Our town had it's very own 40k GT last weekend that i decided to go on ahead and participate in. I came in 38th place but i did get best Astra Militarum player and won a F.A.T Mat though so it was well worth.

Game one i was put up against Imperial Knights with some Grey Knight buddies. Which meant my first few turns weren't great because i couldn't really touch the big knights and when the little knights arrived he rolled armor and invul saves like a boss. I had a small glimmer of hope when he moved off his objective and i held mine but he realized his mistake and was able to retake his objective because our game went into turn six and we drew it out as a result but he won the maelstrom.
I was really hoping game 2 might go better since i was playing the guy who lost his first match but goddamn Knights again. Then pair that up with Khorne demons who get points every time something dies for summoning I must blown his units off the relic 3 separate times but he just summoned more right on top of it and had characters with wargear that let them bullseye deepstrikes. By the end of that game I had 2 veterans left on the board.
I forgot to take pictures of game 3 because of how caught up in how tremendously well i was doing. I was put up against orks with a stompa, 2 battlewagons, a truk and some foot gretchin. the first few turns i blew away the gretchin, the truck, and the unit in the truck. By that time the stompa was in my face put 2 turns of Pask rending away at it and firing his meltas finally brought the beast down and the explosion scattered back onto a battlewagon and exploded the battlewagon. 3 orks survived the stompa explosion, became pinned and then were toasted by a veteran with a heavy flamer. By that point it was mop up and i wound up tableing the orks.
Game 4 i had the dubious honor of playing against a destroyer cult, about the only thing good was that i won the maelstorm with only a handful of dudes.
I didn't take pictures of game 5 either. It was against raven wing bike and i accidentally left a gap for the to outflank behind my voidshield with a meltagun unit who then destroyed the voidshield. I was tabled from there.
Game 6 was against white scars in drop pods. Drop pod armies are the only thing i hate to fight as much as necrons because it doesn't feel like theres' a whole lot of defense against it. Fortunately he scattered backwards on almost every pod so turn one a grav gun unit was inside my shield and killed Pask and turn 2 a new grav gun unit took their place after the first died turn 1. I lost pask and most of my transports but i obliterated the space marines as they charged hopelessly towards the voidshield hoping to get inside and do damage.
