I wish this had been posted sooner!

It was a small event 6 players, (including myself), but fun.

I won it with my Daemons.
A choas marine won favorite painted
My first Round Opponent wond Best Sports with his Blood Angels.

As far as placing beyond that I'm Not certain but I think records were

Me 3-0
Space Wolves 2-1
Blood Angels 2-1
Chaos Marines 1-2
Orks 1-2
Chaos Marines 0-3

I played BA in round 1, orks in round 2 and the CSM 1-2 player in round 3(He lost round 1 but beat the SW player round 2 so I was the only undefeated player). Given how points were done and the small number of players, round 3 ended up not mattering at all for overall as I had enough points to win after 2 rounds an no one else was close. All 3 missions were objective based, with objectives worth 3 Battle points. So however, many you claimed was your battle point score and whoever had the most at the end of the event was the winner.
I ran

Fateweaver
Lord of Change (2 Greater and a lesser, Level 3)

9 Screamers
10 Plauge Bearers
10 Horrors
10 Daemonettes
10 Blood Letters

Tzeentch Prince (Exalted, and Greater, flight, armor, level 3)
Slaanesh Grinder (Torrent)
Nurgle Grinder (Plegm)
Round 1 against the BA

HE was running a Rechlusiarch
5 PW Deathcompany in a Land Raider
10 Assault Marines
10 Scouts
Pod with Sternguard (6 maybe)
DC Dread with Blood Talons
Baal Pred
Vindi

I rolled up the 4++ save on both Fatey and the LOC, and went to town with 2++ screamers. By the end I had lost my LOC (to the warpstorm table) and that was it, and tabled winning with 4 objectives controlled. So 12-0. I think next highest player had 6.)

Round 2 against orks (Who had 6 points)
he brought
Ghazzy
3/4 Mega Nobs
Battlewagon (all kinds of upgrades)
Warboss
Nob squad
Battle wagon
12 Lootas
Battle Wagon
2 Smallish Boy units
another wagon
Deff dread.

Got my 2++ going again, turn 1 blew up his boyz wagon and killed the boyz with screamers, which set the tone for the game ended up tabling wining 12-0 again. I ended up losing the screamers as I failed the grimior and lost combat and died to instability.

Now I was up 24 to maybe 9 or something. Last mission was Emporers will so only 6 points available.

I played CSM (apparently was Double FOC)
Nurgle Lord (bike, burning Brand)
Sorcerer (nurgle, level 3)
Daemon Prince (Nurgle, level 2?)

30 Plague Marines
10 Havocs
2 Nurgle Oblits
Forge Fiend

This was my closest match. I lost Fateweaver, and My prince, as well as my Blood Letters. But still tabled and won 6-0 (controlled both objectives).


Overall, terrain needed a bit more density on some tables (one was all forests with No LOS blockers, another was city fight.). Also played all terrain was 4+ cover due to this inconsistency (could have themed tables less) Most players were fairly inexperienced in 6th ed, but it was a good first 6th ed event at Flagship Comics. Overall a fun time, and would go again, though I might bring a different list (newer players against Daemons = bad).
