Hello everyone,
I actually got in two games today with some good friends.
I first played a capture and control game against Necrons which went better than expected but worse than I would like. It ended in a tie after his monolith wiped out most of my men. That thing has unreasonable staying power; it lived through 6 lascannon hits, 8 missile launcher hits, 2 demolisher hits, and 1 Earthshaker hit and all I managed to do was immobilize it.
I managed to tie by contesting his point with a single guardsmen locked into close combat with 21 necrons at games' end (he will be given special honors).
My second game was against Tyranids and it was an all out blood bath. He "won" by virtue of killing more squads but the real victory goes to Guard who killed far more units. Curse my many squads, I think you should have to kill the entire troop choice to gain a point in annihilation.
Anyway, thought I'd keep everyone posted.
