1st game of championshipin the books, and I got smoked. Faced an eldar gunline with eldrad behind and aegis wall. I knew what to expect playing khorne and all, but it still sucks to get beat like that.
My big beserker squad had like 40 or scatter laser shots aimed at them, so they died by turn 2. My demon prince does take out a wave serpent, but there were so many guided scatter lasers sohe goes down turn 3. Didn't releize eldrad had a 3++ and of course he was fortuned so kharn got punked. I did get a mauler fiend into some walkers so that was nice. My heldrake didn't come in till turn 5, by then it didn't matter. My land raider also lived but what ever, if the drake comes in sooner then I would have fried him off the objectives. But what ever it didn't.
Still got an hour left in the round and im eating lunch so what does that tell ya.

Good luck in the next few rounds Terry! I forget what blog it was, but I saw a picture of you walking around before crowds started to fill in.

2nd game went much better. Played against a dark angels hybrid. Scored a crushing victory. Here is the gist of it...24 besekerkers, kharn and my prince assualt 21 termies,belial, and a ppwerfield libraian that deepstruck behind me. The combat took 3 full rounds cause of that power field giving 4++ to all termies. So I killed those termies and I still had my prince, kharn(with feel no pain) and 8besekers left.
He had the 4pt objective in his deployment and I had a 3pt with my chaos marines. It was hammer and anvil so I hauled ass my drake and demon prince to his objective.
Right now if game ends I lose, lucky duck the game goes to turn 6. Drake and prince take out 10 tac marines and I claim another 3 ptr with besekers and knock him off the 4 pointer.
Crushing victory fo me.
When the prince rreaches combat he is the boss and
kharn was rocking the house also.
Game 3 is the relic and an objective in each quarter against a horde ork army and 3 dakka jets and 15 lootas. I know im screwed here but I work it anyway.
I only have 3 scoring units so I can't sit on objectives against all that firepower. Ohh I forgot he had tau allies with broadsides. I lose my landraider to a questionable line of sight shot,but I give it to him anyway. Lost my prince to the 3 jets. But somehow manage to play keep away with the relic. Those jets put out a crap load of shots on the waagh so iad grab relic and back up.
Tactical draw on game 3. But I did manage to hold the relic.
So right now im 1-1-1. Pretty happy with consisdering I brought an extremely friendly list.
1 more game to go.

Last game of the night against a bllod angels army. He has 3 jump ssquads, 1 tac squad in pod, 2 furiuos's in pods and 2 storm ravens. I don't really have any tur anti air so tnis might suck. 5 objectives but heavys are scoring and count as 2 vp's. I castle castle my land raider with my in between my 3 troop choices. I've alreay decided to let him come to me, i keep my 2 maulerfiends, my prine and of course my drake in reserve. I wanted to at least protect my fiends from all the melta. his 3 pods come down in front of my lines anyway. 2 dreadys on my left and tac squad in front of big beserker squad. His dreadys kill some tac marines, that's about it. My turn I get a mauler fiend and my prince in. I put my mauler fiend to extreme right of my beserker squad knowing they are very fast. Prince goes to my extreme left. I assaual tthe tac squad,champ challenge and wins(by the end this champ would roll on table like 4 times) he makes a huge amount of saves. I fail the other assualt will the 8 man raider squad. The tac squad fire the plasma at one of the dreadys..nothing. kharn leaves the 8 man squad and assualts the other dready andd kills it. Raider hits the other dready with lascannons but fils to ppen. Really didn't have a choice on having kharn assualt cuase im light on antitiank. Fast forward a bit... I lose the tac squad, demon prince gets lit up by storm raven and jump squad with melta. 2 more jump squads join the big fray with the big beserker squad. Drake fails to come on till turn 5 again. Both maulerfiends in combat now with the big squad against 2 jump squads and remainder of tac squad. Eventually I do lose the big squad but maulerfiends continue to rape him in closr combat and he flees with 2 assualt marines remaing. But he immolbizes 1 fiend with kraks. Right nnow I have 1 maulerfiend, 1 immoblized mauler fiend and my drake. He has both storm ravens a full jump squad and 2 other jump marines. My drake comes in and and vector strikes a storm raven and pens it 3 times,kills it then baleflames the full jump squad down to 5 marines. Nice drake, if this comes in a couple of turns earlier I win this game. As it was I just made this a close game just like that. he got 1 storm raven, 5 jump marines, 2 jump marines. I got my drake and 1 live maulerfiend(heavies score), and 1 immbolized one. I drop my drake to hover mode(yes they can hover too) fry 3 more marines and advance my maulerfiend onto an objective. His last turn the storm raven unloads on the drake and kills it and the the 2 man squaad meltas the live fiend. We both practically table each other... he has 4 marines and a storm raven left and I have an immbolized maulerfiend. We end up tieing on kill ponts but he has 1 objective, so he he gets a crushing victory?  ? Oh well that's the way its scored. Looking back I completly forgot about the drop pods for kill points. Oh well... Overall I had fun, I feel I held my own with an assualt army and only 1 drake. Got the "friendly" today and the team tourney with a team that was put together 2 weeks ago. . |
