This one has been finished for a while; this model is the "Kapitan Ivanka Kurganova (28mm)" from Raging Heroes, and fits well within an Imperial Guard army looking for something a little different than grumpy ol' manly commissars.
A local invitational tournament was held at the LGS, where I pitted my Blood Angels with an Ultramarines player against five other teams. Three matches were played, and an abridged battle report follows:
Our list: (Limited Shared Force Org.)
HQ
Mephiston
Kor'sarro Khan (Counts as ;) )
Elites
Ironclad Dreadnought, Drop Pod
Dreadnought - TL Lascannon
Troops
Scout Squad x5 - Telion/Sniper Rifles/Missile Launcher
Scout Squad x10 - Combat Blades, Power Fist
Death Company x11 - Power Fist
Fast Attack
Baal Predator - Heavy Bolters, TL Assault Cannon
Baal Predator - Heavy Bolters, TL Assault Cannon
Heavy Support
Vindicator
Vindicator
Storm Raven - Extra Armor
Match 1 (Vs Two Space Wolves), Primary: Capture the most Objectives
We turtled up in one corner, had them come to us; we wiped out their Thunderwolf Calvary unit without it getting a single charge/swing on us. We ended up tying because both teams denied each other the primary, secondary, and tertiary goals.
Match 2 (Vs Tau, Tyranids), Primary: Kill the most expensive HQ
Mephiston stayed in Reserve as long as possible. (Teehee). Storm Raven and Baals pushed up to assault their flank (made up of Genestealers and Sniper Drone Squads), while Genestealers and Raveners attempted to push into our front lines. Vindicators and Baals made short work of gribbly nids. Death Co. valiantly pushed into the flank, but were cut down to two troopers by withering fire from drones and crisis suits. These two marines continued to wreak havoc when supported by outflanking Ultramarine scouts and Khan. The enemy was slaughtered down to a single Hammerhead.
Match 3 (Vs Tau, Chaos Daemons), Primary: Send one of your units off of the opponent's deployment edge.
This mission played out in our favor, with the deployment zone being nearly half the board, and the mission goals. The Storm Raven nuked a Broadside squad who was in the open with an alpha strike of Bloodstrike missiles. Devilfish and Fire Warriors were cut down with assault cannons and meltaguns. Daemons appeared piecemeal, and were cut down by the Baals and the Ironclad. Both sides were able to achieve the Primary goal, but the enemy team was tabled by essentially the top of turn 3. The game continued to turn 5 because the last daemon unit rolled poorly on its reserve rolls. Oof.
Results:
* My teammate and I pulled out with First Place, and won a pair of Contemptor Dreadnoughts and choice of arms.
* The Space Wolves team placed second.
* The Tau / Daemons placed third.
* I somehow pulled out First Place in painting score, and won a full set of Forge World weathering powders. Kick ass!
Overall, that was the most fun I've had in a tournament setting. I look forward to doing it again.
Must say, it was fun painting a non-GW model for once. ;)
