4 round Steamroller at Element Games, final testing ground for new lists before making a final decision. Round 1 against Cryx, on Spread the Net, never a good combination. Lost the list chicken ending up with Kaelyssa into Skarre. I win first turn to at least make it a game.

Refuge on Kaelyssa and everything runs up.



Cryx run up, pretty aggressive with the Stalkers, and triggering Prowl on the Bane Riders where possible.



I am able to fish out the Stalker on the left with Kaelyssa and Helios, taking it out. AFG tries to shoot out a couple of  Bane Riders, but rolls badly and doesn’t take any out. Kaelyssa Feats.



Mark commits heavily on the right flank, taking out the AFG and scoring the zone, he holds back on the right, staying out of my threat. 3-0 to Mark



I go in for the kill on what I can, but don’t roll well at all and don’t actually take out anything, which is pretty disheartening. 4-1 to Mark



Easy enough for Mark to win the game from this point. He clears both zones to win 7-1 on scenario.



DEFEAT

-      Game pretty much decided along with the match ups. Problem with Cryx is that they force you into horrible list chicken, where if you lose it isn’t a game, but if you win you just get to play a 50/50 game
-      I like Spread the Net as a scenario, but with Incorporeal battle engines it is just so easy for Cryx to win on it.
-      There is nothing positive to say here, I really don’t know what the answer is
