Epic Recon (v2.3, ye slight flag shuffle)
Had a quick bash on the zap night commemorating Gyebaek's not very good day.
Laziness compelled me to randomise the terrain. I lose the die roll, get given second.It's realy a choice between a conjoined pair of walls or a cloud, I opt for the walls given my significantly better pathfinder options, though adding Veil of mists to the cloud bank would have made me happy as well.
Grymkin run forward as a brick with flanking Gorehounds. One S & M runs just into range of Alten and the Efaarit, so they move up and knock it down to 15 boxes. Pretty happy with that. I feat on the bottom of 1 which felt sad.
Second round Grymkin move up somewhat more cautiously, the pair of Crabbits hover over to the injured Skin and Moans. One of the Gore Hounds was designated as the Totem Hunters Prey, so that fella runs out to the left. The unfortunate result of Prey against a battle group heavy list, mayhap the Death Knell would have been a better option.
In any event, my bottom of two sees me get a bit stuck. I want to score the right zone, which means killing a pair of Dread Rots and a Gremlin swarm. This means triggering Sacrifice as the Crabbits will stop Alten applying Grievous wounds to him. Solvable with the application of mroe quality guns in the area, alas I lacked them. Better to pop Sacrifice now than later, not like Alten and the Efaarit are done with their damage for this game.
Dahlia and Skarath use the walls to contest the left zone. Good luck popping that nonsense, only thing Grymkin have is Force Hammer to threaten the flutist, boosted 13's to force a transfer. Glorious.
Alten and the Efaarit wing a Crabit on the right, Totem Hunter gets magic weapons and charges it. Rolls the 1 and 2 to miss it, so that's a shame. His shield pops the Gremlin Swarm then he sprints toward the right.
Attacks on the Dread Rots whiff pretty bad, so it looks like I'll only score one point this turn off my flag. Alas.
The Bone Swarms pop their animus and walk up onto the hill. Opposing list doesn't have a massive number of pieces, pretty sure whatever comes in to kill those things will let me trade up. One also has Admonition.
Grymkin 3 there's a large tank stop. The Dread Rots charge the Swarms, the Admonition one triggers it to move forward and shield his comrade.
Embarrasingly it takes two of the Skin and Moans to kill the fetid pile of skulls. Swarm successfully fills it's niche (Lots of missed boosted 8's).
A Gorehound goes into the Totem Hunter and kills him. Such evil. He's the only one of his kind until Zu come out! (Though I guess he stopped me a character in teh transition from Mark 2 to 3, so that statement doesn't mean very much). Then again, I don't give a sod about Zu.

Child ended up moving forward, so Rask lands a Paralyze shot and a Bone Swarm + Skarath kills it without to much trouble.
Bit awkward to write this one truth be told. Ultimately I won on clock and was always going to due to opposing analysis paralysis. I weighed up just doing a short paragraph deal, the Boneswarms using their Animus with success however jsut sticks with me. By the power of Swarm.
I'd forgotten just how much I liked Boneswarms.
