Blood Claws VS Plague Daemons!

Some of the aftermath of the first battle.
Klargence was shamed for his boastful ways and not being able to back them up. Like he has in the past, he went full lone wolf mode. (I based this character off a friend, and he would do stuff like this. In the past when called out on something he cant back up, he just does his own thing until he forgets (so like a day). Rignus, having enjoyed himself, was allowed to lead the blood claws again.

The points are smaller, the force org is out the window and the daemons are in favor. Here are the lists!

Daemons
Herald of Nurgle, ML1, locust of FnP
12 plague bearers
2 beasts of nurgle.

SW
Rignus, Wolf guard with mark of the wulfen.
9 blood claws - power sword, plasma pistol and melta gun.

Klargence, lone wolf in TDA with dual wolf claws (they say he never took his armor off, he just sulked around until the next drop)

Due to the strange force org and points (and me being forgetful) I decided against warlord traits. Just for reference, warp storm did nothing at all.

Deployment
Very similar to the previous tactics. Rignus and blood claws to the left, Klargence to the right.
On the daemon side, Plague bearers and herald opposite of blood claws, beasts eying up klargence.
Nurgle is generous, his herald gains the power of plague wind. (designer note: shit).

Right out of the gate, bolt pistols are fired and a single plague bearer dies, Rignus showing the blood claws how it is done. He holds his unit back, knowing that assauling plaguebearers could be a poor tactic, and that Heralds are known to have horrible close range powers.

The beasts crash into Klargence. To save us some time, there is a whirlwind of slobbery beast on lone wolf action. Klargence takes a wound, his eyes bulge and he yells "Not this time!" as he fights on with the rage of the canis helix. His wounds and daemonic instablity destroy both beasts, however he is locked in CC with them for almost the entire battle.

The herald of nurgle manages to unleash the plague wind, only barely in range, and it scatters, to perfectly land on 4 blood claws and Rignus. The winds had no affect on Rignus, before he could boast about the smell of nurgle paling to the smell of a fenrisian mammoth, he noticed 4 of his unit had fallen. Vegar, Knud, Knut, and Regin all fell to the ground, coughing a black mucous into the dirt. They had been robbed of a chance to prove their might, this was no way to do battle.

The herald grinned, burped, and then his unit made a charge that even slaanesh seekers would be jealous of. In the first round of combat, Rignus fell to the herald of nurgle, though only after placing a wound on him. The blood claws were horribly outnumbered. Hafgrim was fighting off 3 plaguebearers, Fafner fighting 4, Kari2, Ketil 1 and Garin 1. After felling Rignus, the Herald went from blood claw to blood claw, tearing them down. Garin was the first to fall, overwhelmed by the herald and a plaguebearer. Fafner Fought off 4 plaguebearers, as did Hafgrim, who was able to kill one. Ketil was able to kill a plaguebearer, then only defend against the herald for 2 phases of combat, overwhelmed by the power of nurgle. The herald was able to push through Ketil's defences, and he fell. Fafnir fell to the 4 plaguebearers he was fighting, while Hafgrim brought another down. Kari was also able to kill 2 plaguebearers, but then was quickly overwhelmed by the herald. Combat went on, until it was Hafgrim fighting against the herald and a plaguebearer, with Klargence failing a 4 inch charge. (Luckily no one saw it). The following round, Klargence was able to assault and tore the herald in half, while Hafgrim killed the last plaguebearer.

Hafgrim did well in the first match, and exceptional in the second. Ketil was able to hold the herald off for a few rounds, which is a feat in its own. Daemonic instability was of help to the wolves, but only barely. Losing so many to the putrid plague winds was harsh.

The next match will be against necrons. Another slow and hard to kill opponent. The list will almost mirror the daemon list!

Necrons will have a buffed up overlord with res orb, phylactery, warscythe and warrior unit. They will be accompanied by a nice bundle of scarabs.

Space Wolves will be lead by Ragnis, who will be acting as a wolf guard battle leader with mark of the wulfen, leading the blood claws and accompanied by an ancient. One of the dreadnoughts will watch the blood claws to see any potential.
