Result: Win
32-15-0
25 Point Destruction (Zone in centre, each corner a destroyable objective)
Karchev - Behemoth, Devastator, Kodiak
pMakeda - Titan Gladiator, Paingivers, Nihilators (Berserk, Tough infantry), Molik Karn
Summary - Skorne charged up, Molik Karn sped out on the left flank, spread out Nihilators covered Zone, everything else behind. Karchev Towed up , the Jacks then moved in front of him. Very careful to have objectives between Molik and K.
Nihilators ran up to engage the Devestator, Molik moved further up, everything else advances.
Devestator Bulldozes up, Rain of Death gets a few of the Nihilators. Karchev Arkantrik Turbines for movement, casts Unearthly Rage, Feats and slighshots the Behemoth to charge Molik, who is destroyed with ease. Kodiak moves up and kills a Nihilator.
Titan Gladiator charges the Devestator and Kodiak, taking out both Cortexes and an arm each. Nihilators charge in and do a few more points. Makeda moves up.
Karchev casts Unearthly Rage, moves over to the Titan and burns his remaining focus to kill it. Devestator moves up and punches a Nihilator, Kodiak does as well. Behemoth charges and destroys an Objective.
Makeda charges in, falls just short of the Devastator. Opponent concedes.
Performance - 10/10. Fairly well mastered Karchev at this point level.

Game 46 - Win - Strakhov vs eLylyth
Result: Win
31-15-0
35 Point Ammunition Run (Zone in centre, three objectives [1 Friend, 1 Neutral, 1 Enemy]). Points for Zone and destroying Neutral/Enemy Objectives.
Strakhov - Spriggan, Gun Carriage, 2x Kayazy Eliminators, Doom Reavers, Kossite Woodsmen (min), Drakhun, Wardog
eLylyth - Shredder, 2x Ravagore, Shepherd, Strider Deathstalker (Assassin solo), Raek, Nyss Raptors (Light cavalry, archers)
Summary - Legion went first, the Raptors moved up but were out of range of the Doomreavers. Lylyth then feated (Everything gets Snipe) and everything moved up, but due to range only a single Doomreaver was killed. In reply Khador ran up, Strakhov using Superiority on the Spriggan. Strakhov is immune to the Ravagore range attack as it is both fire and corrosion damage.
The Raptors pulled back, killing the Doom Reavers. Lylyth used a debuff on the Spriggan, which then had it's Cortex destroyed by the Ravagore's shooting. The Deathstalker killed one of the Kayazy on the right flank, the other then failed their command check.
The Kossites appeared behind the Raptors. Strakhov moves up and feats, getting Lylyth and the Ravagores. The Gun Carriage moves up and sprays some shots to no effect, but shields Strakhov. The Spriggan and Drakhun charge the Ravagores, but roll poor damage. The Kossites charge into the Raptors, they do little damage (4 points to one of them) but move up to engage them all.
Strakhov Dominates the Zone for 2 points.
The Raptors turn around and kill all the Kossites. Lylyth and the Ravagores kill the Spriggan and dismount the Drakhun. The Raek moves up and shoots ineffectually. The Deathstalker only injures the Kayazy on the right.
Strakhov kills the Neutral objective and Dominates the Zone again, win on scenario.
Performance - 4/10. Victory achieved by opponent's mistakes rather than much that I did, list was a poor matchup for Strakhov. Kossites were surprisingly critical on the one turn. Still dubious about facing off against ranged Legion, caster change would be first step.

Game 45 - Win - Karchev vs Thyra
Result: Win
30-15-0
25 Point Close Quarters (two flags near centre, one friendly on enemy) with relaxed Time Limits
Karchev - Behemoth, Devastator, Kodik
Thyra - Reckoner (Heavy, Flare gun), Revenger (Light, Repulsor), Choir, Covenant (Buff model), Flameguard, Gorman, Nicia (Assassin solo), Wracks, Support solo (Makes spell cheaper)
Summary - Both armies run up, most of the opposing infantry has advance deploy, the Flame Guard and Nicia are out front. Karchev tows everyone up and faces to the left, the Kodiak runs for free to engage Nicia (Pointless, has acrobatics), the Devestator charges the spread out Flamgeuard, bulldozing the one it makes contact with and Rain of Deathing to get half the unit. Behemoth bombards a Choir member and injures but doesn't kill Gorman.
Nicia moves t the back of the Kodiak, doesn't damage it. Reckoner charges Devastator, damages it heavily but not killing it. Gorman sneaks to gap between Kodiak and Devastator to Black Oil Behemoth. Revenger moves up next to the Reckoner. Support staff move up behind Jacks, Thyra moves up, casts Pursuit on Behemoth (If it moves, model in battle group gets a free move), remaining flameguard hang around.
Devastator moves around, bulldozes a flameguard around, Rain of death kills it and Gorman. Karchev charges Revenger, popping Behemoth behind him. Cast Unearthly Rage and takes out the Repulsor Shield. Behemoth is now in range of the Reckoner sacs Movement to get rid of Black Oil and destroyes the Reckoner with Initial attacks. Kodiak moves around and kills Nicia.
Reckoner goes all out on Karchev, doesn't do much. Support models move up to contest the enemy flag, Thyra moves up and casts pursuit on Karchev.
Karchev swivels around, feats and cast Unearthly Rage, Behemoth and Devestator sling to Back Arc. He attacks and destroys the Reckoner. Thyra moves from Pursuit, moving to the other end of a small forest near the flag. Kodiak runs up to ensure I contest the enemy flag. Devestator moves through forest and Rains of Death, putting Thyra on one hitpoint. Behemoth moves to Thyra, makes three boosted attacks and misses each one. Fires bombards point blank, does a point of damage for the kill.
Performance -9/10. Only mistake was expecting the Kodiak to matter being in range of Nicia. Interesting list off, the other one had eFeora with a Judicator (Colossal) that I wasn't confident the Butcher list could deal well with, but he went with the infantry spam out of fear of the Kayazy.

Game 44 - Loss - pButcher vs Kallus
Result: Loss
29-15-0
25 Point Rally Point (Two Circle + a movable objective each) with relaxed Time Limits
pButcher - Spriggan, Wardog, Kayazy Assassins (Max) + Underboss, WGRC (Max), Kovnik Joe
Kallus - Scythean (Heavy, Chain Attack), Shredder? (Lesser beast), Nyss Swordsmen (Weaponmasters) + UA (Officer and stuff), Ogrun Warmongers (Reach, Terror, Berserk)
Summary - Nyss face of WGRC on the left, Warmongers against Kayazy on the left. He gets the Inaitive, charging the Nyss in under feat, the Warmongers are held up by few of the Kayazy (Feat: Infantry models I kill get resurrected as Incubi). Kayazy survive, get Fury'ed and feated, charge Kallus, Ogrun and Shredder. Foolishly attack Kallus first, who tranfers damage to Shredder, Shredder is then killed and the Scythean gets mauled by the next transfer, a few other things get killed.
The WGRC get cut down to one man, the Nyss also get Joe and the Object before Butcher finishes them off, Spriggan advances and does little. Ogrun charge in to Butcher and Spriggan, as does the heavily injured Scythean, they do little and are killed for their trouble, Kallus Dominates the right flank zone and wins it.
Performance -7/10.Favourite game of the day (Out of four)

Performance -7/10.Favourite game of the day (Out of four)
- Very different take on Legion, found it much more interesting than the usual range beast laden stuff
- Primary mistakes: Should have killed Shredder before doing attacks on Kallus to stop that Transfer point, Spriggan should have gone to the right and Butcher to the left for an even divide. Possibly a little paranoid from being Molik Karn'ed in previous game.
- Additional: WGRC under order to roll better when udner Butchers feat, should have killed Scythean but just couldn't do it.
- Need to be more familiar with Steamroller conditions, didn't realise both players scored except for when Dominate clashes come up
Game 43 - Win - pButcher vs pMakeda
Result: Win
29-14-0
25 Point Outflank Scenario (Two circle beside each other, both of equal value if controlled) with relaxed Time Limits
pButcher - Spriggan, Wardog, Kayazy Assassins (Max) + Underboss, WGRC (Max), Kovnik Joe
pMakeda - Titan Gladiator, Paingivers, Nihilators (Berserk, Tough infantry), MOLIK KARN
Summary -Skorne went first, advanced up with the Nihilators going to my left, Paingivers and Titan to the right. Butcher put Iron Flesh on the WGRC, and charged to get further up the field, Spriggan ran up next to him, Dog stayed him. WGRC moved up and placed Covering Fire in front of the Nihilators, were given Fearless/Tough by Joe. Assassins spread out to the right.
Nihilators ran around the Covering Fire template, Gladiator and Paingivers edged further up the right. Makeda used an epic speed boost on Molik Karn, who charged Butcher. First hit did 13 damage, 5 odd attacks after that failed to hit.
Butcher feated, spent a couple of focus to kill Molik Karn, then Iron Fleshed himself. WGRC got a boost to hit from Joe, failed miserably at hitting but killed about half of the nihilators. The Kayazy ran up and enganged the Paingivers/Titan.
Over the next couple of turns most of the WGRC were killed by the Nihilators, the paingivers were killed by the Kayazy, Makeda moved up and tried a hailmary spell kill on Butcher but missed, then a Full Throttled Spriggan loaded with Focus charged Makeda and cut her down.
Performance -7/10. Lucky opponent didn't use Makeda's feat (Returns destroyed models from a unit, would have brought back the Nihilators and caused much grief). Probably wouldn't change much, may used Spriggan's bulldoze to move Butcher to a safer spot.

Game 42 - Loss - Karchev vs pBaldur
Result: Loss
28-14-0
25 Point Close Quarters (Two flags near middle, points for Dominating friendly and controlling enemy) with relaxed Time Limits
Karchev - Behemoth, Devastator, Kodiak
pBaldur - Pureblood Warpwolf, Wold Guardian (Heavy, Knockdown + Push), Gorax?, Druids of Orobos (Push/Pull spell + Cloud),
Summary - Ouch. Just....ouch.
Both armies advanced, the Druids in front of the Circle popping cloud effects, the Kodiak peeled off to position itself to contest my flag. Karchev popped Sidearms with the other Jacks.
The Druids used their pull attacks, a Jack would get dragged out, pummeled by the heavies and killed. Started with the Kodiak, Baldur feated which ruined any movement shenanigans, Karchev slung Behemoth around and the Wold Guardian was killed, before being slaughtered by the Warpwolf. Karchev would then be mauled by everything else, leaving the Devestator to be de-activated.
Performance - 4/10.

- List mismatch, other list was a pButcher infantry focused, would have been better off but historically used to Circle having Stealth everywhere. Should have checked what the opposing casters did and not used Karchev
- Locked down horribly, not a lot to do about it, only possible alternate action was to pull back and suck up losing points for a turn then doing a retaliatory strike once Baldurs feat was finished.

Game 41 - Win - Strakhov vs pMakeda
Result: Win
28-13-0
25 Point Assassination
Strakhov - Spriggan, Gun Carriage, 2x Kayazy Eliminators, Doomreavers
pMorghoul - Bronzeback, Titan Gladiator, Brute (Light, Shieldguard), Basilisk Drake (Light, Spray), Paingivers, Agonizer
Summary - Both armies run up, the Gun carriage lays down a plethora of terrain. The Titan Gladiator gets given admonitions and every buff under the sun, then charges ahead of everything else to kill the Gun Carriage. Morghoul feats defensively (Focus cannot be spent in Control Range.
I pull back everything, the Doomreavers move up on the left, killing a paingiver. The Titan Gladiator advances up, everything else pulls up behind a fountain terrain piece, most of the Doomreavers are killed.
Strakhov puts focus and upkeeps Superiority on the Spriggan. He feats, then charges towards the Titan. He falls short, but his Control Range is no in reach of most Skorne stuff. The the rightmost Kayazy charge the Titan, the first one blocks it's back arc, Admonitions is activated and it shufles to try to get away from the Spriggan. The other Kayazy charges the Agonizer, I then forget to attack with her. The Spriggan charges the Titan and kills it, the Jack is now positioned on the other side of the fountain from all the Skorne. The remaining pair of Doomreavers kill off most of the Paingivers and hit the Basilisk for a little damage. The left most Kayazy charge Makeda, the other runs into melee range. Combo Smite knocks Makeda down to three health.
The Skorne move up, Makeda expends all her Fury to kill the Doomreavers and the Kayazy. The right Kayazy kill the Agonizer. The Spriggan moves around the fountain, gets in Lance distance of Makeda and impales her.
Performance - 6/10. Should have had Gun Carriage further back and set up a big charge instead, scenario would have been painful. Had opponent kept Fury on Makeda to transfer damage would have had a lot of issues.
