Yesterday, I played in a nice 18-person RTT in Kansas City (nay, Independence) at the Games Cafe, run by Away Games.
I neglected to take any pictures, but Away Games run amazing tournaments and every table has pro painted terrain from Big Bear 3D and uses the GW Open terrain rules and placement. *Chef's kiss* I'll post some of their pics when they get them posted.
I brought a slightly altered version of my Deathwing list that included a unit of Incursors. The Incursors are there to help earn a few precious secondary points from Stubborn Defiance. Without a scouting unit, Dark Angels can only score 10 out of 15 points in that secondary and I thought they would be able to see me through. However, 5 primaris guys are easy to kill in the current meta and in one mission, you can forward deploy so they were kind of a bust. I would have been better off not bringing them, keeping my 2 command points, and not trying to score any Dark Angel or Space Marine secondaries. I need to stick to Raise the Banners High, Grind them Down, and then wildcard my last secondary.
In the first round, I played an Ultamarine list with Guilliman. I won 84-69, but it was actually kind of closer than the score reflects.
In the second round, I was wiped out in turn 5 by Necrons and the 3 C'tan list. They scored all of the points, dropped mortal wounds from the stars, and had their way with my army. Ug.
In my third game, I drew with Joe and his Genestealer Cult army I played in a GT not to long ago. Great game and we added up the points twice to make sure. (We should have checked one more time... I mistakenly marked a point down that I shouldn't have but Joe caught it.)
1-1-1.
There was some great news at the end though, I won best painted! That made my day!
I think I'm going to focus on my Wolves for the time being.
