The Table http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070896.jpg Deployment Deathwatch - Two Rhinos, with their units inside, behind walls on the right flank - One Stalker squad on the left flank http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070907.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070908.jpg Deployment Renegades The whole army taking up all the space... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070909.jpg Turn 1 Renegades Well of course he sizes me... Anyhow, for some mysterious reason my opponent is struck by bad luck, or he had not pleased the dice gods. He didn't score a single wound or hull point during his opening turn. He did move up a bit with his units. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070911.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070912.jpg Turn 1 Deathwatch I came crashing down with the librarian and his unit in the first drop pod on the right. Second one with the captain went for the centre. Librarian used the Beacon and called in a Rhino to support. My missions were to secure a marker on the right flank and kill the largest enemy unit. This was the zombies. I also had many other missions, mostly kill things and hold objectives I held already. With some ugly shooting, by shooting at unit in the back but still within reach, I could flame through 2-3 units with my frag cannons. In turn 1 I took out all the zombies and a total amount of around 50 infantry models. The librarian used the Technomancy power to force one Colosus to snap fire. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070913.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070914.jpg Casualties from the right flank http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070915.jpg Turn 2 Renegades Yet again, all his shooting results in perhaps 2-3 casualties spread out on different units. Never seen such horrible scatter from blast weapons. He tries to charge me, but runs into a wall of fiery death. Turn 2 Deathwatch My third drop pod doesnt arrive. In it rides 5 veterans with stalkers, and a terminator. But I push on with the other units. Plow through his Tanks with close combat and frag cannons. Charge into various units with the captain and his unit (which he detached from). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070918.jpg Turns there after Renegades can't do anything. They just keep on pushing forward, hoping for the best, but the bodies just pile up. He does kill some random model here and there, but never any full units. By the end of turn 4, he is left with one artillery model. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070919.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070920.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Tournament/P1070921.jpg Game ends 28 - 0 in my favour.
