Game 1 against michael bolton ended with a tabling turn 6 in my favour! I got super lucky with a few rolls to keep my chapter master alive but other than that im very happy with how i played!
Game 2 against Rob Madely (england etc, 40k podcast guy) was one of the best games ive ever had. He took necrons which consisted of 3x5 wraiths. 2 barges, 3 night scythes with 5 warriors, zandrak, obyron and a destroyer lord as well as 4 tomb spiders! The game was purge the alien so i knew i had a chance (even though hes a waaaaaay better player than me). First turn did nothing for either side as there was a ton of los blocking terrain for him to hide behind. After that it was a blood bath! My centurion blob ended up in combat with all the characters, tomb spiders and 1 unit of wraiths. I manages to kill all but 1 spider, all the wraiths and left the characters on 1 wound. Then he teleported out
the wraiths ended up being my only kp of the game. We had a couple of objectives each by the end (turn 5) as the scouring was the secondary mission but the value of his came to 3 more than mine.
Sounds like i did ok? The only points i gave up were crucial though as his flyers took out my stormraven with 2x5 marines inside giving up 3 kill points and my riptide killed himself with over charge on 1 wound! (kinda dumb but i needed the blast to kill wraiths)
Again happy with how i played especially as Rob spent most the game saying sorry for how good his dice were and how bad mine were lol
Bring on game 3!!!
