Had a good time at Caledonian, although next time I think I need to make sure I can do something against centurion death stars cos I faced two and it wasn't pretty...
Game 1: I was facing 8 flying tyranids beasties, 4 Dakka flyrants, 2 hive crones, 2 harpies, then 3 units of gargoyles who could come back on a 4+. I lost 7 - 13 turn five. Made a big mistake as I wasn't switched on last turn and forgot to move one unit who would have contested an obj and forgot to run another unit which would prob have stopped his flyrants getting near to contest. Think it could have been at least a draw...anyway...
Game 2: vs the battle company of white scars that Rob beat, I drew 10 - 10, which I was actually really happy with. This was my favourite game of the weekend. I was stupid and gave him 1st turn when I should have gone first - he dropped a grav unit and killed my spyder before RP was up and shot up one of my lychguard who ran, then failed to rally and ran off the board. I went defensive and clawed my way back on Kill points - he had 3 obj. To my 1 at game end.
Game 3: the first cent star list, lost 4 - 16. I managed to charge the death star since they failed gate, with 6 wraiths, 5 lychguard, a cryptek and an overlord. He had invis on and a 4+ inv. so I did 0 wounds, my lychees ran and then he gated away from my wraiths. After that it was game over really, managed to cling on till end of turn 6 with 1 of the 2 obj, and only a scarab and the spyder still alive.
Game 4: I won a game! 20 - 0 vs imperial guard gun line list with lots of artillery. This went perfectly really, veiled both lychguard units turn 1 and proceeded to obliterate the enemy lines with them and the wraiths. He had a Valkyrie flying round at the end of the game and I had the relic and most of my army intact. Was a bit one sided but quite good fun (for me
)
Game 5: second cent star, I lost 0 - 20. Turn 1, he gated, made lychguard squad run away. My turn 1, they ran off the board. I veiled other unit across the table to seize an obj, they scattered onto a strike squad, mishapped, I rolled a one, oops. So I had lost 4 hq and both lychguard. I struggled on till turn4 where I conceded as I had no hope. Realised after that that meant I did not score any VPs for the game so I should have played on but didn't really matter by this stage.
Finished 57th I think on 41 tournament points. Bit worse than normal but only just. Still, enjoyed the weekend and looking forward to the next one!
