74- 46 - 1
Optional Two List Event. Objectives/Flags replaced by Easter Eggs.
Carver Tier 4 - 2x Warhog, 4x RaBo's, Rorsh & Brine, Brigands (Max), 2x Brigands (Min), Targ, Slaughterhousers
Midas Tier 4 - Boneswarm, 3x Rabo's, 2x Warhogs, Warhog (Destroyed), Road Hog, Targ, Slaughterhousers, Bone Grinders (Min)
Carver for Warmachine, Midas for Hordes. Need to practice Rorsh and Brine and low point levels to get the hang of them, and Midas would rather have more RaBo's than the Boneswarm.
Game 1
Cryx! Much laments! 3Goreshade or eDenny's NQ 52 theme, which is evil. Goreshade gets put down.
3Goreshade - Kraken, Darragh Wrathe, Withershadow Combine, Skarlock, Blackbanes Ghost Raiders (Max), Bane Riders
List Mismatch: Don't have anything that can really dal with Cryx. A whole unit being Incoporeal is a nightmare.
Farrow Deployment: I won the roll off, went first. Max Brigands advance deploy, photo is after the Battlegroup Advance Move.
Cryx deployment: The Big egg is a proxy for Goreshade, the bunnies are the cav.
Farrow turn 1: Everything moves up, Batten and Mobility go up as normal. Brigands Fearless/Tough, as they do.
Tactical Error: No need to use Mobility early on with the tier benefits.
Several pics missed. Incorporeal Pirates make Farrow sad. Quagmired Brigands are cancelled by the disbinding Combine.
Cryx final turn: Goreshade strips Fury off Carver via Siphon Bolt, Kraken moves in and melee's him to death.
Strategy Error: Blackbane needed to be killed early, and a War Hog sacrificed to hopefully pull the Kraken in early. Odds still not great.
Recount: 5
Game 2
Trollbloods, Borka and Calandra. Drunktroll goes in.
Borka - Pyre Troll, Slag, Krielstone Bearer + UA, Boomhowlers (Max), 2x Trollkin Hero, bunch of different units?
Dropped Midas, as it's Hordes.
Troll Deployment: I won the roll, elected second.
Farrow Deployment. Road Hog will advance move forward.
Trollblood turn 1: Everything moves up, hordes of Troll buffs go up.
Farrow turn 2: Everything moves up, Road Hog charges forward, sets fire to a string of Trolls.
Trollblood turn 2: Everything moves/charges up. Road Hog gets diced, one RaBo shot to death by Boomies. Boomes get Iron Fleshed.
Farrow turn 2: Gun Boars move up, damage objective. Midas curses Boomhowlers, Hex Blasts Iron Flesh off Boomhowlers, killing one. RaBo's charge in, kill a Boomhowler. War Hogs charge in, killing objective and several Boomies. Slaughterhousers charge in, remove a couple models, get knocked down by one of the Troll buffs. Targ uses Ancillary attack on a War Hog, misses.
Trollblood turn 3: Things charge in, one Gun Boar killed, RaBo's killed, War Hogs injured. Grinders cut down. Couple Slaughters killed. Buff horde goes up.
Farrow turn 3: Gun Boar fails to throw Boomhowler. Misad puts Calamity on the Krielstones, Massacre on the War Hog. Blocking Boomhowler refuses to die, Left Warhog sadly passed Frenzy roll and is filled on Fury to do little. Right Warhog kills blocking Boomhowler.
Planned to kill the Warden Stone this turn, but the blocking Boomhowler proved to hard to remove. Sometime the dice just don't help.
Trollblood turn 4: Gun Boar, Slaughter Housers, Grinders all killed.
Farrow turn 4: War Hog finally frenzies, misses with attack. Assassination time. Bone tokens get burnt to pump to nine Fury. Gun Boar turns around, kills Troll that would stop Midas. Midas charges Pyre troll, hits for small damage, buys attack and kills blocking Boomhowler. Calamity goes on Borka, feat brings back lots of Beasts. Road Hog and Gun Boar do little, Warhog goes in, Borka stumbling drunks away. Other Warhog goes in and swings at some infantry.
Tactical Error: Went on the assumption that this would be my final turn. In hindsight should have focused on removing support staff, the Keg carrier at a minimum, which would have stopped the Stumbling Drunk survival next turn.
Trollblood turn 5: Pyre troll fails to do much to Midas, Bone Swarm gets killed, as does a resurrected War Hog. Trolls get to 4 CP's.
Farrow turn 5: Gun Boar kills Borkas little keg buddy, Road Hog doesn't do much. Warhog goes in, first hit damages for a bit, activates Stumbling drunk to push him an inch away from the War Hog out of melee range. Sad face.
Recount:8
Game 3
pKaya or eMorvhana.
pKaya - Stalker, Ghetorix, Warpwolf, Posse (Max), Stones + UA, Stones, Gorax, Wolf Lord Morraig
Circle sets up first.
Farrow deploy. Road Hog uses Advance Move.
Circle turn 1: Circle moves up.
Farrow turn 1: Running running running.
Circle turn 2: Wolf Lord goes Lightning Reflexes put on him, charges up to kill a RaBo and move back. Gatormen spread out.
Farrow turn 2: RaBo's charge the Wolf Lord, dismount him. Road Hog and Gun Boars don't do enough to get rid of the Gatormen as hoped.
Circle turn 3: Gorax damages Ghetorix and Primals him. Ghetorix kills Road Hog with snacking activated to remove him from play. Much sad face. Ghetorix then gets summoned back to Kaya.
Gatormen charge and kill the left War Hog. RaBo's get killed.
Farrow turn 3: Midas attempts assassination, completely botch it.
Rule Error: Forgot that Midas Feated beasts couldn't be forced.
Strategic Error: Attrition should have been the play, focusing on killing the Heavies. Likely Calamity to go on the right Beast, then War Hoged.
Circle turn 4: Midas spelled by Kaya several times, then Stalker kills him.
Game Recount: 7.
