eIrusk vs Bethayne (Legion of Everblight)
eIrusk - Kodiak, MoW Shocktroopers (5), Widowmakers, MoW Demolition Corp (3), WG Mortar
Bethayne - Belphagor, Scythean, Seraph, Hex Hunters + Bayal, Shredder
Game: Standard eIrusk deployment. Opposite Kodiak was Seraph and Sycthean, other flank had spread out Hex Hunters, rest of Legion in the centre. Everything Legion advanced, turn after Bethayne feats and Hex Hunters charged, messing up the Shocktroopers and killing the Mortar. War of attrition developed, with the Man-O-Wars slowly dying to the Hex Hunters. Widows died to Seraph bouncing shots, Irusk fell back with the Mortar spotter, killing the Hex Hunters with Airburst, the Kodiak and the lone Shocktrooper killed the Scythean, the Kodiak then moved on and killed Belphagor.. The Seraph bounced shots off the Mortar Spotter into Irusk, stripping most of his health, then Bethayne advanced and just managed to kill Irusk with a two spell castings.
Overview: Did OK, forget Seraph bouncing which led to Irusk's death. In hindsight should have run the Kodiak to cover the flank with the Hex Hunters and placed the Mortar in the centre of the line.
Unit Overview:
- eIrusk: A vicious reminder to not expect Tough to go off, not nearly as successful with it this game. Airburst should have been utilized early, Artifice of Deviation again not so useful due to Pathfinder on the necessary units (Hex Hunters). Feat was useful in deenying charges for a turn.
- Man-O-Wars: Just couldn't hit the Hex Hunters. Shocktroopers should have siphoned to one side until the Kodiak could Vent Steam the Hunters away, the Demo Corp should have advanced up the Left a little to threaten units.
- Widowmakers: Did some damage to the Scythean, again the infantry had Stealth. Good unit in theory, but in the local meta just don't seem to have the opportunity to swing their weight. 4 Points to be spent elsewhere.
- Mortar: Got one shot, which messed up the Scythean. Could have done a lot more if protected appropriately.
- Kodiak: Did okay, but with the focus overload it needed to kill the Warbeasts could be replaced by any Melee centric Warjack.
