Hi all,

To move away from all of the griping, I thought I would put something fun out.

Who would you say is your casters worst enemy in their own faction on the battlefield?

I was thinking how much a typical Harbinger player would hate to see eKreoss turn up, his feat would just ruin her day - she can't really martyrdom single wound models as she loves because "oh, they're just dead again from the second autohitting attack". Or even eFeora against eKreoss "oh, my massive gross trick of moving fire around your key pieces and it can't go out is happeniiiiiiing.... never".

I often find that pSorscha struggles against Butcher.

When I was in the Journeyman League last year. I came across a player who used Sorscha. As a long time Khador player, and falling out with Sorscha a few years ago, I brought along my p Butcher.

At this time, he had won every game he had come across. Mostly using Sorscha's 19 inch assassination run. The standard use windrush then charge with feat.

Turn two rolls up, and I guess that Sorscha is about 15 inches away. he's in a good position to go for his assassination. Playing the fool, I move Butcher ahead of the army and put Iron Flesh on him. Leaving him on a cosy 22arm.

He Takes the bait and engages Butcher. Popping his feat he swings over and over again, but fails to crack butchers armour, dealing only a few damage points.

On my turn I activate Butcher and pop his feat. I say "I'll boost to hit, I need a 9. He replies "But she is DEF 18 at the moment." And then I say the words every Butcher player loves. "I know, Butcher is MAT 9.

His face drops, and I roll 5d6 +2 damage and kill her in one hit.

I've done that to two seperate Sorscha players that tournament.

TLR, Sorscha can't crack butchers armour.

That got an exalt for sheer cheekyness. I can appreciate teaching someone that you don't park in LoS to the Butcher.

It's the same lesson every starter pack Khador player has to learn. Sorscha can pull off amazing assassinations, but she can't crack armour worth a damn.

Vayl1 absolutely despises seeing Lylyth2 across the table, she's just so easy to assassinate with an army that mostly ignores Concealment and has 24" threat range on Ravagores.
