In last week’s preview I promised you an exciting chronicle of the consequences of making extremely silly decisions regarding Wraithknights and here at Goonhammer we don’t let our readers down. I held my nerve and my largest robot son strode proudly onto the battlefields at an ITC major ready to die gloriously (or more likely, pointlessly) while I rage against the Marines.

If you normally skip the previews it’s probably worth having at least a quick look at my list via the link above, as it’s obviously somewhat different than normal!

I won’t pretend I wasn’t a bit apprehensive before round 1 – all jokes aside, a part of me was worried that I was just going to get dunked off the board every game and wouldn’t have any fun. Still, the die was cast, and I was determined to put up the best showing I could, maybe scrape at least a respectable 3-2.

As ever for my reports we’ll dive into all five of my games and look at:

The Competition – Details of my opponent’s army

– Details of my opponent’s army The Mission – Details of mission and deployment

– Details of mission and deployment The Plan – how I aimed to play out the game and target priorities.

– how I aimed to play out the game and target priorities. The Summary – how the game played out at a high level

– how the game played out at a high level The Takeaways – points of interest and things I learnt from the game

– points of interest and things I learnt from the game The Score – my score after the game.

Here goes nothing!
