Llw club tournament

So that was painful.

 

We p layed 13, data scry salvage, not my favorite map to begin with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It all wend pretty allright.

He had first turn, and moved everything to the center objective on his side, to shoot everything into the twc unit that was hiding on the line in dense forest.

Everything shot and still one lived with two wounds, so I was hopefull.

 

I charged that lone thundewolf into his autarch, but it lived on one wound and killed me in return.

My other two units of twc moved up to the middle, with the captain in between for oaths points and the fightlast heroic intervention. My libby stayed behind the ruin in my deploymend but got his coversave and -1 to hit bubble up. Wulfen stayed hidden.

Thats where I made a mistake, because I thought that flyers couldnt come in your deployment zone turn 2.

 

 

 

that was not the worst though, he pulled out a strategem called Eldritch storm and costs 3cp. He placed a marker in the middle of my bubble and for every farseer model he did d3 mortal wounds to all units withing 6”.

that did in total 21 mortal wounds.

Ouch, my libby lived on one wound, some wulfen got killed, some thundewolfs, captain lived on 2 wounds, some intercessors died.

Then he did another psychic spell to finish of the librerian with mortal wounds.

 

so my storm bubble went down and everything was in the open for his shooting phase.

The two flyers showed up in my backfield to shoot the wulfen from the back.

 

Basicly everything in the middle got shot, all my characters went down. Game over.

He killed the last two twc with The Yncarne.

 

 

In my turn I shot one and a half flyer with my longfangs, killed the yncarne with my wulfen that where still in the ruin. Put terminators on “my” middle objective but without the chaplain failed the charge on his shinging spears ofcourse. On his home objective I had a lucky charge with my terminators and kicked a unit of windriders off it.

 

In his turn three my terminators and wulfen got killed by shooting and charges from the shinging spears. I managed to steal some more oaths points and banner points, but I got pretty much tabled.

 

 

Feels sour because I thought I was doing pretty allright, if my characters didn’t went down I think I had a chance. And I thought I was protecting them ok, but how to protect yourself from 26 mortal wounds in one turn?

So i played an rtt today with the same list. 
didnt go to bad.

 

first game into a tzeetch list with belakor, 3 units of screemers, 3units of horrors, 2 units of flamers and some more flamer and psykers guys. 
the map was good for me but went second, and basically couldn’t put enough pressure. Were i wanted to put pressure on the 3 objective in the middle, he was there before me and was better in trading. 
finally I focused only on two objectives in the middle, but still couldn’t keep them from all his mortals and flames. 
Devastators wiffed on belakor and had to throw a unit of terminators and wulfen in but i got him down. At turn 4 i was prettymutch tabled. 
lost 54-91

 

second game was against harlequins. The table was less in my favor with a lot of dense terrain that slow my thunderwolves down. but still I managed to put some pressure on the middle.

My wulfen had to run back a couple of times to save my backfield. I shot one weaver down with the longfangs but after that he managed to stay away from them. My terminators missed a seven inch charge into most of his weavers, that could have won me the game.

He also got me a couple of times with pulling a unit 6” away when I wanted to charged it. Because of that my captain stayed in the open to get shot, also he sniped my librerian in t4.

i think i could have played it out better but time was running out. Im happy with the draw. 87-84.

 

last game was against imperial knights. 
the table was really in my favor, lot of high buildings, not much line of sight, objective in the middle and no denseterrain. And i went first. He shot of the first unit of thunderwolfs from the middle. But turn two i made all my charges with two units of wulfen, two units of twc, two units of terminators. The longfangs wiffed again.

turn 3 i pretty much tabled him.

97-33

 

was a fun tournament. Learned a lot again and had really nice opponents. The last one was a bit sour and cheecky till he found out i was tableing him, then he turned a bit and decided to play friendly, but wasn’t the most fun game. The losses before were way more fun because we were helping each other out and made the best of it.

 

the club tournament is still going and i have two play two more games. For the next round i can change 10% of the list. I want to swap one unit of wulfen for skyclaws or wulfguard with axes&meltas (not sure yet) and the intercessors for another unit of infiltrators.
