- 5 Tesla Immortals
- 5 Gauss Immortals
- Void Shield Generator (3x void shields)
I was able to secure 2nd place as best general, 1st place as most impressive army and that net me the General Champion of the event trophy!
My objective #1 is Baby Wraith, he likes to hang around with his pet scarabs.
Nassayan the Destroyer Lord, responsible for leading the charge with his Wraith escort under the overview of Autharok.
Autharok on his Reaper Raiment was eager to oversee the tests of his new artillery pieces.
Dakhma Immortals with Tesla to hold back objectives on my end of the table.
The mandatory Warrior horde of the Reclamation Legion. These guys never fail to suck up damage and in one game managed to tie several Tau suits with Commander Farsight for three rounds!
The Dakhma Blades are essential to capture objectives across the table, even charging into combat to tie in dangerous foes.
The zealous Canoptek Lamprey keeps a close watch on the other constructs.
The pride of the legion: The three Canoptek Tentillas (sentry pylons counts-as) with Focused Death Rays. By far the most killer pieces of the entire tournament, point-by-kill.
The Void Shield Generator to keep my beauties safe.
Round 1 vs Blood Angels
Total Victory
MVP: Pylons, eating away the entirey of his armor and the contents within.
Memorable moment: Immortals glancing down the Dread.
Round 2 vs Innari
Total Victory
MVP: Scarabs tying up his deathstar for most of the game.
Second MVP: A Tyranid spire that funneled his Deathstar into scarab wall!
Memorable Moment: Splitting his forces across the table to deny Soulburst actions and my opponent complaining that I hadn't killed any of his units at key points to deny that as well!
Round 3 vs Space Marines
Total Defeat
MVP: Autharok on his Reaper Raiment, charging again and again to try and keep some slim chance of victory after losing all three artillery pieces on round 1.
Memorable moment: That initial bike engagement. It caught me by surprize and cost me the game. Well played Khan!
Round 4 vs Black Templars
Total Victory
MVP: Sentry Pylons, eating all his soft armor support (land raiders are tough) and clearing away every last one of the Black Templar assault mob.
Memorable Moment: Nassayan Charge on assault Terminators, cutting them down to the last man in a single round of combat.
Round 5 vs T'au
Total Victory
MVP: Void Shield Generator for eating the entirety of his first round of shooting and forcing Farsight and his Killsquad to deal with it on Turn 2.
Memorable moment: Turn 2 Necron Assault Phase when every warrior available multi-charged several Tau Suits, negating their threat, at the same time the two Tomb Blade units across the field charged even more T'au suits. We remaigned locked in combat to the very end.
