50 Point Rally Point (Two aligned circle zones, two objectes at the AD line, can be used to contest).
eMagnus - Galleon, Renegade, Vanguard, Boomhowler Co (Min), Kayazy Assassins (Max) + UA, Gorman, Orin Midwinter, Sylyss, Aiyana and Holt
eMagnus - Mule, 2x Renegade, Buccaneer, Thor marshaling 2x Grundback Blasters, Cylena + Nyss (Max), Orin Midwinter, Dougal MacNaile, Aiyana and Holt, eEiryss, Blythe and Bull
Summary: Not our finest hour, it was a slow slug fest.
The left was the Boomhowlers slowly being ground down by the Nyss and Blythe + Bull, the right was the Kayazy running up and killing the Buccaneer after a few got hit by the Mule.
The centre was a clash between all the Jacks and the specialists (Eiryss, Gorman, the Orins, etc.).
He had most of the table from running up turn 1, he mainly cast Mobility. I mainly cast Calamity, using it with Arcan Secrets against Jacks made it reliable, combined with Aiyana's Kiss allowed lesser attacks to mess up the Jacks. Eiryss was put on 1 hit point early, then took multiple turns to die, just sitting there denying everyone from allocating to the Jacks.
Opposing Magnus feated first, holding me back from Advancing Magnus/Galleon to contest things. Eiryss finally died to Orin Lightning bolting the Galleon then bouncing in. Gorman got a Black Oil on virtually on the Jacks, one Blaster was missed, which moved up to blast Gorman only for the shot to be Shield Guarded to the Vanguard, pretty much its only contribution. He was then killed by a pair of Nyss.
Final stage was my Magnus moving up and feating, the Kayazy charged in hacking down Aiyana, Orin and the Galleon killing Thor and Blythe. Opponent conceded as his Magnus had no ability to escape.
Performance: 5/10. Was slow and brutal. Galleon barely moved, held up Eiryss and an opposing Renegade. My Renegade fired early to try to kill Orin, Dougal and Aiyana, but scattered and was what put Eiyrss on 1 wound.
25 Close Quarters (Two aligned flags).
Dr Arkadius (Tier 4) - 3x Warhogs, Targ, Bone Grinders (Max), Brigands (Min)
Kaelyssa - Hydra, Griffon, Phoenix, 2x Mage Hunters, pEiyrss, 2x Arcanists
Summary:Ret went first, Jacks vs Hogs. Hunters vs Brigands on the left. Eiryss just hanging around.
Arkadius cast Forced Evo and Aggression, kept up Evo all game and Aggression for most of it. Ret had just advanced up. Everything Farrow runs up beside the Doctor.
Two Ret Jacks charged into Forced Evo Hog, weren't loaded with enough focus and didn't kill him. Mage Hunters charged Brigands, caused one to Tough twice. Eiryss moved to flag.
Warhogs moved up and killed both Jacks, Brigands killed one of the Hunters. Eiryss missed.
Arkadius feats to clear fury off a Hog, two Grinders are sacrificed to direct the Frenzies.
A few turns of screwing around happen. Two Hogs get to Kaelyssa, knock her down to seven health, after only hitting with one of many many many boosted attacks (9's to hit, 6 boosted attacks and 2 unboosted. One Hit. The hell.). Remaining Jack throws a Warhog to kill Targ, Eiryss runs from Grinders (Free strikes miss), shoots at Arkadius but misses. Remaining Warhog on Kaelyssa killed by her. She feats so can't be charged.
Warhog that was thrown, only one near Kaelyssa, frenzies and stands up. Arkadius Primal Shocks through it, boosting to hit and damage, does eight points to kill Kaelyssa.
Performance: 6/10. For first time with Fury did alright. Warhogs missing 6 boosted attacks needing 9's was less than impressive, got their in the end.
Arkadius - Won out, Crippling Grasp is definitely a last gasp spell. Forced Evo and feat are nice.
War Hog - Defensive stats aren't great, but they hit reasonably. Opening Tier speed boost invaluable.
Bone Grinders - Became valuable as bodies rather than for their abilities, likely would have been different had a Warhog died at some point to grant them the animus to cast
Brigands - Prayers are nice, and it's good to have a unit for the model count/Scenario affecting
