Gosford Shield 2013

Back in January my friend Anthony and I attended Gosford Shield. A 1250pt 1 day event over 4 games and was comp scored. As I don't like lower point games with my Biel Tan I intended to take my wych cult however Anthony didnt get his army painted up in time so I loaned him my Dark Eldar and I fielded my Biel Tan (as I'm anal about anyone touching my models). Being a comp event I decided to run swooping hawks and warp spiders instead of two fire prisms. I should note this was the weekend before the horrible FAQ that prevents Eldar players casting doom from inside their transports.
Farseer Doom Warding Fire Dragons x 6 Wave Serpent TL Shuriken Cannon Dire Avengers x 9 Wave Serpent TL Shuriken Cannon Shuriken Cannon Dire Avengers x 9 Wave Serpent TL Scatter Laser Shuriken Cannon Dire Avengers x 9 Wave Serpent TL Scatter Laser Shuriken Cannon Warp Spiders x 5 Exarch Dual Spinners Swooping Hawks x 5 Exarch Sun Rifle Sky Leap TOTAL 1249 As usual my photography skills were well under par and I only got a handful of photos of the day. I placed 7/27. Due to the way the tournament was scored all I needed was to have held one more objective through the day to jump to equal 3rd! The guy who won the day however blitzed the field and was miles ahead of everyone else. This event also marks my first time winning loot: Ravenwing command squad which just came out that day. So now coz I'm lazy here's some pictures of the day without explanation :)
