Local 'Ardboyz Results: Made it to Semis

So, Saturday reklawsj and I made the trip down to Charlotte to play in the ‘Ardboyz Tournament at the Hobbytown USA.  Only 8 people showed up for this one including us.  I took my 3^rd edition IG army out of retirement for this, reklawsj took his mechanized Salamanders.  There were also two Space Wolf players, one Blood Angels, one Chaos of the Tzeentch variety and two Ork players with 3 deff-rolla’ed Battlewagons each and lotsa Nob Bikers.  The competition was pretty strong with only a couple of the guys being new to the game.  Also this year the tables and terrain were pretty great compared to last year and there were no whiny old gamers like last year either.  Onto the results.  First place went to one of the Space Wolf players(57 pts), second went to reklawsj and his Salamanders(55 pts) and third went to me with the IG(41 pts, I had 39 going into round 3, suck).  So we will both be going to semi’s when the locations are announced. 

My first game I tabled a friend of mine in 4 turns that had showed up to play with his Space Wolves so 24 pts.  All the other tables drew each other so 6 of them had between 10 and 13 going into game 2.  Second game was against one of the Ork players with 3 Battlewagons with deffrollas, 10 Nob Bikers and 9 Meganobz with Ghazkull.  This game I took a minor victory and some battle points to be sitting in first with 39 pts.  The last game was against the other Space Wolf player.  Even though I killed everything on the table except 9 guys in the first 3 turns he still massacred me.  I had 38 killpoints to give up and he only had 20.  Game ended 21 kp to 12 kp, with him still having 8 of the 9 remaining after turn 6.  Yes, he only failed 2 armor saves(one on 2 wound character) in 3 turns of shooting.  He was a statistical anomaly that should be studied by statisticians everywhere, it was that insane, passing at least 40 armor saves in 3 turns and only failing 2.  So in game 3 I only received 2 points from battle point modifiers dropping me to third and rocketing him to first.  I will post the list I used below and battle reports for each game this week.  Keep in mind this list was written up Thursday using only models I already had built.  I have only played one game with IG in the last 5 years and none of those with the new codex.  Also, all but one tank and 14 infantry were painted, so pretty good for ‘ArdBoyz.  I plan on tweaking the list a little before Semis but don’t intend on buying/building new models.
