Well, let me preface by saying I missed the first round by an unfortunate accident causing me to take my dog to the animal hospital all morning, and I am thankful he is alive (he was hit by a car). So, I started the tourny without a chance to win since I got 0 points for round one. But I played for fun anyways.

Orks:
War boss with 7 nob bikers, couple claws, and some toher upgrades to make them all different somehow, had feel no pain as well
3 Trucks with 12 boys each (I think 2 were shoota boys)
20 some grots
2 squads of 5 lootas
Spearhead with 5 objectives. Primary was objectives, secondary was kill most expensive unit, and keep your most expensive unit alive.
I won roll and decided to go second, spearhead makes it far enough he cant shoot most of me.
Orks 1:
He set up his grots on an objective, one loota squad way at the back, another right on the middle line. He had his bikers off to the side to flank, and his 3 trucks were fronting down the center. He drives his 2 trucks forward and veers the other off in the direction of my scorpions. His bikers head around some terrain. All his shooting is focused on my scorpions and he kills 4.
Eldar 1:
I set up in a turtle formation, with the prisms at the back. I infiltrate my scorpions off to the far left 18" away from his grots, which in heinsight wasnt the greatest idea. I guide the falcon and prism, and decide I wont flat out the fire dragons so I wont fortune them. I move the fire dragons the full 12" forward. Everything else only moves 6". I unload on his left truck exploding it, but he rolls a 5 on the ork damage table so no casualties. I also manage to imbolize and destroy the weapon on the other truck making it useless. I put one wound on the biker squad.
Orks 2:
Nob bikers continue to move in flank formation. The far left orks get out of there truck and head for the objective. More shooting at my scorpions has the remaining 4 killed off. Rest of his shooting is ineffective on my tanks.
Eldar 2:
Fire dragons head towards nobs and unload. Continue to move forward 6" with most tanks to be able fire all weapons. Most of my shooting was on his nobs, and I forgot about the instant death rule counting for the regular armor value not the bike value, so my pulse laser and all my fire dragon shots didnt count towards instant death when they should have (and would have probably wiped his unit). Anyways, my fault so we continued on. I unload some pie plates on his boys and do some damage to both units near the center of the board.
Orks 3:
His Nobs obliterate my fire dragons. He moves his empty truck (the only one still working) towards my transports but his BS2 missile launcher is ineffecitve. His Lootas pull of some mighty fine shooting and imbolize and destroy the pulse laser on my falcon (even with
HF....rolled two 6's on a glancing hit on damage table).
Eldar 3:
I high tail my empty fire dragon serpent out of there. Seeing how its turn 3 I setup my plan to grab objectives and contest the rest by atleast turn 5. So everything starts to really move now. I continue to unload shots from everything, putting wounds on every model in the nob bikers and kill a few. Halving most of his ork boys squads.
OH BUT WAIITTTT.........T/O comes over and says thats it games over.
WTF? were on turn 3. How about a warning next time.....game wasnt even an hour long.
So I lose 2 objectives to 1. I would have liked to played atleast 5 turns and had a more fair result. Even if they had mentioned a time limit before hand. Oh well.
Game 2
Chaos Vs Eldar
Same Eldar list
Chaos:
2x Demon Princes, wings
2x Land Raiders with lascannons, possessed, One had 10 thousand sounds, the other had 10 bezerkers
5 Havocs with 2 heavy bolters
Pitched battle, capture and control. I won the roll again, and decide to go first since I want to shoot his army to death. Primary is objectives, secondary is kill most expensive unit again, but also to kill ALL non scoring units (basically table your opponent)
Eldar 1:
I deploy everything behind a building kind of, except one fire prism is way off in a corner to gain
LOS to whatever may appear over there since his objective was on that corner. I infiltrate scorpions 12" out of
LOS in a building infront of his havocs. I divination a bunch of my tanks to respond to his setup. I fortune and then flatout my fire dragons. Scorpions move up in the building. Most of my shooting didnt do much turn 1, I shot a couple havocs I think.
Chaos 1:
He suffers perils right off the bat with one prince. His
LR moves into
LOS of my far fire prism and blows the cannon off in first shot. Tries to assault my fire dragon serpent with prince but fails to roll any 6s.
Eldar 2: Fire dragons get out and melt the
LR easily exploding it and taking 2 deaths along the way themselves. I think I killed 1 or 2 thousands sons as well. Scorpions assault and murder the havocs in first round of assault. The rest of my shooting was on the wounded prince adding another wound. I attempted to ram the
LR that blew off my cannon but I was a few inches short which sucked since it would have been S10
lol.
Chaos 2: His unwounded prince heads towards my scorpions. His thousand sons unload on my fire dragons killing all but the exarch. His wounded prince and
LR with bezerkers head towards my lines. His prince anhilates the scorps in combat and they dont hurt it.
Eldar 3:
I focus a lot of shooting on the thousand sons since its his most expensive unit, they take some casualties. I put another wound on the closing in demon prince. I fail to hurt the
LR with my prism, I kept rolling 2 on the damage chart and possessed ignores those results.
Chaos 3:
His unwounded prince heads towards my lines with his other prince and
LR. I dont believe his shooting (very limited only the
LR really) did anything. Short turn.
Eldar 4: I finish off the wounded prince. I continue to shoot the thousands sons, there down to about 4 guys now.
Chaos 4:
His unwounded prince makes it into assault with my falcon but doesnt manage to hurt it due to holofields. He really doesnt have much left at this point.
Eldar 5:
I manage to kill his other prince off, I believe it may have had a wound from a previous round, either way it died in turn 5. All thats left is his couple
TS and the
LR with zerkers. I move my falcon to grab his objective.
Chaos 5:
His
LR gets imbolised by a tree (
LOL) trying to attack my falcon. His zerkers unload and fail to hurt it even with some 30 attacks at S5....needed 6's to hit, and
HF really hurt him on damage table.
Eldar 6:
I get my falcon on his objective. And continue shooting at the
TS, leaving only the captain. I also wound some zerkers, taking about 2 bodies off.
Chaos 6:
His
LR tries to shoot at my busted fire prism but does nothing. Gets his
TS in contesting range. He assaults the empty fire dragon wave serpent and has much more luck on it than the falcon and easily blows it up several times and takes 1 zerker doing so.
Eldar 7:
Killed that final
TS (secondary objective), and left only 1 zerker.
Chaos 7:
Not much he could do, he had an imbolised
LR and 1 bezerker left.
Win 1-0 + secondaries.
Thoughts: this was the first time I played this list. And I have to say I loved it, some obvious things I will change but, overall I thought it was incredibly durable, and just overall powerfull and shooty. Guide on the falcon really helps, I have 9 shots coming from that tank so being able to re-roll is awesome. I lose fire dragons in both games. I lost scorpions in both games. And I only lost one waveserpent over 2 games.
