My buddy Viktor got his hands on the limited Butcher model a few weeks ago. I haven't had the "pleasure" to play against him yet, but today I got my chance. I know he can remove tough and pull models towards him and use flashing blades to clear away a huge amount ofinfantry. Still I went with Siege in this match up, cus I need the practice.
I removed Jonas Murdoch and two Stormcallers to get enough points for the Black 13th unit. He played a somewhat different list. I know he will add eAlexia to his list, but until he gets her he plays with a Drakhun instead. The rest of his list is pretty standard Khador. Winter Guards, Black Dragon Pikemen, Widowmakers, Greylords, Greatbears, Bokus, Corbeau and some other solos.
In the first game we played Incursion. I started by running up my force and he did the same. The next turn I got a bit greedy with Siege and moved him a bit to far ut the table. I screened him pretty good with the Boomhowlers but it didn't help much. Corbeau and Energizer got Butcher really far up the board, and then he charged a troll and used his spell to pull models closer to him. He got into range of Siege and only needed three flashing blades to finish the job.
Second game we played Into the Breach, same lists. I went first once again and we both ran with our armies. I spent way to much time and unit to try and kill his Drakhun who was almost in combat with my Gun Mages. Trolls buildt a wall of tough in the control zone. As I played with Siege further back he went for scenario score instead. Butcher charged into the trolls and used his feat to make them flee, then proceeded by killing a bunch of them before using his feat and camping his focus. He had placed his Devastator next to Butcher, so I saw a small chance of getting the kill. Siege activated and cast Force Hammer to slam the Devastator into Butcher. Stormwall got a clear charge path and could finish the job.
