More Warmachine madness

Three more 12pt games of warmachine tonight at Hulls Angels.  The first two were against Cryxx, the first time playing against Cryxx so I was not sure what to expect.  I was using pKreoss, a Repenter, a Revenger and a Crusader, supported by a choir.  I cant remember the casters used by my opponent, but the feat brought a unit onto the board.  In this game Kreoss went down at about turn 3/4 due to sneaky shananigans with spells allowing units (namely a jack) to move through enemy models, getting a charge and ending the game.

Game two was against the same opponent but different caster who's feat reduces all stats by 2.  In this game I put up a better fight but still lost to the more experienced opponent. Good game.

Game three was against Luke the organiser of Warmachine Wednesday, again being more experienced than I am, I was expecting to get owned again.  Luke was using his Cygnar with Caine as his caster.  After the last battle against him I was well aware of what Caine could do.  I won the first turn this game and took it, the turn was the usual running with the jacks after using the choir to grant them passage and Kreoss then moved and cast defenders ward on the Repenter.  Luke did pretty much the same thing. 
Turn 2: Men, one focus on the Repenter, the rest went on Kreoss.  The choir activated first and sang Battle on the jacks, Revenger advanced forward in an attempt to use immolation through its arc node which turned out to be out of range, the repenter activated next advancing and hitting both enemy jacks causing light to no damage but setting them on fire.  The crusader advenced a little to support the repenter.  Kreoss went last, moved and put defenders ward on crusader.  Cyg, I cant remember much of Cyg turn 2 except two jacks charging the repenter and taking out his right arm and movement. 
Turn 3 Men, choir sang battle again, with one focus on the Revenger it charged an enemy light jack and did moderate damage staying just over 1" away using reach.  Next Kreoss advanced and poped his feat knocking all enemies down, he then cast immolation through the arc node on Caine and boosted the damage looking for the caster kill.  However it was not meant to be as I rolled 1 damage short of the kill.  The repenter still with its working flamer burned the two enemy jacks causing light damage and causing fire.  The Crusader with 2 focus charged the downd light jack, caused lots of damage and then used its last point of focus to pick up and throw the light jack at Caine but it scattered away from him.  The thrown jack was destroyed and caused no further collateral damage.  Cyg, mostly things getting back up, however Caine used a focus to shake knockdown, moved and poped his feat, killing all of the choir and putting light damage on the jacks and moderate damage with a good roll against Kreoss.  This was followed by Caine using his regular shooting helped with a bunch of focus, shot down Kreoss again. 

This game was great fun and as close as you can get, good game Luke, I'll get you one day!!!!

First Warmachine Battle

So I had my first game of Warmachine tonight, the faction I have chosen to play is The Protectorate of Menoth.  Tonights game was a 12 point battle using the starter box which contains High Exemplar Kreoss, a Revenger light jack, a Crusader heavy jack and the other jack (cant remember the name) with flamer and flail.  I also had a Choir.  My opponent was the organiser of Warmachine wednesday (also forgot his name), he was using Cygnar, I dont know his list but his caster was kaine (I think).

Round 1: Cygnar went first, the first turn for both players just involved alot of running and buffing.

Round 2: Cyg, lots of shooting at my buffed Crusader jack causing relatively light damage, Then his jack attacked my crusader again causing light damage. Men, Choir moved and then buffed the crusader with +2 to attack and damage rolls (i forgot this also). Advanced the revenger on the left, then the flamer jack moved and fired at the jack in the bushes causing minor damage but setting it on fire.  Next Kreoss moved forward, poped his feat (knocking all enemies in his control zone down) and cast a 3" AOE spell at another jack causing some damage and setting it on fire, Finally the Crusader attacked the jack it was in combat with and left it with one box left.

Round 3: Cyg, with people on the floor and fire burning my opponent went for the throat, activating his caster, moving and firing his pistols at Kreoss, after using all his focus took him out and won the game.

2k Game BA's vs IG

A fun game to be sure dispite the losses of useful units like the stormraven and furioso, the mission was capture and control, deployment was DoW.  IG took the first turn, my first mistake came on turn 1 when I forgot to bring most of my forces on.  The main battle took place in the center of the IG line as I looked to destroy my opponents troop choices.  The battle was going my way but due to my lust for blood I left the enemy objective un-claimed which stopped me from taking the win as the game ended turn 5.
BA objective not claimed
IG objective not claimed

Game result: Draw
