Tournament report part 4

The final part of my tournament report, and of course the final round. At the moment I've got 1 win from round 1 (5pts), and a lose from round 2 (2pts). Last round luckily no one won their game from my store, best we got was a draw and that was only by 1 person. 

My last game was against a ravenwing army, with deathwing and scout reinforcements. His list was roughly:

- Sammael

- Terminator chaplain

- Ravenwing command, ravenwing banner, ravenwing champion and apothecary

- 3 ravenwing bikes with a plasma gun

- 3 ravenwing bikes with a plasma gun

- 3 ravenwing bikes with a plasma gun and a multi melta attack bike

- 10 scouts with snipers and camo acloaks

- 5 deathwing terminators with assault cannon

Deployment was hammer and anvil (diagonal) with purge the alien (kill points) and night fighting (but that had no effect), i had first turn and deployed right on the edge of my deployment zone, flyers obviously in reserves. He deployed all of his bikes and infiltrated his full squad of scouts into a building on my board edge just out of my deployment zone. He then proceeded to sieze the initiative on me, yes that's right 2 games in a row.

Turn 1:

Ravenwing used their scout move as well, he moved his bikes forward. Deathwing terminators and terminator chaplain used deathwing assault to deep strike turn 1 and didn't scatter using the ravenwing command squad's teleport homer. Shooting and with none of my units in cover, 2 annihilation barges go down and he might of done a HP to a ghost ark. Scouts do absolutely nothing.

Oh dear, turn 1 and I'm already on the back foot. I move my vehicles slightlu backwards, and my shooting takes out his bike squad with attack bike and 2 from another squad, also some of the command squad.

Turn 2:

Everything moves in closer, apart from the scout squad. I was a bit luckier this turn as he only does a few HP here and there. No charges this turn.

Only my overlord and immortals come in, with their night scythe transport. Shooting kills the rest of the ravenwing command squad and sammael, and almost the rest of his ravenwing. 

Turn 3:

He claims that his snipers are S3 rending, so they can damage my flyer, I say they can't, but the likely good of home doing anything to my flyers his unlikely so I let it pass. His scouts don't do anything to my flyer anyway, remaining ravenwing move but don't do any damage. Finally his deathwing finish off my last annihilation barge.

My last flyer doesn't come on. I drop my immortals and overlord off into his deployment zone for linebreaker, we have another dispute here apparently I didn't make it clear that it was immortals and overlord in that night scythe, but he lets it pass. Shooting and kill his remaing ravenwing, but only mange to kill 1 scout in building, he makes something like 4 out of 5 3+ cover saves.

Turn 4:

His sniper scouts again don't move and no damage. His terminators move over and their assault cannon penetrates my ghost ark with the destructek in, but living metal saves the damage, but my quantum shielding has gone.

My other night scythe comes on with the warriors inside, the night scythe on the board flies off. Some movement but not much, shooting and I kill 1 terminator and 1 scout, not great. 

Turn 5:

Terminators move into assault range of my damaged ghost ark. Scouts shoot at my immortals and kill 1, but don't pin them, the immortal doesn't stand back up. His terminators assault my damaged ghost ark and wreck it, because the terminator chaplain struck before the power fists at S6. My warriors and destructek do an emergency disembarkation 6 inches away from it.

Night scythe comes back on and lines up the terminators, warriors disembark and target the scouts. Shooting I kill 2 more terminators, then my destructek shoots his S8 AP1 shot at the terminators, since his terminator chaplain was now the closest he took the wound. He failed his look out sir and then his 4++, his remaing 2 terminators pass morale and I fail to finish them off. Other shooting goes into the scouts killing 2 more, but they hold. The game ends on turn 5 and I win by a fair margin.

Sadly the player from my store who drawn his second game won his last game, meaning he took overall store champion. My second game opponent went 3-0 but lost out to a tau player with a higher painting score. I personally got 16/20 for my painting, my best result for painting to date. Part 5 and I'll put some photos up of te other armies, that shouldn't be too hard for me, at least I hope so.
