Epic Pit/Championship Belt
So....we're going into the final round before the finals and just, this is the cross the pool game into another pack of Northerners. It being the other pool we had a half formed Grid, the worst of mine was that four of my matchups were coin flip Cyphon drops. Eww.
Matchups happen. We end up picking tables. Turns out this was so no one had to move their mini's,the greatest of all strategic plays.
Surprisingly I get one of the two Troll drops. The only one that I marked as both a Green and Gorten. Woot!
Same table as last game, minus the Llaelese terrain.
It's Madrak1 with loads of Kriels. Medium based dudes for dayzzzzz. Basically a game where no one can be knocked down.

I end up switching board side, so now I have a forest and burning cloud.
For the first time in the tourney someone brings up theme benefits and I realise I hadn't used my Advance Moves on my Bashers all tourney. Such skills.
Round 1: Everyone runs at each other. Had I been a smart boy then a couple Press Gangers would have been lit off the burning cloud to fuel up Alexia.
Madrak ends up moving up much further forward than expected, behind the front two lines of clumped up Kriels.
Madrak feats.
Gorten 2: Sod it, Madrak is well within reach. Quick games a good game.
A Basher moves out of the way first, then Grogspar punches Gorten forward enough for the kill run (Super unsure on the punch distance now, it was far enough).
Left Pressgangers move forward, they do a pathetic effort on the Kriel warriors. Mweh, they are their to body block.
Gorten shuffles forward, throws out an Eruption at the Kriels, it scatters a couple inches but is still good. Gorten feats forward 5 Kriels and Madrak. Eruption pops one of the Kriels, which was annoyingly fewer than planned. Madrak also gets chipped.
Madrak can't be charged, not to big of an issue. Just got to clear a Kriel Warrior and Acosta can walk in.
Spray Bunny doesn't succeed. A couple bit attacks don't work.
Getting a little desperate, the right blue pressgangers move around, the Lass seduces a Kriel who wanders up and tries to swing at another, turns out these Trolls are garbage at killing each other.
I've messed up super bad. A blue Pressganger is engaging Madrak and was meant to move away (Doesn't matter if Freestrike kills him). Instead Madrak is engaged before he can get hosed. After flailing around for a better option, I end up having to use a Gun Bunny to kill the offending Ganger, sadly he has a buddy in the way that's going to stop Acosta getting in. Balls.
Eiryss moves up, pings Madrak and takes away his Fury. Remaining Gun Bunnies wing in some hits, one gets Scrolled. Only thing I can get in is a Basher with two focus. I need 7's to hit, basically comes down to a pair of tough rolls and Madrak can easily lop off Gortens head.
Thankfully it all works out. Woot woot!

Pretty sure we win this round 3-2? Either way we end up 6th, so mission success!
List wise, Gorten has to lose the Bashers. Never needed to slam, everytime they came up it was to walk forward and punch something in which the other Dwarf jacks would have been better. Going down to speed 4 is lame however such is life.
Next builds will either see adding in normal Dwarf jacks or magor list changes to get the new Galleon in for the 2 inches added to Gortens threat range.
Cyphon, it's been real, a better pairing must be made when I work out what that is. Besides Ossrum, HE'S BORING DAMMIT.
Team tourneys are great, wish there were more I could realistically make.
