Final game of the SR sees me up against an interesting Minions pair with Sturm (Drang did not feature). I won the first turn.

Polarity Shield on the big unit and everything runs



Vision goes onto the Road Hog and the beasts get up the table, with the Road and War Hogs at the front of the line.

I take out both of the front line beasts with the Halberdiers and some AFG shots. Skeryth flanks hard on the left.



Snapjaw goes into the Halberdiers on the right, killing a few. Skarath’s spray clears the way for Brine to get in to the Phoenix, but narrowly fails to take it out. 1-1



I take out both Efaarit, Snapjaw and Brine, leaving Skarath on a handful of boxes. The attrition is going very well indeed. 3-1



Skarath tries to do what he can but can just take off a few Halberdiers. 4-2



I have a simple enough task to clear the zones to win 8-2



VICTORY

-      Armies with no anti-shooting tech and no upkeep removal will always struggle against this list, and Decel from Sturm is just not enough to stop the AFGs running rampant.
-      I always felt in control in this game, even had the Phoenix died to Brine I would have felt in a pretty strong position.
-      Finished the event in 2nd behind Mark, and starting to feel very comfortable with this Rahn build.
