Ultimates Game Two

Mission: 6 objectives, 2 are ‘primary’ Deployment : Spearhead
Opponent: Grey Knights:
-Crowe
-Inquisitor
-Vindicare
-3 x 8 purifiers in rhino with 2 psycannon, 5 halberds and a hammer
-1 x 7 purifiers in rhino with 2 psycannon, 3 halberd and 2 hammers
-3 x psyfleman dreadnought

This mission is more my cup of tea, though hte army is not pleasant, I don’t like psyflemen and I don’t particularly like psycannons in squads of marines, they are hard to suppress.
I Lost the roll for first turn and he made me go first. After a brief thought i decided to deploy off table, with no outflanking. Spearhead is pretty good for non-out-flanking walkers, you can be fairly sure of a decent target within 30” of your table edge on the turn the walkers arrive, so there’s no need to flank.
I’ve got limited notes from this game, the first turn for him pushed him forward, I came onto the board with almost everything turn two (It may actually have been everything) and lit up a rhino, put a couple of penetrating hits on a dread and got nothing for my efforts.
Crowe had to be ignored for a while (he’s got a 2+ so it needs a full walker squadron twice to be sure of the kill) and as a result he eventually buried himself in hand to hand with a walker squadron, annoying but not a lot of ways around it at the time. The fire dragons had their hands full stopping a rhino and shutting down a dread, they couldn’t manage the extra dread but their rides went on to obstruct line of fire and generally harass the furthest dread and his scoring unit, keeping them out of the main game area.
Turn five rolled around and I was looking good, had three normal objectives locked down with infantry in the clear and a dire avenger tank sitting on my primary in the clear. Crowe killed himself with perils and I though I was home.
Then my opponent spotted my mistake and punished me for it. My tank sitting on my primary was in fact sitting about 2” behind the primary (front of tank 2” from objective). He shot it and it got wrecked...not destroyed. The dire avengers had to pile out the BACK of the tank....and as a result were not in scoring range. The game then ended and that left me with three normal objectives versus 1 normal and one primary for him.....3 all....draw. Bugger.
Great spot by him, poor play by me, punished heavily for a smallish mistake.
But on such things do tournament turn.
