So today, for you guys who wanted to know, (unfortunately no pics due to sheers dice numbers i had to throw taking forever) I played 3 games at the tournament.
Game 1 vs Dark angels Ravenwing and Eldar bike allies
So it started out pretty strongly, taking 1 Chimera down for first strike (furst blood but both can score) retaliation fire took out, 1 unit of black knights, and 4 members each of the other 2 and his librarian, took out half a marine squad and wiped out a unit of jet bikes and broke the farseers unit, but they didn't flee off the board. Brilliant start I'm all over him and got 2/3 Warlord First Strike and all he has is First sTrike and 1 point for killing the Chimera.
Turn 2 is where it goes down hill. 0 wounds caused to him despite dishing out over 130 saves. I lost all the chimera's a wyvern out of action for a turn, manticore died, squad from the chimera dead, 2 chimeras dead and the squads crippled beyond use. command failed to issue an order on Double 6 and that was that. The Farseer rallies on the board edge.
Turn 3 The Farseer and warlock advance and die. I lose another wyvern, 49 wounds dished onto a single bike... he lives he kills a wyvern nothing else of note.
Turn 4 Dishes out another 36 wounds onto that biker... he lives and strips a point off of a punisher. Nothing else of note.
Turn 5 Dishes out 43 wounds to lone biker (3+ only rerollable) HE FRIGGING LIVES
Game ends due to running out of time. I loose 12-9... with 3 D3 objectives unsecured
Game 2 against farsight enclave
Now this game was mine hands down end of story. ANd thanks to the
BS call of the
TO I lost (this guy has made so many
bs calls in favour of his friends who are playing its a joke) So this was Farsight enclave, 3 riptides, 5 crisis teams, the stealth suit formation with 3 path finder units, piranah, amd 2 stealth teams commander with 6 marker drones.
Turn 1 unbeknownst to me as I proceeded to wipe the formation outm, a stealth team a piranha and forgot to shoot the crap out of a riptide with the vanquisher, and executioner, in dropped all his reserves, getting lucky i lost a chimera and a few hull points here and there. And reduced a riptide to 1W
Turn 2 Ignoring the riptides fr the bigger threat, I proceeded to wipe out the final stealth team, killed off 8 out of 12 suits,killed all but the commander, leaving him with 0 markerlights. crippled the second Riptide down to 2 wounds and him compounding it down to 1 on nova charge. Command chimera gets takwen out and the manticore looses a missile.
turn 3 majority of my time is spent moving around to take down the riptides and collecting objectives.
Final turn,
TO approaches table with 2 mins left on clock and all my oopponent has left is a single wound in the open Crisis suit with me bearing down on him with 5 plasma shots, and asks who went first... aka me, declared there was no time for my opponent to do nothing with his final suit as he couldn't hurt anything on my side, and the 4th turn was null and void. Even though If he had been 30 seconds later it would of been all over. Lost this game 11-12 due to this
bs.
Game 3 against mixed Guard with Red Scorpian Allies
This was a straight up slober knocker, he had the firestorm redoubt with punisher and quad icaruscannon, bailisk paskuisher and eradicator, and a battle tank, tech priest and cohort,Red Scorpians Chief Libraran, and a squad, 2 squads of veteran and a command squad amd 2 heavy weapons squads.
This was just a straight up blow for blow, my opponent could of easily won this game if he had done what I had, and focused on transports and then units getting out of them, He kept getting invibility off on the redoubt but made another fatal meistake in leaving a chimera parked next to it, so close that i was able to hit both with the first 3 missiles (got a nice 6 on the manticore missiles) and reduced it to armor 11, then hit the chimera and redoubt again with plasma reducing it to armour 8. Took some damage couple of chimera's ssome hullp points here and there nothing major.
Turn 2 I finished off the redoubt, killed all the
HW's and the librarian,killed the chimera, and continued weakening the marines. in return i lost another chimera an infantry squad the manticore.
Turn 3 some other minor blows the end result fell 7-6 in my favour, scoring 1 secondary and my opponent scoring 1.
Over all first game was mildly annoying but nothing i could do, second game i wanted to bet the crap out of the
TO, Opponent cant have his turn therefor the turn that was tabkling him is invalid... utter
BS. and the 3rd game the guy had seen and heard it all so was understanding of how frustrated i was not at him and took a few snappy remarks in the way they were meant... not at him, good guy really nice to play against, as were my other opponents, and the first game was well down with the banter. especially the chronic sudden stiffness of my middle finger lmao.
During lunch I went around the stalls looking for Blood Bowl related items, and got my hands on classic lead undead Citadel team for £35, and from a company up the road from me who attended,
https://www.blackscorpionminiatures.com/product_info.php?cPath=31&products_id=325&osCsid=0k3ifvqakfsmtbg5jp07g2d5b3 thoroughly recommend taking a look the got some lovely fantast footbal teams if your into blood bowl, I love the spartan look of the humans, and the kaven are really cool too. and this was a first got home after the day was over, and knowing they are not at the show tomorrow, when I found an air bubble that had left a gaping hole in one of the ogres armour plates, they were more than happy to get a replacement sent out to me. brilliant guys.
So once tomorrow is over I'm taking a break from
40k not the painting but need a break so trying something new.
hence the heaviness of it
