Totengräber's Workpläce

Well, I went to a tournament put on by Hivefleet Indy and hosted by Games To Die For last weekend with my Dark Eldar and with some Dark Eldar loaned to me from a friend or two. My list consisted of three units of Wyches in Raiders, a unit of six Reavers, two Ravagers, a unit of 7 Incubi with Haemonculus and Archon riding along in their Raider and finally a 20-man unit of Warriors. Being my first-ever Warhammer 40K tournament, I didn’t expect to do very well and my results didn’t disappoint.

My first game was against an Imperial Guard ‘parking lot’ style army.

Notable events:

• I blew up a Chimera with a Ravager on my first turn in Dawn of War. Didn’t kill any dudes, but it was cool.
• My personal objective I selected was Assassination. His most expensive unit was a Leman Russ Plasma deal. I spent the whole game shooting at it with Dark Lances and only destroyed it on my last turn.

I did, in fact, lose. The score was 6-1.

Second game was against Tyranids. It had a Hive Tyrant, several units of Genestealers, a Tervigon, some Gaunts and a few Mycetic Spores. Fully painted, too, and it looked great!
