Game
3 on a Friday evening and I’m up against regular opponent and
former Pressganger Duncen. I decide it is the perfect time to try out
the silly list I’ve had planned for a while. Ravyn with 5 huge
bases and a load of solos designed to keep her alive. It isn’t
subtle, but I love the way it looks on the table. If you’re looking
for high level tactical play, this battle report isn’t for you.
Duncan won the first turn and we got moving.
Deneghra
puts up Grave
Wind on
herself and gives the Bloodgorgers Ghost
Walk to
get them through the water in front of them.
Ravyn
casts Snipe
on
herself and walks up to shoot into a group of bunched up Trolls with
a Blaster
shot,
killing 3 and Swift
Hunting back.
She switches Snipe
onto
a Trident which moves up and kills another. Everything else just runs
up to take board position.
Duncan
puts out Mortality
on
the right Trident and Hyperion. He charges a Bloodgorger into the
former, dealing minimal damage, and shoots into Hyperion, rolling
well to deal 25 points or so. Nightmare runs through the building to
engage Eiryss. Deneghra Feats to give herself a big next turn.
Ravyn
Feats, and the shooting begins. She starts things off herself by
walking up to kill a Bloodgorger before firing a Blaster
shot
into the rest of the unit. This is the first time I’ve used Ravyn
since the rules change and she is so much fun now, as she Sprints
back
to safety. The rest of my army deals decent damage into the Cryx,
taking out Ragman and decent chunks of the infantry, including all of
the Dirge Seers at the back. I knock down and Disrupt Nightmare,
dealing with him for a turn. 0-0
Duncan
has a strong turn, putting Mortailty
back
out onto the right Trident and Hyperion, before throwing attacks at
them until both were dead. He scores the left zone to lead 1-0.
I
shoot more stuff, finishing off Nightmare and almost clearing the
right zone, but Jussika just wouldn’t die, but thankfully isn’t
in the zone to stop me scoring. 2-2
Duncan
keeps pushing up, this time taking out my left AFG with the Boarding
Party. He scores twice again to lead 4-2.
I
remove most of the Boarding Party and move my Trident over to the
left to help out, clearing the right zone with the two Fane Knights.
Unfortunately I don’t move either of them to the flag, or Ravyn
into the zone, and so I don’t score and Duncan goes 5-2 up, winning
easily next turn.
DEFEAT
This
game wasn’t really about the result and was an absolute blast to
play. Some real errors from me all over the place including
completely forgetting about Swift
Hunter on
my Feat turn, and not scoring any points in my last turn. I want to
play this list more, but don’t think it’s particularly
competitive. I might take it to York alongside my Helynna list and
have a lot of fun through the event before concentration on
competitive lists from there. I’ll just have to not tell my WTC
captain…
