50 Point eMagnus Bad Seeds
eMagnus - 2x Nomad, Defender, Renegade, Sword Knights (Max), Sword Knights (Max) + UA + Talon, Rangers, Trencher Master Gunner, Saxon, Kell, Orin
pVlad - Conquest, Doge, WGI Deathstar, Nyss + Valachev, eEiryss,
Proxies: WGRC used for the Nyss, with a Doomreaver in place of Cylena. Dougal in place of Trencher Master Gunner.
Mercs go first, Sword Knights and Saxon ready to Ambush.
Bottom of one. Conquest crits the Bonded Nomad, takes out its Cortex and tosses it into the Renegade. Eiryss Disrupts the Defender.
Top of 2, Saxon takes out Eiryss, Renegade deviates off Vlad even with a re-roll, Jacks advance, Magnus moves up and feats. Remaining rangers take out Valachev. All the Knights jam into the Nyss. Talon pronto's forward, hits and stalls Conquest.
Bottom of 2, Aiyana Harms Magnus, Conquest crits again! Knocked down Magnus is easy prey to many shots. Conquest puts him on one, a WGI shot finishes him off.
Player Grading
Time Management: 5, untimed but suffered uncertainty on stats and the best moves multiple times.
Scenario Awareness: 7, moved to threaten scenario but was not ideally placed for it.
Spacing and Placement: 7, placement would have won me out over the long haul.
Target Priority: 4, unable to place attacks on the necessary models for proper scenario threat.
Effectiveness: 5, dice math not terrible but not stellar either.
Cool: 7, flustered by the Conquest critting ALL THE TIME.
Grade:C (35)
Thoughts several days alter:
- Crunching the numbers, Conquest with SnP and a boost to hit roll has in the region of a 50% crit chance against Def 10. It goes against all instincts, but Magnus should have been in the open alone and jsut camped as much as possible, then run like hell the turn after
- Trencher Master Gunner + Talon probably should be swapped with a Marshalled Nomad. Artillerist on a single shot in the game isn't great, especially against the prepared, whilst Stall is funny rather than brilliant. Talon merits further testing, Master Gunner does not but there aren't that many options in Bad Seeds
Game 188

Reznik chased around, hurt badly by a Renegade shot, plinked by snipers until Corrosion from Gorman gets the kill!
