Well… my short-lived World Eaters experiment is over, but in truth it never really started.
I’m back on Houndpack Lance. With less time to play at the moment, it feels more important than ever to stay focused on one faction and stick to my promise of running Houndpack through to 11th edition.
Despite only getting a single practice game in outside of events and the league since January, I’ve still been attending tournaments and keeping up with the league schedule. Today, I wanted to share how the February RTT and Teams League went.
February RTT
List:
1x Executioner
6x Huntsman (meltaguns)
6x Stalkers (melta, claw, and havoc launchers)
2x3 Nurglings
1x Beast of Nurgle
Matchups: Deathwatch, Orks, Marines
Result: 2–1
Round 1 into Deathwatch was one of those games, everything that could go wrong, did. Poor decisions, trying to engage a fights-first unit in combat, and two Stalker War Dogs failing to clear a unit of Infiltrators across both shooting and melee. A frustrating start, but it happens.
Rounds 2 and 3 were much more straightforward.
Into Orks, I faced a double Stompa list (a stand-in for odd numbers). It turned into a proper scrap in the middle of the board—great fun. The Stompas couldn’t score, but they absolutely could kill. Highlight of the game was a War Dog somehow taking 60 damage in combat…
Final round into Raven Guard, and I was paired into a newer competitive player (0–2 at the time). We kept things collaborative, but the Houndpack simply had too much. I focused on scoring units rather than the Devastator Centurions, which paid off for a comfortable win.
Fun event, overall.
Teams League Results
We wrapped up the teams league and the team absolutely smashed it.
5 wins from 5. League winners.
Couldn’t be more impressed with how everyone performed.
On a personal note, I went 5–0 and finished as top individual player, which felt great.
My results:
Marines – 20–0
Space Wolves – 12–8
Orks – 20–0
Tau – 20–0
Drukhari – 17–3
A solid spread of factions. In teams, you can usually mitigate bad matchups, but interestingly I was largely at the mercy of the opposing captains, as my role was to blunt scores rather than hunt for big wins, being selected into matchups outside of my control in 4 out of 5 rounds.
My practice game in Jan, has already been documented here.
As for whats next, well, another RTT next weekend and the report will follow shortly after!
