I played in my first WM tournament on Saturday and really enjoyed myself.  Hopefully some of the other participants will add some takes on thier own batreps. 

My list Protectorate.

Kreoss

Crusader

2 Redeemers

Exemplars

4choir

7 Zealots

Eyriss

Paladin

First round matchup was against Cygnar.  Don't recall his exact listbut he had Hailey, Lancer, Trenchers and Eyriss also.  Mission was king of the hill with points for every round it was controlled thing.  I deployed Eyriss on the hill and everything else behind my jacks with the exception of my zealots on the left flank.  I went first having Eyriss go invisible and everything els running up straight ahead.  Cast protection of Menoth on the Zealots.  His first turn he charges his lancer on top of the hill, shoots my crusader with Eyriss to disrupt and moves up his trenchers to shoot my Zealots.  wipes out most of my  zealots but protection of Menoth keeps them from being wiped.  My turn give all most of my focus to my two Redeemers and cast Lamentation to keep Hailey out of my control range.  Activate Eyriss and shoot his lancer with disruption.  Charge my exemplars into his trenchers wiping all but two out.  Last zealot who passed his command chech bombs another trencher.  Redeemers activate killing the last trencher then targeting hailey at range.  Template causes some damage to hailey and one deviate onto his journeyman solo which I boost popping his solo.  His biggest jack now goes inactive and I definatley control the hill.  My turn two pretty much decided the outcome.  Paladin charges toward his Eyriss/lancer and Hailey is out of position to activate his heavy jack and can't allocate focus to the disrupted Lancer.  His only option is to try and get close enough to his heavy jack and reactivate it which allows my feat to go off in turn three with a pop and drop from a Redeemer.  VP's 17 to 1

Second round match up was also against Cygnar.  He had Stryker, Iron clad, storm blades, long gunners, chain gun jack and a solo. 

I get set up and take first.  Set up in the same formation as the first round, jacks in the middle with everything else behind, Zealots way out to the left and Eyriss deployed up the right to claim first round objective.  Mission was control points with three objectives around the middle of the board.  First turn I run the Zealots up to try and claim a objective.  Three jacks run base to base up the middle.  Choir chants to no range attacks on the jacks and the rest of my force advance behind the jacks for cover.  Eyriss goes invisible.  I thought my opponent had already overextended himself to try and match my throw away units (Eyriss and Zealots) I thought for sure he would set up his long gunners across from my Zealots and shoot them down before they could cross the board.  His first turn he moves up his Iron Clad, Journey solo and chain gun jack to go after the objective Eryiss was camped out on?  Moves up his storm blades to go after the Zealots.  At this point I would like to interject the fact that he had not played quite as many games and was fairly new.  My second turn I use most of my focus on Redeemers move them up and open fire on his long gunners killing all but one lone gunner.  I run my exemplars and paladin out from behind the jack shield up the left flank to support the Zealots.  I activate Kreoss and cast Protection on Zealots the run further up toward the storm blades.  Eyriss shoots chain gun jack with disrupt after running into nearby woods.  All that's left in the middle is Stryker and lone long gunner.  His turn he kills a few Zealots with his storm blades from shooting but protection save most.  Next turn I proceed to move everything forward, feat, bomb storm blades with zealots and charge Exemplars  with paladin toward Stryker.  I shoot the last gunner with Redeemer.  His turn he charges into Eyriss with Iron clad but fails to hit her.  My turn I try to break Eyriss out of combat but Iron clad muclhes her.  I charge my exemplars and Paladin into Stryker and flubber a bunch of rolls.  I don't kill Stryker until my Redeemer on the hill shoots into combat and finishes him off.  VP's 14 to 1

Third match for the prize round unfortunatley was against another Protectorate player.  I will hold off and see if orks can post his batrep first.  Like to hear your take orks.

you won this one didnt you?

Sounds like heretics were thoroughly burned in this outting.

Well other then seeing protectoret in the last round the tourney was fine, our round was won by the better player that day allthough you'll never win another game against me with the drop and pop, basicly I forgot just how devstating your list could be. congrates on the fine tourny win.
