Karchev - Behemoth, Kodiak, Devastator
pHexeris - 3x Cyclops (2x Savage, 1 Brute), Slingers, Spell booster attachment, Paingivers, Warrior unit


Summary - Khador went first, everything Towed up and advanced. Skorne ran forward en-masse. Turn 2 Karchev feated, Devestator Rain of Death'ed on a few of the Slingers, Behemoth killed a Savage, Kodiak clouded up. Devestator was pummeled by Slingers and the Brute and left with minimal health. Warrior unit charged Karchev, doing little, Remaining Savage charged Behemoth doing little. Hexeris charged and killed the Devestator, spell blasted Karchev, feated (Pick up Fury on the table), blasted Karchev some more, didn't do to well. Next turn Kodiak was laoded up, fiven Unearthly Rage and charged Hexeris, killing him with the Chain Attack Head Butt.

Game 58 - Win - pButcher vs eVayl

Result: Win
38-20-0


15 Points - Machinations League, Upkeeps for free, Killbox assassination.


pButcher - Spriggan, Kayazy Assassins (Max) + UA, Wardog
eVayl - Typhon, Angelius



Summary - Khador go first, everything moves up with the Kayazy getting Iron flesh. Legion move up. Turn two Kayazy spread out and rund up, one moves up to engage the Angelius. The Spriggan shambles into the middle, Butcher goes to the left to stop a range assassination from the Angelius.
Angelius kills the Kayazy on it, moves back via spell. Typhon moves in, kills a Kayazy, misses with the rest of the attacks. eVayl moves out a little, kills a few of the Kayazy with ranged attacks. Butcher moves up, feats, Iron Fleshes himself, casts Fury on the Kayazy. Spriggan moves up but doesn't get in range (No focus put on to charge). Kayazy charge Typhon and Angelius, killing both. Vayl moves up, feats, fails to kill Butcher. Opponent concedes.


Performance -  9/10.Only change would be to camp focus last turn rather than cast Iron Flesh (Vayl has Purification) and put a focus on the Spriggan so he could aid in Typhon killling.

Game 57 - Win - Harkevich vs Durgen

Result: Win
37-20-0


25 Points - Machinations League, Warcasters gained overload (Forgotten during game). Outflank scenario (Two Circle zones next to each other, control/dominate)



Harkevich - Black Ivan, WGRC (max), Kovnik Joe, Gorman, Sylyss, 2x Kayazy Eliminators
Duren Madhammer - Driller, Mortar, Ogrun Assault Corp, TAC, Herne & Jonne, Gudrun the Wanderer


Summary - Get first turn, advance in a spread out formation. Rhulics move up, do minimal with AoE's. Gudrun gets up in the face of the WGRC.

Turn two, everyone moves up, Black Ivan is just short of the mortar. The WGRC shoot down Gudrun, who pops back up in their melee range (Special league version of model). Hark moves up behind Black Ivan. Gorman clouds them both. The left most Kayazy contest the zone, the right most charge and tie up two of the Ogrun Assault Corp.

Durgen feats, the resulting barrages kill Black Ivan stone dead. Gudrun mauls half of the WGRC, the Ogrun move up and kill some more WGRC, the Kayazy are missed. Herne and Jonne move up, fail to kill the left most Kayazy. TAC move up and do little.

Hark feats (Only affecting himself). He shoot Gudrun in the back, killing him. He then charges and kills a TAC and an Ogrun, using beat back to try to manouver away from Durgen. The left most Kayazy charge and kill Herne and Jonne. The WGRC kill the remaining member of the TAC. The right Kayazy split, one engaging the mortar, the other stays on the Ogrun.

Durgen charges Hark but does little damage. The Ogrun kill the Kayazy on them, the Driller fires a shot to no effect.




Hark kills Durgen


Performance -  4/10. Feated a turn to late to save Black Ivan, worked out but was still poor tactically. Rhuls would if one if the region conditions had been remembered.

Game 56 - Loss - Harkevich vs pGoreshade

Result: Loss
36-20-0

Harkevich - Conquest, Black Ivan, WGRC (max), Kovnik Joe, Aiyana and Holt, Gorman, Doom Reavers, Mechaniks (min), Sylyss [Note: Down 2 points, cause I'm an idiot]
pGoreshade - Deathjack, Slayer, Reaper, Bane Knights, Tartarus, Satyxis, Repair, bile thralls, scrap thrall, little pointless dudes


Summary - Not enough units, couldn't stop scenario win. Conquest punching things to death was awesome. Doom Reavers needed back up. Bile Thralls lose to WGRC. Goreshade gives army Stealth, which was lame. Black Ivan was a waste in this match, possibly would have served all right on the other flank againt the Satyrxis.


Performance -  6/10.

Games 52 - 55 - Mangled Metal Tourney - 1W, 3L

Results: One Win, Three Losses
36-19-0


25 point games, pair of flags in every table.


List: Karchev, Behemoth, Kodiak, Devestator


Summaries:

Game 1 - eLylth, 3 Ravagores

Assassinated turn 2. Realised halfway through moving the Kodiak, my final activation, the the intended smoke screen would be ignored by eyeless sight. lacked sufficient movement to block line of sight to Karchev, who was duly Pin Cushioned, Feated at and blasted by the Ravagores.

Performance -  0/10. Just dumb.



Game 2 - Kraye, 'Ol Rowdy, 2x Hunter, Stormclad

Wasted feat on opening turn, moved up, Behemoth got counter charged and knocked down by 'Ol Rowdy. Behemoth gets mauled. Kodiak moves up, gets nothing. Rowdy gets killed by Behemoth, Karchev gets one of the Hunters. Kodiak gets and Stormclad both die. Karchev backslides to try to get the Hunter with the Devestator for the win, rolls poor damage and loses to scenario.

Performance -  7/10. Opening charge and feat was a waste, recovered well. Would have one with average damage rolls on the final turn.



Game 3 - eStryker, 'Ol Rowdy, 2x Stormclad

Clash in the middle, on big feat charge turn Behemoth got Counter charged by 'Ol Rowdy. And crit knockdowned. AGAIN. Behemoth stood and killed him, Kodiak killed one Stormclad, but due to the knockdown the Devastator couldn't do anything. Next turn with full focus load out and Stryker feat Karchev died.


Performance -  6/10. Afterward realised coutner charge shouldn't have been triggered by the place effect. could have still saved potentially by using the Devastator to bulldoze, but would have been dicey.



Game 4 - pStryker - Stormclad, Hunter, 2x Cyclone

Ran up and to the left, Cygnar jacks were to spaced out. Hunter got knocked down twice by Karchev spray attack this game, Behemoth killed a Cyclone, Stormclad died the same way. Won on scenario.


Performance - 10/10. Wouldn't change a thing for this one.

Game 51 - Win - pIrusk vs pSeverius

Result:Win
35-16-0


35 Points, Region 2 of Entropy (Spells upkept for free), trench in centre needs to be domianted. All models outside of the trench removed on end of turn six.


pIrusk - Behemoth, Kayazy (max) + UA, WGI (max) + UA, Kovnik Joe, Gorman, Doom Reavers
pSeverius - Avatar (Character Heavy), Blessing of Vengeance (Character Light Revenger), Exemplar Bastions (Damage shifting dudes), Bastion Seneschal (Solo support), Choir, Hierophant, Zealots + Monolith

Summary - Menoth went first, Bastions and Seneschal against the Kayazy on the left, Menoth Jacks started int he middle with Severius and support models behind, facing off against the WGI, Gorman and Irusk, right flank was Zealots against Behemoth and a screen of Doom Reavers.






Everything runs forward for Menoth. In reply the Doom Reavers run at the Zealots, two of them getting in melee range. Kayazy and WGI advance, Irusk puts Superiority on Behemoth and Iron flesh on the WGI, both spells stay for the remainder of the game. Behemoth tramples forward, gets in range of the Monolith Bearer and kills him.


The Zealots kill off all but one of the Doomreavers, both Menoth Jacks run to the right to intercept Behemoth. Everything else advances, Severius staying somewhat far back.
Behemoth charges Avatar, damaging it heavily (Mistake: Had a spell to disregard first hit it took, should have charged Doom Reaver in to get rid of it). Doom Reaver moves up and hits Avatar for a little bit. WGI shuffle forward, don't hurt the Blessing Jack. Irusk puts Battle Lust on the Kayazy, who mess up the Behemoth.

Short summation for finisher: Behemoth scraps Avatar, Blessing gets tangled up by the WGI, the Kayazy eventually finish off the Bastions courtesy of Battle Lust, the Doomreaver finally gets pasted by the last few Zealots. Severius feats to delay things for a round. After that Behemoth tramples over the Choir and gets to Sevvy, after two turns pummels him into the ground, though Sevvy arcs through the Blessed to leave Irusk on 5 health.



Performance - 6/10.Screw up on the Behemoth charge on the Avatar a nearly deadly mistake. Almost feated turn 1, which would have been insanely premature. Otherwise controlled matchups reasonably, good use of the high defence shticks.

Game 50 - Loss - Old Witch vs eStryker

Result:Loss
34-16-0


15 Points


Old Witch - Berserker, 2x Kayazy Eliminators, Drakhun, Wardog

eStryker - 'Ol Rowdy, Squire, Journeyman, Black 13th


Summary -OLD WITCH IS BAD AT 15 POINTS. (Randomised warcaster due to League rules).
Fell just short with Drakhun, was bad. Berserker was rubbish.


Performance - 3/10.

Game 48 - Win - Old Witch vs eGaspy

Result: Win
 33-15-0


50 Point Incursion (Two off centre zones, each assigned, objective for either side to destroy.


Old Witch & Scrapjack - Behemoth, Gun Carriage, Doomreavers, Gorman, Sylyss, WGRC (max), Joe, 2x Kayazy Eliminators, Drakhun
eGaspy - Seether (Heavy, chain attack), Slayer? (Heavy, basic), 2x Defiler (Lights, arcnodes), Bane Thralls + UA, Tartarus, 2x Pistol Wraiths, 2x Warwitch Siren (Magic users), Darragh Wrathe, 3 model support unit


Summary -


Performance - 8/10. Fairly well mastered Karchev at this point level.

Game 49 - Win - Zerkova vs pSkarre

Result: Win
34-15-0


50 Points Incoming (Two zones, two Objectives, both divided as one friendly/one enemy)


Zerkova - Conquest, 2x Kayazy Eliminators, Drakhun, WGRC (max), Koldun Joe, Doom Reavers, Sylyss, Mechanics, [6 Point short?]
pSkarre - 2x Deathripper (Arc), Slayer (Basic Heavy), Reaper (Harpoon heavy), Bane Knights, Tartarus, Satyrix Raiders + UA, Revenant Crew, Captain Rengrave, Blackbane's Ghost Raiders, Necrotech + Scrap Thrall, Skarlock


Summary - Cryx horde effectively held up by the Doom Reavers and one of the Kayazy units. The Khador units die, but take out most of the enemy units. Bane Knights and Tartarus killed by Conquest fire and the Drakhun. The Conquest hits Skarre for 10 damage. The Heavies move up to first shield Skarre, then kill the Drakhun. One of the Kayazy gets to Skarre, stupidly before the WGRC fire on her. AS a result, they all miss. Skarre killls the Kayazy, and moves into Cover. The WGRC move up and finish Skarre off.


Performance - 7/10. The Kayazy move to Skarre before firing the WGRC was silly, extended game by a couple of turns. Doom Reavers lucked out, the Unit Leader was missed multiple times and by himself killed a dozen models.
