I will do a small summary of my two games and then an overall analysis. First, I faced my opponent, Dan,who fielded a large unit of Blood Angels Death Co. That was all he had. his strategy was to kill everything because they couldn't hold objectives. The scenario for both games was the same. Single objective in the middle. That's it. He won the roll and took first, lining up in a simple "we are coming at you" formation. We basically rushed into each other's face and started trying to kill the other through brute force. The problem he had was that for every gaunt he killed, my terv pooped out the same amount of gaunts each time. In the end due to merely being overwhelmed (and I have to say some pretty poor luck with the dice), I wiped his unit out and won the game. 
Second game was much more finicky for me. I faced the terrifying army of Andy and his famous Tau. It was a push and pull all game which came to a Pyrrhic victory on his part due to first blood points. 
Overall, my army did well. The terv is a cheesy pick due to her toughness in these small point lists and her ability to poop out more stuff was what made it so nasty. I failed to close on the tau at certain pivotal points due to overwatch and poor dice rolls. I had fun and I look forward to the next event! Keep posted for journal entries from the eyes of the tervigon herself!
