Journeyman continues, now with 25 pts, including Battle Box (Soon, Spitter, you'll be back on that shelf, where I can safely ignore your speed 4 lameness).
I have now realised that at no point in this journeyman can I field three Posse units. Damn your sensible decisions Privateer Press! How dare they make me play for fun!
Ended up with:
Barny - Wrastler, Spitter, Bullsnapper, Posse (Max), Gobbers, Feralgeist
The noticeable casualty from last week is the poor Thrullg.
Got two games in, I'm lazy so they were both Outflank.
Game 1
eKaya - Feral, Stalker, Stones + UA, 2x Argus, Gallows Grove
Argii and the Spitter. Truly, these lists exemplify what the Journey makes you use that otherwise would never see the light of day.
I took second, circle pushed for the left zone. Posse jammed into Argi while Barni and the Spitter sat in the Right zone and Domianted. The Stalker killed the Wrastler, who got taken over by the Feralgeist.
Kaya ported stuff back and got all the Posse dead, but didn't have much to contest the right zone, so I walked into a scenario win.

Game 2
El Hoops eVyross evil force of Armageddon - Imperatus, four Griffons, two Arcanists/
Won the die roll, took second again.
Opening turns we both run up, I ingeniously place the Feralgesit in a spot to be shot and killed.
Bottom of two the Posse charge into the Griffon squad that have taken over the left zone. They bring little glory to the Gatorverse, defensive 12 it seems is a step to far for MAT 7....
Barny runs into the back edge of the Right zone, the Spitter and Wrastler stand in front of him.
Gators go to 2 CP.
Top of three, the Griffons start bopping the Posse to get Synergy up. Imperatus charges in, slaughters the Spitter and puts two whacks into the Wrastler, taking out half his health including his mind.
Bottom of three I begin evil plan into-the-swamp-you-go. Barny charges Imperatus, feats on everything but the Arcanists, puts a Swamp pit behind Imperatus, heals the Wrastler for a box so he has his mind back. Swamp Gobbers run into the Swamp Pit to be throw targets. Bullsnapper moves up, puts Spiny on Barnabus.
The Wrastler cracks his knuckles, walks up to the knockdown Imperatus, picks him up by the leg to swingarooney him into the Swamp. He buggers it up. I stare at my dice in disgust. He maxes fury buying attacks on Imperatus, does not terribly.
The Posse take out a Griffon.
Top of four, Imperatus gets fully loaded. The Griffons fuel Synergy, wiping out two Posse in the process. Imperatus stands up, starts pummeling Barnabus. I take a hit for eight, Spiny drops off his other arm which then misses. Another hit for eight goes to the Bullsnapper. The last attacks do four points each, one gets channelled to the Snapper. Phoenix protocol gets triggered by the Spiny damage. BARNY LIVES!
Bottom of four, this time for sure! Bullsnapper frenzies and kills a Swamp Gobber (The transfer damage took out his Spirit). Barney walks to max melee range of Imperatus, Spiny Growths himself and puts a Swamp Pit out behind Imperatus again.
Wrastler gets hit upside the head by Barny. This time manages to throw Imperatus into the Swamp Pit, putting his boiler out, even though Ret jacks don't have them.
Posse damage the Griffon on the right most side of the zone, taking out his shield arm.
Gators go to 4 CP.
Top of five. Vyross keeps Synergy going, fuels up the Griffon on the right most edge of the left zone. Vyross charges a Posse, between him and two of the Griffons the Posse die out. The right most Griffon charges the Wrastler and gets into the right zone. He takes a free strike from the Bullsnapper, who hits. At dice minus 4 with three damage dice, good odds I remove a system or even kill him.
I roll three ones. The Griffon kills the Wrastler.
Ret goes to 2 CP.
Bottom of five, Barney cuts for one then kills the Griffon, though not until all his initials had missed (Defence 12 is clearly the bad part of the curve for MAT 7). The Snapper walks into the left zone.
Gators go to 6 CP. Take that you Imperatus jerkamatron.

They came out with the new League rules today, I'm torn on Minions or Mercs. I prefer Minions for Leagues, but Croak Hunters are lame.
Slam wise, I'm liable to not play with Fiona for a whgile because I suspect she's becoming a cause of frustration. List dojo currently has me with the following:
Fiona
*Silly Wishnailer
*Galleon
Dougal
Gorman
Rhupert
eEiryss
Reinholdt
Tinker
pAlexia
Kayazy Assassins (Max) + Underboss)
2x Eliminators
TAC
The original plan that no one ahs ever seen before: Run Kayazy as the biggest, weakest problem, Galleon stuff they can't threaten. Nonokian to promise assassination at every turn.
