Epic Recon
Third round, pair down into glorious ruskies.
Vlad 2 Armoured Corp or Vlad1 Winter Guard.
The Winterguard get dropped, so once again Arkadius has scooped into the easier matchup, as he's got the speed to get up in there and start mauling away.
Epic Recon favours Will Work for Food as well, so that's nice. There's a defensive central cloud for Arkadius to hide behind, so popping the Spriggan would be pretty good.
I won the roll and picked first.

Round 1: We run at each other. Notably the Carriage goes way up on the right and each Khador jack pops up at the Khador edge of the zone. The Rockets are strung out amongst the various riflemen units.

Minion 2: Dammit, word must have got around at this point. Vlad is suuuper far back. Not the end of the world, can just kill other stuff.
The Battle Boar has Forced Evo from the get go so that he survives to get amongst the infantry, said piggy and the right War Hog get Primalled.
I wanted to also send something into the Spriggan, I opted not to as the Road Hogs are better off lining up super sweet sprays to clinch the attrition games later on, as well as killing said Khador heavy. In theory.
Razor Boars run and Arkadius feats, moving War Hogs and the Battle Boar up, Razor Boars maul some of the rockets.
I also forget to frenzy a couple Razor Boars out on the left.

The left War Hog goes into the Marauder, hurts itself for damage. Rolls like garbage, only stripping away one arm. Right War Hog is Primalled, used feat to get around the house. Goes into the Carriage that Hutchuck Rusted, just barely kills it. Hmm.
Hutchuck himself engages with the Winterguard rockety crew dudes.
Battle Boar is Primalled, gets up the centre, kills six dudes and falls shy of getting to Kovnik Joe. Meh, good enough.
Arkadius camps a fair bit and hides behind the Road Hogs.

Khador 2: The Jacks go first, they join the War Hogs in vague ineptitude land as the Marauder leaves the War Hog in front of him on half a dozen boxes and the Spriggan kills one Razor Boar, takes the mind out on another.
Vlad then pops Signs and Portents, charges the Battle Boar. Even with his buff he flubbs the rolls and does a tiny scrape of damage.
Aiyanna Kisses one of the Road Hogs, various rockets and CRA's start going off, they Hyper Aggressive that Roadie up into melee with a Winter Guard dude, then Arkadius gets shot four times. I camped 5 Fury, so it all gets flocked around the place, basically the best Fury management I could ask for. Not that Khador was in a great position after both the Jacks and Vlad absolutely fluffed up.
The Gobber Chef I through over to my flag also got popped, so no free score for me.

Minion 3: The Battle Boar was Primalled, so frenzies on flag. Spikes hard and does five damage. Clearly a sign from Moccus. There were also a couple other frenzies, mainly the War Hog on the right who goes into a Rocketeer and misses.
Left War Hog kills the Marauder to ensure a clean lane.
Arkadius jabs the Road Hog next to him with adrenaline, heals things then tries repoing to a defensive wall, doesn't quite get within one inch of it so that could be quite bad if this kill run doesn't work out.
Back Adrenalled Road Hog dials up for speed, walks across and flamethrowers a pack of Winterguard away, freeing up the now Primalled and Forced Evo'd Road Hog to go into Vlad, crit knockdowns the charge attack and eats him without to much issue.
Um....nom nom when Bacon eats you?
One of the four undefeated, the others to get through are a pair of Cryx, both quite scary, and a Grymkin that doesn't have a good Arkadius drop. Really hoping the Cryxites duel it out for the least problematic path forward.
