So a few days ago I hosted a 40k tournament at my house for my friends and me. The 4 of us played a round robin tourny, (everyone plays everyone).
Each game was subject to normal mission and deployment type rules, so we roled to see which mission and which deployment type. The winner of the tournament was to be decided by overall score according to the following rules:
Win: 10 points
Tie: 5 points
Loss: 0 points
4 different armies were brought to the gaming tables, Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Necrons. (I played Space Marines). Each army played a 1000pts. list previously put together.

Round #1
Space Marines
VS
Eldar
Deployment: Dawn of War
Mission type: Annihilation
Game Summary: The Eldar used their mind powers to to win the roll off and decided it was in the best interest for the space marines to deploy and go first. The first turn there were know eldar to shoot at but when their turn came around they popped the space marine vindicator. The space marines, being angered by this retaliated by destroying an eldar wave serpent. The eldar soon discovered they had been outmatched when they found themselves trapped in a corner.
Winner: Space Marines w/. 5 kill points Eldar w/. 2 kill points
End of game picture.
Necrons
VS
Orks
Deployment: Pitched battle
Mission type: Seize ground w/. 4 objectives
Game Summary: The ork hoards moved across the barren fields of a planet in a near by system searching for imperial outposts to raid, instead they found something dark and unknown. They had set foot on a Necron tomb world and when their presence was discovered the dark warriors of the necrons rose. The orks however were prepared for a fight and were not deterred. The necrons advanced toward the green tide of orks cutting down ranks of the enemy. But the endless tide of green proved to much for the necrons and they soon found themselves surrounded with out much hope of victory.
Winner: Orks w/. 2 objectives Necrons w/. 0 objectives
End of game picture.
Round #2
Necrons
VS
Space Marines
Deployment: Spear head
Mission type: seize ground w/. 3 objectives
Game Summary: On a remote world protected by the Imperial Guard a dark enemy rose from the sands of time to feed the hunger of their dark gods, the local space marine chapter the ultra swords learned of this attack after losing contact with the Imperial guard defenders, and so launched a counter attack. The ultra swords landed on the battle torn outskirts of the city, where they quickly fortified their position. The Necron forces moved to attack the new enemy but when they came within range found the space marines to well fortified and only managed to few kills before their fate was decided.
Winner: Space Marines w/. 2 objectives Necrons fazed out on turn 7.
End of Game Picture.
Eldar
VS
Orks
Deployment: Pitched battle
Mission type: Annihilation
Game Summary: The hoards led by a fierce warboss attacked a small planet hoping for a fight, they got more than they asked for. They new the fight had arrived when the eldar web way gate activated and an eldar army came forth. The eldar were ready but underestimated the ferociousness of the orks and lost a squad of guardians to slugga fire, they would not make the same mistake twice. The eldar using their mind powers coaxed the orks into following their fast vehicles in circles, the ork hoard was soon reduced from a green tide to a green mess.
Winner: Eldar w/. 6 kill points Orks w/. 1 kill point
End of game picture
Round #3
Space Marines
VS
Orks
Deployment: Spearhead
Mission type: Capture and Control w/. 2 objectives
Game summary: The space marines defended the fields outside their city with great fierceness and vigor but the onslaught of the orks was greater. The space decided to set up dependable positions and charge the enemy base of opporations. The attack went in the space marines favor as they only lost a single marine but the orks did manage to inflict great amounts of damage on the marines' vehicles immobilizing the dreadnought and the vindicator the space moved closer to the enemy encampment which was now only protected by a squad of boyz, and some deff koptaz. The Space marine captain charged his razorback transport into the mass of ork boyz in an attempt to disorientate them but their leader had trained them well and the razorback was destroyed leaving the commander to fight the green tide in vicious close combat.
Winner: Tie game Space marines w/. 1 objective Orks w/. 1 objective.
End of Game Picture
Eldar
VS
Necrons
Deployment: Dawn of war
Mission type: Capture and control w/. 2 objectives
Game Summary: Again the eldar mind powers proved themselves against yet another foe. The Necrons charged the bulk of their forces up the center of the field to capture a vital position while they sent their destroyers along the left side and the scarab swarms up the right. The Eldar, fearing death targeted the destroyer squad wiping them out. The warriors and lord in the center held their ground and repairing all wounds with ease. The Eldar frustrated with the necrons resilience targeted their leader destroying all his wounds. But this necron lord was stronger than they thought, he repaired his wounds stood back up at full strength. The Eldar forgot the scarab swarms along the side of the board allowing them to glance the hek out of their fire prism wrecking it and then to move on and immobilize a waveserpent. The necrons had held their ground long enough and were confident about the victory when the Eldar launched a final but desperate assault on the mass of Necron warriors to contest their objective.
Winner: Eldar w/. 1 objective Necrons w/. 0 objectives
End of game Picture
Tournament results:
1st Space Marines w/. 25 pts.
2nd Eldar w/. 20 pts.
3rd Orks w/. 15 pts.
4th Necrons w/. 0 pts.
The winner of the tournament receives bragging rights for a month.
After the tourny we all agreed that the MVP HQ award should be given to the necron Lord for shrugging off the fire power of my entire space marine army twice to just get back up with 2 wounds and then in a later game to shrugg off the attacks of the Eldar multiple times and to get back up with full health twice in the same game.
Congrats to my friend the Necron player as these were among the first of his actual games.
All in all we had fun and played very good games.
