Post:

This is it, my first major of the edition, and the largest tournament I've attended since LVO 2020. I'm hoping to have a great time, meet some wonderful people, and roll some dice.

Something I haven't utilized much this edition is Strategic Reserve. My deployment zone can get very tight, so I need to keep in mind, especially against very shooty armies. It would be better to have units in reserve than to not be able to hide them effectively. This also means I can make use of Rapid Ingress. We'll see if I can leverage that at all.

Considering this GT won't be using the recent balance dataslate, it's a safe best Eldar and GSC will still reign supreme, and that I'll still struggle mightily into Custodes. Fingers crossed I can dodge the Craftworlds and Janitors matchups as much as possible. I'm shooting for an even 3-3, though I'll fight like tooth and nail to get to 4-2.
