Hey everyone, I put together a tournament recap from a three Round 2000 Pt event last Saturday.
I'll be doing a mini write up of the event as I know many of you prefer that format. Very awesome to see Nids hitting the podium in our local community.
As always, it was a fantastic day of gaming. Big shout out to the TO for setting it all up and to all of the competitors for making the event so enjoyable.

Ok so have some time to give a quick write up on what I faced and a quick outline of the matches. Here is the final scores for my games
Tyranids 92 - 42 Grey Knights
Tyranids 54 - 64 Death Guard
Tyranids 94 - 35 Grey Knights
GAME #1 VS Grey Knights
Right away I felt very confident going into this matchup. I had never played GK ever before but have seen them a lot in reports (though pre 9th). His list had a bunch of strike force guys, two term units and some paladins. Draigo, Voldus, and a Grandmaster in the giant dread body thing as well. Being they are outdated and are all 1W and 2W models, this made me feel even better with my Zoeys. The table was pretty bare so I changed my plans from Psychic Ritual to Assassinate as 15 pts were on the table.
Secondary Objectives
Tyranids
Engage on All Fronts
Deploy Scramblers
Assassinate
Grey Knights
Assassinate
Engage on All Fronts
Grind Them Down
I won first turn and right from here I had control of the match. I wiped out two units of x5 Strike Force guys, a unit of terms, and used my biovores to move block his grandmaster behind a building in his deployment. From here he struggled to catch up or take control of the board. I used the Kronos Strat to deny his Gate of Infinity teleport move all game unit turn 4 when he moved his grandmaster by my Zoeys. They simply tanked the damage and then smited him down.
In the end I only lost my Hive Tyrant, a unit of gants, and the Dima. Leviathan did wonders to keep my gants holding onto the objectives. I would have maxed on points but had to give up engage T1 for positioning.
