Game 11 - Loss - eIrusk vs pVayl

Result:Loss
 7-4-0

eIrusk vs pVayl


eIrusk - Kodiak, MoW Shocktroopers (5), Greylord Ternion, MoW Demolition Corp (3), WG Mortar
pVayl - Angelus, Naga, Typhon, Spell Martyr, Raek

Game: Popped Spell Martyr with Airburst, Ternions popped clouds on Demo Corp to hide Irusk, turned out to be worthless. Kodiak set up to block alongside the Ternions, but didn't work out. Irusk easily assassinated. 

Unit Overview:
  • Irusk - Got a kill with Airburst if nothing else.
  • Ternions/Kodiak - Misplayed stupidly.
  • MoW - Crushed anything they charged
  • Mortar - Hilarious hit on the caster for 12 damage (Deflected onto warbeast)
Performance: 3/10. Wrong army selection choices, particularly the Ternions and Kodiak, as Legion ignore cloud effects. At least used Airburst well.

Future changes: Work Spriggan in to work with Widowmakers and Mortar, hold back more against the short range/cc armies and get the best use of Snipe + Tactical Supremacy and Mortar + Fire for Effect. Try to grab Sylls in the future to pay one upkeep. Place Warjack more centrally, Khador Jacks are to slow to threaten flanks.

Game 10 - Win - pButcher vs pLylth

Result:Win
 7-3-0

pButcher vs pLylth (Legion)


pButcher - MoW Shocktroopers (5), MoW Demo Corp (3), Spriggan, Wardog, Widowmakers, Manhunter
pLylth - 2x Shredders, Max unit of Hex Hunters + UA: Bayal, Naga,???

Game: Charged up the middle, Hex Hunters killed the Manhunter, Wardog killed by Lylth at range. Shredder mauled up by Widowmakers, said Shredder ran up into combat with one. Butcher charged and killed Shredder, MoW slowly took down Hex Hunters, other Shredder killed by Widowmakers. Spriggan charged Lylth, killed her with a back strike when she tried to flee and snipe Butcher.

Unit Overview:
  • Butcher - Beast.
  • Widowmakers - Messed up the Shredders
  • MoW - Did well enough, could have blocked better for Butcher
  • Wardog - Sacrificed to protect Butcher.
  • Spriggan - Reach was gold.
Performance: 7/10. Should have noted how Spriggan's anti-stealth worked.

Game 9 - Win - eIrusk vs Ashlynn

Result:Win
 6-3-0

eIrusk vs Ashlynn (Mercenary)


eIrusk - Kodiak, MoW Shocktroopers (5), Widowmakers, MoW Demolition Corp (3), WG Mortar
Ashlynn - 2x Mule, Eiryss, Madelyn Corbeau, Press Gangers + Lass, Lady Aiyana and Master Holt,

Game: MoW's advanced up the left with the Kodiak, where they got blasted by the Mules. The Kodiak got held up and dealt with the Press Gangers. The Shocktroopers spent most of the game tied up with a Mule, the mortar pinged the other Mule, while the Widowmakers killed Holt and Corbeau then got in combat with Eiryss. Ashylnn moved in, cutting most things down, while Irusk ended up fleeing into a forest in the centre, killing Eiryss with an Airburst.


Final Stages: Irusk hidden in forest, with the Shocktroopers having killed one Mule charged the other under Battle Lust, taking out both it's arms. Ashlynn moved to the back of the Shocktroopers, killing them both, the damaged Mule then shambled towards the forest. Irusk used Energizer to move through the forest, then charged Ashylnn in the back, hitting and killing her.


Overview: Spent every unit, lucky with Irusk's attack doing enough damage.

Unit Overview:
  • eIrusk: Killed Eiryss and Ashlynn, Artifice kept him alive at one point, Energizer was great for positioning.
  • Kodiak: Right unit, Vent Steam getting around Ashlynn's feat to wipe out the tarpit Press Gangers. Combined with Energizer, Vent Steam managed to damage Ashlynn setting up the caster kill.
  • Mortar: Great distraction, blew off one of the Mule Lobber arms before it could take a shot, as well as pinging Ashlynn for a few points prior to the caster kill.
  • MoW's: Shocktroopers held up Mule for a while, needed Battle Lust earlier to be more effective. Demo Corp got charged by Ashlynn and were sacrificed.
  • Widowmakers: Killed their points, held up Eiryss and a Mule for a few turns.
Performance:6/10. Should have used Widowmaker's to ping the Mules and Airburst to take out Eiryss/Holt/Aiyana. The MoW's should have hung back with the Demo Corp behind them, ready to absorb the charge. The Kodiak was in the right spot, as it was the only unit that could effectively one turn the tarpit unit of Press Gangers.

Game 8 - Win - eIrusk vs Makeda

Result:Win
  5-3-0

eIrusk vs Archdomina Makeda (Skorne)


eIrusk - Kodiak, MoW Shocktroopers (5), Widowmakers, MoW Demolition Corp (3), WG Mortar
Makeda - Molik Karn, Titan Gladiator, Praetorian Karax

Game: Skorne went first, the Karax shield walled and advanced with an enormous speed boost from a spell. Turn two and Makeda popped her feat, which would return any dead Karax unless the unit was wiped out. Entire Khador army unloaded on the Karax, the Man-Wars all charged, literally only just killing them. Molik charged, killing the Demo Corp and most of the Shock Troopers, whilst the Kodiak and the Titan Gladiator crippled each other. The Shocktroopers wailed on Molik for a turn, until there was one left, who moved out of the combat dying to a free strike, allowing Irusk to shoot the last points of Molik. The Kodiak finally died to the Titan, who was then pummeled by the Mortar and finished by the Widowmakers.

Final phase of the game was Makeda vs EIrusk, the Mortar and the Widowmakers. Charging through the Artifice of Deviation, she killed a pair of the Widowmakers who promptly passed their Tough rolls. Irusk, for the first turn of the whole game, didn't upkeep Fire-for-Effect and charged, burning focus for extra attacks and boosting attack and damage rolls, killing Makeda.

Overview: Did well enough, prioritised appropriately.

Unit Overview:
  • eIrusk: Actually got kills for the first time ever, doing in a character Warbeast and the enemy caster, should utilize him more in the future (Warbeast was a boosted shot, Maketa was stabbed repeatedly).
  • Mortar: Gold, Fire-For-Effect allowed it to ping the Karax and messed up the Titan a bit.
  • Widowmakers:Should not be fired into combat. Didn't achieve much, but didn't fail either.
  • Man-O-Wars:Demo Corp with Battle Lust evil on the charge. Shocktroopers sacrificed themselves for the greater good as they should.
  • Kodiak:Misused, could have achieved a little more, but ultimately not a huge problem.
Performance: 7/10. Need to look up some basic rules I was unsure on, should have made sure opponent understood that the Kodiak had a boosted defence of 12.
