Lunchbreak 250: Typhus vs Valiant

Scrimmaging the Plague Lord Typhus versus an Imperial Dreadnought and Tac Squad friends. 250 pts, no force org, 2x2 board, fair amount of terrain. Two/three quick games crammed in.

Lessons

Typhus seemed to struggle a bit here. The storm bolters on the dread could definitely damage him, and the multi-melta insta-kill. Getting into close combat didn't seem any better either, as there was no way we could determine for the good lord to actually kill the dreadnought. He could whittle away at him, immobilizing, destroying weapons, etc, but never get the actually kill, and probably die in the process. This "problem" has come up before, with Angholan and Tac Squads facing off against rampaging berzerker dreadnoughts. In a larger game you would hope a Devastator/Havoc or other heavy support unit would be around to manage the threat, but that might not always be the case. It's also not clear how to defeat dreads at all in very low point value games such as Lunchhammer sessions...
