Round 1 - Patrick from Montreal, Daemons
Two Soul Grinders with Phlegm, 7 Plaguebeaers, 8 Plaguebearers. Very casual game, because I saw the writing on the wall. With one marine left in each combat squad, I fall 1/16" short of the second objective I needed to win, and I lose on VP tiebreakers.
Round 2 - Kevin from 11th company, IG.
I know I'm about to get rolled by IG, so I try to make a game of it. Our Weapons are Useless is a completely hilarious rule, as my Dreadnought swam into a 20-man blob that couldn't kill him.
The tale of Marbo in this game must be told. Marbo shows up, kills 3 marines with the demo charge and the remaining two marines go to ground. Next turn, Marbo shoots one on the in, kills the second in assault. Then Marbo turns around and kills my Techmarine manning the Thunderfire. Somewhere in there, I started rooting for Marbo.
Round 3 - K thanks, Bye.
So I win a game!
Round 4 - Stephanie from Montreal, Tyranids
She brings lots of Tyranid models, and my only chance is to know no fear. I decide the Gargoyles must die and I line up across from them praying to the Emperor for one good turn of shooting; otherwise I lose hard. I use my Dreadnought to hold off the Hormagaunts. Termagaunts claim the Thunderfire cannon, as Genestealers outflank 1" from me. BUGS!! If the game had gone longer, I would have still been overrun by bugs, with three Warriors strolling across the board too. My shooting was enough to win the day by about 100 VPs.
Round 5 - John, Chaos Space Marines
Two Noise Marine squads, and a 4 man Terminator blob that deep struck. This was the rare game for me in which everything came up Milhouse. Chose the far better board edge for the mission, and the Thunderfire cannon was devastating. I played as a gunline, taking advantage of my opponent's aggression. My Dreadnought actually kills things in close combat, first time all day.
I think if my opponent started the Terminators on the board, I would have had a harder time dealing with them *and* the Noise Marine dakka.
