Round 2 vs Adam Cort. I win the roll to go first.

Each Griffon gets a focus for Fleet. Vyros casts Synergy. Everything runs up, staying out of threat of the Stalkers.

Cryx forces run up. Nothing fancy. Stay out of threat of my Infiltrators.

Guns open up into Cryx forces, killing 10 Bane Knights with a combination of shots and Devil Drives. Vyros Feats and the Infiltrators run up to jam.

Left Infiltrators are Breath Stealered and the Bane Knights work on all the infantry that isn’t in Vyros’ Feat range. I lose a fair few but still have plenty left.

I consider going for a melee turn but opt to keep shooting, taking out another 12 or so Bane Warriors, narrowly missing out on clearing the right zone. Had some bad dice so the turn could have been a lot better. I score to lead 1-0.

Vyros camping 2 means Adam goes for Nightmare assassination. Stalker kills the last Infiltrator to fee up Prey. Denny makes Nightmare Incorporeal and moves it 3” closer with Hellmouth. Nightmare charges in and kills Vyros.

DEFEAT

-      Really good game, and very impressed with the list’s ability to remove pretty hardy infantry.

-      Took a reload shot (and boosted damage) with Vyros, leaving him camping 2 instead of 4. Camping 2 was an 89% assassination, camping 4 would have made it 44%

-      1-1 in tournament.
