Tournament Report: March of Ancients

Yesterday I played in a small local tournament at my FLGS which had 20 players. I used my March of the Ancients list. 

 

Game 1 vs Necrons Emperor's Will (Dawn of War)

 

The worst possible match up that I could have drawn, especially for the first game. To save time and space, I was glanced off the board. At Turn 5 I had three pods left. I scored one point for line-breaker.

 

Loss 8-1

 

Game 2 vs Ultramarines Purge the Alien (Vanguard)

 

Chapter Master

Master of the Forge

5 Terminators

2 x 10 Tac Marines in Rhinos

Contemptor Dread with 2 Chainfists in a Pod

Fellblade

2 x Sicarin Battle Tanks

 

This was a brutal game for my opponent. I tabled him in four turns. Murderfang destroyed his Chapter Master and 5 Terminators. My opponent did have terrible luck with armor saves. I think he made less than 10 during the whole game. I lost a Knight and a BlizzDread. 

 

Win 15 - 2 (12 Kill Points, All 3 Secondaries)

 

So that game put me back into competition and I found myself on table 2, fighting for third place.

 

Game 3 vs Orks The Scouring (Hammer and Anvil)

 

Stompa with a bunch of meks inside to repair damage

Gorkanaut

Morkanaut

2 x Dakkajets

3 x 10 Boyz in Trukks with Nob

 

This was a brutal fight. The high point objectives were all in my opponent's deployment zone so I sat servitors on my own objectives and took the fight to him. The Stompa absorbed most of my firepower and I whittled it down to one HP three separate times. My Knights both failed crucial charges (a theme of the day as I rolled a grand total of 3 on four different charges with the knights) and enough blown ion shield saves saw my heavy hitters face down in the dirt. The dreads put up a fight but I just couldn't kill the freaking Stompa and he rolled through me.

 

Loss 11 - 6

 

Overall I had a good time. The games were fun for the most part. Necrons are annoying but I knew going in that they would give me trouble. I still think that had I pulled off those failed charges with the Knights the games that I lost would have been different. I still need practice with the list to coordinate everything properly but I had fun with it and didn't take it too seriously.
