Alright, fresh from my tournament just now and I am...

0-3 >.< The Daemon world wasn't kind to me...

We used the Daemon world rules from crusade of fire, so it was very Random. One moment you think your okay with perfect tactics, the next your unit is possessed by tseneech (enemy) and plants a melta bomb on your tank.

my list was:


Warlord: Interrogator-chaplain Mordecai (Terminator armor, Mace of Redemption)-175pts



Elite 1: Deathwing Knights (5 vets w/Land Raider crusader (multi-melta)-525pts
Elite 2: Mortis Dreadnaught (x2 autocannons)-125pts
Yes, I had permission for the forgeworld thing


Troop 1: Tactical squad (10 man, Veteran sergeant,  melta gun, Combi-melta, melta bombs, rhino)-210pts

Troop 2: Tactical squad (10 man, Veteran Sergeant, flamer, Combi-flamer, melta bombs Rhino)-205pts

So first game was against a Genestealer Spam list (the theme was from the movie Aliens). at the end of turn 4 I was just out of reach of one objective. Daemon world rules screwed me over on the first turn. Tactical squad 2 got possessed by the enemy and melta bombed tact squad 4’s razorback. Lost 0-1 because of first blood. I loved the army I played against, though. Each gene-stealer had a Xenomorph head, and he had half his army outflank so they litterally came from everywhere at once.



2nd game was against Tseneench Daemons, and it was even more close than the first game. Highlights are:

A rhino’s storm bolter killing a Daemon prince

Rolling for mass toughness tests on a tactical squad and pink horror squad

Deathwing knights beating the hell outof the Lord of Change and then a freshly Deepstuck Pink horror squad. I lost because of a big mess of an assault phase that had 20 pink horrors, a fresh, full unit Plague bearers, A full tactical squad engaged, an Angry Interrigator chaplain, and 4 battered deathwing knights...

lost 3-4 because of line breaker X-X finally gotten the Hunt VP though. the game went 30 minutes overtime, so Everyone had a chance to rest thier brainpan while I had to go to...




Game 3 against Chaos marines. At this point, my cold medicine wore off so I had a big pounding headache. Also, the Daemon world AND my dice went against me.

Highlight was my Land raider Deep-striking into a far corner (a 10 on the World roll), then next turn getting immobilized in some ruins facing a wall so it couldn’t shoot stuff... that sucked so much.

My knights then charged into some warp talons, and that kinda sucked. my Knight Master and two knights died to bad rolling in assault. I had to forfiet the game, because I wouldnt be able to fully play with a bad head ache.

I have a re-match in the Making though.

ouch, tough break. Well, at least it sounds like it was an enjoyable time

It really was, to say the truth. I think if I took a 10 minute break between the games I would have played the 3rd more tactically. Also meds wearing off kinda sucked.


But, I have to say, The random rolling on tables was absolutely crazy when fighting against Daemons. on his turn he had to roll twice! once for the game rules, and once for the Warp Storm.
