Critical Hit - Absylonia, Daughter of Everblight's Death's Wings (Tier 1), vs Dominar Rasheth's Chain Gang (Tier 4)

Stanley Chua of Critical Hit Iloilo posted how their crew over there escalated into 50PC gaming! This time it's tooth and claw Destruction with two Hordes forces: Skorne's Dominar Rasheth using a Tier 4 Chain Gang against Absylonia, Daughter of Everblight, and her Tier 1 Death's Wings!

So I've played vs Rasheth with Legion before. With little to no range elements to the list, I feel this will give me all sorts of issues. - Stanley Chua

Deployment

Legion Turn 1: I win the roll to go first and run everything up. With the movement bonus from the tier bonus, I'm pretty aggressive setting up towards the zone.

Skorne Turn 1: Everything runs up. The gatormen jam the zone and with their tier bonus they just run pass the center line. Note: There's a Gatorman in between the Scythean and Carnivean.

Legion Turn 2: I look at the board and opt not to feat. Between Abby, the Scythean, the unit of bees I manage to kill 4 of the 5 gatormen. I have the Raek kill one of the Agonizers and the Carnivean kill one of the Gladiators and damage another. The other Carnivean damage and engage the Cannoneer. I had fortify on the Scythean and Spiny Growth on the Carni engaging the Cannoneer. Not a bad turn, but not a great one either.

Skorne Turn 3: Skorne's counter punch hurts. In retaliation, I lose the Carnivean, and the Scythean, the Raek has no mind or soul and will most likely frenzy, and my other Carni is pretty damaged. Rasheth Feated.

Legion Turn 3: My Raek frenzies as expected. With me down on attrition, I decide to go for the assassination. I measure distance and I'm about 15" or so away. I attempt to use the forsaken to kill the other Agonizer but failed. So I activate the Seraph and slipstream Abby forward then give her a push. I activate Abby and feat, using the Raek's animus I fly over the Bronzeback and into Rasheth for the assassination win.

Thoughts of the game: 5 Titans... Not sure what to think about this match up. 5 Titans isn't something that I want to see across the table and I can't piece trade effectively. I would need to play against Skorne again to see if Abby stays in the rotation.

50PC Destruction - Absylonia, Daughter of Everblight (Legion of Everblight +3) victorious over Dominar Rasheth (Skorne +1) via assassination. With that victory, the Legion of Everblight makes its way to challenge the Protectorate of Menoth for dominance over Critical Hit Iloilo!

Arcanopolis - Major Victoria Haley vs Thagrosh, Prophet of Everblight

April 8, 2015 Arcanopolis Games & Hobby

35PC Killbox
Major Victoria Haley (Haley2) vs Thagrosh, Prophet of Everblight (Thagrosh1)

Cygnar had 4 Hunters, a full unit of Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Pistoleers with unit attachment, a full unit of Sword Knights and a Squire

Legion of Everblight had 2 Ravagores, 1 unit of Blight Wasps, Typhon, a Beast Mistress and a Shepherd

Deployments

Major Victoria Haley allocated one focus on one Hunter and two focus on the other Hunter. She activated first, casted Telekinesis on one Hunter, placed it 2 inches forward and casted Temporal Acceleration on the second Hunter. The two Hunters advanced forward and shot Typhon with Long Arm shots. The two Hunters marshaled by the Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Pistoleers used Snipe shot and succeeded in bringing down Typhon! The rest of the Cygnar forces advanced forward.

The Ravagores advanced into some woods, both used their Dragon's Fire animus. One Ravagore's Blight Blast damages one Hunter and set it on fire, while the other Ravagore's Blight Blast disabled another Hunter's Long Arm.The rest of the Legion forces moved up the battlefield.

Fire disabled a Hunter's Cortex and both arms. Major Victoria Haley advanced and casted Deceleration and Temporal Acceleration on a focus-loaded Hunter. The two marshaled Hunters took shots at the Prophet of Everblight, some damage was transferred to the Ravagores. The focus-loaded Hunter took a Long Arm shot and dealt 11 damage to Thagrosh. The Cygnar turn concluded with the infantry moving up further the battlefield.

A Ravagore failed its threshold check, charged and killed a Sword Knight, while a Blight Wasp charged and killed another Sword Knight. Thagrosh moved up and casted Obliteration on the Sword Knights, slaying four of them, and concluded his activation with Fog Of War. The Beast Mistress advanced closer to the Prophet of Everblight. The other Ravagore spat at a Hunter but only clipped it with its Blight Blast AOE, dealing only small damage to the Cygnaran warjack.

The Sword Knights failed their CMD check. Major Victoria Haley allocated focus on one of her Hunters and casted Deadeye and Deceleration on the Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Pistoleers. The ATGM Pistoleers shot at Legion warbeasts with Critical Brutal, killing a Ravagore and a Blight Wasp. The two marshaled Hunters shot at the Legion warlock and left him with 1 damage point!

The Ravagore failed its threshold check, charged one of the Cygnaran warcaster's Hunters and destroyed it. Thagrosh used his feat, Dark Revival, and brought back Typhon. The Blight Wasps charge at the damaged Hunter and scrap it. The Beast Mistress advanced and casted Blood Rain, damaging the two marshaled Hunters.

Corrosion from the Blood Rain ate away at the Hunters' hulls. Major Victoria Haley casted Telekinesis on a Hunter, placing it closer to the Legion forces, casted Temporal Acceleration on it, and concluded her activation with her feat, Temporal Shift. The remaining Hunter moved up and used its Long Arm with boosted attack and damage rolls against Thagrosh, killing the legion warlock and scoring a win for Cygnar!

Note: We later realized that Legion had a Shepherd and forgot all about it.

35PC Killbox - Major Victoria Haley (Cygnar +2) victorious over Thagrosh, Prophet of Everblight, (Legion of Everblight +1) via assassination. Major Victoria Haley's victory entrenched Cygnar's hold over Arcanopolis.
