Illic Nightspear didn't do jack for me. Even against a Wraightknight He didn't cut it and that was kind of dissapointing. All in all the list did well, and I played 1 flyer that I shot down by getting rear armor with only one Wave Serpent.
Mind giving a recap of the tournament?
Yeah of course, I ended with an embarrassing 8 points, and gave out 34? I was really really bad, but game 3 took about an hour to deploy since I played against Orks with like, 120 Boyz.
Game 1 I played against my friend since we were a few minutes late we got paired. His army was 7 Leman Russ tanks, one with Pask, another with a Tank Commander, 2 Chimeras with Vets, 2 Hydras and a Vendetta. Hammer and Anvil deployment so we were on short edges, but I had the speed to cover ground. Mission was not my favorite, palyers deep strike 1 objective each on turns 1,3,5. They scatter and stop 1 inch short of Units and impassible terrain. Also played Kill Points and First Blood, Warlord, Linebreaker, and Last Blood. I thre my Fire Dragons in his face and killed about 6 tanks over the Span of the Game. Illic did 1 Hull point the whole time, and the Fire Prism did about 2. I lost 9-4, We drew on Secondary and Tertiary missions, I think if I turbo'd my Prism onto an Objective last turn we would have drawn on Primary too, but I could have won if I turbo'd a Serpent into Linebreaker. I'm okay losing though since my friend won First in the whole Tournament anyways
[Illic: 1 Hullpoint. Fire Prism: 2 Hullpoints]
Game 2
Vs Iyanden Eldar, veryyy pretty army, it was best painted
imo, too bad there were no paint scores. 4 Squads of Wraithguard, 2 Cannon/2 Scythe in Wave Serpents, 2 Spirit Seers, 3 Scatterlaser Warwalkers and 1 Wraithknight. I lost 11-4 here, He goes first and the Alpha Strike was furious, first Blood on my Guardians (22 models in +4 cover holy crap). After I saw how many shots and wounds the Warwalkers laid out I knew they were priority #1, and laid em out. Illic was in Ruins with his Posse and tried to D our the Knight, to no Avail. 4 turns of shooting, only 3 wounds. No 6's. Fire Prism was a part of layin down the Walkers, and he got some
HP on Serpents. He was a really good player and just methodically picked me apart 1 by 1. I'm still learning competitive play so it was a good learn. We cracked a ton of jokes, and all in all it was a fun game through and through.

Game 3
Vs Orks with Boyz for days. I go first and blow my Shields to pick off as many bodies as I can. I almost wipe the storm boyz but I don't. Long story short, he had WAY more guys than I had "ammo", and despite the losses he got in close combat and ran my Jetseer off the table for Warlord. His Lootas glance down 2 Serpents, Tankbustas shoot at and assault another two and I just didn't have anything left after turn . Illic was awful here, but the Prisim took out a bunch of boyz, but not enough. If we had more than 2 turns due to the time restrictions, I think the Fire Prism would have done much better.

All in all Illic is a huuuuuuuuuge dissapointment, and the Fire Prism, well there's a lot better in our heavy slots..

Serpents should have holofields.
I may have deleted the Holo-fields when I was taking off the point values, but out of the 3 Eldar players who went, I was the only one with them! The other two played 4 and 6 Wave Serpents w/o Fields. Weird.
