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.
