BAO 2016 Recap Part 2

Time to finish up my recap of BAO. Been long enough, right? Here is my day 1 recap with my list as well.

DAY 2!

GAME 4 vs IMPERIAL FISTS: WIN 10-1 pts
My opponent was Jeremy with team Mercy Killers from the Sacramento area. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of our game.

GLADIUS STRIKE FORCE
CORE- Battle Demi Company (1135)
-Captain- 120: Terminator Armour, Power Sword
-Tactical Squad(10)- 230: Lascannon, Plasma Gun, Vet Sarge, Rhino w/ Extra Armour
-Tactical Squad(10)- 240: Multi-Melta, Meltagun, Vet Sarge w/ Combi-melta & Powerfist, Rhino

-Sternguard(10)- 260: Meltabombs, Drop Pod
-Sternguard(10)- 255: Drop Pod
-Terminator Squad(5)- 200: Cyclone Missile Launcher

This was probably my best game performance wise, and my opponent was a great great sportsman. Basically I was able to advance across the table with my Knight and Sicaran, destroying him as I went, and dropped my Hammerstar right into his deployment zone and ate up 2 Rhinos and 2 Tactical Squads with them. He attempted to drop his Sterngaurd and Termies back in my zone, but my Knight and Command Squad either ate them up or bogged them down for the rest of the game. The only point I didn't take was Slay The Warlord, as his Captain was tied up in combat with 1 wound left end of turn 5. SO CLOSE! Oh well. But over all GREAT GAME and I hope to head to Sacramento in the fall for some tournaments and maybe play Jeremy again!

The moment of my greatest failure this game.

This game was against an individual named Adrian and should've (or rather could've I guess) than it was IMO. First of all we started 40 minutes late, as they were late coming back from lunch, so I was kinda pissed and in a rush. As a result, my turn 1 I made a few mistakes, particularly forgetting to run 2 Assault Squads into  cover, so they got blasted off pretty quickly. Next, I had a CRITICAL Charge fail. He had DS Kataphron into my zone on an objective and I had tied them up with my scouts, then got ready to charge with my command squad and a librarian. Rolled 3 inches and got shot to hell next turn stuck in the open... ugh. Just bad luck there. I then paranoid of his Knight and Heavy Supports poorly deployed my Terminators who really did nothing. The only unit that managed to perform was my Cerastus knight. Unfortunately, we ended on Turn 3, and he didn't manage to finish off his warlord (last model he was locked against in Assault). I also only had 1 HP left and probably would've titanically exploded all over him. The only point I got was line breaker with my Knight. I am not saying I should've won, or that he wasn't a good player, but I know I could have done better and with some luck and patience on my part (I was tilted turn 1 for sure), I maybe could've done something... but alas, such is life.

GAME 6 vs Eldar: Loss 0-11

I LOST THE EXACT LIST! OH NO! SORRY!

However, I know roughly what it was and can kinda rebuild it off of pictures. I believe my opponent's name was William, but I also lost his name (it was on the list!) My most gracious opponent was Clayton!

Farseer on Jetbike
5 x 3 Man Scatbikes
3 x Warp Spider Squads (5 each)
3 Hornets
2 Warp Hunters
Skathach WK w/ Deathshroud Cannons
Void Shield Generator w/ 2 Shields

SO this was another GREAT SPORTSMAN. And he almost tabled me! That speaks alot to his character IMO that I wasn't even angry and still had fun even though it was a super one-sided match. I wish I had played anyone on the tables to my left or right, as I could've put up a fight. But this army was the Rock to my Scissors for sure. I couldn't catch him, and I failed to destroy a single unit (I took multiple down to 1 hull point or 1 model, but just couldn't manage to get a kill point). Over all it was a completely 1 sided match though, and my dice did me NO FAVOURS for sure.
-Deep Struck Scattered into terrain and took meltas out of melta range on my assault squad
-Deep Struck Scattered behind LOS blocking terrain with my veterans and right in front of his WK
-Deep Struck Mishapped my Terminatos (EVEN WITH THE ANGELS WING) and got placed in the FAR CORNER
-Couldn't make covers saves or armour saves for the life of me

I would have lost. No doubt in my mind. But for sure, had A LOT of misfortune. Once again, such is life. It is at the end of the day, a dice game.

My only surviving 2 models at the end of the game. Yes, I even managed to loose all my Invisibility buffed FNP TH&SS terminators...

Over all, a ton of fun and I hope I get a chance to do it again
