So, my second 2.0 Tournament has come and gone, my third one that I've attended. I took a very similar pair of lists to last time.

List 1: Assassins

Kreoss, Devout, Revenger, Redeemer, Min Choir, Max Zealots w/ MB, Deliverers, Vilmon, Eiryss

List 2: Ctrl Pts (KOH, KF, PEN)

Reclaimer, Min Errants, Knights Exemplar, Full Zealots w/ MB, Flameguard +2, Min Deliverers, Vimon, Paladin, Eiryss, 3 Wracks

 

Game 1: VS Khador

My first game was against Sorcha in Killing Fields. My opponent took...

Sorcha, Destroyer, Kodiak, Min Shock Troops, Min Winterguard, Eiryss, Manhunter,

I used List 2. The game ended very quickly with me overwhelming his AD troops on the left side (Eiryss and Manhunter) with my Eiryss and the Deliverers Rockets. Flameguard advanced onto the point and my center moved up under smoke to stand in the middle. Right flank was held by Zealots with the 3 Wracks blocking advance around a building. Sorcha kiled some stuff but I was so overbuffed from my own soul tokens she couldn't kill me on the feat turn and I was too far away to shake me off the points. I won on Ctrl on turn 5.


Game 2 VS Cryx

This was assassins. I took List 1 versus...

Gorseshade, 3 x Defilers, Slayer, 2 Pistol Wraiths, Bile Thralls, McThralls, Machine Wraith, Gorman,

Gorshade overextended turn 2 and tried to do an assassinate run by combining a slam from a defiler knocking down Kreoss (who was hording focus and was spell warded) with his feat.. then realized he was inside Lamentation range and couldn't soulgate out.. Once in he was forced to commit the rest of his army piecemeal nad Darten + Infused zealots mopped up the Banes and tossed bombs at the Pistol wraith who decided to shoot. Game ended at time with me way ahead on VPs and Goreshade having to hoard focus to prevent a drop and pop and slowly backing away from me as I forced Lamentation down his throat.

Game 3 VS Circle

I played against Krueger this game and took list 2.  The game was Pendelum. He had...

Krueger, Argus, Woldwarden x 2, Ravagers, Totem Hunter,

I choked the board with bodies turn 1 and he never recovered. Vilmon and his pally put a big bad hurt on his Heavies and killed the totem hunter after he made an attack run on my Knights. Krueger feated and killed a ton of Zealots and Knights (plus my wracks) giving me a hefty 18 focus the next turn (!). He unfortunately left Krueger REALLy close to a Woldwarden so I grabbed a focus off my last wrack and arced 4 boosted A2A into him and he was fried. I won on Ctrl points turn 3.

Final game VS Circle

I ended up playing Krueger again in KOTH... this time with...

Krueger, Warpwolf, 2 x Woldwardens, Ravagers

I swamped the hill with AD and scored a first turn point. He advanced, cast wind to get rid of my smokescreen and hit me with multiple lightning arcs... killing a ton of Zealots and the MB and 2 of my wracks plus half the Errants. I ended up with a ton of focus and Zealots who could run and bomb.

Krueger was out of fury.

I ran up and managed a hit with my pipebombs, then finished the job with charging Errants.  My opponent tapped with his warbeasts out.

So I went 4 and 0 again.... took the Menoth coin and the Overall coin. It was a fun tournament, got to play nothing but people I'd never played before and met a bunch more players (new store, 9 players I'd never met, `12 of us overall).

I'm retiring my infantry list through.. at least in this format. The next 500pt mixed 2.0 tournament is on the 18th of November. I'm thinking I'll take either MY Circle (but damn they seem like the most common horde out there right now) or my Khador. If I'm feeling crazy I may finish my Laelese force.

I suppose instead of posting a new thread, (I played against both Fabulous (game 2) and Achillies (game 3) at this event..) I'll just post my comments here:

List 1:

Coven of Ghargast
Scarlock
Deathripper x3
Defiler x1
Pistol Wraith x2
Machine Wraith x1
Slayer x1
Bile Thralls (min)

List 2:

Goreshade
Deathripper x3
Pistol Wraith x2
Machine Wraith x1
Slayer x1
Bile Thralls (min)
Mech Thralls (min)
Goreman (as I couldn't get that damn bloat thrall attached to his base!) - The other Cryx player had some good ideas on pinning that I will try)

More on hindsight comments on the 2nd list at the end:

Game 1:  List 1 vs Cygnar - Killing Fields

Cygnar was Haley w/ Bokur, Ironclad, Lancer, Jr w/ Hunter attached, long gunners x10.  I won this one by easily getting enough control points.  Haley's group was too slow and the hunter was unable to dislodge any of the bonies either because of stealth or due to terrible rolls.  The bokur and the long gunners swiss-cheesed some stuff, but not enough to matter.

Game 2:  List 1 vs Fabulous (see Fabulous' thread for report) - Pendulum

The game against Fab's Kreuger was very educational.  In fact,  the experience from that game directly contributed to my success against the second circle army I played against in round 4.  In my previous games VS woldwardens, they never got a chance to cast because I tangled them in Melee first.  Also, Kreuger's feat is very powerful againt -everything- in my army.  Even the helljacks aren't immune to those POW10 hits.   

I ended up getting lucky as he advanced his two warpwolves in BTB hunkering at the edge of a building setting up a charge on my centre chicken horde and I slapped imprison around the two of them.  His efforts to bust them out were thwarted by some truly stupendously bad rolling.  Kreuger stepped out into the open and feated defensively.  I was too preocuppied with those lightning templates to notice he was out of Fury so I was genuinely surprised when he started marking damage on Kreuger after eating some Stygian Abysses to the face.

Game 3:  List 2 vs Achillies (see above) - Assassin

I was absolutely terrified of his list 1 since there was no way I could deal with it... so I figured a cloak-of-shadows Gore might do it...

Big mistake 1.  Don't debut a new caster under your command in a tournament.  This was the biggest mistake due to 3 things...

1.  I put rippers in his group.  While I recognized that the skarlock is useless for Gore, I stupidly put rippers in his group.  ARgh.  Should have put wretches.

2.  The points saved should be used to put some more bodies x2 on the min-squads for soulgate fodder.

3.  While Goreman is cool, I think that the list could really have used that bloaty.

At any rate, he used Kreoss.  Big mistake 2.  As I use Kreoss as well, I should have known better that Lamentation owns Gore.  After Achillies pointed this out, I just contented myself with trying to kill as much stuff as possible before dying... which was inevitable, since Kreoss still had his feat and I wasn't able to dent his army at all...  At least I was able to make Kreoss do nothing for a round.   

I should have stuck with the witches where I was much more experienced...  In hindsight, it doesn't matter how much you loose, I don't think the reclaimer can withstand stygians to the face, and I could have sacrificed everything to clear a path for one shot at glory...

Game 4 - List 2 vs Circle - King o' the Hill.

I had way more bodies than him.  The Circle player had Kreuger, Woldwarden x2, Argus, Tharn Ravagers and Totem Hunter.  I ran my pieces onto the hill piecemeal since after the game with Fabulous I knew that Kreugs would cast his feat to eat them... which he did... piecemeal.  Gore hid behind the slayer and Goreman's smoke and neutered the woldwardens with mageblight... (also from my earlier experience) and the pistol wraiths kept death-chilling them (only failing to do so once).  The game was called on time with 3 control points to none.  The irony is that I had failed to kill any of his units completely, with only the Tharn Ravagers taking casualties.

At any rate, fun was had by all, and I'll be better prepared in the futue.

Yep.. Stygian woulda owned me... if caster kill ended any of the scenarios I woulda used the Reclaimer in.

You put up a really good game dude. I made a couple mistakes as well... forgetting the Defensive strike the would have prevented your slam on Kreoss because of the -2 Mat.... as well as Shield Guard that would have stooped the pistol wraith cold.

Ah well. we live and learn right? I'll see you again on the 18th!
