Tell your tales of woe or brag of your defeats. Please dont complain about the scenarios, that is an entirely different thread. I took my Guard army (The Bearbane First)
Game one-
Against a very nice feller playing chaos. Idiot us played on the extra 2 feet of an 8 foot board. That allowed him to pretty much camp on 3 objectives out of the reach of my guns. Should have ben a tie but my callidus assassin and Marbo (along with a host of shooting) was unable to roll anything better then ones and twos to kill the lesser daemons holding the tiebreaker objective.
Minor loss and a very good game.

Game two-
I played a Blood Angel army and I have to say, my opponent was hosed as I was able to immobilize his rhino with Mephiston and with the lack of cover, I mowed him down as he came at me. He made a few other mistakes that cost him in his frustration and I was almost embarrassed to find he had killed very little of my stuff while he had only a single devastator, 2 tactical marines and the immobilized rhino left at the end. Karma also handed me a few very good dice and my opponant some bad ones. Seems like it was compensation for the horrible horrible dice rolls I had trying to dislodge the daemon unit in game one.
Massacre win. Still fun because he a was decent sport .

Game three-
Played a tau army. When will I ever learn to not try to outshoot these critters lol.
The scenario got me. The extra battle points for vehicles gave him a minor win while I walked away with more victory points. I know I CANT be the only guard player who had this sort of result on this game.
Minor loss. A good and challenging game.

Overall, I came in 5th.

I played IG.
Round 1, vs BA. I go first, he did reserve his Stomraven and Landraider, deep strike for both. Basically, I was able to defeat him in detail. Pretty much killed what started on the table before the Stormraven showed up, pretty much killed it and contents before the Land Raider showed up. Killed his last model in the bottom of the 6th turn.

Round 2, Nids. He went first. Inquisitor and Mystics paid for themselves when he deep struck the Doom too close. Poof, gone. Then the Callidus Neural Shredder and Psyker Battle Squad Weaken Resolve did a tag team on a squad of two Carnies, Instant Deathed them. Even with taht it was a close game due to his Outflanking units. But I pull out a minor victory.

Round 3. BA again. Three stormravens. Three dreads with talons (two DC dreads, IIRC). Whatsisname and two squads of Death company, one squad assault marines, couple other characters. One tac squad. He goes first and zooms to my side of the table. I manage to knock down one 'raven, create a little bit of a jam, but he still destroys two merged 20-man squads on his assault, top of turn 2. But then I get all my reserves on turn 2. Marbo, Callidus, PCS with meltas, PCS with plasmas. Death and destruction and mayhem ensues. Going into turn 6 he is winning by two KP, but only has 1 tac marine, 1 sang priest, 1 immobilized weapoless dread, and a wounded character. The character lived, thanks to making invulnerable saves. Everything else died, giving me a 1 KP win.

Finished 4th overall and 3rd already bowed out. I'm waiting for a final list of semi locations to decide if I'm going or not.

Don, if you dont mind my asking, could you post your list? I would like to compare notes. I dont see 2 people dropping out from my area or the semis being close enough to go but never hurts to wish. Never thought of the insta kill assassin/psycher combo. Grats on that.
