVERY TIME, and it fails.

Looks like Guard rush still works now and then, thought it is nowhere near the lofty heights of WA 1.0.

guard-guard-eldar vs tau-space marine-tau on Kasyr Lutien

This is some goddamn epic hilarity right here. I would be about the equivalent of a 1200 automatch player right now, seeing as how it's been an age since I have played DC online and even longer since I was any good.

Quickstart. Kasyr Lutien. The average QS game. I looked for a game titled "3v3 QS Pro's only", but to no avail, so this had to do.

Watch. Enjoy. Laugh. This is definitive proof that QS players do not have a clue, and even the WORST of standard players can slap around QS players like little girls.

sR|Auzzie vs sR|Centurion
chaos vs space marine on Battle Marshes

Here's the third of a few games I had with clanmate Auzzie. In this one, we see Scouts and Tacs take map control against Rap harass eco boom. Mass Tacs go on the offense, but chains cause heavy casulties. LS pops out, but is pushed back by horrors. I hit Tier 3 and pop out the imba Whirlwind, and with his Tier 3 coming shortly after it's on for young and old. Imba WW does it's job though, and the game ends with an attempted base trade. 20 minute game.

GG Auzzie, thanks for the games.

space marine vs chaos on Blood River

I'm submitting this rep for the hilarity of my attempts at playing. My first big mistake was forgetting Tier 2, and getting it about 2-3 minutes after him. My second mistake was not building an Armory when I needed it. He hit Tier 3 well before me, and even though my eco was gigantic by then, I was still scared for a second. I have an irrational fear of Chaos Tier 3.

space marine vs tau on Outer Reaches

Here's a game on OR vs Tau, first one where I've been taken completely off guard by a Vespid harass. I kept forgetting to delete my LP's which cost me a good 200 req in the first few minutes, setting my eco back and throwing my anti-Tau build off.

Still, I managed to grind down his harassing Kroot and Vespids with my ASM, and used Scouts and Probes to take control and make building or capping anywhere on the map difficult for him while I moved onto Tier 2.

space marine vs space marine on Meeting of Minds

First hardcore abuser I've played in auto so far. The guy was polite though, which gets him brownie points in my book.

Anyway, SM mirror on MoM. I decided not to do anything tricky and just play an adaptable build in case he did all-out Scout spam or LS tech. He chose the latter. His eco got bitchslapped, but unfortunately the Speeder spam started before I hit Tier 2 and I was in trouble for a minute. But it seems that Tac rockets have a use now and then, and here they shined, though they sure as hell weren't cost effective.

Anyway, gg mate. SM mirrors on MoM bore me to hell, but this one was interesting.

NightRapier vs Daemoniac
space marine vs chaos on Battle Marshes

Heavy Weapons are hardly worth it in a few SM matchups. You're betting off using the ridiculous price of fully equipping tacs with HW's and just using nades and Chappy to buy time, and save money, for the Tier 3 stuff.

Didn't even build Chappy this game though, because Chaos harass left my eco pretty poor and I thought Frags could handle it anyway.

Tafla vs NightRapier
space marine vs space marine on Blood River

Here's a game that's been different from most DC games so far. We both tech pretty fast (no surprise there), but he techs faster and comes out with Bionics+GK's and Speeders well before I do. I don't have time to build an armory, so I simply take Marines and heroes and charge like an overeager Ork player.

No HW's or upgrades on my Marines, and they performed admirably. I think skipping heavy weapons is an option now in SM mirrors. Definitely a nice change of pace. Also encourages aggressive play, which is also a nice change from the DC techfest.

Oh and thanks to this guy for being the guy with the best manners I've met so far. We even had a little idle chit chat at the start, which is pretty much unheard of.

NightRapier vs excellione
space marine vs tau on Meeting of Minds

Here's an odd game vs damn Tau that could've gone either way. He had such an odd choice of units but it completely surprised how effective it was, though I think he would've done better with a Skyray or something.

I targeted Stealth Suits as they seem to be pretty much Tau's only weakness (not much of a weakness ofc), and this game could easily have gone his way. Obviously my anti-Tau, developed over a couple of customs last night, still needs work.

And watch the Tau Commander. He is pure rape.

CgS|Centurion vs oF|magen
necron vs necron on Fallen City

Here it is: my first automatch since 1.5 WA, and my second online game of DC. I was very worried that my imba Necrons would mean I couldn't savour any wins I might get, but lo and behold, I got myself a Necron mirror! I thought he was Chaos going into the game. The loading screen is so new to me I didn't even check his race!

Now, Necrons are new enough to me as it is, let alone a Necron mirror. This was well and truly wierd, and I was not pleased with how easy it was for my opponent to spam Flayed Ones. Still, my imba warriors and the use of many a Necron trick kept the game going, that is, a go-for-broke Monolith hunting fest. After it was all over, I decided it had been fun. Hoorah!

PS. I can only imagine what sort of noob he thought I was when he saw no big gen on my side. I kind of forgot that Necrons really need power, and there was a nearby slag...Yeah I'm new....

CgS|Horus vs CgS|Centurion
ork vs space marine on Meeting of Minds

Right, here's a wierd game. As soon as the game started, I thought "screw it, I'm gonna try a big gen build with SM!". Building 3 servs was abit silly, but it didn't turn out too bad as it gave me a huge eco. Basically I sit in my base and fend off harasses until Tier 2, then Horus begins the mandatory Trukk spam and I lose a big army by not paying attention.

At this, I start paying attention and I put Dreads, Probes, Marines and Plasma on overwatch, and started building a Chaplain, and then held on for dear life. The ending was a little anti-climactic, but hey, you can't have it all.

Poor Horus left 6 Trukks in his base at the end, probably would've won otherwise sad.gif

GG, it seems even I get lucky now and then.

Check this crap out! Biggest noobathon ever. Kasyr 3v3, not QS but still snoresville. I'm on 56k and still found time to browse Sanc while playing this game. And even when I was playing, I spent more time watching Killer and Ravens than actually playing. It wasn't QS, but it was still mindless. It was awesome! biggrin.gif

Anyway, see if you can find where I actually start playing tongue.gif

This is the second of some 2v2's clan CgS had. Because we're such a great clan with such great community spirit that anyone in their right mind with the right skills would want to be a part of, the games were wierd and fun.

On this one we discovered that the map sucks, but my past experience with no rush 15 mins on SC gave me an advantage lipssealed.gif

space marine vs space marine on Outer Reaches

During this game you will see two things: The FC is useless, and tacs are awesome. When tacs are nerfed in the future, make sure you buff the FC. Only the FC could have flopped around as impotently as he did here. Any other hero would've been useful here.

NightRapier vs WNxMagpie
space marine vs space marine on Battle Marshes

I noticed the replays were abit low, so I searched for one I could post and found this one. This game was pretty recent, and it was my second auto this patch, my first using tac mass. I wanted to see what the fuss with tac mass was about so I borrowed an imba strat and got to work.

This game was actually rather close, I had lost it at the start but a mixture of Scouts and luck helped even things out.

Why was it so close with my imba tac mass? Because my opponent was planning to do the same thing! Tac mass apparently is all SM players do now. My game after this was exactly the same iirc.

sCa|killer-c vs NightRapier
chaos vs space marine on Blood River

Probably one of the first good games I've had this patch vs a good player. I was kinda making things up as I went due to only about 6 games under my belt this patch. Killer is finding it hard to adjust to the new Chaos, which to me seems a little UP.

CSM's are good now, but not as good as tacs. Tier 1.5 isn't real scary with an ASM squad in hand, and Tier 2 Chaos is completely limp vs SM until vehicles, which aren't overly potent anyway if Probes are used.

Chaos is UP? I think so.
