Game 385/6/7 - Casuals x3

Alrighty, lot of stuff going on, reports are going to default to stubs most of the time at this point. Plus I'm doing a lot of screwing around rather than doing good consistent gameplay anyway, so this is a mercy for my future sojourns down vague-recall-past-events-avenue (the memory function of facebook exists so I can delete the shit I used to post). 

Game 385 - Morghoul1 (DoA) vs Wurmwood1 (DH)

Thing about Cyclop Shamans is they're pretty neat, it's a pew pew that ignores everything bar stealth. Fix that by throwing in some Mist Speakers. Hmmm.....sure would suck if they missed though. Better add some Cauldrons for Puppet Strings. Add some more Shamans for extra shots. Throw in Blindwalker to arc Torment casting and stop pesky transfers.

All in all the list is a horribly bloated mess relying on a limited attack gimmick.Wurmwood is tough enough to not care about the POW 12's really. The net result being that our stuff ran at each other, I get to kill key components (Shifting Stone, Cassius, Gallows Groves, Lord of the Feast) yet don't have the meat and substance to deal with the Tharn just moving around and attacking whatever is near to them, critically Caul (Or..Bridget? The bigger one of the character duo) ended up just swanning forward and contesting my defensive rectangle and I could do very little about it. Morghoul ran forward with feat desperate to press the issue, ultimately I got easily and quickly scenario'd out.

Just before my last turn, Wurmwood is stuck behind that obstruction. Circle is in proxy heaven.


Game 386 - Durgen1 (Irr) vs Old Witch3 (BitN)

Mid week pick up game! Random Skornio's has failed me, bored of Arkadius for the moment, don't enjoy playing Ossrum. Let's dig out some ......"sweet" trash Mercs.
Conceivably the worst list I've ever made. Durgen. Sylyss. Avalancher. Rockram. Mix of 7 Bunnies. The collection of buddy duos (Herne/Jonne, Aiyanna/Holt, LYNUS/EDREA). Pair of Eliminators to have some models that make sense aside from the Bunnies.

Into Windstorm. Nuts. Old Witch moves up swarms of dudes. Durgen moves up, the Grymkin models are so bunched up the AoE 5 pops.....11 dudes I think? Basically the attrition win is in the bag with that one cast, Bunnies run around Durgen to try to shield him. Grymkin nut out an assassination, which is basically Old Witch Charging Durgen. Kills him to the box with the last available attack.

This list is so trash it doesn't need examination.


Game 387 - Durgen1 (Irr) vs Skarre1 (DI)

The thing about having a follow up game on the same night is that it means you take your trash list and cut it down to 50 points. Into the Carapace Cryx. Hmmm.

Fortunately it had a bunch of not super cheap jacks and Eiryss spent the game disrupting Death Jack, with enough boosted attack rolls on Harmed jacks the attrition game swings my way and that's about it. Durgen still garbage.
