Mirage
Why yes tubes of self personification, I am super down for the Backstreet Boys to be making more....."music". Mumford and Sons peaked early, then stopped saying "fucked" to much. I think.
Yeah, may have had a few beers before this write up. Also a game behind report wise, starting to wonder of Barny is a white whale.
Playing against Iona. Much Tharn. Many wows. Enemy has ambushers, which only dicks use. Tsk tsk for shame. Just remember the dashound is best of all.
Changed the battlegroup a bit, downgraded the Spitter to a...candle covered arcnode esque thing ("esque" because that animus is cold slimy garbage). Mined a Croak unit to get in a Sacral Vault, plus tinkering with free models.Yep, got that burned at not having Arcane Vortex,not that I position with that in mind anyway.
Milli Vanilli may have been lip syncers, but damn did they lip sync to the max. A mate started randomly quoting Strawberry kisses today, apparently knowing the details of Nikki Websters life is weird (It goes Olympic act > Short shitty pop career > Cover of Zoo magazine > done).
This looks like a bit of a garbo matchup. Corpse competition, Phantasm, Prowl around the place (albeit not as much as I mistakenly thought), Overtake chewing through units. Blergh.
Expectation is Croak Raiders are going to have to charge rather than try shots and scenario is going to be pushed.
Lost the roll, took the side with a pair of clouds basically to stop the Prowl headaches. Circle get a defensive obstruction, however it also offers good contesting possibilities late game, this being a live scenario the intent is to just push that aspect anyway.

Round 1: We run at each other. There's ambushing Blood Weavers, so the Vault anchors one side as they are smucky one wound models and will melt like a wicked witch of they do anywhere near.
Circle runs stuff forward, the Goat head thingy gets Sure Foot and clings to the building with Iona behind it.
In my turn, the left min unit of croaks shuffle and do some pew pews, killing a Gallows Grove and surprisingly managing to hit a Wolfrider Champ and burn him to death. Good work fellas.
The right Croaks aren't seeing as hot a shooting environment, as triggering vengeance on the Ravagers seems decidely not great. Instead they mostly run around, aside from three that charge up and kill the smaller one of Bridget/Call, the one that gives all the abilities stuff.
Learnt a little bit from previous games at least, a Bone Swarm runs up ready to Swarm up Barny. Oh. That's it. Thought I'd have more "look at what I learned!" points. Drat.

Circle 2: Left Ravagers pop their mini feat and charge in, alas it was mistimed as only a couple could get charges in and they pop relatively few expendable Croaks/Shamblers.
Iona and Goat stay chilling behind the building. Ravagers run up in front.
Ambushers pop in from the right and kill the Totem Hunter plus a stack of shamblers.

Minion 2: The Stalker is maxed on Fury, so I think I have a good assassination run.
The Blindwalker pops his animus, kills some Croaks who are Pursuited anyway (Involved an illegal power attack, ultimately didn't affect how the turn played out).
Two Ravagers in the way, Pots go in to drag them away. One succeeds, the other missed. Imph. Totem Hunter ends up going in to pop him and settle his hash.
Barny goes, arcs a Hunters Mark on the enemy objective, charges in to make attacks on the blocking goat and Iona. Kills the goat, feats on a stack of shamblers to refuel. First boosted 8 hits Iona, takes out most of her health (No transfer targets at this point). I miss the second attack. Womp wauuuuuugh. She dodges away.
Well......shit. We're boned. Remaining bit pieces move around.

Circle 3: Ravagers kinda suck a bit, winging Barny for a chunk though really I thought they'd kill him. Iona ends up charging in to get it done.
Should have puppet mastered. Mistakes were made.
