Game 281 - Durgen vs eButcher

Durgen sits astride the ACME Earthbreaker Torpedo once more.

Lance, or Captain Skew as he should be known, has plonked down the Doomreaver horde of doom. I'm okay with this.

Scenario is Recon, which as far as I'm concerned is still that awkward cousin you know of but have nothing in common with.



Merc Deploy: Bit happier with how this one worked out, still a little bit of screwing around.


Khador Deploy: The Zulu horde has assembled milord. We will hold them here!


Merc 1: Everything runs up, Redline goes on the Earthbreaker and Inhospitable Ground goes up. I reasoned the rough terrain was going to stymy the Khadors nutjobs and was worth only getting one upkeep out there. I do think Primed would have been better to get out there over Red Lined, it's not like the Earthbreaker will need the speed or the strength buff.


Khador 1: The Horde runs forward. For the sake of ease I used Blue Counters as a control area measure for the rough terrain.


Merc 2: Alexia runs over to be behind my Objective to claim some Doomreaver souls. Dougal mini-feats and Artillerists the Earthbreaker. Durgen durdles over, feats, throws out Inhospitable again, Primes the Nyss and Explosivos one of the Gun Mages. He then carpet bombs out and clears out most of the Doomies in the zone. The Nyss charge up into annoying positions, stabbing a few more Doomies. Earthbreaker moves over, throws out some Rough Terrain and pummeling a few more Sword fetishists. Eiryss bravely retreats, plinking one of the Tea Strainer heads. Half the Gun Mages advance including Mr Exploivo, they dismount Fenris, who turns into a seductive corsetted Merc (Madelyn proxying as dismounted Fenris), the ones that stayed back plink more Orgoth Artifact Archeologists. Tinker heals Redline damage.

Running out of descriptors for those damn Khador infantry models....
Should have used Thor to boost attack rolls on the Earthbraker, make the mini-guns more viable at plinking some Doomies.


Khador 2: The wave of explody death and Inhospitable was unfortuante for the Motherland. They decide it is murder time. The Criminal Elements surge forth, they roll appallingly against the Nyss and kill their own Objective (Arcane Wonder). Butcher puts Boundless Charge and Ravager on himself, turns into a yellow Proxy base, feats for the hell of it and goes for a Gun Mage. He fails to kill a blocking Nyss, so can't reach the next Gun Mage in the chain for Homicidal Maniac and camps three focus. He get three feat tokens, which are used to send a Doomreaver to engage the Gun Mages and kill Eiryss.

Merc 3: Risen pop up ready to clear off the Doomreaver on the Gun Mages. Thor boosts the Earthbreakers damage. The TAC do fireballs at Butcher, killing the Nyss engaging him. Earthbreaker walks up, knocks down Butcher and puts him on 5 health. Durgen aims, fires a Case Cracker that puts Butcher down to two health. Alexia moves over, Risen kill a couple Doomreavers, she spawns a Thrall. Thrall charges the Buthcer and puts him in the dirt.


Definitely did better this time around, Alexia's Skornergy doesn't matter with enemy bodies to fill, my concern about Prime remains.
