He said that he is taking his 2000 point list minus his troops to fit everything in.
Mission:
Primary: Table Quarters
Secondary: Kill Points
Tertiary: Objectives
Deployment: Spearhead
He sets up and I start in reserve. Hmmm, maybe I start in reserve more that I thought I do.
Turn #1
Space Marine Turn #1
Not much for him to do.
Grey Knight Turn #1
No Draigo on the table this time.
Turn #2
Space Marine Turn #2
He shuffles around.
Grey Knight Turn #2
I come down and shoot! My Paladins shoot and blow up a Land Raider.
Turn #3
Space Marines Turn #3
The Scouts that were in the Land Raider start to run back.
Grey Knights Turn #3
I shoot and my strike squad kills his rhino.
Turn #4
Space Marine Turn #4
He turns and shoots at my Paladins. Draigo takes the shots like a boss!
Grey Knight Turn #4
I move forward and keep shooting.
Turn #5
Space Marine Turn #5
He tries to run both Land Raiders forward and one on the left gets immobilized when he pivots and then tried to drive forward. He does not get out to assault me though.
Grey Knight Turn #5
I assault the Land Raider and take it out with Might of Titan.
10 scouts in a landraider is weak IMO. I think peops are having a hard time dealing with psycannons.

I really thought that all the lists at the Invitational would be perfectly tailored killing machines, but this really shows they are not.
ReplyDeleteWas the overall impression that "almost all" where really skilled at playing and army building or was it just the "usual suspects" and a bunch of free-riders?
I think some of the players qualified from smaller events that didn't attract better players. Unfortunately only 1 or 2 members of the ETC were in attendance but since you had to be 1st or 2nd in a tournament they wouldn't necessarily have been qualified. You could be a great world class player and go to 4-5 events a year and easily not have been 1st or 2nd. Competition is tough and it's a game that has elements of chance.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't add up mate- that's 2060 pts as it stands. I'm assuming it's a typo in what you took :) can we see the correct 1750 and 2 k lists ?
ReplyDeleteI accidentally posted my Nova Open list. I corrected it.
