Game 4 - Gorten1 vs Ossyan1

Pseudo slam time! Not an actual Slam, because we'd all clock out and that'd be lame.

It's time for Gorten list version #3 (Like #2, but with models I actually own).

Gorten1 - 2x Bashers, 3x Gunners, 2x Blasters, Rorsh + Brine, Wrongeye + Snapjaw, 2x Kayazy Eliminators, Aiyanna + Holt, Acosta, Tinker
Objective: Stockpile

First game into Chibinero with the people that didn't deserve Deadeye:

Ossyan1 - Hypnos, Hydra, Sillys Wyshnallyr, Ghost Sniper, 2x Arcanist, pEiryss, Strike Force, Invictors, Invictor's spood boosty guy, 2x Mage Hunter Assassins
Objective: Effigy of Valor

Scenario is Recon, glad this one stuck around from 2015, I like it.

Ret Deploy: The Elves won the roll, went first.
Proxy time!
Grey Jack on the left = the Hydra
White bloke next to him is an Arcanist
White Jack on the right = Hypnos
Sentinels on the far right = Invictors
Strike Force, Eiryss, Sylyss, Assassins, Ossyan are the actual models!

Merc Deploy: I pick the side that lacked a super annoying forest. The crocs meant I at least had some models that could move through the water.
My proxies are the assassins representing the Eliminators.

Ret 1: It all moves forward, Hydra gets powered up. Invictors cling to a hill with Quicken.

Merc 1: Well, Ossyan's feat is incoming, can't really stop that. plan is to throw away the Crocs/Kayazy to take away Invictor shots, bunker up Gorten. Depending on what pieces I have and whether I can pop the Objective determines my turn 2 plan.
The Rhulic Jacks mostly bunker up next to my Objective in front of Gorten.
The Pigs move forward, a Gunner then headbutts him down for Feign Death.
Aiyanna and Holt go way forward than they should, in range to Harm the objective if they live, or to set off Savio's Righteous Vengeance if they die.
Crocs and Kayazy go way to the right, they don't submerge as that would be counter to the point of them going that way. Also there wasn't something to charge for ideal placement.Probably should have just put them in the water, but oh well, concealment only does so much against Deadeye with base Defence12.

Ret 2: Sure enough, Ossyan comes forward and feats. He also puts a def/speed debuff (With his gun?) on the right Basher.
The Elves then do their unit mini-feats and blow up the world.
The Invictors kill the Eliminators, then kill Wrongeye to the box. Snapjaw, being the Cat of Lesser Warlock beasts, sods off without a care.
The net result is Acosta, Aiyanna, Holt, one Basher also die. All teh Rhulic Jacks and Gorten suffer shadowbind. The Blaster in front of Gorten loses it's Cortex.
A Mage Hunter Assassin is also left engaging the remaining debuffed Basher.

Merc 2:Ossyan is within 14 of Gorten, so it's kill time.
All the Rhulic Jacks that can shake of Shadowbind as does Gorten.
A gunner moves a little to the right, to then be slammed over the engaging Mage Hunter Assassin. The solo doesn't die but gets knocked down (There's only so much you can expect from Strength 6 after all....).
The Basher slams across into a Strike Force member, Defence 14 is still golden as I miss the boosted eight. It's not ideal, but he's placed well enough to stop my feat jamming up the Pigs.
Gorten moves up, drags Ossyan and Strikeforce forward. Most chock up on Light jacks or the Basher.
Gorten then does an Eruption on Ossyan for a bunch of damage.
Ninja Pig then pops smoke, killing two Strikeforce, Brine goes into Ossyan and kills him with a couple Fury to spare.

Happy with that, had I used the Earthbreaker I expect it would have been deleted under Ossyan's feat and I'd have been max sad pander. And Ninja Pig!
