Tournament Saturday...Saturday..Saturday..







This past Saturday was the start of our local GW's Throne of Skulls Tournament for 40K, (i think thats what they call it anyways). According to the local manager, each round of the tournament will be done every 3rd weekend, each player playing 1 game of 1750pts each on set tables and terrain. A couple of buddies and me arrived at 12pm sharp for the tournament. I took my Thousand Sons Pre-Hersey army along with some Nightlord allies to flesh out a somewhat competitive army. I really dont care for lash princes, they make big targets and I hate putting all my eggs in one basket so to speak that relies on the lashes to win games. I have taken Lash Sorcerers who have worked wonderful combined with Thousand Sons, I didnt want to appear "cheesy" so I decided against it. As I wanted to have fun I took the following list

1750 Pts - Chaos Marines Roster - Tourney List TS/Nightlords Help #7

HQ: Chaos Sorcerer
1 Chaos Sorcerer (Mark of Tzeentch; Warptime; Wind of Chaos)

HQ: Chaos Sorceress
1 Chaos Sorceress of Slaanesh (Mount of Slaanesh; Mark of Slaanesh; Warptime)

Elite: Chaos Terminators
1 Chaos Terminators(Terminator)
6 Terminator (Power Fist x2; Combi-plasma x4; Heavy Flamer x1)

Troops: Thousand Sons
8 Thousand Sons (Rhino)
1 Aspiring Sorcerer (Warptime)
1 Rhino (Twin Linked Bolter)

Troops: Thousand Sons
8 Thousand Sons (Rhino)
1 Aspiring Sorcerer (Warptime)
1 Rhino (Twin Linked Bolter)

Troops: Chaos Space Marines
9 Chaos Space Marines (Plasmagun x2)
1 Aspiring Champion (Power Fist)

Heavy Support: Obliterators
1 Obliterators

Heavy Support: Obliterators
1 Obliterators

Heavy Support: Havocs
8 Havocs (Meltagun x4; Rhino)
1 Rhino (Dozer Blade; Twin Linked Bolter)

I love Warp Time, especially on a Slaaneshi Sorceress on a steed, she has a whopping 6 attacks on the charge which are all re-rollable and she moves like a beast all that at initiative 6. Not Thunderwolf calvary but the closest I could get with Chaos. My opponent brought a tough as nails Ork Mech army with a ton of vehicles and twin Big Meks, nasty Nob squad, and 2 Battlewagons. The pics are some shots I took with my phone of my game. Needless to say after a hard fought battle I won the battle with 7 kill points to 5, according to my friend, I luck out. My opponent was a great player who made the game an absolute blast which made for a great and fun game. My MVP was the Havocs loaded with 8 marines and 4 melta guns in a Rhino which accounted for almost 4 vehicle kills, 1 truck, 1 war track, and 2 deff dreads. I wonder what Round 2 will bring...
