8th Edition Last Stand - a 40K Competition

With 9th edition Warhammer 40k just peaking around the corner, we took advantage of the COVID lockdown ending to hold one last 8th edition tournament. Organisation was wonky, and we only played 2 games in a single day.

I went to have fun, and to try out the new exalted greater daemons from Engine War. I played both the first and last ranking players, and made the average - 3rd out of 6. Which was better than I expected. :-)

Here's the links to the games:

vs Tyranids

vs Aeldari

And my list. The idea here was to provide a target rich environment and multiple tough monsters. I gave the Great Unclean One 4+ ignoring wounds, one Bloodthirster 2+/4++/6++ and the other one only taking 8 wounds a phase and returning with d6 wounds after dying.
