So, in an attempt to try to switch to a more assassinationy style gameplay I threw together the following to my immediate regret:
Magnus2 - Nomad, 2x Renegade, Rorsh + Brine, Wrongeye + Snapjaw, Dahlia + Skarath, Sylyss Wyshesforfishes, 2x Eliminators, Taryn, Hawk
Objective: Bunker
Yeah, I know. I know.
First pick up game into Skaverous, which is awful.
Skaverous1 - 2x Bitey bone chicken nide, Barathrum, traitor Wrongeye + Snapjaw, Croes, Satyxis Raiders, 2x Machine Wraiths, Withershadow
Objective: Fuel Cache
Deployments: I lost the roll and get given second, scenario is Recon. No terrain of immense benefit to me

Cryx 1: All the stuff runs forward fast!

Merc 1: It's already bad. For my feat to matter I need to be up the board, but I don't know how I don't die. I Bullet dodger the Snake, because its amusing to me, stuff runs up. I place Magnus poorly.

Cryx 2: Arcnode runs up, Skavvy feats, TK's the Renegade and Magnus out and around.
Machine Wraith charges in, takes over the Renegade, who walks up a bit and uses an Obliterator Rocket on Magnus, who then gets shot down by Croes.
Sounds about right. Control is bad.
Magnus could have full camped and stayed behind Submerged models to make the TK more difficult, but I think that delays the inevitable. If I feat turn one I don't get Skaverous or the Arc Node, TK can shift models outside of the feat border if they matter.
I'm sure good Magnus 2 lists exist, possibly even assassination ones. But this iteration in this matchup sure isn't it. It does get at least one more go though....
