So round 2 went well for me, very well. I won the roll and decided to go first so I could pick the good table quarter that had a two tier tall tower. The opposite corner just so happened to be very limited on terrain with a big bulky hill that really limited his deployment. I set up 6 oblits on the tower and 3 more in cover nearby. Put my rhinos out front, DP's stayed out of LOS and my noise marines sat in cover at the base of the tower.
I don't actually have my round 2 opponents list, but he was running a footslogging jump pack BA troop list with no vehicles or dreadnoughts. Lots of deepstrikers and jump infantry.
Round 1 I turned up the heat and laid down some pain, with assorted lascannon, plasma cannon and a blastmaster shot I took out 4-5 mEQs and shook him up a bit. He was clearly concerned by his positioning and my heavily fortified tower and he had no clue what to do, stating "I have no clue what to do". So he flew a unit of 10 guys towards me to try and get to my oblits in cover. I don't think he was thinking clearly because he put them in the middle of nowhere. Needless to say that unit was completely destroyed in the following round.
Round 2-3 So I destroy about 12 more guys as he continues to deepstrike guys, not around me, but in midfield in cover. They came in 1 by 1 and slowly got picked off. By the end of round 3, I had destroyed over 20 guys and had only lost 1 obliterator and 2 plague marines to do plasma over-heats. I had a very significant lead and he was still positioned terribly.
Round 4-5 I continued to blast away entire groups of units with plasma cannons and deepstriked 2 squads of termicides in his back field(which were promptly destroyed by his HQ unit, which worked in my favor because he split his army more and the melta termicides were almost useless since he had zero vehicles to explode.) I started moving my plagues and daemon princes in position to gain control of the objectives. I ended the game holding 3/5 objectives including the center, my own and the one to my right. My opponent held zero objectives give me 7 points to his zero resulting in a massacre and a cool 22 points for 37 total. At this point I was in around 1-3rd place. More to come! Round 3 versus Dark Angels: Deathwing! My toughest match!!
