At first I was overwhelmed how many his troops were. and even have 2 jacks... Now this time the game is break "hold" the line... similar to moshpit but in a horizontal line area. Bogs showing his battalion... the roll for initiative came and we had the roll tied twice. the 3rd was good. I won the initiative. As to my understanding from my training, I should move as fast as i can to the objective area and he will have a hard time. I deployed first...
and guess what... consistent deployment in 10 seconds. done!
it does not get any better than this...
then he deployed...
he deployed his army all in the far right. right behind the woods. As usual I made my fastest movement. 1 focus for arcantrik 2 for tow using karchev towing for 6 whiplash facing sideways. casting iron curtain on berserker and devastator. using devastator to bulldoze my berserker 2 inches more. forward. and beserker declaring a failed charge... you do the math. 6 +2 +7 = 15points and i started 10 inches from my end... hmmm. more than half! my behemoth lumbers along and took a chance fire with bombard...(sorry by this time, i was too excited that i forgot taking pictures!)
Bog's turn... he moved his infantry grenadiers to the left and his solo unit made a flying kick to one of them killing it! whhaapppakkk! giving him +4 def. ok.... weird combo...the other units kept on praying this and that and advanced... sorry, too much spells casted and i can't keep up with the names.. round2, maintaining iron curtain, positioned my units a little closer and maximizing the iron curtain's distance... well his grenadiers has this spell wherein they could not die or something like that for a turn. keeping my devastator closed (itching to open up)berzerker was charged by a solo unit. causing some the berserker... I let him have all the fun on the 2nd round. the rest of his units moved in closer.
3rd round... I maintained the iron curtain but stopped the upkeep of the arcantrik and tow. Now my turn, casting unearthly rage... (no total war yet) since no one needs to charge...and what happened was berserker gone berzerk... killing all units in front of him. then i realized. so many units needs so many points... just like 5 whamos vs. white winnie deck. I got more confidence on the jacks armor and protection. now, bogs began to forget the iron curtain.. and his unit with a cross wrench, charges the devastator. only to find himself knocked down with a pow 12, ... the grenadiers close in to the curtain but not passing it and making the same mistake as the other unit and began throwing grenades to karchev. which most bounced on his armor sustaining a box or two damage... hm....my turn. maintain curtain. cast unearthly rage and total war... and all hell break loose. karchev used fissure to the unit that was invincible with a wall, devastator moving to the side and netting the rest of the grenadier units in the iron curtain. and using rain of death. behemoth charging the light jack to free the berserker from engagement. once rubble, berzerker charge the heavy menoth warjack. I see berserker like a swiss army knife where all blades are open and thrown to the enemy.
bogs enraged on what happened did the do or die move... his caster prayed for whatever spells he can use to boost himself and charged karchev... the dog tried to do a counter charge but menoth caster was too close from his master. with his sword the menoth warcaster unleashed his rage... i see 5 dice flying then 4dice then 5 again then 4 again then 3 dice... karchev took it all. and when the turn ended. karchev looked at the menoth warcaster with a grin. holding all focus in his hands and did not do any upkeep. casted unearthly rage, and lashed Sunder once, open fist second, buy attack then another sunder, buy another attack then another sunder. well i guess you know the end of this story...
2 wins -1 loss
LOL like it's always been said: Menoth is an evil good. Don't let all that white fool you. The army rewards killing your own models (as made apparent by that ninja dude's flying kick on one of the Zealots and bumping the whole unit's DEF). We can't cry "cheap" because that's really how they fight.
ReplyDeleteToo bad for Reznik and his low rolls. "I'd rather be lucky than good." I guess if he survived your massive hail of Unearthly Rage blows, your dog can still walk in and bite Reznik's head off anyway.
