The other guy
05-25-2011, 03:21 PM
I went to Throne Of Skulls in April, and managed a respectable 2wins, 2draws and a loss. This was my first ever tournament, and my first time with the army (save a practice game after registering for the tourney).
Game 1 – win against terminator heavy Space Wolves. He had 12 models inc 2 landraders. I wiped whole army off the board.
Game 2 – Loss against Close Combat Dark Eldar (They got into combat before I could shoot them) The guy played better then me. He won overall best Dark Eldar player.
Game 3 - Draw against Tau, but I was lucky to get that. He out-shot my shooty army. I should have assaulted him, but I was too focused on shooting. It was capture and control, and just managed to hold mine, while he comfortably held his.
Game 4 – Draw against Chaos Space Marines. Close game. Objectives. End turn 5 im winning. End turn 6 He is winning. End turn 7 and Game is drawn.
Game 5 – Win against Space marines. Easy win, bad deployment by opponent. Took out all his tanks turn 1, kept raiders out of his range and just shot unit after unit to death.
Things I learned –
1 – I have practically no close combat. The Archon only got into combat twice in 5 games.
2 – Night Shields did save many ships from short-range fire. Flicker Fields also were vital.
3 – I lost less raiders then I expected.
4 – I had almost too much Anti-tank.
5 – Having lots of troop is great. Many opponents were focusing on taking out troop in objective games, rather than possessing the objectives.
THEREFOR –
Please can you look at my two lists, and see if you think I should make changes.
