Played my first tournament of 10e and managed to win all 5 games, really happy with the way the army worked and I do think I can get a lot better. Still not convinced with 10e there is still some terrible interactions, terrain and cover rules are daft and unintuitive too. But boy do our big boys slap.

What did you play against? How was the terrain?
Game 1 Vs Guard W 20-0 pretty straightforward I killed his Russes and he was left with manticores which didn't really do much and I strangled him on primary.
Game 2 Vs BA (Gladius) W 20-0 killed 1000pt T1 and that was it
Game 3 Vs IK W 20-0 I dominated the middle of the board and once I killed his warlord it was game over with 5+++
Game 4 Vs DW W 13-7 Nothing to say about this game, some pretty controversial things happened but still got a win
Game 5 Vs Sisters W 19-1 another straight forward win, only drawing 2 bad cards round 5 stopped me from another 20-0 win.
Your opponents must have hated playing you, no points against you in more or less 4 games, ouch.
The Blood Angels player looked particularly shellshocked
That's the biggest issue so far. I'm finding that with 10th playing on GW terrain or another terrain format, it really does change up how well a number of factions do.
Terrain is just strange at the moment we played on WTC terrain at the weekend with perspex bases and some of the interactions were weird. For example I can see half my opponents army but can't shoot them with Armigers because of an overlap of perspex means I have to get within 6", or a single unit in a building can't be shot because it's impossible to get the whole base on there despite the fact you can see the unit
Nice one! Congratulations, what was your list?
