Imperial Outpost 2000 Point Tournament, Game 3

For the final game, I played against Christian and his Imperial Guard. It was a short, fairly terrible game for me, the firepower that Christian had was enough to get through a Wraithguard Squad a turn, then mop everything else up, I only had 4 Pathfinders at the end, and no objectives.

Overall, my first tournament experience go to well for me, but my opponents were nice, and it was well run. Many thanks to Imperial Outpost for putting it on.

The second game of the tournament was against Andre (someone that I talk to a fair bit, but have yet to play a game against). Andre was playing a Tyranid army that I believe he picked up fairly recently. It was a neat list, where everything was able to Deep Strike. 2 Hive Tyrants, 42 Gargoyles, 3 Zoanthrope, Doom of Malan-tai, and about 7 Warriors.

The Doom was the star and was able to kill the majority of the Wraithguard of one squad, while the other was locked in with the shooty Hive Tyrant. The Wraithlords did well, managing to kill 3 Zoanthropes, a Hive Tyrant, and 34 or so Gargoyles.

Andre beat me in this one pretty well, the only remaining units were 2 Wraithlords with 1 wounds.

Imperial Outpost 2000 Point Tournament, Game 1

I played in my first tournament at my favorite game store, Imperial Outpost April 14, 2012. I did terrible, but I didn't really expect to do well.

The tournament was interesting due to the special "envelopes" that everyone received. When a certain stipulation on the envelope was reached, you got a bonus that correlated to the stipulation. I believe it was based on Risk: Legacy.

Anyways, for my list, I brought the following:

Farseer: Fortune, Doom, Spirit Stones, Runes of Warding

Avatar

Wraithguard x10: Spiritseer, Conceal

Wraithguard x10: Spiritseer, Conceal

Wraithlord: Brightlance, EML

My first game was against Bill and his Necrons. He had lots of Scarabs (I believe 16 by the time they charged), as well as 2 Monoliths, and a C'tan.

The highlight of this game involved my Avatar. While at his full wounds, he charged a squad of Warriors in front of the Monolith, then used sweeping advance and ran them down. That met one of the requirements on an envelope, and opening reveled that he gained Rage. So, to consolidate, I was forced to consolidate in front of the Monolith, which promptly sucked him in to the doorway.

I thought I might have a chance with this one, but made a lot of mistakes. Bill won by a fair margin.
