Game 335 - Bart vs eLylth

The cardinal rule of getting stuff off Badge-Vest-Guy when its not a raffle: Remind him on the day.

Lacking the cards and being incapable when it comes to Warroom in games, I threw out my Cygnar models list with a Merc caster and Jack.

Bart - Galleon, Boomhowlers (Max), Gun Mages + The Dude, pAlexia + Risen, Aiyanna + Holt, Gorman, Dougal, eEiryss, Anastasia, Taryn, Piper
Objective: Armory

Bart in Highborn feels weird....

eLylth - Ravagore, Zuriel, Shredder, Bolt Thrower, Naga, Gobbers, 2x Forsaken, 2x Deathstalkers, Succubus, Shredder, Warspears + UA
Objective: Arcane Reckoning

Leeper tech has invaded.....

Some pre-warning, I played two games this night and did some hard numptying. Prepare to be underwhelmed...


Merc Deploy: I won the roll, picked first because Lylth and both sides had Linears anyway.
The Journeyman is Dougal.


Legion Deploy: Potatoism strikes again. Warspears on the left, Zuriel on the right, everything else between.


Merc 1: Hot Shot goes on the Galleon, everything runs up.


Legion 1: Deathstalkers knock down two Boomhowlers, the Gobbers cloud in the right zone, Lylth Shadowpacts because she is mean. Ravagore pops a Boomhowler, they I forgot to take him off the table until after the pic was taken.


Merc 2: Hot Shot sticks around, Boomhowlers tough and run way up, Galleon moves into the opposing zone and kills the Succubus/Shepherd. The Gun Mages move up, they kill the first Deathstalker easily, then they miss the other Deathstalker with four shots.
Bart runs and hides behind the Galleon, Anastasia engages Zuriel to be mean, Eiryss movesup on the right flank for giggles.
So.....I missed a pair of the Gun Mages and didn't move them up, Gorman is way on the left to run and contest my friendly zone because wasting Gorman activations is a tops move.


Legion 2: Lylth feats, Pincushions the Galleon, walks back a bit and misses Taryn twice before killing her. Woot woot. The War Spears maul a few of the Boomhowlers, the Gobbers try to stab Anastasia for reasons. The Ravagore, Bolt Thrower and Naga ping the Galleon, taking out most of the left side. Zuriel charges in, leaves the Galleon on three health, Cortex and Right arm still truckin.


Merc 3: Galleon kills the Objective and shoots Zuriel for a few damage. Aiyanna/Holt Harm the Spears and kill one. Eiryss moves in, misses Lylth who Dodges back a bit. Gun Mages move up and shoot down the shredder. Anastasia Esponiages, Gun Mages kill the Swamp Gobbers and fail to hit the Deathstalker, other stuff moves up, Eiryss misses Lylth again.
Dougal sighs at my stupidity, moves up and kills a Gun Mage with his bomb.
Alexia charges through the now clear charge lane to kill Zuriel.
Boomies (Three to go!) jam in, pass terror and abom checks.

I go to 2 CP.


Legion 3: Warspears kill Aiyanna and Greygore, units pass their checks. Forsaken goes into the far right Boomie. Remaining pair of Boomhowlers pass two or three tough checks each to survive.
Ravagore kills the Galleon. Bolt Thrower crits Alexia, knocking her down and doing three points. Naga runs into the right zone to contest. Lylth kills Anastasia and Eiryss.


Merc 4: Just need to clear the Naga and block up the Ravagore, then I'll go to 4 and be a turn/zone clear away for the win. I forget that Gun Mages ignore stealth, so they walk up towards the Naga, pepper it with Crit Brutals, none of them Crit but I do some damage. Risen go into it, they do nothing, a Thrall is spawned by Alexia, charges and does some points. Bart walks around the wreck then back into it, sprays at the Naga and misses, feats. Boomies stand up, the new leader kills the Forsaken that pummelled him. Holt kills a Warspear.


Legion 4: Naga frenzies and knocks down a Risen. Warspears kill Holt and engage Aiyanna. Ravagore and Lylth kill all the Gun Mages, Bolt Thrower kills Alexia.


Round 5/6: Both of us under 15 minutes. Risen run up and engage the Ravagore while tough, Bart finally kills the damn Naga. Mercs go to 4 CP.

Legion kills off Gorman, Piper and Dougal and do a couple points to Bart.

Russelzon has 40 seconds on his clock, so Bart just full camps and goes to the far end of the wreck Marker.

Ravagore Frenzies, kills a Risen, I win on clock.


Me on the left.

What a derpfest from me, if not for the early Fury Management mitigation and Russ' tank time I would have gone down quick smart.

Gun Mages ignore stealth, Shadowpact gives Stealth against everything else, Bart having to run to be behind the Galleon early on, blocking my own charge lanes with Esponiage moves, it was just all bad.
