Regular? Whats that?

So due to life I had to take a hiatus from the game. Im back for now. I guess? Yay me?

This was going to be a special post about the state of the gam, but I don't want to go into that just yet. Not when I'm still composing my own thoughts on the matter fully.

So I have a promise and a bat rep for you guys, if you're there still!

Ive been asked to reverse engineer a pairing by someone and Ive got that done. And my thoughts on the harbinger are nearly finished too.

As for the batrep, I dug out some models and dropped my skorne into Ret! I played out of theme as my opponent was coming back after a longer hiatus than me!


So he dropped Vyros2 forges of war. SIGH. His list was Vyros, Sylyss, Imperatus, manticore, hydra, chimera, arcanist unit, arcanist solos and Griffons.

I played Makeda3. She took a battlegroup heavy list with molik karn, a bronzeback, 2 rushbo-I mean gladiators, a sentry, a kreia, min beast handlers and a mortitheurge willbreaker.

I won the roll off and picked a more beneficial side. My opponent deployed with vyros centrally 3 lights to his left with a hydra, the other heavies and lights to his right with the solos and support behind.

 I deployed with makeda centrally, a sentry next to her with the bronzeback on her other side. Those two were flanked by gladiators and then those two were flanked by molik on the left and the kreia on the right. The support went behind and the guardians plugged holes at max command.

His jacks run up on his turn 1 with synergy out for free, vyros doesn't do much and runs.

I then repeat the process with makeda putting hand of death on molik and vortex on herself whilst all my beasts stay out of threat. The kreia charges up and puts force aura out.

His next turn he repositions forward cagily behind Los blocking terrain where possible and feats. He also locks the target on molik which is a pain.

This turn, i go into the tank a bit. I have to commit something else I get charged. To that end, I drop upkeeps, and cycle hand onto my rightmost gladiator. The sentry advances up and blocks charge lanes to my soft stuff. Molik hides behind the sentry and bronzeback. The left gladiator stays behind to mop up. The right gladiator doesn't kill a light, which works out well for me as it keeps imperatus from charging my heavies. The kreia also misses a paralysing gaze onto imperatus.

His next turn, he forgets to allocate! This saved me, as I shall reveal later. Then he kills the gladiator, and builds synergy to 3. His 3 left griffons nearly kill the sentry. He also advances vyros, who is camping nothing to score 2 zones.

After his turn, I see vyros is aggressively placed. And I need to kill a light to get a bronzeback onto him. The issue is that makeda is engaged with a griffon.  But she has battle driven up and she's got a guardian in combat with her. The other walks into the back of a griffon on the right and takes most of it out. Makeda also feats, and puts up vortex.  She kills the griffon, gaining a fury back. And I then notice that if the bronzeback charges vyros, he'd be out of control. I look to see if I can get any cheeky eliminators out, but I can't. So there's one thing for it.Run the willbreaker up to let the bronzeback forc! To this end, I rush the bronzeback with the gladiator, and walk it to clear a path for the willbreaker to run. The beast handlers enrage and medicate as needed. Then the sentry and molik introduce 3 griffons to PAIN™. Thus the path is cleared. The bronzeback goes into vyros and does all bar one box on the charge attack. He then kills him on the second and removes a fury.
