TOURNAMENT...but not THAT exciting...

Over this past Saturday, I attended a tournament at Dragon's Lair and had my 4th, 5th, and 6th game with the new Eldar codex. I had one of the 3 fully painted armies at the tournament. There was a total of 6 people there. Whoo.

My first game was good, vs. my old rival [Jason] who plays a Mech. IG list. It was a long and drawn out battle, fun and very close. It ended with me being crushingly defeated.

2nd game. Game vs. another long time rival [Tib] who was playing his Tau. I made MANY mistakes in this game and it ended with me conceding. I killed a pathfinder squad, half of a firewarrior squad and 3 stealthsuits. He left me with 3 Exarchs [lieutenants] and an immobilized Falcon [my Gunship...].

3rd game. Game vs. ANOTHER rival [Sherman], who has recently traded in his Ork army for a Witch Hunters army. It was an intense battle, with me taking the lead slightly in points [considering a 396 squad makes up most of my points...] and resulting in a Draw.

Odd things about this tournament:
1) I fought all old opponents, many good friends. The 2 other "new" people I never did fight / really meet.
2) Game 1 = Warp Spiders roll a 10" deviation on deep strike. Off the board by 0.5"
Game 2 = Warp Spiders roll a 9" deviation on deep strike. Off the board by 0.25"
Game 3 = Warp Spiders come on and destroy a Chimera. Vindicare Assassain kills exarch and pins them.
Warp Spiders...Good unit, Bad day....
3) I took 6th place with a score of 69.6. I could have raised this if I had not forgot my "fluff" at home and may have taken 3rd.

I did pick up a box of 10 Dire Avengers and will have more points to play with soon in my new army lists.
