There was a refusal to state the type of game desired, ergo I trot out my old favourite:
Gorten1 - 2x Driller, 2x Blaster, 2x Gunner, Wrongeye + Snapjaw, Rorsh + Brine, Acosta, 2x Kayazy Eliminators, Ragman, Aiyanna+Holt, Tinker
Objective: Bunker
Today's Nightmare Empire bros and bro-ets:
Goreshade2 - Nightmare, 2x Bitey nodes, Withershadow for something different, Satyxis Raiders + UA, Bane Knights, Soul Hunters, Machine Wraith, Gorman, 6 scrappy dudes for feat
Objective: Effigy of Valor
Scenario is Recon, which is excellent for me. Nothing is immune to pushes accept the Machine Wraith, the table is laden with forests but the green blob in the zone is a hill.

Cryx 1: The deadites win the roll, stuff runs forward.
Banes Knights on the left, Soulhunters up the guts, Satyxis on the right.
Gorten is Nightmare's prey, Soulhunters get Occultation, Satyxis get Mirage.

Merc 1: Simple enough, plan is to push scenario hard, so set up is to not get jammed up to badly and position things to pop the objective.
There's a large, awkward forest on the right of my deploy, which forces the pigs to get placed super awkwardly forward in totally-going-to-die range.
Spray Bunnies, Eliminators and Beasts go to the right flank, across from the Satyxis. Wrongeye puts up Star Crossed for the central blob of stuff.
Jacks and other stuff go behind the Objective, Gorten throws up a wall to stop the Soulhunters charging him.

Cryx 2: Goreshade goes up behind the Cryx objective, we have a quick break as I get distracted rolling my eyes at what happened to the C'tan. I liked them dammit! What's this shard crap?!
Um....anyway, Goreshade throws out his placement spell to move Brine up and spin him around, then throws down Curse of Shadows on him.
The Satyxis then charge and easily kil big pig and his two attendant Eliminators. Alas.
The Soul Hunters then charge the central block, star crossed messes them up quite badly, they still manage to take out Snapjaw's Mind though.
The Banes spread out in the zone, support junk stays hiding up the back, Gorman goes into the top of the zone and pops a cloud.

Merc 2: Time to enact the plan.
On Bunny runs out of the way, copping a Soul Hunter free strike that knocks off his head.
Gorten then moves in, feat pushes most things toward the left.
Acosta and the Eliminators kill the objective and Gorman, Spray Bunnies, Rorsh, Driller and Snapjaw all kill the Soulhunters and all bar two of the Satyxis. I had no idea Rorsh was MAT 7. Glorious. Then again it is the first time I've made a melee attack with him....
Wrongeye hides behind the objectives, put up star crossed again and submerges.
I meant to put a protective wall in front of Gorten, oh well. I go to 3 CP.

Cryx 3: Gorten is thankfully an inch out of Nightmare coming in and gutting him.
The Satyxis come in, then Goreshade feats a load of them back.
Acosta dies to the Withershadow, one Driller gets placed across and mauled by Nightmare.

Merc 3: I have to pop Nightmare and a couple Satyxis and I scenario it out.
Nightmare gets Harmed by Aiyanna, various Hand Guns then mauled him quite badly.
It takes the Spray Bunnies, Ragman and a Driller throw but the relevant Satyxis fall down. Wrongeye heals Snapjaws mind, the Big Crocs charge attack kills Nightmare, job done.
Pretty standard Gortening. Sweet sweet Recon.
