I'd planned on this being the glorious arrival of my Convergence, but my conversion were taking far to long and my mini's budget got blown on Cephalyx stuff, so golden oldie faction it is!
Magnus1 - Mangler, Rover
Mangled Metal, or as I call it, utter nonsense. Win by destroying the opposing battlegroup or assassinating.
Match 1: When Eggs roll!

Into the first man, but the faithful iteration as seen by the Menite forces.
So...we'll get this out of the way: Magnus1 and a Rover is kind've bullshit at this level.
It's eggman (Malekus1), some heavy combustiony jack, couple lights.
So I snipe the Rover, back up after the initial run forward turn, do a fully boosted shot and hang back. I do this, killing a light after a few turns, everything gets pushed forward, I charge in, kill the other light and fall back with feat. After a while the Heavy jack sighs at my impudence and has to move up into death range from the Mangler.
Round 2: Lightsfantastical

It's then into Jacobian, running with Trolls. It's Ragnar and an Axer, Bouncer and Impaler.
This went for a few turns, again my Sniped Rover pew pewing then falling back. The Trolls weren't as defenseless to this nonsense, the Bouncer Shield Guarded after the Axer took some early hits, the Impaler made some attacks and Regeneration/Fury healing made back some of the damage.
Eventually, after a long load of turns werein I was slowly pulling ahead, Ragnar feated and all three Lights tried to go down my throat.
The Mauler/Rover got fully loaded, courtesy of the pre-damage they punched through the feat to kill the Bouncer and Axer, then Magnus feated and the Rover pulled back.
After that the Mangler died to Ragnar/the Impaler, then Scourge and the Rover killed the remaining light.
Round 3: Mad Dog Maddox.

The Gordian Knot xp grabber threw down some Swans.
Cygnar get Maddox, a Firefly, Lancer and an Ironclad.
I gun down the Firefly, Mangler swings at the Lancer and takes out the Spear. I feat and pull back to a convenient pillar.
The Lancer, courtesy of Assail, goes into the Mangler and rips off his Cortex with his shield.
After that the Mangler kills the Lancer, the Rover/Magnus pair fall back. The Ironclad kills the Mangler, loses an arm to a Rover shot. Ironclad tries a suicide run, Rover charges and kills it.
Round 4: The Undead Menace

Into the other undefeated player of the night, El Marteneese with the equally fair and balanced Battle Box.
Agatha1 - Reaper, Slayer, Bitey node
I run up first, then the Necrojunk runs up. Mert hasn't accounted for the threat ranges, so the Mangler gets a charge into the armour buffed Reaper. I roll miserably on my initial attacks, but spike it up to take out an arm. Magnus and the Rover shoot out the movement of the Slayer, feat moves throw everything backward.
I stuff up my placement, so the Reaper drags in my Rover after the Node throws Parasite on it.
The Reaper rolls terribly for damage, without Movement the Slayer can't make it either.
After that the Mangler goes in, kills the Heavies, the Rover then walks over and kills the Arc Node.
Some bemusing running around, having the best gun on the field with no scenario did make it a bit farcical. If I get anymore Mangled Metal games in I'll see if my opponents are down with some Take and Hold action.
