The Berserkers run up towards the Bastions, the Maruader behond them. The Demo Corp run up, but are somewhat behind the Manhunters. Butcher and Wardog move up, casting Iron Flesh on the Shocktroopers. In reply Kreoss arc nodes Castigation at the Shocktroopers, but fails to damage. The Menoth Jacks charge them, the Avatar's opening attack hitting and removing Iron Flesh. The Avatar kills one Shocktrooper, the Revenger damages one. The central Knights Exemplar unit charges the right most side of the Shocktroopers, killing a second one. The Bastions move in, missing the Manhunter and damaging a Berserker. The Cinerators advance, and the Paladin stares off against the outflanking Manhunter.
  3. Marauder gets a focus. Butcher advances, pops feat, casts Iron Flesh on himself and Full Throttle, as well as hitting the Avatar for a chunk of damage. The Marauder advances and Combo-Smites the Avatar into the Revenger, as well as another chunk of damage. The slightly damaged Berserker charges the Avatar and destroys it. The Shocktroopers pull back a little and kill the Revenger. The Manhunter against the Bastions moves a little, killing one. The Kovnik charges the Bastions, killing one.

The Bastions kill the Kovnik and damage the Berserker. The Cinerators charge the same Berserker, putting it on one health Movement box. The Knights charge the Shocktroopers, mostly out of range, but still kill one. The other Knights run up towards the Shocktroopers position.Vilmon hangs near Kreoss.
  4. Iron Flesh on Butcher upkept, other Focus put on Berserker and Marauder. The flanking Manhunter runs past the Paladin, staring at the back of Kreoss. The Shocktroopers pull back from the Exemplars but in Reach distance, killing one. The Maruader Combo-Smites a Cinerator into two of his buddies, knocking them down and letting the over-Foc'ed Berserker charge the Knight Exemplar, killing two and exploding, leaving a unit of one and a unit of five Knights remaining. The Bastions are killed by the combined efforts of the Manunter and Demo Corp. The Butcher advances behind Demo Corp with the dog. Menoth reply by having the Paladin advance to the Manhunter and kill him, Kreoss charges the Demo Corp and kills the front guy. Vilmon charges the Manhunter and misses him. The Knights charge the Shocktroopers and kill the remaining two. 
  5. The Manhunter cuts down Vilmon. The Demo Corp move out of the way, missing Kreoss in the process. Butcher charges Kreoss and cuts him down.
Unit Overview:
  • Marauder:Combo-Smite quite useful for opening charge lanes, ability to direct slam was great.
  • Manhunters: Had an amazing run, hurting Bastions and killing Vilmon.
  • Wardog: Not relevant this game.
  • Butcher: Did the Butcher thing.
Performance: 7/10. Berserker explosion could have had better placement, and forgot collateral damage rolls from the Slams.
