I was unable to get my Black Templar army ready for today’s tournament so I took out the Old Nurgle Space Marines for a spin. I've not used them in a tournament in almost 3 years.
Sorc w/ Lash Whip
3x Nurgle Marines units (9 man units) w/ Power Fist, 2x Melta, Rhino
2x Oblits (3 man units)
Game one vs. Mike's Dark Eldar, Dawn of War, Kill Points.
A Classic fast army vs. a slow tough army. Things looked good early as Mike was having a hard time with his dice, but later in the game my dice turned down and his turned way up. In the end it was a close game I lost 7-5. Mike went on to place 1st overall.
Game two vs. Reece and his CSM Khorn list, Pitched Battle, Capture & Control. A hard fought game that went the full 7 round, I was lucky enough that it did go 7 full rounds as that was the turn that I managed to win holding 1-0 objectives.
Game three vs. Jason and his Grey Knights, Spearhead, Seize Ground.
Jason had six 5 man units in Razorbacks and 1 dread. As he jumped out of his tanks I would lash them forward and shot them to a man. In the end he did a lot of damage to me and I only had one 4 man unit left at the end of turn 5, but the game ended there so I won 1-0 on objectives.
Game four vs. Frankie with his Nurgle CSM list, Spearhead, Kill Points.
With Nurgle on Nurgle action I chose to DS my two oblit squad and sit back in cover while he charged forward. This gave me beneficial shooting rounds and the DSing Oblits each took out almost entire units of Nurgle (7 man units) with TL plasma Guns. In the end I was able to win 7-4.
Took 2nd overall and best looking army.
Next up will be Day 1 of the Powers of the North Fantasy not so Grand Tournament on November 19. Game on!
