Here we go the first battle report. I have been busy doing life stuff but now I have some more time to post battle reports. I have been practicing with 4 main casters : Butcher, Strakhov, Karchev and Irusk. I have been having a lot of fun learning how to play as well as putting together and painting metal dudes. I have a fully painted army for Strakhov which I will probably post later tonight along with my ideas and inquiries for a game board design.
I have not done any scenario play and my friends and I have just focused on caster kill. Eventually I will get there.
This list is fairly straight-forward:
P Irusk
Wishnailer
Gorman
Orin
WGDS (winterguard death star)
Nyss Hunters+ Kapitan Valachev
Black Ivan
I like the list because I get a def 14 jack with dodge, and large units of ranged troops that can have a silly amount of defensive buffs. Not too sure on Gorman and Orin yet, I am probably just not good enough to use them. I may just take them out, and have the great bears instead, who knows.
Like with my last slew of battle reports for warhammer, there will probably be A LOT of games versus (S)Khorne. Which is what a Skorne army is, when it is proxied with Khorne models. Mostly because the Retribution player in the group does not have a whole lot of time to play warmachine. Hopefully I will get some games in at Tower games that people will let me record.
Basically Def 14 and Dodge saved my bacon on Black Ivan, and also my opponent's inability to roll an 8 on 3 dice multiple times. I was way too aggressive with the nyss girls but they still managed to cause a lot of harm. Valachev is great with them because they can benefit from iron flesh as well as Irusk's crazy good defensive feat.
Winterguard deathstar is silly.
