Game 3 was against the same guy i played round 1 at winter warm up. He was using the same list (pretty much) which was space wolf drop pods. He had 7 in total (i think) which had a lot of combi plasma and melta. The mission was relic (3) and emperors will primary and purge secondary. Rolled decentish powers with tiggy getting 4++, prescience and scriers gaze. He made me go 1st with hammer and anvil deployment. Obviously he started with nothing on the board so i deployed the centurions, tiggy, tau commander and chapter master in one unit on the righy flank close to the edge with the riptide 6 away to the left ( i left a nice 8'' gap between my table side and the riptide hoping he would be tempted to drop in there (and hopefully fly off the edge). Got my 2 powers off and that was about it.
His turn bought 4 of the 7 pods on. The first was a combi plasma squad with a priest in dropped in the hole i left. Unfortunatly he hit and deployed. The 2nd landed in the centre next to the centre relic with 10 basic troops and a priest. The 3rd with 10 troops went on the opposite flank to my centurions but flew off the table and rolled a 1 for the mishap! Result!! First strike (as judged by tim) and 2 kill points. The 4th landed at the back by his objective no problem. He then cast jaws on the riptide which would also hit 4 centurions (ouch!!) only for the riptide to deny with a 6!! Boom!! The combi plasma did however strip 4 wound off as i forgot to nova charge for a 3++. That was about it.
Turn 2 i killed the unit that dropped next to me as well as the pod but that was about it. He then failed ALL his reserve rolls! Woop!
Turn 3 i killed most of the middle unit with my stormraven (which arrived) and the centurions. Only the unit at the back was left.
His turn he failed all but 1 reserve roll. Wow
The melta squad arrived in the centre then then snapped at tge stormraven and took 1 hull point.
My turn 4 my bikes came in and moved straight for the left hand relic and was joined by the unwounded chapter master. The kroot ran onto my objective which was out of los to the rest of the board. The bikes then boosted so they would easily get the relic next turn while the centurions stripped a few more marines buy didnt really have much to shoot.
His reserves auto came in so he dropped the warlord unit with meltas in the same gap by my table edge and mishaped. I then placed it right on the edge of my deployment zone but on the opposite side to my kroot.
In my turn i killed a few more guys but nothing great BUT i forgot to move my stormraven with 2x5 guys in.
He the n killed the stormraven with the misplaced melta guys but didnt explode so the guys survived. So end of turn 5 he had his objective and 1 relic. I had the same but was way ahead on kill points. Game goes on with a roll of a 6.
My chapter master left the bikes and went straight for the guys claiming his objective and killed them in combat. One of the 5 man tac squads grabbed the 2nd relic.
The game went on another turm but nothing much changed so i had 2 relics and an objective but i couldnt get the last relic from him. I was way ahead on kill points so ended with a 17-3 win which puts me on 43 for the day. Awaiting the rd 4 draw now
Amazing days gaming and learnt so much from the guys around me and watching the ginger BoW guy stumbling around (he was wasted) was very entertaing!
