The
final round of the UK Invitational and the first time in the event
that I’ve played against a new opponent, Byron with his pair of
Kolgrimma and Doomshaper2. We both pretty much knew that matchup
would be Kolgrimma against Issyria, and with me winning first turn we
get moving.
Admonition
on
the Phoenix, Inviolable
Resolve on
the Sentinels and run. I want to be in a position to get a good alpha
before the Bears can come on to retaliate.
Byron
moves up in a fairly defensive formation, putting down 4 clouds from
Kolgrimma to block my lines and force me to Feat. His Earthborn moves
up behind the building in the centre of the table.
It
has been a long weekend, I’m tired, and I have a long drive home,
so when I spotted the assassination here it was too tempting not to
go for. With a Slipstream
Imperatus
can get a slither of LoS to the Earthborn, and with 2 Side-Steps
can
get to a zero camp Kolgrimma. 2 bought attacks later and Kolgrimma
Toughs, but with the right Trident in range I can finish her off.
VICTORY
I
couldn’t really resist that assassination, even though the odds
weren’t incredibly good. I figured that if the first attack didn’t
do much damage I could choose to finish off the Earthborn instead and
still had enough models on the table to play a hard attrition turn
(the Trident had pretty much left all the left Champions on a box
each). I finished the tournament at 3-2 and 9th
place out of 30, a result I was pretty pleased with. This event is a
big part of WTC selection, so I think I’ve put myself in a decent
place to qualify. Now only time will tell. We also have a new caster
to look forward to, and I really can’t wait to get Garryth2 on the
table.
