First game was objective game where fast attack units were able to score but didn't award victory points if destroyed. Objectives in an enemy deployment zone awarded three points and in everywhere else only one point. Linebreaker gave two points in this mission. I was set up againts Imperial guard. Four objectives were set. One in his deployment zone and three in neutral territory. IG had one Leman russ, one barrage tank (don't remember the name of it), four veteran squad with Chimeras and lots of plasma, some basic footmen and two Vendettas. He got the first round but didn't manage to damage me at all on his first round and so I got the first blood by destroying his barrage tank and some infatry squad. Wave serpents did good job as usual. And so did the scatter laser War walkers. His troops were swarming from reserve but I managed to keep up the phase and destroy them as they walked in. Only real threat were Vendettas, as I didn't have any antiair guns. Once again Wave serpents stepped up and due to twinlinked scatter lasers and the awesome shield shooting I got them down too. I won the game with victory points 8-3. He managed to kill my warlord and had one guardsman in my deployment zone and got the two point linebreaker. That lonely guardsman was his only survivor.
Second game was a relic game. But in this game the relic was in a skimmer, which moved across the field 12" per game turn. This time my opponent was Chaos space marines. 9 nurgle Obliterators, nurgle Lord with bike, nurgle... some beast things ( don't remember their name either), 5 Cultists groups and two Helldrakes. We had some trouble killing each other and the first blood was awarded in third round. And Chaos was the one who got it. It was pretty even game until the Helldrakes came aboard. They just destroyed all my troops like they were nothing. After round four I didn't have any troops left and the score was 2-0. Didn't look good. Obviously. My only purpose for the remainder of the game was to keep victory point difference as small as possible. And I did manage to do well on that part. On last turn, I unleashed all I had left on his Lord, who had trait that he can score (so he had picked up the relic with the lord) and did get him to one wound. Then I had to try some desperate move and charge with my second Farseer. But the seer had seen the future. Against all the odds, he managed to slay the chaos Lord and make him drop the relic. I lost, but only 2-1.
Third game was basic kill 'em all game. Opponend had Khorne themed chaos space marine with Imperial guard back up. IG had huge mass of guardsmen. I think it was 30 strong squad or something. And ofcourse, a Vendetta. CSM part had two squads of Khorne berserkers, a Lord with juggernaut, Havoc group with missile launchers and a Vindicator. From this game there isn't really much to tell. Fortune had come on my side for this battle and my every jink save was succesful and huge amount of shots did the rest. I won 10-3, leaving the opponent only Guardsmen and a Vendetta alive.
I finished third. There were three players with the same score of two victories and one loss but I had the best victory point score so I placed third. And even I'm happy with the placement I still feel this wasn't the best I could do.
First of all I really need to get some antiair. Easy option would be aegis defence line with guadqun, but I'm not sure if I want to use that. I've been thinking of changing the Scorpions to Crimson hunter.
And the second thing is that the Scorpions don't fit in my playstyle with this set up. I think they are a good unit, but just don't have a real role in my hands. Or maybe I'm just using them wrong. But anyway, I need something to do with those Helldrakes. Wounding 2+ on everything I have and not giving any saves, not even cover, is too tough to just ignore.
That's all about now. I'll try to get some photos of my Dark Angels soon.
