I won, which was nice. Me and my partner for the tournament then took our lists against each other. Ohhhh boy. has he gone shooty. By the time my gunships rolled up, I had one scout left. The rest died to a drop pod ironclad and shooting. The gunships and dreadnoughts proceeded to rip through his army, killing a Landraider redeemer (that toasted my Death company and Librarian after a bad Drop pod scatter), the Ironclad, immobilising his Vindicator, killing a Landspeeder and removing the Typhoon launcher from the other 2 while the Dreadnoughts killed his Hammernators, a librarian and a Tac squad. All for nothing as I couldn't get near his objectives, but still, a fun game.

My list, for the tournament (I can't actually change it now, so this is purely for interests sake but I can tweak it for next time if I need to.)

What ? No flying Dreadnought ? HERESY ! It's going in the gunships, as I'm sure you guessed, providing some form of cover save if I have to go slowly. A rerolling to hit (if Unleash Rage gets cast) S!0 fist as well as a S6 force weapon was too tasty to ignore. The Librarian will roll with the Death company, providing a Magic Hat in the opponent's DZ and generally messing them up as best as they can. Strength 10 from the Sanguine Sword Hurts bad.
RAAAAAAAGHGHGHGH!!!!
I want to face a BA player so gosh darn bad!!! *muttering*
Sorry bout that...anyway good luck at the tournament
