Battle Report from Saturday's tournament

Hello everyone,
Its me Ace, and I'm posting the results of the tournament that me and Red recently attended. Sorry that they are not in detail, rough day forgot to take notes, but next tournament be ready for full pics and full blown details! But think of this as ESPN highlight reel!
It was a long day, let me tell you something. First round was against a Chaos Smurf, and an Eldar player, everything was clicking between the list, focus fire on the lash, dead turn one. Focus on objectives, we were crushing it. Then the Officer of the fleet couldn't hold off the striking scorpions off for much longer (those things hurt!) We lost a few objectives, but penal legions killed 2 obliteraters in 3 rounds of CQC then contested the objective for the tie!

Next game was against a Smurf list, and a Tau list. Boy who would have thought that bikes would hurt! Turn one Red was in assault and was nearly destroyed, we started to get our game faces on when Terminators came on and walked the line, and wrecked my Vendetta, and my two Hydras. Destroyers made a last ditch effort to control the last objective at the end of the game, but were annihilated by a vast volley of fire, and a power fist to the face from a Techpriest. Result was a loss.

The next game was kind of a cheese game, the kid brought some orks, and his buddy brought some Smurfs. Now the whole concept of Orks is cool, lots of green men running twoards you and you get about 2-3 turns to kill as many as you can, nope not this game, we were killing fast amounts of orks, and smurfs, but the way the kid set up... He forgot what orks were in what squad! So it took us like 30 mins to figure everything out, and at the end of turn 3 time was up so we had to call it. With 5 kill points per side, it was a draw.

So all in all it was a fun day of gaming, meeting new people getting even more of a feel for guard. But coming in 9th out of 10 people was a bummer. I do believe that there was not enough time alloted to be played, but in some games we were sluggish but no fingers are going anywhere! But if we had one more turn we would have turned the two losses into wins! But thats just me!

Next tournament is a 2k game on June 20th, and I am toying with the idea of bringing Grey Knights to play? Has anyone tried these guys out? Im going to make a pretty sick list and post it for everyone to say! So stay tuned because June 21st your going to see a book long Battle report!!!

So stay tuned

Ace

    @Paperclipracer, I know thats why I don't want to really bring them that bad, but I know that they will give me a backbone for assault!
