Epic Pit
Something about a new dawn and Dracula screaming at the moon.
It's the last of the Round Robin games, at 2-2 a win puts us in the middle of the pack as planned.
I just made a Carver list trying to fit in all the tools for Primal Terrors. It made me unreasonably angry as a list, primarily because it looks like hot garbage.
Anyhoo, mostly happy with whatever into this team, outside of a Ret list that might be quite annoying with it's double space ticks. I end up into the Khador, I pick a table with a central obstruction. No real idea on either list, didn't change what I was dropping.

Round 1: Curse your light reflective table oh image of the sea!
Remember Dreadfleet? Me neither.
I run my stuff up, relatively even spread. Flanking Razor Boars, Road Hogs in front of Arkadius for Raw Adrenaline possibilities.
Khador throws Doom Reavers around, the Kodiak pops behind the obstruction.

Minion 2: SHINY CHIN SHE'S GOT A SHINY CHIN. I JUST CAN'T GET OVER HER SHINY CHIN.
It's Alpha time to clear out the screen and set up scenario win. It's time to feat and keep Arkadius safe.
Razor Boars go out and kill most of the Doom Reavers, Hutchuck pops in and flails at Eiryss, the right Road Hog Assaults to set Fenris on fire then sprints back to the safety of the wall.
Arkadius shuffles left and feats, sending the Razor Boars out again, one of them managing to gut Eiryss. Fury gets cleared off the Road Hog and Primal spends, last feat move is the left War Hog getting up the board.
Said buffed War Hog then uses Ghostly to charge while winging the obstruction to go into the Kodiak and kill it.
Arkadius ends up hiding behind the Battle Boar, the other Road Hog, the obstruction and a Gobber cloud. Guardian Beast in waiting as well.
Super solid turn, really like how safe Arkadius is.

Khador 2: Ternions move to toe the centre zone, between them and one of the Bad Santas they manage to Stationary the forward War Hog. Torch then charges in, rolls embarrassingly poorly and leaves the beast on halfish health, having lost its Spirit.
Rightwise the marshalled Destroyer, Doom Reavers and Fenris kill off the Razor Boars and put my objective on half health. Not without a Razor Boar Counter Charging and dismounting Fenris though, so that was kinda funny. To me. Not everyone was equally amused by the quant murder qualities of mini-piggies.

Minion 3: The War Hog Frenzies and dings Torch. In true First World Warmachine problems, the War Hog surviving prevents the Road Hog going in to kill Torch. However, it did prevent Torch toeing the zone, so I can clear out all the zones and get a crippling control point lead.
Left zone, Rabo's finish off the last Doomreavers, a buffed up Gorax pops the objective.
Arkadius and entourage shuffle to the bottom of the centre zone, clouded up and happy. Road Hog flames down the contesting Ternion.
Right wise the other Road Hog goes in with Ghostly, kills the Doomreavers in the zone then Sprints back to behind the forest.
I score the zones and pop the objective, now up 4-0.
Khador kills the War Hog, then essentially concede after failing to get Overrun to trigger. Fair enough, even that isn't enough to get a credible threat on Arkadius anyway.
Our team wins the round, 3-2. The two pools now break down into mini-brackets, the mid ranking goal is looking pretty good.
