Lord Hanaur Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 yup. IN addition, pics and videos of the top table will be made available as well. I'm pretty wiped out from yesterday so I will get to it as soon as I can but I am going to take a Dungeons and Dragons vacaton today. =) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 http://www.40kambassadors.com/coverage.php Thanks much :) I'm curious about the DA list that took the middle bracket, nice to see them do well. Have fun on the Vay-cay :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 The lists ARE on the site and were posted a day or two before so people could strategize. Westryder and Chancy did so. Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 That DA list is interesting. Pure footslogging DA without TDA or Bikes. Very iffy list, IMO, but he took the prize for the middle bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 3rd Place. Yup. The player himself is an impressive General who has won countless tournaments, so it is no surprise to those who know him. He's just flat good. He and his twin brother, the Eldar player, are both extremely good, though as WestRyder proved, the Wave spam code has been cracked and in your face drop pods or other transports round 1 makes for a tough day at the office for the WaveSpammers. Both were at OFCC this year as well so you might know them. Ed and Greg Skewis? One of them took my place on our team this year sicne I was unable to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgosaurusrex Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I was the Eldar player, and my brother (Ed) was the Dark Angels player. Ed normally uses the Space Marine codex for his battle company as they are painted up as Ultramarines, but when he got around to registering the Space Marine faction had already been spoken for. So I convinced him to throw in a Banner of Devastation and call it a Dark Angels army, lol. My game vs. WestRider was very tough. I was planning on forcing him to drop in one corner of the board then zooming away to pick him off at a distance, but he thwarted my plan and was able to get a solid victory. I know I could have played that game better if I was more aggressive but he simply outplayed me. Maybe next year my Eldar will finally take 1st place! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, looks like he did pretty good with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgosaurusrex Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 It's a very similar list to the one he took to OFCC, so he definitely has a lot of practice with it. It's not very mobile but a lot of armies can't deal with that many scoring bodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I fought a nigh identical list a couple years ago at OFCC with Tau. Pinning was key to victory then. Tau can't pin you down like they used to though. I'd have to go a different route in 7E methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tau can't pin you down like they used to though. I'd have to go a different route in 7E methinks. They can't pin like they used to, but they can certainly deny cover and armor much more efficiently. I think you could do it, but I'm not sure riptide spam is the answer, partially just because it's so common that everyone has them in mind for list creation.

Well my normal list, which was the last one I brought to OFCC, has two Riptides in it. and you're right: Dark Eldar, for example, had little difficulty killing both off in two rounds, though they managed serious damage in their brief time on earth. I have been on record as saying that Riptides are not necessary to win but that they are quite good. I have not needed more than two. Two seems ideal. I like having the TL Melta/Flamer Crisis Team in the list and I tend not to use multiple detachments when I can avoid it. So i don't think i'll ever get around to using more than 2, unless its like a rare apocalypse battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I have to say, I'm particularly proud of my showing since I had no practice games with this list, and my first game ever with a drop list for any army was less than a week before the tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I do think both you and the DA player had pretty good luck with he match ups. Not saying they were effortless. You did win fair and square.

WestRider Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 It's more than just the list. The guy who was running Daemons is really good, and he had me on the ropes for a while. If it weren't for a couple of my GH going totally nuts on his Nurglings in the last 3 Turns, he would have had it. The second round, against MT, was an easy one, no argument there. Even if he hadn't gotten screwed by his Reserves, I was confident in that one. That Eldar list was a brutal one, tho. That Army was actually my biggest concern of any list there. If I'd let up the pressure at any point, he easily could have turned it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I had the tools to do something, but it's far from a hard counter. There were all sorts of things that could have turned that Game around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are nurglings scoring in this edition, or why have them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
