Outlast
Alas, the final round of the tournament. For us anyway, our team buzzes out from the final round, winning this one gets us to our glorious 6th position.
I'd ranked every match as Yellow, pretty sure every single one of those was wrong, they were actually either green or orange. Net result being I end up facing down the barrel of Cryx and Primal Terrors, I want neither. I pick the Legion, who convinced me they hadn't played their lists before the OTC. Now expecting the poor results of beig super conned.....

Legion get to pick table, they go with Outlast as a good scenario for the unit focused list and poor for the Workers for Fine Sustenance.
I also lose the roll for first, I pick the side with a good forest around my flag. Its not perfect, but is better than the opposing option of a wall.

Round 1: Both armies run at each other, I palce models so they can get past the forest.
The Warspears forgot to allocate a Prey, so that was unfortunate for 'ol Blighty. Legion beasts go central, Hellmouths out front, Spear units on either flank.
I Force Evo a War Hog, feeling hte sheer optimism that maybe this time I get to make an attack o the Blight Bringer.

Legion 2: The opposing threat ranges are quite limited, so things mostly run around. The Hellmouths activate early, so when the Blight Bringer pops a shot into the right Road Hog it happily Hyper Aggresives forward. Sadly enough Tentacles and Ogrun go in front of the Blight Bringer that my dreams of Gargantuan murder and halted before they can really begin.

Minion 2: Alright, I've learnt my lesson. Feat in with only a pair of Heavies this time. Thankfully the Hellmouths don't have any severe hidey holes to deal with.
Razor Boars pop blocking tentacles, then a War Hog and a Road Hog both get Primalled and go in.
They both pop a Hell Mouth and a pair of Ogrun apiece. One Rabo ends up next to the Legion flag, also eating an ogrun.
Beasts spread out in both zones, the left Road Hog flame throwers down an Ogrun. A Heavy sits in each zone in threat range of the outer edge.
Swamp Gobbers run to toe the right zone, Chef runs to my flag. Hutchuck also appeared, screamed "Biff" and left a War Chief on a couple boxes.
I score my flag and the right zone, 2-0.

Legion 3: Blight Bringer aims, shoots the War Hog in the right zone.
Typhon and the remaining nearby Ogrun go into the extreme forward War hog, Forced Evo proves problematic and the Piggy lives. Any minute now he'll sprout some wings as well.
The Ogrun on the right fair somewhat better, killing the Road Hog while the War Chief murers Hutchuck and smashes a nearby Razor Boar.
Alas, nothing was able to get up the board, so I score my flag again to go up 3-0

Minion 3: War Hog kills the requisite contesting Ogrun, I score the flag and right zone again. Game ends somewhat abruptly.
We win the round 3-2, confirming our 6th place placing with the last round bug out. Mild success is ours!
In theory I'll try Cygnar for Wintercon in a couple months, though we'll see how well that actually goes. If I end up with Winions again (Which, in fairness, I've had far more success with than Mercs) it'll need to have an anti-Legion list by the look of it, Maelok doesn't look like an anti Primal Terrors theme to me (Charging Posse with Mortality do not kill a pseudo arm 22 Hellmouth).
