December Munera

I participated in a RTT today, at Next Level Wargaming. Unfortunately, this was the last RTT to be held there, and I feel really, really sad. I'll miss the place.

As for the games, well, I'm exhausted and I don't remember much. I've been up since 3am, so I'm kind of brain dead at this point. The only thing I can say for sure is that I played Black Templars, and I think I screwed up. My list was basically:

Black Templars Battalion

Primaris Marshal with auto-flamer and master-crafted power sword, Master at Arms

Primaris Chaplain with Breviary (however you spell it)

Emperor's Champion

3 Assault Intercessor squads (5 dudes each, one squad's Sergeant had a power fist, the Relic Bearer one called Fist of Balthus?)

5 Bladeguard Veterans

2 Redemptor Dreadnoughts with plasma

4 Sword Brethren

2 Primaris Repulsor Executioner tanks with plasma

First game was against Grey Knights with 5 Dreadknights. Despite using the Abhor the Witch Vow, my army got almost wiped out. I think I did have a single Repulsor Executioner still alive somewhere in my deployment zone, but I only killed 1 Dreadknight. Yikes. On the other hand, I killed like 4-5 Interceptor squads (I think?), so not too bad. Ended in a terrible loss for me.

Second game was against Black Templars - mirror match up! I think the opponent had 8 Assault Terminators, an Apocethary, Primaris Chaplain on bike, a Gladiator Valiant, but otherwise he had a similar list to mine. Lost that game too, 73 (I think?) to 97 points. Oh, well. Let's just say my Repulsor Executioners basically did f all, and he made all the saves for his Assault Terminators and Bladeguard Veterans. Not exactly a good game for me.

The third game was against Space Wolves. I got tabled by turn 5. End of story.

Um, as it turns out, the Repulsor Executioner tanks were bad. A lot worse than I thought. Perhaps half of it was my stupidity in not selecting the Uphold the Emperor's vow, which would give them a 5++ invulnerable saves against the Space Wolves and the Grey Knights, but yeah. I guess I'll have to figure something out. Swap them out for Terminators, maybe. Honestly, they are great in a Crusade or narratively themed army, but in tournaments...not so much. Anyway, I'll see. Till then. Gotta sleep early tonight because I'm exhausted, so I'm keeping this post short.
