Rob - Space Wolves

Round One - CHaos Space Marines, Tyranids. 4 Objectives. 2-0 win for us. Time ran out and ended match.

Enemy gets first turn but Initiative is seized!! Well to start, these guys hadnt played in years prior to this game. WHen other people were doing combats and shooting they were still deploying. The Chaos player took a Greater Daemon and didnt take any seargeants (Greater Daemons need a Chaos Champion, Plague Champion etc to actually spawn). We let him take a Chaos Dreadnaught (changing his list mid tournament is actually not allowed but whatever). Which added to his 2 already dreadnaughts and 2 Defilers. The TYranid player had a pretty decent army, minus the suck gargolyes that kill a whoppin 2 or 3 Longfangs. All 3 CHaos Dreadnauhts did not Rage against its allies which is like winning the fucking lottery. One became fleet and tied up my squad of Horrors for most of the game. The two of them had no tactics and didnt really play all that agreeably with eachother. Not real sure if these guys were ready for TOurnaments in general. In the end, the Daemonettes and Rune Priest w/ Tactical Marines held our 2 and another one of Rob's squads contested their only troop-help objective.

Round Two - Ultramarines and Eldar. 1-0 capture and control match. Ended in turn 5

These two guys were actually pretty damn good. Clearly we havent been interpreting ALOT of shit in the ELdar codex correctly. Or playing the army to its max potential. The Eldar player was a little bit cocky personally, but we won the game so it was hard to let it bother us. The Ultramarines had a pretty good army. 5 man assault term squad, land raider, predator, drop pod with 5 Sternguard, A single scout bike (leftover points), i dunno he had other stuff I cant recall. They had good armies but for some reason focused on trying to kill everything on the board and never put any troops even remotely near their capture point. By turn 4 or 5 all Eldar transports were dead in the water, a last Dire Avenger squad tried to bolt on foot but were dwindled to 3 or 4 after a turn of shooting from Bill's Tzetntch daemons. In the end, Bill's plaguebearers and a small number of robs troops were holding our objective points while Flamers of Tztentch sat on the enemy capture point. Game ends on turn 5.

Round 3 - 2000 points of Orks - Kill Pts DAWN OF WAR! One unit is allowed to Outflank. Near wipeout for us. Got our asses handed to us.

How do I always get paired against 2000 pts of Orks? Damn it! Basically by turn 1 we were practically overrun by the Speed Freaks. These guys had a pretty devesdating army. Virtually no shooting at all. Lots of armor 14 wagons. The Ork players outflanked Gazkhull Thrakka w/ Boyz and rob outflanks his FLamer Tact Marine squad in Rhino. Not much to explain about this game. we lost, fuckin bad! These guys won first place after beating us, leaving us in 2nd place.

Overall the best tourney for me so far. Rob enjoyed himself. Learned stuff, got free shit. No bad opponents or arguments between us and our opponents. Good times. Rob if theres anything you see that I missed, fix it!
