I'm at a different store than all you guys, but i'll tell you how mine went 
1st - drop podding iron hands list
2nd - eldrad / avatar horde eldar
3rd - blood angels
I'd like to open by saying I should have been second. Here are how my matches went.
match 1: Played against 4 land raider chaos player... 14 terminators + abaddon, 4 land raiders, and change. immobilized his raiders quickly, then moved in and slaughtered him. I didn't loose a single unit, ended with 2 objectives and he had none. massacre victory for me. @ 22 points so far
match 2: Played horde orks... in the killpoints mission. He went first, set up 60 orks + ghaz on the 24" line. i held everything in reserve. he moved his front line up 10" his first turn... I moved on from the edge, and hit him with everything I had. annihilated all 60 orks and ghaz in a single turn.... after that it was mass carnage. he managed to limit me to a minor victory, just because he had so few killpoints in his army. @ 37 points now.
match 3: Played against a fateweaver + skarbrand daemons list. he had 16(!) bloodcrushers.... he dropped in fateweaver, skarbrand, 3 princes and a unit of 8 bloodcrushers his first turn(he went second). I opened up with everything, and managed to kill skarbrand with 20 tacticals that came in from reserves rapid firing, and killed a daemon prince. I tied up his bloodcrushers with venerable dreadnoughts, and took down the rest of his princes with land raider lascannons. his crushers were solidly contesting one of the two objectives, so I moved for the other. bottom of turn 6, I had an 8 man unit of grey knights attack his only scoring unit left, a unit of 5 plague bearers on the other objective. killed 2 with shooting. killed NONE in the assault. his turn, I managed to again kill NOTHING with my 8 knights. I should have killed that unit twice over... but he made all his invulnerable saves from my justicar, and I made no wounds with the other knights in the squad. so the game ended as a draw instead of the major victory it should have been, which was knocked down to a minor victory for him, because he killed more of my units than I killed of his (d**n rhinos). this knocked me out of the running for top3, and I finished with 44 points. I would have had 55 had I killed those 3 plaguebearers, which would have put me in 2nd.
my list, if anyone cares, was:
Lysander
5 assault terminators
w/ dedicated land raider (multimelta)
Venerable dreadnought w/ plasma cannon
Venerable dreadnought w/ assault cannon
8 grey knights (psycannon + incinerator)
8 grey knights (psycannon + incinerator)
10 tac marines (flamer, plasma cannon, combi-flamer)
dedicated rhino
10 tac marines (melta, multi-melta, combi-melta)
dedicated rhino
Heavy- Land raider w/ multi-melta
Heavy- Land raider w/ multi-melta
the knights used the two heavy land raiders.
