Breakdown
Thursday, the party night. Dollies-ness.
Arkadius1 (WWfF) - 3x Road Hogs, 3x Gorax, 8x Razor Boars, Battle Boar, Orin, Hutchuck, Targ, Gatormen Witch Doc, Bog Trog Trawler
vs
Severius1 (CM) - Templar, Blessing of Vengeance, 2x Vessel of Judgement, Rhoven, Avatar, 2x Vassal, Wracks, Choir
Working on that theory of "Dahlia and Swamp Gobbers are attrition pieces" I dumped them...like....yeah, no real life experience simile applies here, more about obvlisiously failing to get into relationships that loads of dumping happening.
Dropped two of the Rabo's as well, 10 was quite excessive.
Added in a third Road Hog and Gorax to maimise Primals and get more assassination sprays out there. Points left over became a Bog Trog Trawler to threaten the sides.
Lastly the Efaarit got swapped for a CID version of the Gatorman Witch Doc, his only relevant ability being Ghostly for a beast.
Somewhat tanky version of Menoth, lots of Shield Guards that thankfully I don't care about (Alas Gun Boars, your return is more unlikely every game). Sevvy is on the squish side, so let the flameyness get going!
Scenario is breakdown. That's nice.
There's a central Obstruction, clouds on either side, Menites win the roll and pick the side with a hill, forest and a long trench.
There's terrain on my side of the board, it doesn't come into it.

Minion 1: I thought I had a third Road Hog ready to go, I was extremely wrong. Enter Skarath, the proxy!
The forest forces Arkadius and his Adrenaline formation Road Hogs to the left of centre, though it isn't a position I hate.
The RaBo's split evenly up either side, as do the Primal bots.
Orin goes with the Road Hog blob, there's no way to stop something getting magic nuked, might as well be the models that don't matter as much.
Targ and Witch Doc stay in the backfield, chilling out like bros.
I throw up Aggravator, opposing list doesn't list like it's going to get anywhere near for Guardian to proc. Forced Evo goes on the Skarath Road Hog.

Menoth 1: The Vessels run up on the left. I christen (menisten?) them K and J.
Avatar gets Vision, pops Gaze, goes up the middle with the Templar. Sevvy, Covenant and Rhoven with his shitty High School band mates go behind the Heavies.
Blessed (Who has Defenders Ward) runs up the right into the end of the trench, arcs a couple.....whatsit....pew pew...bounce bounce....ouch....Ashes to Ashes, that's it. Kills one Razor Boar, hurts the two beside taking out both Spirits plus one Mind. Sevvy camps four.

Minion 2: Burn the old man! BURN! Old white guys are usually the villain anyway!
Hutchuck ambushes in off the left, Trawler pops in on the right. They kill a Wrack each.
Gator Witch Doc puts Ghostly on a Road Hog.
I drop Forced Evo off the Skarath Road Hog, Arkadius needs enemy models in his control area for the feat so he needs a space to move to. In that vein the Proxied Road Hog moves up and contests the centre zone from behind the obstruction, should be quite a safe spot.
Goraxi and Battle Boar shuffle around, Primal the two soon-to-be-suicide-squad Road Hogs and one of the right Razor Boars. Razors Boars animus if they can and move to frenzy spots using Mark 2 Arkadius tech.
Arkady stabs two of the Roads Hogs with Adrenaline, puts FOrced Evo on one of them, repos to be exactly 14 from the rightmost Battle Engine, feats.
This sends two of the left Razor Boars into the left most Battle Engine where they scratch it lightly. Ah, the gentle caress of attacking Bacon Bits.
The two Primalled Road Hogs go up toward the right-ier Vessel.
Far right, the most damaged Razor Boar charges the last Wrack, turns out it explodes on Disabled so my Snacking dreams were for nought. The Boar dies to said explosion. The other two go into the back of Blessed, Defenders Ward makes it to tough and they only scratch the paint.
The first Primalled Road Hog, the one with Forced Evo on it, assaults the J of the Battle Engines (Right one of the two). The Adrenalled spray kills a mechanic, hurts the Covenant, hits Sevvy for average damage. He then buys attacks, manages to kill the Battle Engine, alas he maxes Fury to do it so no Sprint hilarity.
The other Road Hog....is in Gaze range. Sod. I want to hurt for speed, assault Sevvy, kill a dude and sprint to engage him, that was never a workable plan. Cursed Mee-noth, think about others for a change.
Well, a less useful commitment it is. The Road Hog assaults one of Rhoven's Bros, kills him with the spray so the Sprint really wasn't going to happen. Another damage roll on Sevvy, this one strips him of most of his health, leaves him on three boxes.
Avatar Visions the first attack roll, I then max out Fury and do small amounts of damage.
Well, there's always fire.
Last bit piece activation's, two of the left Rabos just moved to body block Arkadius and absorb Vessel of Judgement bounces. Orin goes up next to the box and Stealths. Targ runs up the far left, as I expect Herding will probably have to be used next turn.

Menoth 2: Fire goes out. Sadface.
Remaining repair flunkies fix up the Vessel of Judgement, which then pushes the two Razor Boars and one Road Hog away, sets them on fire. It then moves to toe the left zone, which lets the Razor Boars Counter Charge it for a bit more damage.
The Vessel then pops a shot into the Road Hog, does a reasonable whack, then Reloads, shoots Hutchuck down to one box. The best of Ogruns.
Rhoven, his remaining Buddy Cop and the Avatar slap the crap out of the forward most Road Hog, easily killing it. Avatar then pops Gaze. The Book pops on the hill, does the no spell gambit. Templar runs to contest the centre zone. Sevvy goes onto the hill, just taps Arkadius with his control area and feats.
Rightwise, Blessing of Vengeance wiggles around a bit, stabs down the two Razor Boars that flailed at him. No less than they deserve really.

Minion 3: Fire kills one of the left Rabo, healing the other a little by the power of Bacon. The Forced Evo Hog frenzies on the Vessel, does a bit more damage. Both flank Gorax that cast Primal frenzy forward.
Well, Sevvy has camp, but also three Fury. Let's gamble!
The reserve Road Hog moves up next to the obstruction, lands the boosted 11 to hit, gets the boosted 9 to kill.
Long term prospects were looking pretty painful. Can't Primal Shock Sevvy (Sodding Menoth Casters). Reserve Road Hog proved pretty clutch. Probably going to cram in another.
