Battle: Lincoln chooses to go second. I deploy the D-cannons, the Avatar, the Dark Reapers, and Eldrad in a ruin about 18 inches from the right table edge, the guardians and avengers flank them. The Fire Dragons are out in front. The harlequins are deployed to bubblewrap the ruin from an outflank on my right. The Striking Scorpions outflank, the storm guardians are in reserve, I infiltrate the rangers into my left table quarter, about 24 from the right table edge. Lincoln reserves everything, outflanking the 60 Genestealers. He then seizes the initiative. His turn ends. I fortune both support weapon teams and shuffle some things to spread out left and forward. Lincoln gets the following reserves in: Hive Tyrant, 3 Genestealer squads, a Hive Guard unit, and the Mawloc. 2 Genestealers come in on my right and assault the Harlequins, slaughtering them. The other outflanks on the left (away from everything). The Hive guard move on from my opponents right corner (my right) the Tyrant flies into midfield behind some cover. The Mawloc deepstrikes on top of the Fire Dragons, not the artillery. 6 of 7 dragons die, the Tyrant finishes off the Exarch. The Hive Guard take come shots at some nearby Dire Avengers, killing about 4. Yikes. On my turn, I doom the Mawloc and a squad of Genestealers, and fortune the avatar. My Scorpions arrive via outflank on my right, behind the genestealers.
My shooting sees me kill the Mawloc, do a wound on a Hive guard, and kill all but 2 Genestealers on my right, which the Avatar promptly assaults and kills.
Lincoln then gets 2 stealer squads and the Last 2 Hive Guard units in. The Genestealers roll poorly and both show up on the left side (away from the action) the Hive Guard roll on behind the other Hive guard unit, which advances through the trees. The Tyrant flies towards the wounded Dire Avenger squad (the one w/Bladestorm) The Tyrant and Hive guard finish off the Dire Avengers. The Hive guard fire at the D-Cannons, but succeed in killing a crew member only. In my turn, I kill the Hive Tyrant and start mauling the Hive Guard (now out of synapse range). Lincolns final Genestealer unit arrives on the left (40 Genestealers are out of the game). Because of synapse being gone, some Hive guard are pinned. In my turn I kill the remaining Hive Guard with D-Cannons, Dark Reapers, Rangers, and Striking Scorpions. I move my units away from the 40 Genestealers hugging the left board edge.
Outcome: I win 7-2

Opponent Week 3: Kaleb Walters

Battle: Kaleb decides to go first, he deploys nothing. I deploy my Storm Guardians on an Objective and Infiltrate my Rangers onto another, both in my right board quarter.
Kaleb in turn 1, walks his wolf lord and wolves and long fangs onto the board. He drops 2 empty drop pods near the objective by the rangers. He drops in Njal and his Grey Hunters in front of my Storm Guardians , he kills 3 and they break.
On my turn, I walk on everything save the Scorpions, which are outflanking. The Harlequins go first, to bubblewrap (mainly against long fangs, but also against the approaching wolf lord) The Avatar, Fire Dragons, Eldrad and D-cannons are behind them. The Storm guardians become fearless and move back towards their position. The Avengers flank the blob. The guardians spread out on my board edge, covering all but 18 inches on the left. Where the Dark Reapers also walk. Eldrad attempts to mind war Njal but fails. The Dire Avengers kill all but 3 of Njals escort. They hold. The storm guardians assault them, kill a marine, do a wound to Njal, lose 5 of their number to wounds and combat resolution.
Kaleb then gets ALL of his reserves, turn 2. The wolf scouts enter on opposite edges. The two drop pods come in about 15 inches from my blob. The grey hunters fire, killing 5 Dire Avengers plus Bladestorm Exarch and 5 Harlequins. The long fangs put 3 wounds on the Avatar. The wolf scouts on the right assault the guardians and kill them all. The other squad assaults the Dark reapers, who kill 2 scouts and suffer no casualties, the scouts fail, are caught and lose another to combat resolution. Njal and friends smoke the Storm guardians, and lose none of their own squad.
In my turn, I try to Fortune the D-cannons, but get snuffed by Njal, I do manage to get a Guide through on one of them. My scorpions arrive on the right.
My shooting, combined kills all but two grey hunter models and Njal. The harlequins charge Njal and kill him. At this point, kaleb has 2 scoring models left.
Outcome: Kaleb Concedes.

-Defiler w/Autocannon, Battlecannon, 3 DCCW's
-3 Obliterators

Battle: I win the roll off and deploy everything I have on my objective in my Deployment Zone.
Standard Blob Formation, Scorpions in reserve. Dameon deploys the Dreadnoughts, Princes, and Rhinos in a semi circle in his zone. The oblits are to his left. The thousand sons hang back by his objective. There is a objective in roughly the center of the table.
On my turn, I fortune the D-Cannons, I destroy his right-most Rhino and kill 3 dudes with the reaper exarch. I do a wound to a Daemon prince and shake all the dreadnoughts, some more than once.
Dameon basically advances everything forward as fast as possible. There are some prolonged assaults with harlequins tarpitting a dreadnought, the Avatar tears through two of them. I manage to kill all of his Aspiring Champions so the Greater Daemon never arrives.
Dameon relentlessly targets my D-Cannons, even though they are fortuned, they begin to die.
In the end, Dameon has one Thousand son left standing on his objective. I have 2 scoring units on mine and 3 scoring units plus eldrad on the other. Sadly, Dameons bum rush paid off, there was an immobilized dreadnought and an immobilized defiler contesting that I could not kill. Even with Eldrad.
Outcome: Draw
