Epic Pit
Don't drink from your deodorant canister, it doesn't really work.
So...yeah, sod the Merc meme lists. I'm not enjoying them that much and I've got enough other junk going on, so out popped Arkadius and Raskilicous. The standard Arkadius build I've had for a while and the Rask with all the Boneswarm friends.
Said Rask list is basically for a fighting chance into Primal Terrors, so there being no Legion players on the day made that a bad read of the locality. Oh well. Otherwise there's some Cryx and Ossrum that would be a tough game, plus one Gorten list that was a hard red for me (Feat vs low model count lists is an ugly equation).
I also dropped my case on the way to the venue, so one Road Hog spent the the tourney as a pair of legs on a base. Screw this metal model nonsense, bring the other stuff on. Bar the Hydra (Skorne one, not whatever the Ret thing is).
The opening round is a returning Vet from dim days of opposing Bane Units going all out of activation on each other, in for his second game of Mark 3 for the opening round of the tourney. Bold.
It's a monolisting of Baldur2 with double Woldwrath, so that's a thing. I win the die roll to go first and epic Pit is set out on the centre line, so the plan is to just run up and jam out of scenario. Much Bacon must be squished by stone alas.

Round 1: My stuff all runs up, Aggravator pops up. I'm reasonably content that I can kill one Wold Wrath over the course of the game, so the real concern point is Megalith out on the left getting up to the left zone. A Road Hog/Gorax crew go out that way with the dream of abusing ghostly.
The Wraths walk up and throw out some shots, chipping at the rightmost War Hog.
A rockwall gets plonked down in front of the Gargantuans.

Minion 2: What the? This rock wall stuff is bullshit! aka neither of the casters I'm having it, ergo it's clearly unfair.
Anyway, could get a bunch of stuff into the Wold Wraths, ultimately though I'm better off dribbling stuff in and waiting it out.
Hutchuck pops in off the right, Rusts the right Woldwrath.
Orin zaps away the manikins, letting one of the Road Hogs assault up, setting a solo on fire, punching the Sentry Stone to death then sprinting backward.
One War Hog gets up into the right Wold Wrath, wasn't expecting to kill it. This is good, 'cause he sure didn't.
Couple Razor Boars run up to be in the way, otherwise stuff sits around and whistles.

Circle 2: Fire kills the Wayfarer (I think? One of the dudes obsessed with their cloak colour anyway).
The right Wold Wrath smacks down the War Hog that bounced off of him, after he gets repaired up to mid-30's health.
Left Wold Wrath tramples over the blocking Razor Boars. This gets to the War Hog behind the forest, not to worried as he's incredibly likely to survive on a couple boxes then punch back and remove most of its health. Except I was dead wrong and the 'hog imploded. Woops.
Baldur kills the Razor boar that got trampled over, pops his feat and camps a focus stack.
Fortunately Megalith gets stuck on his own blocking Razor Boar, killing him but not advancing, simplifying scoring for me next round.
I get the right rectangle zone, now 1-0.

Minion 3: Hutchuck engage support models after Rusting the damaged Wold Wrath.
Buffed up Road Hog kills it, then sprints to join all the medium base warbeasts going around the central Wold Wrath to stop it trampling anywhere.
Swamp Gobber Chef raises it's mighty fork and runs toward Megalith, eager to cook up the dead Razor Boar. Or something. He's not going there to live, tell his progeny it was a noble sacrifice.
Left Road Hog kills the objective without to much issue, I score both rectangles to go up 4-0.

Circle splatters more of my stuff, then I win on scenario.
Should have blocked with the Battle Boar early on to stop the trample. Not like there were infantry models to kill.
That's the morning cobwebs out of the way, hopefully the future involves less arm 23 things with sacred ward. Not getting to Grasp some Cripples makes the numbers on killing those gargs to dicey for my tastes.
Round 1 dusted, a bunch more to go!
I spent way to long trying and failing to find the rocks attack gif I pictured in my mind.
