Standoff
10 days between games? Inhumane. Inapeane mayhap. Stanley Tucci would not stand for this.
Had a shorty against the Wanderer, both lists being learnt and a game with abrupt pull out, so no vast vistas of conclusion to make really. Present Kraye is triple Centurions, some Chargers and a Minuteman.
Minutemen look neat, I find it bizarre they aren't used more. Specifically I wanted something that could get up the board to apply feat without flipping over to Sons of the Tempest.
Currently have Junior with a Sentinel, I'm rather torn on if he should even be in the list. Testing pending.
I also have Lynus and Edrea in the list. Conveniently for an extra attack to potentially pop stealth models, and here we have some juicy Gremlin Swarms.
Wanderer wins the roll and picks first, I get a side with some defensive stuff, in particular a nice wall in my zone whereas the Grymkin will be funneled by an inconvenient obstruction.
Grymkin run, not as aggressively as they should, fearing the mighty Minuteman.
I then move up, the Centurions Trampling and Polarity Fielding. There's a Gorehound on each flank, I move up to shoot one. Prowl and Fog of War aye? Whoops. Good things Repo 5 is basically the most forgiving mechanic ever.
Grymkin push up lightly, contesting the left zone with some Dread rots while the right side gets a Gore hound and a Gremlin Swarm.

Left wise, Centurions and one Charger kill the three Dreadrots in that zone. Junior's Sentry surrenders itself for the greater good to go up into the Grymkin rectangle. Rightside the Minuteman hops forward, throws the Gorehound towards my side where the Chargers can move in and kill it.
A Gremlin Swarm and a Crabbit are also killed, ultimately not a huge issue as the concession drops when I score up 3-0.
I don't think its that bad. Grymkin can just push up the guts, use a Skin and Moans to pop my objective and make it 3-2, my forces now being so divided that getting magic weapons out left to kill contesting Gremlin swarms is going to be extremely difficult. Contesting the Grymkin rectangle also isn't something the list does especially well.
Anyway, Kraye seems sweet, though ultimately my current list design and play style hasn't made use of his feat at all. Early days.
