Composition ideas after ETC

Our composition on the past ETC-2013 looked like this: 3 defenders, 2 semi-defenders, 3 attackers. I tried to get the best possible pairings for our attackers while playing defenders and semi-defenders as champions, defenders and as last man standers. Let’s look at our composition in detail:

Defenders:

DA+IG – the “first defender” based on the Azrael-boosted platoon with punishers and Vendettas, the list that never get more than 12 points, but do not give points to the opponent.

GK – razorback spam, a lot of fast cheap troops. It has no destruction points, so it can bring points in any match and also has the capability to attack several builds that are afraid of mass S8 shooting.

IG+GK – the second mech-defender with punishers. It synergies well with GK and DA, creating something like a similar defender type.

So, all our defenders need the same types of attacking build to be constructed for them. Something like a target overload for opponent’s composition, that might not include 3 attackers on mech armies.

Russian Federation Team CUP – 2013. Game 5 - Orks+Tau and results

The last (5th) game from the Russian Team Cup – 2013 was against a team filled with ETC Team Russia players. We decided to try to outplay them on pairings and put tyranids, me, into first defend. Russia attacked me with Orks, so I played with Aaz13 and his Meganobz!

Russian Federation Team CUP – 2013. Game 4 - GK again

Game 4 from the Russian Team Cup – 2013 was against Frei and GK again! Actually it was the only bad pairing in our team, so I had to save some points while others earn points with good match-ups.

 

Russian Federation Team CUP – 2013. Game 3 - GK

Third game from the Russian Team Cup – 2013 was against Arisk. Actually I did pairings extremely bad and my worst nighmare stood across the table – Paladins with Draigo!

 

So, this is a 0 point match for me:) Paladins can easily push me off the table – I have nothing to do with them.

Russian Federation Team CUP – 2013. Game 2 – CSM/Daemons (Xellos)

I’ve posted 1 report already from Russian Team Cup – 2013. As I have no photos from the games, It will be easier to post a short reports with some conclusions – it will be better to read and understand.

My army is Tyranids with 18 raveners:

Organization

I found myself a bit slow, so I still has no account at warhammer org to say thank you to organizers, so I’ll do it on my blog now.

THANK YOU, Serbia for great event! It was my first ETC and I fell in love with the event. Organization was at a very high level, in detail:

+ Terrain on the tables was fantastic! Playable and different! Great job!

+ The place was conditioned!

+ Dinner! Not something exotic, but nutritious and fast, actually!

+ 2 games a day with 4 hours per game was great!

+ Transport from airport to hotel and back!

+ Magnets, T-shirts for the event! Cards for pairings! Awesome!

Belarus at ETC 2013. Game 6 - Tyranids vs SM+IG

The last game for the ETC-2013 is against Team Latvia. I played with Andrew 'Weran' Isaev. Andrew is a great guy – we laughed a lot along the game, besides the game was highly competitive itself!

His army is an interesting SM+IG built with a Kor’Sarro Khan in a platoon and a lot of flyers!
