My games
Game 1 Mark H Black Legion
His second tourney. Can't remember much bar the gargant getting attacked but not killed. I either lost or lost a draw I think. I clearly remember the fearless stuf not wanting to die. Zaps never hit all game.
Lost this I think, but can't the score.
Game 2 Mark W Eldar
Again Zero zap hits. Still the Warlock Titan took 1 double, 1 assault and 2 sustains to finally kill the gargant
However whilst this drama unfolded the skorchas wiped out a formation of aspects in waveserpents, a formation of guardians in waveserpents, the void spinner and took the blitz. The strategy was to rarely hit, but make all the saves and roll lots for assault resolution.
2-1 to me.
Game 3 Gavin marines
Gavins luck was simply beyond bad. Nothing activated on a 2+, nothing could hit and so on.
Crushing victory to me. Note the same two armies had a practice a couple of days previously and Gavin with average luck crushed the Orks.
Game 4 Dave White scars 10th company training mission
His famous (I suspect used as an excuse by us all) luck wasn't that much in evidence. The Orks managed a turn 1 initiative win to jump fom the open into some ruins on his side of the table and proved very resilant subsequently. The rest of the game they held on, seeing all their fast stuff killed as teh Orks were steadily out activated and subsequently shot up by warhounds and similar creatures. The early loss of his thunderbolts to 2 flakwagons perhaps made Dave a bit timid with his considerable airforce and I think resulted in the
Winning draw (more than 150vps difference just).
Game 5 Tim Cultist horde
Well, sheer brillance on my part
Or maybe it was all those failed activation rolls?
Tims major mistake was sitting both of the objective on my table half on top of a hill 30cm appart. The Gargant decided not to lead the charge this game and instead secured the hill, making take and hold a nightmare proposition. Otherwise the Orks got into hard cover everywhere and bar the airforce didn't have to worry too much about the shooting.
I beleive this was a win for me, maybe 2-0.
For an army consisting off what I could find painted I did 13 places better than I expected, though actually had a bit of consistent luck this tournament (barring the 5 or 6 in total hits the 4 zaps made in 5 games), replacing my normal early game bad luck and late game good luck (and you wonder why I like siegers). In retrospect I would have added a buggy to the skorchers to give them longer range for the flamer shots and the gargant could have a CC arm as it got into CC most games. Though in all honesty I would find the rest of the painted stuff and make quite a different army!

).The game could have been won on the last activation when again poor FF attacks from a LC meant I was only on +1 for combat resolution and then rolled double 1.That would have been harsh on Chris though to lose at that stage.
