Played in the 40K Online tournement over the weekend with my Corsair army and I have some sad news... I came 3rd!....from last.



Yes the Corsair army was not a great one to take to a tournement and it showed.A very surprising first game win against some horrible gribbly flying Nids was the only consolation to the day.



The second and third games were against Grey Knights. I was tabled in both games in turn 5. Moral Victories were that I killed all the Dreadnights I faced. All in all I felled 9 Monsterous creatures throughout the day.

My last game was against another Corsair list! but with 3 flyers against me I couldn't down the things and so lost to victory points.

Lessons I learnt.

1) Corsair Prince; not a good choice. Expensive and had little impact on the game. I'll be dropping these and aquiring some more Voidstorms to bodyguard my Void Dreamer.

2) Kabalite Warriors were a Godsend against Monsterous creatures. Will be keeping these. however need to be careful as they had their Raider shot from beneth them a lot.

3) Wraithguard apart from helping to take down the Swarmlord, had little to no impact in any of the games

4) AV10 vehicles just don't cut it. far too easy to take down. Unless spamming these  units they are VERY unlikely to have an impact on the game and died quickly.

5)Falcon hulls are also not that hard to kill now but an army full of them may still casue havoc. I think armies of infantry will be more prevalent and as I found with both Grey knights I played, you simply can't kill enough. The corsairs have the ability to jump back therefore missile launchers on jet pack squads could be good but may not put out the volume of fire needed to dent any power armour armies. However playing up close and peosinal invites the obvious dangers. these guys are glorified Guardians and will fall like chaff in the wind against any sort of firepower.
