greetings all,
saturday we had another tourney at the LGS, only six players this time, 2000 points, 2 FOCs and 2x allies if you wanted to.
i used 2 FOCs to squeeze in a venomthrope.
here my list, condensed:
swarm lord with one tyrant guard
flying hive tyrant with TL devourers, toxin
doom in a pod
2x hive guard
3x zoanthrope
1x venomthrope
tervigon with 2 extra psi powers, TS and AG
5 genestealers with toxin, upgrade one to BL with STs
18 devilgants
12 hormies with TS and AG
3 raveners
trygon with toxin
first game was against grey knights with blood angel allies, minor win for me due to time being called before he could load up his storm raven to contest one objective. great game though, hive tyrant with one wound lived way longer then he should have and caused trouble in the back field, devilgants torrented a bunch of termies to death and him dropping the death company with BA libby into my lines turned out not to be such a good plan after all, the swarm lord and the raveners made short work of them.
game 3 was a nice, close game against daemons with chaos marine allies, one objective in each deployment zone and we wound up holding the objectives that were NOT in our zone, minor victory because i claimed first blood (54 devourer shots against a unit of screamers tend to sting a bit)
but now for my smack down, game 2. i played against Justin with his space marines with space wolf allies. my god, it was ugly.
lysander
5 assault termies with TH/SS
5 stern guard with a few combi meltas
10x scouts with camo cloaks, sniper rifles and a ML
6x scouts with camo cloaks, sniper rifles and a ML
3x storm talon, two with TL las cannon, one with skyhammer rockets
3x thunderfire cannons
2x rune priests
10 grey hunters in drop pod, 2x melta, banner, wulfen
he took 3 ruins and beefed them up with his tech marines and for his war lord trait he rolled +1 cover in ruins, so everything in those ruins had 2+ cover. his thunder fire cannons ignored the first round of night fighting and wiped out the gants and gaunts and everything the tervigon pooped out, the scouts and storm talons methodically eliminated everything else. my only little claim to fame was the flying hive tyrant, he took out two of the fliers and survived the battle along with the outflanking stealers that hid the entire time.
and his rune priests did a great job of shutting down my psi stuff while zapping me with living lightning and giving re rolls to scouts with prescience.
a crushing defeat of 14-6 in kill points, i only took out 2 cannons, grey hunters with pod and the 2 fliers.
still came in 3rd though and had a great time. time to maybe think about some counter cheese
