The
Steamrollers that I played earlier in December have really thrown a
spanner in the works in terms of my list pair. I wasn’t expecting
to like Goreshade so much, nor was I expecting him to have game into
such a wide field. As a result, I decided to put my Vyros2/Elara2
pair on hold for a while, and see if I could find a pair for
Goreshade that I liked. And then I got a notice that my Tridents were
in the UK, and list writing began in earnest. A bit of collaboration
with some other Ret players later and I had come up with the above
Issyria list. I quick paint job on the Tridents and I was ready to
go. Sean was my opponent again, with a slightly modified Ossrum list,
and with him going first we got moving.
Ossrum
puts up Fire
for Effect on
the artillery, before everything runs up the table, sped up slightly
by Energizer.
I
put up Admonition
onto
the Phoenix, Inviolable
Resolve onto
the Sentinels and Velocity
up
into at trench. My deployment and turn 1 are a bit of a mess to be
honest, but it’s my first time with the list and my first with some
very mobile huge bases, so there’s a bit of a learning curve. I’m
also terrified of Gorman, so concentrate on getting my Tridents away
from him.
Sean
shoots off my Destors and continues to push up the table, with the
Basher running aggressively into my lines under Bullet
Dodger.
Anastasia and Hutchuk ambush on the left and right respectively, the
former taking out a badly placed Eiryss.
I
have a line onto Gorman with my left Trident, so that becomes my
focus for the turn. My Sentinels charge in, taking out one gun bunny
and crippling a Blaster, 3 charging and dealing reasonable damage to
the Basher. Imperatus takes out Anastasia but unfortunately missed
the Basher, allowing it to dodge away. The Trident takes out Gorman
and the Cortex of the Basher, the Artificer deals with Hutchuk and
the right Trident removes another Gunner. A reasonable turn.
And
then Issyria gets shot to death.
DEFEAT
I
don’t mean to diminish this game in any way but this was a
frustrating way to lose. 3 shots that could get on her needing
boosted 13s to hit all hitting and killing her was a bit much. But
these things happen I suppose. I liked the feel of the list up to
that point, and that was all without Issy’s Feat, so I can’t wait
to get it back on the table.
