My pair doesn’t have a particularly good Grymkin drop, but having looked at a few matchup possibilities with the team there is a chance that I will end playing into them. My best hope is knowing the matchup better than they do, so more practice it is. I win the roll to go first.

Everything including Vyros runs up the table.



Grymkin go into a big bunch, with the Swarms and Gorehounds hard on the flanks.



I move around, staying out of threat of most of his forces, trying to tempt something in.

Chris commits with a Cage Rager and 2 Gorehounds, taking out a Griffon and spreading around some additional damage. 1-0 to Chris.



With plenty of targets in range its time to get some work done. I manage to take out one of each heavy and the three Gorehounds, 2-0 to Chris.



Chris takes out both Manticores and 2 lights leaving me in a pretty rough spot. 3-0

I need to take out the Skin&Moans on the left to have any chance of coming back into the game, so I throw everything at it, leaving it on a handful of boxes. I concede.



DEFEAT

-      I was asking quite a lot to take out that Skin& Moans but if I had I think I could have ground the game out.
-      It is a tricky matchup but doesn’t take much of a slip from my opponent to tilt it in my favour
