Feast of Blades Open Surprises Me

So I took a list to the Feast of Blades open this past weekend that had a lot of things in it I considered sub-optimal, even silly.  I had three maulerfiends.  I had a chosen squad full of plasma guns in my Elite slot.  And I had a Skull Cannon, which nobody seems to like over the Soul Grinder and I don't understand why.  And I ended up placing third by some miracle.  I'll be the first to admit I had lucky dice rolls in my last game against a wave-serpent spam Eldar list, but at the same time my opponent made a tactical error in his first turn that I think cost him the game.  

Anyway, I also want to take this moment to show off some new additions to my army.  My new list demanded the addition of a fourth Rhino, and I decided to finally give those metal boxes some love in the modelling department.  I sprung for some FW doors for the Chosen's plasma-bus, and I decided to give one of my squads a commemorative hood ornament, honoring the reason my army exists in the first place, the Know No Fear HH book.
