Well,
The tournament was great with 28 players showing up to fight in the doubles tournament of 2000 points. Wouldn't you know it I had to fight 3 fateweavers which is probably the biggest problem against my Thunderwolf list. My first game was against 2 fateweavers which should have gone our way, but of course it was kill points, and Jim's fateweaver made too many re-roll saves even for fateweaver. My son and I then were playing for 3rd hopefully by tabling our 2nd opponent and then having to play fateweaver and chaos sorcerers with obliterators in the third game. I am more than irritated at how the last game went, but we were beat fair and square. (Even though 1 player was basically controlling both armies and just told the other when to roll and what to shoot at.) But it was fun none the less and I was super excited for everyone that came out.
For the second tournament in a row a Foot Eldar list won 1st tied with the double fateweaver list we played in the first turn. There were many great looking armies and a lot of newer players, some old vets that came back, young and old, and of course Steve B. was there, and well he is his own category.
Hope to see you again at the next tournament of 1750 points November 6th!!!!
yeah. we brought melta and Hflamers to a Double avatar disco.
ReplyDeletewe got spanked hard. of course, me failing 3 Pin checks, and then 3 stubborn Ld9 CC morale checks doesn't help either.
The Cannoness DID take down a WraithLord in CC with her dying swing. rawr.
I'd have rather fought the double fateweaver. I can pelt him with enough shots to make him run away.
Jim pointed out Fateweaver should take 28wounds before he falls, and their list was unstoppable.
I pointed out that I can come close to putting out 28 wounds with 2 sister squads in shooting.
SandWyrm and I would have fared better if we'd decided to do our typical IG/WH abuse of the heavy Support and troops columns. The combo of exorcists, IG heavy tanks, and Ld10 bubble inside a platoon w/HWT's would have made people cry.
but the Sang Guard / WH combo was kinda fun.
we didn't abuse a force org. We probably should have.
I would have much rather faced Footdar or Double fateweaver than that silly Ba/WH combo I had to face with Ld9 stubborn units. haha
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun, but I felt like I was playing with two typhoons most of the games. I wish I had brought a back up list, since I was teamed up differently than I woke up intending.
Worked out for the best, three incredibly close games were to be had.
