It was a good turn out last night at Hulls Angels Warmachine Wenesday, with a variety of factions from both systems. My only game was against Drax and his troll bloods at 30pts which gave me an oppertunity to field my brand new unit of Bastions. I dont know the name of the troll blood caster but his feat caused d6 damage to anything that used focus in his control area. I used eKreoss.
Drax won the dice off and took the first turn
Turn 1: TB, things ran, cast animi, were poked with rusty spoons and other stuff.. Men, choir sang no non-magic shooting, Saxon Orik gave pathfinder to errants and advanced behind cover, errants advenced into woods and took some potshots at warbeasts to no effect, crusader and repenter ran, revenger advanced behind them. Kreoss advanced and cast sacrosanct on the errants.
turn 2: TB, 2 main things I can recall about this turn, Drax forgot to activate one of his units (on his left flank) and he used his heavy warbeasts to shoot at the errants, killing a couple and being knocked down. Men, 2 errants shot at his troll carrying a big rock and made it self sacrifice twice to stay alive, the repenter advanced and flamed the same one to kill it with no others within 3", drax failing all his tough rolls apart from one. Orik advanced to the edge of the woods and shot at his unit on the left doing nothing. Kreoss up kept sacrosanct, cast invioble resolve on the repenter to make it arm 19 to recieve the charge of the warbeasts.
Turn 3: TB, 2 of the 3 warbeasts took the bait and charged the repenter and it took both to wreck it, the other warbeast stood up and shot again at the errants killing one and being knocked back down. (or was it this turn he forgot to activate that unit? I dont know). Men, in order to protect me from the tb casters feat I advanced kreoss and popped his feat, the bastions took out one of the beasts, the crusader and repenter took out another and one of the remaining errants attacked the prone warbeast. Orik charged the unit that was out of the way and killed one. Mechanik heald the cruader that took 6 damage after using two focus to boost damage rolls.
Turn 4: TB, drax was in a pickle this turn being two beasts down and went for a hail mary kind of move by charging his caster into the crusader doing only light damage, not much else happened. Men, time to end the game, everyone that could went for his caster and killed him but it took the crusader, revenger and kreoss on 6 focus to do it after deax made about 5/6 tough rolls in a row.
Good Game Drax!

ReplyDeletenone of these fangled names...
Sounds like Drax was feeling particularly tough - well done on the win - its always gutting when the caster makes a tough roll and you havent got anything else to throw at him...
