Thexus1 (Operating Theater) - 2x Wardens, Subduer, 3x Slavers, 2x Benders, Alexia with Dominator, 2x Overlords
vs
Denegra1 (Ghost Fleet) - 2x Bone Jack, 2x Stalker, Wraith Engine, 3x Min revenant Crew + Rifles (Two lots of 3, one lot of 2), Pistol Wraith, Hellslinger, Black Banes, Rengrave
Match panned out as being a little non-entityous, so I'll short form this one. Scenario was Breakdown/barbell, signature terrain piece being a Cryx side favoured obstruction. Cryx won the roll and went first, I chose my side as it gave better options to aggresively seize the centre (Plus Ghost Shot interacting the way it does with Stealth/Sac Pawn muting the value of Cover/Concealment).

Round 1: Cryx run up, Black Banes up on the right, Wraith Engine Behind, Stalkers behind the centre obstruction (Ah, this old chestnut again).
I run up my own stuff, keeping Wardens near Thexus for Sac Pawn, Alexia in the mix as well for a reasonable soul collection location, not that Deathbound is friendly to her desires.

Cryx 2: Arc Node runs forward, Denny goes up behind the obstruction and pops Parasite on the right Warden, plus Scourge to knock down him and Alexia.
The various Revenant Rifles do CRA's on Alexia, they roll poorly and one gets Shield Guarded, net result is a handfull of Risen die. Black banes move up a short way, tough out a Drudge who is on fire.

Merc 2: Thexus feats to move Revenants out of the way, TK's the Warden forward and the Bone Jack around, Pink drudges get Adrenalled. Warden slams the Node over Denny, two Adrenal Drudges go into her and kill her with ease.
Well, that felt good. Not representative of what will happen in the matchup, but dammit sometimes you just have to kick something. If Denny feats then I focus on clearing the zone as much as I can, with the centre and the left being doable. Stalkers are just the worst, both in human and jack form.
