The Spriggan killed the lone Ironclad, wgile the other Cygnar heavies moved into the centre, the Cygnar infantry formed a block behind them, Kraye was behind a heavy and next to an objective.
The Centurion went for a long distance slam under Full Tilt to force the Behemoth into Hark, was loaded with focus to kill Hark. Fell short thanks to the wrecked Iron Clad. Hark feated, Behemoth killed the Centurion, Black Ivan charged the blocking Heavy for a bit, the Spriggan charged the Heavy, Bulldozing it over and getting into range of Kraye, who he then spent focus for extra attacks and killed Kraye.

Unit Overview:


  • Spriggan: Stand out, first time Bulldozed used!
 
Performance: 7/10. Baited well, was planning longer game until Kraye advanced. Hark nearly assassinated, did not take Full Tilt movement boost into account.

Game 17 - Loss - pButcher vs eVyros

Result:Loss
10-7-0


35 Point Killbox Assassination

pButcher - Behemoth, Wardog, Demo Corp (3), Kayazy (Full) + Underboss, Drakhun (w/dismount), Manhunter, Widowmakers
eVyros -  Discordia, 2x Griffon, another Heavy?, 2x Arcanists, 2x Mage Hunter Assassins, 2x Magister

Deployment: Opposing Blocks, with Manhunter on the outflank.


Opening Moves: Both armies run up. Vyross moves up and uses feat. Manhunter kills one Mage Assassin, the other is destroyed by the Kayazy, who ping one of the Griffons. Under his feat, Vyross, free moves up. pButcher does a late turn feat, casts fury on the Drakhun, who charges Vyross, hitting him down to two health. The widowmakers open up, putting Vyross on one hit point.


Endgame: Everything and it's dog charges the Drakhun, eventually an Arcanist is friendly fired to allow a Magister to use the Slam Combo Smite to knock him down. Butcher is then knocked down (Was Iron Fleshed and Wardogged to def 19). Vyross charges Butcher, Wardog Counter charges but misses. Vyross kills Butcher


Unit Overview:

  • Behemoth: Poorly used, bombards were of little use, and was poorly positioned.
  • Drakhun: Absolute gold, almost one shotting a a warcaster...
 
Performance: 6/10. Had a potential assassination fall just short, but Butcher should have been screened better. Opponent feated turn too early, could have been much bloodier...
