Look I Know The Supernatural is Something That Isn't Supposed to Happen

I managed two games of Warmahordes this last Monday. I was playing around with Cygnar models and wanted to give a couple warcasters another try. Game 1 was V Brice and his Trolls in the scenario Overrun.

I played
Commander Douche McWeen
Sylas Wishnalalalalala
Ol' Rowdy
Full Sword Knights w UA marshalling a Centurion
Arlan Strangewayes
Gun Mages w UA marshalling two Hunters
Journeywoman Warcaster
Archduck Runewood

Bruce took
Borka Kegslayer and Keg Carrier
Mauler
Earthborn
Axer
Whelps
Full Champions
Min Long Riders with Horthol
Fell Caller
Champ Hero

I won the die roll and advanced menacingly. Rowdy and the Centy got arc shields and the gun mages got Snipe. Brice counter advanced and put Iron Flesh on the Champs.




I alpha-struck by killing two Long Riders and knocking down a bunch of stuff with earthquake. I also pushed a lot of the right flank around with rune shots from the gun mages. The Centy put up Polarity Shield and the Sword Knights hid behind it. Stryker feated for immense armor on my heavies.

Brice wasn't sure he could crack much so he just repositioned and waited out my feat.

I knocked down a bunch of stuff with Earthquake so my Hunters could assassinate the Fell Caller. Rowdy killed two Champs. Centy repositioned with Shield up. Sword Knights charged it and killed more Champs. Gun mages pushed Horthol way back and knocked him down.

Brice got some serious revenge, mauling my unit of Sword Knights and having the Mauler try to manhandle the Centurion (ARM 24 won out mostly over his pow 19s tho). He didn't dent Rowdy much. The Hero engaged a bunch of stuff. Whelps screened the Mauler.




The Hunters killed a Long Rider engaging my gun mages, which allowed them to push the Champ Hero away from their friends, which allowed them to kill the screening Whelps. Then Runewood stood up the Centy with Revielle and shot poorly. Stryker knocked down the Mauler with EQ. Arlan powerboosted the Centy. Centy moved up and autohit the downed Mauler. JR put a nice bullet in it, and my last remaining SK rolled 11 on his flank damage roll to remove it from the table.

Brice saw an assassination run and went for it, but Ol Rowdy left a trusty wreck marker, and Borka doesn't have pathfinder. He was left drunk and flapping in the breeze. I surrounded him with gun mages so he couldn't stumble away and hit him with attacks until he stopped moving. Stryker himself delivered the killing stroke.




Wreck Marker FTW.

Game MVP: probably the twin Hunters. They killed two long riders and the fell caller before hitting Borka for 7 to start my assassination run.

Game LVP: Almost everyone did some work. Maybe Arlan wasn't great until the last couple turns

Game 2 was v Brandon's Legion
I played
Kara Sloan
Squire
Two Hunters
Thunderhead
Storm Spider
Full Stormguard
Rupert the Bard
Journeywoman
Gorman di Wulfe, Kung Lao Impersonator
Black 13th Strike Team

I won the roll and went first. Playing a gun line it's important to take as much table as possible. I put Refuge on Kara, ran all my jacks, and positioned for a bullet-storm second turn feat.

The scenario was Restoration, and to score you must destroy the objective on your opponents side of he board and control a zone in the center.

Brandon played
Aabsylonia, Freak of Nature
Angelius
Scythean
Ravagore
Carnivean
2 Forsaken
2 Shredders
Min Hex Hunters
Shepherd
Strider Deathstalker

He moved up and managed to do some ranged damage to a hunter but failed to cripple any systems. The Angelius got Forced Evolution.

I feated second turn and attempted to remove two of her heavies from the board but I didn't roll very well. I wound up leaving the Scythean with 6 hp and killing the Carni. I hid Sloan behind the Objective and Strider. My black 13th and Strider killed a LOT of hex hunters and I ran the Stormguard to engage the rest of that flank.

I was hoping the Scythean would be dead, so. . .Thunderhead was kinda flapping in the breeze. The Scythean hurt him and the Angel finished him. The
Deathstalker and hex hunters killed 6 stormguard with their remaining 3 models. (every attack hits and kills). The Ravagore drops a bomb on my lead hunter and wrecks its gun.

Brandon did NOT feat. I see that I can remove the Scythean from the table and hurt the angel, and blind the Angel with Gorman. My remaining two Stormguard kill the final Hex Hunters and Deathstalker and finish a Shredder. The Stormspider lobs two shots and the Ravagore, hurting it and bouncing to other support models. The Scythean is killed by a double boosted hunter shot. The angel is blind. Kara slides back to hide after putting two meek bullets into the Angel.




Abby feats, but she's left with two heavies and a shepherd. She kills the last black 13th and a stormguard. The angel engages Gorman. The Ravagore misses a Hunter and drifts away. . .

The Stormspider drops more bombs on the Ravagore and leaps to Abby and the shepherd, killing the latter and doing damage to the former. The Angel misses the free strike on Gorman and he blinds again. Kara puts two more bullets in the angel. The final stormguard charges in and hurts the Scythean more. The eleap hurts Abby again.




Abby kills Rupert who ran to engage. The Angel engages Gorman again. The Ravagore kills the Stormguard.

The Storm Spider finishes the Ravagore and the leaps hurt Abby a bit. Kara scoots out and puts a weapon master bullet into Abby and while she transfers the blowback is just enough to kill her.

Game MVP: Storm Strider

Game LVP: Rupert. Tough did nothing. Ah well.
