Hi all,
I am currently sitting in Bugmans Bar after my first game against a Draigo-wing Paladin list which I just barely lost to. I would have won 20 - 5 (max points) if his damn Paladins had not made so many invuln saves, even one more failed would have turned it. As it is I lost and I enjoyed it thoroughly and seeing as it is my first proper tournament game against Paladins for the first time and in killpoints and commanded by a man who competed in the Masters I am happy.
Quick run down was that he deployed centrally with Paladins and Draigo in Dawn of War deployment while I walked everything on first turn. Nothing much until turn 4 when I charged his huge Paladin unit (10 man) with a Libby and Draigo in with about 40 gaunts and 2 Tervigons with Paroxysm support. It was a close fight but I won by 3 but he passed his leadership with none to spare. This was my plan overall ruined, I won if he failed but lost if he passed. The game was decided there and although I can name what went badly and what would have turned it for me we both had our share of bad luck and he did a damn fine job of leaving my Hive Tyrant out of combat.
Overall, an amazing start.
