Some Mechanic character.
Some Mechanic character.
He gets advanced move and then I take the first turn. Quicken on the AFG to bring it up and Shatter storm on the Invictors, just cause.
His light jack on the left flank was missing part of its 2 part small base, this is why its sitting on a medium marker. |
He advances the Shield Corps in Shield Wall, with a Gun bunny in the lead. The Forge Guard run up center and the second Gun bunny sits behind them. He puts snipe on the SHield Corps and Guided Fire on a Mortar and hits the AFG with both Mortars, about half killing it.
Shield Corps tag out a Battle Mage |
The Invictors finish off the reast of the Forge Guard. On the right the Battle Mages pull in the light jack and Hypnos with a point of focus from the Artificer kills it.
Ossyan is in a highly vulnerable place here, relying almost solely on his feat to survive. |
Narn leaps out of the bushes and stabs Ossrum twice. If I had actually thought about it I could have put several combines from the Invictors on Ossrum first and finished with Narn but oh well.
Ossyan survives and runs for cover |
Ossrum responds by running into mid field and killing and Invictor, the Bokur kills another.
Hypnos finishes off the Driller and the Battle Mages along with the Invictors take out the Shield Corps. Ossyan tags the Ogrun with a Chrono Phage.
Ossrum concedes at the start of his turn. |
Game 2 vs Legion. This is a new player to the game so I should go soft on him, but hes playing Legion. No remorse.

Shredder
Shredder
Carnivean
Blighted Nyss Archers (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Blighted Nyss Archers Officer & Standard
Blighted Nyss Hex Hunters (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Bayal, Hound of Everblight
First turn quicken went on the to the Battle Mages, the rest of the army advanced or ran. He responded in kind.
The AFG knocks a hole in the hex Hunters with a Blasted Earth shot and the Battle Mages walk 8" to engage them and kill 2 more. The Invictors start combining and clearing out the Nyss Archers. 2 Combine on the Shredder and put some hurt in.
Belphagor moves up to arc a couple of splinter spiny shatter whatever things and tags my Arcanist.
The Carnivean moves in and sprays down a couple of models, doing minimal damage. Ossyan responds by feating and quickening himself, he skirts around the AFG and tags the Carnivean with a Chronophage.
The AFG opens up with 3 shots and 3/4 kills the Carnivean, the Invictors follow up and finish it off with combines. This leaves room for Hypnos to walk forward and shoot Belphagor, Void Locking it and doing about 1/2 of its boxes.
Narn on the left charges the Shredder. The charge fcame up as a point of contention as a by stander asserted the quirk about both models maintaining line of sight to eachother. I assured him that the 3" move combined with Acrobatics let me clear his base move 3" and maintain line of sight, however because I didn't make a point of showing it to my opponent I made the attacks without the charge bonus, and converted the kill anyway.
A similar situation came up when I was moving Hypnos past the invictors, he had a comfortable 1/4" on either side but because of his arms coming down and the Invictors gunblades. Models got bumped and the bystander not my opponent called me out on it. It didnt matter, but this is a little frustrating. Not that it was the bystander that was pulling me up but, ok I should bring my opponent over to watch my move. Regardless I'm a very forgiving player and will generally give the opponent benefit of the doubt. "is he inside feat?" "no but if you were 2mils closer he would be, assuming you can measure control lets just nudge your guy forward and go from there."
Anywho.
The Nyss archers put down more arrows on the Invictors. Invictors defense and armor was enough to weather mostly all of the Nyss shots but the automatic corrosion that was given them by... something? saw them all bar the standard bearer and the 2 by the AFG melting away. Belphagor advanced, unable to arc or be forced and slapped Hypnos a couple of times, a Shredder to the far right went Rabid and peed on the AFG's leg.
Ossyan camped focus, upkept quicken on himself and toed his zone. The AFG rolled up 4 shots and clears out the Hex Hunter and Bayal. One Invictor courageously shields Ossyan and shoots a Nyss and the other stabs the remaining Hex Hunter with his gunblade. Hypnos just thumps Belphagor a couple times leaving him with one operational aspect.
Narn charged out of the bush. This was a little tricky I could have just killed 2 Nyss and engaged as many as I could have but I felt like giving him a fighting chance, or going for the kill.... actually knowing he had 3 transfers I was quite certain I wouldn't kill him. Anyway Narn put something like 17 damage on Bethany and she transferred it to a Shredder, who died and she took 5 from the overflow.
The Nyss archers couldn't put damage on Ossyan so Bethany went for a Gallows assassination run. Poor guy, I know from Garyth, (not Kruegar, cause Gallows ass runs work with Kreugar) usually Gallows ass runs are doomed for failure. Anyway first hits no damage and second misses.
I position to score maximum points the next round and Narn slashes at Bethany killing her.
Victory to Ossyan

After Narn chopped up the Shredder he sprinted into the bush. |
