This version of my Packmaster Kith deck had only played 1 game prior to the event, I had switched out the Eldar allies for Chaos allies and I was very unsure if they would work, but after discussing it on CardGameDB and with some of my friends, I made the commitment to choose Chaos as my ally for this build.
Round 1 – Vs Paul, playing
Subject Omega
This was probably the most fun
I had during the tournament, we had a bit of a laugh while playing and the guy
was pretty cool. The thing I probably noted from this game was that I never saw
1 Chaos card during the whole game. I think I managed to get the victory here
through planets as far as I remember.
Round 1 – Win – 1-0
Round 2 – Vs. Darren, playing
Chaplin Mavros
I think this chap had used his
bye to skip the first round, I had decided to not cash in my bye for this
event, I figure I will save it for the next regional I plan on going to. I have
had great success with Kith when playing Space Marines in previous games and so
I wasn’t overly worried. I choked him of his economy, and then piled on to pick
up the win and get me my 2nd victory. Once again though, I must note
that I never saw a single Chaos card during this game.
Round 2 – Win -2-0
Round 3 – Vs. Pehjmon, playing
Anrakyr The Traveller
Ok, so I have not really
played against Necrons properly yet, despite having a clue what this warlord
could do, I have never actually seen what he can do and this was an intense
match for me. However, I won a lot of command, stopped him gaining resources
with my Archon’s Palace and then finally got to see my Chaos Allies put in some
work after warpstorming his HQ to decimate his forces and with his warlord only
having 1 HP left, he decided to call it GG there.
Round 3 – Win -3-0
We then had a spot of lunch,
if you must know; I went to Burger King and had a Bacon Double Cheeseburger XL
meal. It was lovely too. Not had BK in a few weeks. HA!
Round 4 – Vs. Sarah, playing
as Ragnar Blackmane
This game did not last as long
as I thought it would, I steamrolled command and never went anywhere near
Ragnar with Kith. Sarah made a massive error by not activiating her Primal
Howl, and once she realised her error, I think she had mentally threw in the
towel and I didn’t take long before she conceded.
Round 4 – Win -4-0
Round 5 – Vs. Daniel, playing
as Eldorath Starbane
Ok, so both of us are
currently 4-0, I saw Starbane and thought “Well it was good while it lasted”
however on my victory condition planet, my opponent decided to go to planet 2
in order to win his command and this was just silly, leaving his one major unit
on planet 1 ready to be hit by a Klaviex Warleader and my Solarite finished the
job. So after 5 rounds of swiss I managed to get a 5-0 record.
Round 5- Win -5-0
Top 8 game – Vs James, playing
as Zarathur
Well this went pretty much as
expected, I hit the command hard here and I bloodied Zarathur pretty quickly.
Sadly my opponent had to get going but this did mean that I got a ticket into
the semi-finals and secured me all buy the 1st place prize.
Top 8 – Win -6-0
Semi Final Game – Stefan,
playing as Archon Salaine Morn
Well, this was a boring game,
I kind of knew how it would go also, I do think that Kith cannot get ahead of the
economy of Morn and it showed in this game. I started out pretty strong but
once Morn had her resources I was pretty much over for me and sadly I fell at
this critical hurdle. But I must admit I had a great time and TBH if I had
gotten into the final game I probably would have just fallen asleep, as I was
really exhausted at this point and was ready for home.
Semi Final – Loss – 6-1
I would like to note that we
were given additional prizes for being the best in faction, we were given some
custom planet dials which were very nice and it was a bit of a shame that I had
already purchased one from the same supplier prior to the event off eBay. Man
down. However, still pretty stoked to get another little something for the
effort I had gone to. Overall I was very happy with the whole day and I very
much like my haul of goodies. All my opponents were pretty sound and it was a
pleasure to compete against them.
The next stop in the road now
is the regional event at Firestorm Games on the 9th July 2016. I am
not too sure who I intend on playing there but do think I will go with
something a little more relaxed than Packmaster Kith.
So I will get this closed down
now, thank you for reading.
I’m Big Boss...... I’m
Out....... Peace!!
