I played my good friend Hannibal last night. NOVA Open list to NOVA Open list. It was a battle worth remembering in every way. There was a lot going on the board with his Sisters of Battle maneuvering beautifully, and my own army finding its own footing. I was very impressed with my Imperial Guard as I tried new things. I quickly identified some weaknesses, and with only a few tweaks I think I have a decent list with balance in the Movement, Shooting, and Assaulting phases.
What a battle! It came down to both armies wiping off the other army's units off the opposing objective. I was unable to kill the heavy weapon squad and sergeant left over on his objective. This definitely gave him the win. In my case I really need to utilize my Vendettas better. If I focus more on target selection with the goal of wiping out whole areas of the board then I think I will have better rounds of shooting. With only a short amount of time for each game I need to familiarize myself with what I want dead first and moving towards the goal of the game being played (objectives, kill points, etc).
With all that said I am more than ever ready to paint up the rest of my army to a standard that will look great at the tournament in August. Dark Eldar, Grey Knights, Space Wolves, and Blood Angles meet my Storm Eagle Rockets courtesy of the Munitorum. I am really excited about the NOVA Open. I just hope I rank somewhere around the top, but..... I don't get that much play time so middle might be more realistic. Until August!

I'd like to rank high as well, but since i get even less play time than you I just want to win one of my games! But will claw tooth and nail to win everyone one.
You'll do well with your Exorcists. You just need to work on rolling them 6's. :) The rules will do the rest as your opponents cry salty tears that you will collect and offer to the Emperor. lol
