I forgot to take pics of my two games last night, but they were good learning experiences. I played Ray in two games of cygnar v cryx.
Game 1 was Kraye tier 4 v Mortenebra tier 4. I lost the go first roll and ray went first. The scenario was outflank.
Basically I was doing well on attrition and I gave him an opportunity on Kraye which I didn't need to do. I re-read my feat and realized I could feat and then move away. Which is what I should have done. Morty's desecrator got to Kraye with focus and all Morty's buffs.
Game 2 was haley2 tier 4 storm bringers v lich3.
I was up on scenario by 2 CPs in this one, but ray managed to get his arc node/mook Vociferon close enough to arc two boosted bone shakers at Haley. Which I could have avoided, again with better caster placement.
Both were games I felt I was making good choices tactically but my war caster was just too exposed.
So those are good lessons learned.

Tournament games
I was planning on playing Cygnar at a local 50 pt event, but my skorne is so pretty I couldn't stop myself from playing them. I quite like my Hexeris2 list but makeda1 was my second and I'm not sure it's very good.

I'm glad I had the makeda list with Saxon bc I needed pathfinder two rounds, but I'm not sure this list is her best.
The hexy list ran well, tho the extoller, goblins and Orin may become a shaman. I want full PGBH but points are tight.
Round 1 I played against circle in a winnable scenario. My opponent played morvanna1 with zombified regrowing blood trackers. It was a good list. The blood trackers preyed the wrong thing, and my Nihilators under makeda's defenders ward crashed against them. We stuck there a while. My inexperience with skorne caused me to time out one turn without moving my archidon to contest a flag and he wins handily on scenario.
His army looked sweet too.
Round 2 I play local press hanger and ringer Stokes and his vyros theme force v my hexeris "your troops are life for my beasts". The scenario was process of eliminaton.
His dice crap on him and sentinels fail to kill a monolith. My Bronzeback gets it next turn. Turn after he clears zone and dominates. I clear other zone and dominate. He dominates to get to 4-4 while going for a run on hexy (who I'd left hanging while timing out like a fool again) but his dice don't give it to him.
Hexy manages to kill the aspis contesting my zone and molik runs 14" with rush through a wreck marker to contest his zone. I win on scenario 6-4.
Game 3 I played a local with cryx. I'm not sure either of my lists likes the matchup but there was a huge river running through the center of the board deployment edge to deployment edge. So Saxon got tagged in, which meant makeda.
The game played out oddly. Skarre feated defensively on top of 2 to jam arm 17 mcthralls into my defender's warded Nihilators. I counter feated and the Nihilators berserked through all the mcthralls save one or two anyway. My incindiarii lit 8 banes on fire with good deviations, but the scenario was incursion and the middle flag had dropped. I had incindiarii and a gladiator v max bane thralls w ua, min knights, and BLT. I was going to lose that side. I focused on the other. Somehow my archidon lived through a scrap thrall charge and kraken attacks.
I got an enraged Bronzeback on kraken but failed to kill it at dice missing zero attacks (sadness). Archidon killed Gorman. I cleaned up mcthralls and scored a point while gladiator contested other flag.
My last two turns consisted of makeda casting carnage while wading through a river and hiding behind a bridge and healing the archidon.
Somehow opponents dice failed him again and kraken failed to kill Bronzeback missing twice under dark guidance. He missed the dinosaur too. Skarre failed to hit archidon several times and left it on two boxes.
He did manage to kill my scoring will breaker with an attack spell and murder the gladiator to score on the other side.
Skarre was next to the archidon, and with carnage and heal it hit her (no crit), did some damage, bought, boosted, threw her into adjacent bone chicken, did a ton of collateral and wrecked chicken, then bought and killed skarre with auto hitting bite.
I probably would have murdered the kraken and a bunch of banes as well had the assassination failed. Opponent might have been able to push scenario.
Defenders warded Nihilators were amazing in both my games.
Game 4 I played hexy2 against a newer player who had sorcha2 in tier with 2 min WGI, widowmaker solo, yuri, beast 09 bonded, 2 kodiaks, and max shock troopers min bombardiers. I may have won the game in deployment.
He deployed super wide and I was able to toe my Bronzeback into my zone and push molik at the shock troopers in his. He forgot to feat the turn he had a chance to kill molik and left him with 8 boxes, which healed up a bunch due to vampiric harvest. Molik scored me two points, then sorcha charged him under her feat and failed to kill (bad dice) ending her turn by casting iron flesh.
Molik managed to hit the hard 12 to hit her once and did a ton of damage while scooting around to set up a slam. Orin bounced lightning off a pain giver to do 2 more damage, and then my razor Wurm missed her twice. The krea got puppet strings and slammed Wurm over sorcha. I rerolled a poor collateral damage roll with puppet strings to finish her and score 2 more points.
I failed to take a picture of the last game.
It was a good day and I had 4 awesome opponents. Tons of fun up in Saginaw.

Makeda3 proxied
I proxied makeda3 for two games v Charlie's menoth. Both were over on turn 2. Game one he triggered battle driven and then left feora 10" away from makeda but behind a forest. I ran my exalted court so that makeda could charge one of them, then makeda mauled feora.
Game 2 I rampaged all over reznik's forces but then makeda got crit-pitched by a guardian while trying to lightning strike away. That ended the game early.
Both fun games but I need to play her more conservatively.
