So now that the dust has settled from the Sprue Posse tournament I think doing as well as I did and being the only Eldar player there deserves some measure of celebration. I ended up with a 3-1-1 score and was in a 4 way tie for 3rd but after tie-breakers I got nudged into 5th place. The competition was fierce as several people with top 10 rankings from http://www.rankingshq.com/ were there amongst other internet big shots from Dakka Dakka.

With all of that said, I don't think I played a single bad player and I had a lot of fun, challenging games so the thing to do coming out of an event like this is to see how you can improve your game. For me, I learned more about how to play certain units better and I have some ideas on how to change the army list around a bit for more of a fun and competitive edge. Specifically, I found that putting my Autarchs with my Guardian Jetbike units made me play too aggressively with my GJBs so I put them in needless danger so I am thinking of adding a unit of Shining Spears in there somewhere/somehow and seeing how they do. I also scored relatively low on sportsmanship so I want to work on that aspect of my game and this is probably because I can be quite the rules lawyer at times.
Breakdown of games/opponents and tournament results:
I will post battle reports of my tournament games but for now:
