So with under 2 weeks left before the big show I am 99% sure I have my list dialed in.

Butcher 3 and his merry band of assassination threats in Alexia, eEyriss, Ruin etc and the opponent has to deal with Full IFP (black dragons) with a Kovnik and the Great Bears... The widow makers can hopefully carve out key solos and make coming into zones costly. The Devastator is there to screen for Butcher and to hold zones if needed.

So help me out here and tell me what I am not seeing...

50/ 50
Butcher3(Kommander Zoktavir, The Butcher Unleashed) 4 PC
* War Dog 1 PC
* Ruin 10 PC
* Devastator 9 PC
Iron Fang Pikemen (10 models) 8 PC
* Black Dragon Officer & Standard 2 PC
Iron Fang Kovnik 2 PC
Alexia, Mistress of the Witchfire 4 PC
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution 3 PC
Orin Midwinter, Rogue Inquisitor 2 PC
Great Bears of Gallowswood 5 PC
Kell Bailoch 2 PC
Widowmakers 4 PC
Widowmaker Marksman 2 PC
Objective = Bunker

This will wind up being my "everything but Cryx drop" as i'll be running eZerkova as the pairing.

Nice little list.


I'd try and squeeze Madelyn in there somewhere. She has had a part to play in nearly every b3 victory I've had. Either by suckering a shot on to a war argus, or by giving that additional three inch move. Maybe drop the marksman, but it's up to you.

Or both of the above haha. It's a great turn when you get 6" out of a random shot they decided to take in the heat of the moment.

Well if someone is close enough to give a dog a sucker, they are normally close enough to cause Madelyn to activate as well.

Ya'll might be right, with the extra movement from her.. If I drop the marksman I'll just have to be more careful with the placement of the widow makers...

Does vengeance trigger off of "Sucker"?

The dog becomes hit by the enemy attack. Which if it then kills him, is just an enemy attack killing the poor wee 2 headed bugger. Then Butcher gets mad and gets even.

Had to look at the wording of Sucker! to make sure that it is actually hit by the enemy attack. Looks like it works to me.

Yeah, it has to be a direct hit, so she can die to blasts and not pass it off.

It does stop people from shooting her, no one wants to give butcher a free attack.
