Local Warhammer 40k tournament

A more competitive tournament setting, using the ETC singles event rules. Unfortunately, interest lagged, and there were only 4 participants, so everybody got to play everybody. The event was managed using the T3 website, link here.

Yes, I had to borrow a lot of models.
Yes, the list was flawed (although I obviously did not know that beforehand). Had I actually had a chance to test it, I would have realized that I was handing out killpoints left and right (which are actually a thing at the ETC). Unfortunately, I had a very busy month leading up to the tournament, and the week before I was blessed by Nurgle and didn't leave the house.

Anyway, the list is supposed to work like this: Obliterators and Lord go in reserve. So does the entire Khorne battalion, all taking Banners of Blood, leaving me at 6 CPs. Everything else is chaff and does board control and deep strike deny.

My games


My result


3 losses and 4th place is what I deserve for playing an untested list.
Of course, I learned a lot and will probably build a better list for next time.
But I'm still bummed out by the Aeldari list. No answer for that. I've got nothing.
