Off to the Ard Boyz Finals

Alright so I'm getting ready to head out for the Finals that are being held a mere 20 minutes from me (heck yes!). For the first round I ran Logan Wing and came in second. In the second round I ran a GK list with 3 Purgation Squads with Incinerators and came in third. I figured I'd stick with my streak and run a different codex this time. So I'm bring Blood Angels. And another all infantry army with no vehicles :)

Here is the list I'm running:

HQ

Dante-225

Sanguinor-275

Elite

5 Sternguard-135
2xMissile Launchers

5 Sternguard-135
2xMissile Launchers

2 Sanguinary Priests-150
Jump Packs

Troops

10 Assault Marines-240
2xMelta Gun, Pair of Lightning Claws

10 Assault Marines-240
2xMelta Gun, Pair of Lightning Claws

Sanguinairy Guard-230
2xPlasma Pistols, Powerfist

Sanguinairy Guard-230
2xInferno Pistols, Powerfist

Sanguinairy Guard-260
Chapter Banner, 2xInferno Pistols, Powerfist

Heavy Support

5 Devastators-120
3xMissile Launchers

5 Devastators-130
4xMissile Launchers

5 Devastators-130
4xMissile Launchers

Right at 2k with a whopping 64 models in the list. I'm pretty much running this because I think it's just plain fun and I don't really get the chance play something like this often. My only worry with it are Beastmaster packs since I lack a serious amount of St6 to instant kill the swarms but otherwise I think it's solid. I'm definitely entertained by the fact that I could get Dante up to 8 attacks on the charge (4+2CCW+Charge+Sanguinor+Banner) which is pretty hilarious! All in all should be a fun day. Today is just about bragging rights so hopefully there isn't anyone there who takes it to seriously. I'll let you guys know how I do tonight or tomorrow morning since I'm not one of those hourly update type peoples :)

How'd things go?
I wound up scoring 42 of the possible points. Massacred, Major Win, and Massacre. Probably wound up somewhere in the middle of the pack. I didn't stick around to find out as I finished every game around an hour early and I didn't want to wait until 8-830 to find out the winners :)

I think Chaos wound up taking the whole thing unless he got massacred in the last round.

first mission was horrible! LOL! Good job getting to the finals tho'
The finals were 2k lists? Or is that 2.5k with a 500 point typo? ;)

2.5k it was a typo :)
I heard Oliver tabled you first round with chaos. :)

And yes, he won it all, just talked to him about the whole thing.

Hell yes he did! He ate my lunch! Apparently Chaos is my bane. I managed to lose to it here and I managed to lose to it at the Bugeater. Come to think of it I think I've lost to Chaos 2/3 times I've played it at a tourney :(

What kind of Chaos list did he field? The dual lash / tri obliterator squad list my buddy plays has my Nids completely dialed in...
