RTT Tournament Results

This last weekend I took my Eldar "big boy" list to a Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader Tournament just north of where I live. 

The organizers scheduled it long before Pariah Nexus and new FAQs were announced and decided to keep the missions and rules for Leviathan even though they were just released. Because of the hype for Pariah Nexus and the new Balance Data Slate, a lot of players dropped and skipped the whole event.

I thought it would be fun to bring my double Wraithknight and Yncarne list to try my luck and see what happens. It needs a little luck when drawing tactical objectives because it struggles scoring primary. Long story short, it's fun but not a great tournament list.

Spoiler alert- it didn't go well!

My first match was against a great Dark Eldar list (and great player too!) I set up to go first, as my usual strategy for this list, and I got pantsed! I didn't score a single point and I was tabled by turn 3. 100-10

My second match was against a newer player from way out of town who brought a slightly different Drukhari list. I faired better, but lost 81-43. 

In game three, I faced a brand new player with his Squat, nay Leagues of Votann, army. I barely won 73 to 63 and had my name added to the book of Grudges. I could have easily lost this game too but I had a good draw and was able to score cards when I pulled them from the tactical deck.
