I've decided to play Cygnar all the time, so as to maybe get good with some models instead of changing around my lists every time.
I have played six league games now, four of them losses. Mainly due to my own ineptitude.
Game 1 15 pts pCaine vs pLylyth.
My opponent moved up with the Carnivean in front of Lylyth, close enough for my Ironclad to try and slam the Carnie over her. I did. Caine shot her until she stopped moving.
Bonus replay game! Caine dies to Lylyth on a Hail Mary, as if he doesn't I win on scenario.
Game 2 15 pts eNemo vs pButcher
My opponent jams me with Iron Fang Pikemen, I counterjam with Centurion and Polarity Shielded Sword Knights. Butcher's stuff still kills my Centy. Then I don't have the moxy to finish the Butcher with old man Nemo.
Game 3 20 pts Kara Sloan vs Rhyas.
My opponent moves up and does not put Occultation on Rhyas to grant her stealth. I feat with Sloan and put 3 weaponmaster bullets into Rhyas.
Bonus replay game! He puts Occultation on Rhyas to protect her and instead of killing her I kill an eleven-point heavy on my feat turn. He never recovers and Sloan winds up shooting Rhyas to death again.
Game 4 20pts pHaley v pIrusk
We advance. My alpha strike kills 8 Iron Fang Pikemen and Haley's Chain-Lightning kills 5 Kayazy Assassins. My opponent has no choice but to shoot Haley 3 times, and miraculously Holt hits twice, doing enough damage that Irusk seals the deal easily.
Game 5 25pts Constance Blaize vs pButcher
This game was awesome. We attritioned each other down to a few models and I forgot to give Blaize pathfinder to walk through some wreck markers, leaving her a quarter-inch within Butcher's charge range.
Game 6 25pts pStryker tiered vs eLylyth
This matchup was really bad for me. I almost lived through Lylyth's assassination run, but the Seraph hit on both ranged attacks needing an 11.
I also played two games last week in Chicago.
35 pts Sloan v Gunbjorn
His ranged-hosing feat is great against my list! I still kill most of his Kriel Warriors but screw up my order of activations. His Slag Troll murders a Charger each turn. Gun Bjorne kills Kara with his axe, which is something to say.
25 pts Kara Sloan v Ossyan
Ossyan's ranged-hosing feat is great against my list! I may have survived if the Mage Hunter commander didn't. He shot Kara twice (needing 9s on two dice) and cranked both damage rolls, making it difficult to keep Sloan safe.
My pic is from the last game: Kara is about to get shot by the Commander and then Hypnos just manages to get LOS to Sloan to finish her (by a millimeter).
