So I played my second tournament ever and this time I didn’t do so badly! Ran a fairly uncomplicated chaos beatstick list, no bells or whistles, just violence.
Game 1 victory vs TK’s 14-6
First game was a slugfest where we both destroyed each other’s armies. My marauder horsemen were singularly useless but my chosen and dragon ogres performed well. My glass cannon chosen performed great, helped by some reliable casting of demonic vessel which made sure they came out on top. Got very confused as to why my opponent charged my dragon with a tomb scorpion only to be told later it had monster slayer. I just thought I was squashing a bug…
Game 2 defeat vs Dwarfs 7-13
Flush with confidence from my win I then ran headlong into a miserably tough dwarf list combining shooting, high static res and a death star of longbeards with a king. I made some overly risky plays that cost me early charges and though inflicted some harm, I was slowly chipped into nothing. Marauders again were hopeless. I felt this would have been a tough match up, but should have been slightly less aggressive.
Game 3 defeat vs high elves 1-19
Okay here I just got bodied. It was an all cav double dragon list… Too many dragons, the only thing that could have killed the dragons was my dragon and that was at the other end of the board. It was a massacre, not helped by my warriors running in terror during a dragon charge. Felt this was a paper to my rock in terms of list building.
Anyway, a great day was had by all with fantastic looking armies and excellent opponents. I think tournaments are a bit much for me to do regularly, but I enjoy them every once in a while.
