Game 37 - Win - Old Witch vs pSkarre

Result: Win
24-13-0


35 Point Machinations, Chemical Scenario (Two zones with destroyable objectives, one zone friendly one enemy, points for getting other zone/destroying objective)


Old Witch + Scrapjack - Demolisher (League Model, Advance deploy + Pathfinder), WGI (Max) + UA, Joe, Orin Midwinter, Gorman, Sylyss, Aiyanna + Holt, Drakhun, Kayazy Eliminators
pSkarre - 2x Death Chicken (One Spray, one melee), Bane Thralls (max) + UA, 2x Pistol Wraiths, Seether, Soulhunters (3 Cavalry)


Summary -  Bane Thralls ran up the middle to be countered by the WGI. Seether charges Demolisher on the right flank, is counter charged by the Drakhun whose horse gets a crit knockdown. It is then cut down in the next turn.
The Soulhunters charge up to Scrappy, but miss and are in turn killed. Orin blasts one of the Pistol Wraiths.
Old Witch gets sprayed for 10 damage and gets corroded by a chicken that gets killed/ Drakhun cut down by the Bane Thralls who split up, but do nothing to the Kayazy. The WGI kill most of the Bane Thralls, Scrappy charges and kills the Banes that got the Drakhun. Old Witch Dominates enemy zone for 3 points.
Skarre advances and does 3 damage to old witch, leaving her on two health. Old Witch dominates zone and wins (Scrappy tried for the assassinate and screwed it up).


Performance - 7/10. Almost perfect, but single main mistake nearly lost the match except for a poor damage roll at the end of the game by Skarre
  • Should have held Old Witch back and just controlled the enemy zone, my zone was very safe covered by the WGI, Dominating wasn't required
  • Orin did what he was meant to, but being centrally placed may have allowed his anti magic spell to come into play
Units to Note:
  • Aiyana + Holt are gold. Kiss on Seether messed it up, even with Holt shooting
  • WGI with full buffs seemed to be effective at stopping Bile Thralls
  •  Demolisher was useful roadblock, though a single Bile Thrall still managed to take out a column...
  • Drakhun was a damage machine, Counter charge came up twice and ended up getting him in range to be killed by Bile Thralls, but he killed Seether with minimal help and messed up 80% of one of the Death Chickens.
