Tournament Report - 40k 3rd Ed

 Hello Folks,

This past Sunday I got the chance to play in a 3rd ed Warhammer 40k tournament! I decided to take Necrons to change things up a bit, also no one seemed to be playing them so good for variety.

I tried to shy away from to many warriors and immortals to make it a bit more fun to play against, so took the Deceiver, some wraith, and pariahs. This makes phase out much more of a risk so takes things fien a notch. Pretty happywith how things worked out.

Meat grinder vs Imperial Guard

First game I was defending in meat grinder vs the guard. They have to phase me out or lose.

Here's the set up. My plan is to hide my warriors and lord behind the barn away from pesky tank shots that might give the guard a chance, and distract with my chaff units like the deceiver?

Wraith charging snipers, can't have the shooting any Catan, flayed ones advance. Oh and the scarab wat a demolisher turret. Dint like those either.

Guard advance doing de ent damage but all necrons i cured get back up.

Tomb spider snacks on a hellhound.

Flayed ones eating units.

Eventually the guard are loosing units and can't even attack my unkillable warrior blob so throw in the towel.

The Relic vs Sisters

Game vs the ladies, control the relic and you win, will my very slow no vehicles army get punished?

Turn 1 just walking.

Turn 2 reserves, I put allot on the right due to warriors on the left.

Sisters immedstly find the relic close to their side, oh dear.

Start closing in the noose, but we are turn 3 already!

Sisters block a gap with a tank like the 300 or some shit.

Sisters taking a pounding, but the relic is moving away as fast as I can advance.

Final push, the deceiver uses his deception to make the sister with the the relic take a morale test, going for a tie, but they easily pass.

Pitched Battle vs White Scars

This game became very interesting, so somewhat less pictures, plus late in the day.

Necrons deploy in standard formation, blod on a side, toys on the other bit of a refused flank i guess. White Scars mostly on reserve except landraider with terminators and librarian and a rhino. Cool to see librarian,very rare choice in 3rd.

Wraith fighting a 5 man marine squad, flayed ones up front fighting bikers, and sneaky bikers fighting my back line.

The back bikers did some good damage, but the pariah kill allot including the power fist sgt. Unfortunately next turn they wiff vs the hammer commander and die. 

Terminators clean the flayed ones, my lord charges the commander but also wife's and eventually dies.

On the other hand the deceiver eats the raider, and all the terminators including the librarian. But its not enough Mc. Hammer kills exactly enough warriors and immortals phase out! Back to the tombs!

Very fun tournament. I think I succeeded making the Necrons scary but still fun to play against, ok maybe not game 1 but I don't choose the scenarios! Otherwise all good.

Now what army to play next time??

Thanks;

Mike
