Against what armies did you play?
I would love to read a battle report or two...
I wrote a brief one on my instagram, a summary of the weekend that ill compypaste here. I had planned more detailed reports but day one I was dying from a poor sleep (dont stay in the brittania in nottingham, its a hole) and a hangover (Do visit the Pit and Pendulum bar, its unreal) so my deployment and note taking sucked.
Game one: very close, came down to a point ot two. Was vs stormcast, fulminators hit my lines, killed skinks, bastillodons dealt with them, and most of the rest of the army, but it came down to objectives and he held one more them me, mission as total conquest. Really the worst mission to play hungover.
Game two: even closer, killed 1600 points of his army and he managed to vanguard wing behind my lines and burn the last objective to push him ahead. 8 liberators vs 7 of my models. I then failed a curse of fates roll with a double one on a unit who then failed their teleport roll tjat would have snagged me the last objective. Probably one of my favorite games of the weekend. Mission was scorched earth.
Game 3: Tzeentch, nuff said, major loss. Double turned me twice, killed my astro and engine, wiped my skinks. Not much of a chance here and I was already exhausted. Tzeentch remain the army I cant seem to beat. Mission was knife to the heart, game ended when he summoned horrors which then summoned plaguebearers onto the objective.
Game 4: more stormcast, thunderquake did work and tore through them. Another great game, opponent went on to take most sporting. Was Starstrike, and skinks did what skinks do.
Game 5: Cabbage patch kids! Triple maw crusha list. Scared me shitless in the first turn and wiped 60 skinks off the board. Then i just had to believe in he bastillodon and charged one to tag two crushas, where it held them for 3 turns taking zero damage. Mission was border war.
Overall I went 2-3, but it was very close and Im happy with the list and most of how I played, it could have easily been 4-1 if I had made a few tweaks to my play. Some lessons the learn but Im happy. Kind of wish Duality had come up as a mission, I would have had no problem there with the number of unkillable beasties in the army.
Unit of the weekend was the bastillodon. Only actually died in one game, close second was the engine who successfully put out d6 mortals every turn.
