| Emanuel is tries to find a way to kill pDenny |
Me and two friends went to a Steamroller tournament this weekend. It was just a small one with 10 guys, all good friends. I didn't take that many pictures so this will just be another short recap of what happened in the games that I played in.
Game 1 vs Circle
Morvahna the Autumnblade (*6pts)
* Gorax (4pts)* Feral Warpwolf (9pts)
* Warpwolf Stalker (10pts)
* Woldwarden (9pts)
Shifting Stones (2pts)
Shifting Stones (2pts)
Tharn Bloodweavers (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts)
Warpborn Skinwalkers (Leader and 4 Grunts) (8pts)
* Warpborn Alpha (3pts)
Druid Wilder (2pts)
Gallows Grove (1pts)
I'm pretty sure this is the list he played with, I could be wrong with a point or two. His other list was basically the same one but with Moshar instead. The scenario was Close Quarter and I played with eNemo Tier 1 list. I feated on turn 2 but didn't get much out of it. I couldn't reach his heavies even though I used Energizer I was a few inches short on my charges. Instead I fell upon a wall of Skinwalkers and started bashing. On his turn he sent his Stalker on the Stormwall and got some insane dice rolls and did 54 boxes of damage, then the Feral did the killing blow and killed the Stormblade with even more insane rolls. Not much I could do at that point. He won by scenario since I couldn't send in any units to contest with him.
Game 2 vs Cygnar
Captain Allister Caine (*5pts)
* Ol' Rowdy (9pts)
* Sylys Wyshnalyrr, the Seeker (2pts)
Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts)
* Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer (2pts)
Greygore Boomhowler & Co. (Boomhowler and 9 Grunts) (9pts)
Horgenhold Forge Guard (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)
Lady Aiyana & Master Holt (4pts)
Rangers (5pts)
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution (3pts)
Journeyman Warcaster (3pts)
Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator (1pts)
Stormsmith Stormcaller (1pts)
Taryn di la Rovissi (2pts)
My first game ever against my own faction. His other list was eStryker with Stormlances and some other stuff that I don't remember. I choose Siege since I wanted foxhole as protection from eCaine. The scenario was Incursion. We both deployed so that our Boomhowlers would have a slug fest at one control point. The middle flag was the one to go away so we had to split up our forces. I got an early point from the uncontested flag from the left where he didn't have any units except for his "super solos" and eCaine. For some reason I forgot about Taryn and her Shadow Fire, and I thought that Siege would be safe behind the Stormwall. He shot the Stormwall with Taryn and then went for the assassination with Siege. On his last shot with eCaine he got just enough damage to kill Siege.
Game 3 vs Cryx
Warwitch Deneghra (*5pts)
* Deathripper (4pts)
* Deathripper (4pts)
* Nightmare (10pts)
* Skarlock Thrall (2pts)
Bane Knights (Leader and 9 Grunts) (10pts)
Bane Thralls (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)
* Bane Thrall Officer & Standard (3pts)
Bile Thralls (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts)
Bane Lord Tartarus (4pts)
Bloat Thrall (2pts)
Pistol Wraith (3pts)
Pistol Wraith (3pts)
He played with something like this. The list above is 53pts, and I could be wrong on something. The Scenario was Process of Elimination and I played with eNemo and my wall of warjacks. He ran forward with his units and cast Crippling Grasp on my Stormwall to prevent it from reaching his army. Instead I cast Polarity Shield on it and placed him in the zone to my left. On the other side I had the rest of my army, and my Chargers and Stormcallers killed a bunch of Bane Knights before they could wreck my jacks. I also got the Alpha Strike on the Nightmare and killed it. It turned out to a really long attrition game and he spent a lot of time bashing both my Stormwall and Centurion without doing any real damage even though he gave them -7 ARM during his feat turn. In the end he lost by death clock (I still had 16 minutes left on my clock).
Game 4 vs Legion
Rhyas, Sigil of Everblight (*6pts)
* Nephilim Soldier (5pts)
* Angelius (9pts)
* Scythean (9pts)
Blighted Nyss Grotesques (Leader and 9 Grunts) (6pts)
Blighted Nyss Swordsmen (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)
* Blighted Nyss Swordsmen Abbot & Champion (3pts)
Blighted Ogrun Warspears (Leader and 4 Grunts) (8pts)
* Warspear Chieftan (2pts)
Blighted Nyss Shepherd (1pts)
Succubus (2pts)
Warmonger War Chief (3pts)
First time I faced Rhyas, Nephilim Soldier, Swordsmen, Grotesques and Ogruns... a lot of first time things here. Scenario was Destruction and I played Siege again. He ran his army very far due to Dash from Rhyas. I moved into the zone with the Boomhowlers and waited to get charged, and charge he did... with Rhyas feat. He got some swings on Stormwall which let him get to Siege and do some damage to him. I managed to clear away the threat from Siege and gave him Arcane Shield and played very defensively with him. On the next turn he got into combat with Siege with his flying units and got Siege down to 2 boxes of health. I used my feat and cleared away most of his army in one turn but Siege was still not safe. The next turn Rhyas saw her chance and charged (stupid acrobatics) straight trough Stormwall and into Siege. With 26 ARM he turned out to be a hard nut to crack as he only did 1 damage to Siege, leaving him with a single wound. Stormwall turned around and without a single focus he smashed a damaged Angelius with one fist and then hit Rhyas with the other and killed her with a single blow since she had no beasts left to transfer to.
Conclusion
It's really hard to play against a bunch of stuff you've never seen before. I did some really dumb mistakes in my two first games that cost me both games. I got to aggressive in the first game which cost me my Stormwall and Stormclad. And in the game against eCaine I could have just cast Foxhole and camped since the only way for him to kill Stormwall was with eCaines feat. Against Cryx I played pretty good and didn't do anything stupid and didn't give away anything for free and in my last game I just got lucky.
In my next tournament with Cygnar I'm planning on bringing Kraye with his tier list.
