All Grymkin practice is good Grymkin practice. Grymkin practice against one of the best Grymkin players in the world is even better. I go first.

Everything runs



Ben bricks up, puts down an Artifice for cover and moves up the table.

I stay out of threat of all but the first Gorehound, and position to force Ben to make a move soon.



Ben charges a Gorehound, kills the Artificer and Sprints away. The brick pushes on. 1-1



I deal what damage I can with my guns and push up slightly on both flanks, holding a number of jacks back. I score to lead 3-1, but considered sacrificing an Arcanist for another CP. I decide against it as it is vital for the long attrition, but it may have been an error. 3-1.



Ben takes out an Aspis, a Manticore and a Griffon. 4-3 to me.

I strike back, taking the models I can. I remove a Sking & Moans and a Cage Rager 5-4 to me.



I have overextended Vyros. Dreamer moves up and makes him Stationary, before a Skin & Moans moves up and takes him out.



DEFEAT

-      I lost this game on T3 where I gave Ben too much, I should have held back further, or pushed on, scored 3 and gone for the early scenario win.
-      This matchup is much harder on this scenario, as there is no objective to help against Gremlin Swarms
