Now that the Masters taste test was done, we moved to the true test of skill at Wintercon.
Who's the Boss!
I'd struggled to put together a list I liked, so I lazily cribbed one off a forum post. Looking at the after event photos I think someone else had the list that day, so it appears the original list creator was there and I had no clue (and you know, better painting, the side benefit of the potato camera is my paint jobs are rendered somewhat less visible).
The Boss! + 5
Fun Breaker, Nyss, Harlen, eEiryss, Dougal, Thor, Gorman
Round 1: Southies Revenge!
Southie, fresh off his dice giving away Vyross yesterday, returns with Sentinels, Imperatus, MHSF and eEiryss.
I get pMorghoul. He gets Butcher 3.
This looks bad.
Turns out it is. The Nyss try to jam and die in droves, but I work out my best chance is to knock down Butcher and Imperatus under feat then try to wrangle an assassination. I damage the Myrmidon jerk early, but get super greedy and have Thor boost damage instead of attack rolls, so I my KNock down torpedoes miss both Imperatus and Butcher, but the mini guns do enough to kill Imperatus and restore his lost systems with Phoenix Protocol. Morghoul tries to kill off the Sentinels for some points, but I miss the Soulless escort waaaay up the back.
Morghoul turned into a fine smear.
Round 2, the long lost Tim for his yearly weekend of games!
For there must be armies you can see in darkest night.
pMadrak rocks up for me. He rolled Haley 2.
Blergh.
Rocking the Searforge (Braver man than I) Driller, Basher, Gunner, Highshields with UA, Hammer Dwarves, Bokor, Thor
I go first and run up, then feel sad when Haley feats. Sure Foot on the Funbreaker was nice and kept the Nyss alive as the Hammerdwarves get the alpha with Haleys feat (The latter being a nice, casual explanation for the nonsense that is the former half of that statement). While on Haleys feat turn I did manage to knock junk down, Disrupt the Bonded Driller and kill Thor.
When I got my next real turn, Madrak feated away, walked in, killed 15 models including the Bokor to get LoS and stop the Shield Guard, then Earthbreaker went in and pew pewed Haley to death.
Funbreaker!
Round three, into the Brian of Sydney Troll land.
Sweet sweet Amon for me (Synergy for +1! The possibilities!). He got Lylth 2.
Thankfully his list wasn't a good feat really, with Mulg, Warders, Stone and potentially the best shooting Pyro to ever be.
I cast Mobility and charged Amon up, Earthbreaker behind.
Brian goes for it, Lylth feats and moves up, misses the Pincushion on Amon (50/50), burns his Fury to do eight points with his shots, then tries to scatter witht he Pyro and not succeed. Nyss move up, CRA Lylth for a bit, then Fun breaker mvoes up with Mobility and pew pews her to death.
Funbreaker! The lols of Who's the Boss is mighty. Likely won't take the Funbreaker again, will definitely not take Nyss because I evidently suck with them (So, so hard....)
