2000 pt tourney, standard FOC. Mission-specific point system for victory, with overall Killpoint tallies for tie-breaking purposes.
My list:
HQ
CCS--4x plasma, plasma pistol on commander, Astropath, carapace, chimera.
TROOPS
Infantry Platoon
-PCS w/ flamer and chimera (eh. kept him relatively cheap)
-2x Infantry Squad--autocannon HWT in each, each in chimera
-2x SWT w/ 3 demo charges each
-2x melta vets squad, demolitions doctrine, one of them has chimera (they typically ride in vendettas)
-1x plasma vets squad, grenadiers doctrine, chimera.
FAST ATTACK
Vendetta
Vendetta
HEAVY SUPPORT
2x Medusae w/ bastion breachers
Hydra
Manticore
GAME 1--Drawhammer, DoW
My opponent: 'nilla Marines
Synopsis: bloody battle, and I HATE DoW with a passion. I didn't even bother shooting on turn 1. But in the end, I triumphed. He made the mistake of leaving the objective in his DZ unguarded, so at the bottom of turn 5, as he was contesting my objective, my vendetta w/ a spent SWT hauled ass and took his.
Result: Major Victory. Not only did I control his objective (and he controlled none), I beat him by two killpoints.
GAME 2--Seize Ground, Pitched Battle
My opponent: Space Wolves. F--k.
Synopsis: In every tourney I've been in, there's always one battle that hurts the most. This was it, because not only was I up against anti-mech long fang spam, but in placement of the objectives, MOST of them ended up being placed on his side of the table. I went second, so I attempted ninja tactics and put my entire army in reserve. Didn't work out too well, but it probably would have gone worse if I started with everything on the table. I came on strong in turn 2 with my vendettas deep striking and out flanking and dropping SWTs who demo charged the crap out of two of his three LF squads, but in the end, it wasn't enough.
Result: Massacred. My ass still hurts.
GAME 3--ANNIHILATION!!!!!!, Spearhead
My opponent: Necrons
Synopsis: Got first turn. All he had on his side were two warrior squads, one with a Necron Lord attached, a squad of destroyers, and the Deceiver; everything else was in reserve. Did a Vendetta Alpha Strike with both Vendettas, dropping my SWTs right in front of his warrior squads, and I proceeded to demo charge the crap out of both, taking out both squads. He failed his WWBB roll on his Lord, so the rez orb was gone, resulting in a turn 1 phase-out. Huh.
Result: um...I won.
Overall ranking: I got 3rd. The SW player who handed me my ass in game 2 got 1st, and my friend who plays BA (not the guy who I wrote about in a previous bat rep) got 2nd. Overall, I had fun.
