i paired with an eldar player for a doubles tourney Saturday. 1k points per player and sharing a FOC.
eldar:
eldrad and 6 guardians
8 banshees in a wave serpent
4 dark reapers plus exarch and the weapon thats ap3 blast 2 ignores cover
wraithlord
orks:
big mek, KFF, PK, cybork
2x 29 boyz plus nob, PK, bosspole
1x 28 boyz plus nob, PK, bosspole
15 lootas
round 1:
we are facing daemons and imperial fists, all footslogging. its a kill points mission, 1-2 more is a minor, 3-6 is major, 7 is massacre.
reapers wiped 2 of three marine squads. we ended up piled in the middle in assaults, my orks were taking a beating against 8 marines, 2 princes, 4 terms, and Lysander. they were rerolling saves because of fateweaver. the lootas manage to kill fateweaver and the banshees come in and take out marines and orks finish off 2 DP, terms, lysander, immobilised vindicator. we get a massacre with a score of 9-2.
round 2:
we got tyranids and crimson fists. the guy playing the fists was a poor sport and needed to read the rule book again.
table divided into 6 quadrants, objective in each. deployment is based on rolling a d6 for quadrant for each squad. we got boned in deployment, took a massive beating, but won on objectives 2-1 because of a contesting wave serpent and one boyz squad kept 800 pts of tyranids busy for almost the whole game, and that side still got contested by the wave serpent. minor victory, but lucky because of the rough game.
round 3:
we got eldar and orks, yes it was eldar and orks vs eldar and orks for the championship. before we started we decided to keep the crimson fists and tyranids team from being able to finish in the money. we would wait to report until their table had finished and report based on their results. 1-2 more objectives is a minor, 3-4 a major, and all 5 is a massacre.
orks vs orks was fun as hell. he opted for 4 boyz squads instead of my 3. i stole initiative on them. i ended up getting the charge on the orks and wiped 3 of 4 squads in turn 2, with the help of lootas of course. we ran out of time, but we had them down to 7 boys and eldrad who was going to fall off the table(he was about a 1/4" from the edge). it was our turn and his 7 boys were out in the open in front of my lootas and about 15 of my boys. we would have tabled them, and had a massacre. we called the game a draw because of the agreement to keep the nids/fists from winning.
results:
our orks/eldar take first place, second place goes to the other orks/eldar team. despite the odds and the inability to win a single roll-off we pulled this one out.
