Played a game versus Reznik last week with Epic Morgs

But my opponent beat me to getting the report on the net: http://fierycrusader.blogspot.com/2009/09/reznik-vs-emorghoul.html

At least he beat on something! Reznik got eaten by my kitties.

Tournament Report Ducosim XVII (pictures heavy)

Last Saturday me and a buddy went to the local steamroller. 16 people showed up for 4 rounds of caster kills. I took two lists, one with Morghoul and one with Zaal. The Morghoul list was made to fight against Hordes, Zaal for fighting Warmachine.

My Morghoul army; Front row: Void spirit, Canonneer, Snapjaw, Agonizer, Wrong eye, Smoke Gobbers, Brine, Rorsh and Orin Midwinter. Back row: Soulwarden and Morghoul. (click on the picture to get a bigger version)

My Zaal list; Front to back: Full unit of Ferox, Void spirit, Ancestral Guardian, min Karax, min Immortals, Zaal, Soulwarden and Canonneer. (click on the picture to get a bigger version)

My first battle I ended against one of the stronger players with his Circle of Orgoreos (Goreish Circle) with his Krueger list.


In short, his list was brutal (and a classic), he played brutal and he brutalized Morghoul. Well done! This nice chap ended up 3th of the tournament and also got the he most VPs award.


The next battle was against a nice guy who brought. Amon, 4 jacks and some solo's.


We closed in, danced around a little bit, he feated, destroyed most of my infantry with his sandstorms and Jacks. The turn after I feated, had a lot of counters and the remaining solo's and cavalry charged in and slaughtered everything except Amon and half his choir. The turns after my army mobbed up the rest and killed Amon.


Next battle was against a person I already know a little better Ahknas. He played his Caine list against my Zaal list. I did get a resonanced charge in on his knights, but mostly he just shot the hell out of me. Another of my better points was shooting a ghostsighted cannonball through a rock and into Aiyana and Holt. The game ended with Zaal death and him not having more then Caine and a few solo's.


My last battle was versus Legion, was getting tired, so forgot to take pictures.
He had Vayl, two Carnies, Seraph and full Knights. He was basically kicking my ass, killing most of my stuff, but luckily I managed to pull of the enraged-pigheaded-diversiontactics-Brine trick and killed Vayl because his Carnies could not be transferred to because of Morgs feat.

So I ended with two wins, two loses and a lot of VPs which put me at the 6th or 7th place, but best of all, I won the best painted award (hurray for me!) Close-ups will follow later, but here is a picture of my tray (click for a bigger picture):

Ducosim XV. Makeda vs Reznik 500pts, assassination

Last Ducosim XV game. Against Reznik, I have been told, the winner of the last Duco.
He had: Reznik, Devout, Blessing of Vengeance, Redeemer, Choir, Warjack solo, Warcaster attachment, Full Idrians with UA
I had: Makeda, Krea, Drake, Guardian, full Cetrati, full Ferox, min Paingivers, Smokers.
Highlights:
The Ferox finishing off the Idrians, losing two from the counter charge, but scaring of the last 3. Two Ferox got killed, but I got them back from my feat.
Killing two warjacks in a Cetrati Charge.
Failing the Krea assassination, leaving Reznik with one wound.
For him, getting another turn with one wound to finnish of both the Krea and the Drake.
Outcome:
Makeda killing of Reznik with her damage spell (talking about style)
Lessons learned:
Could have done that assassination better if I had activated in the right order and stayed clear in my head. But I had been playing the entire day.

Zap!

Ducosim XV. Makeda vs Severius 500pts, assassination

First Ducosim XV game. Against a nice guy playing a fully painted Severius army
He had: Severius, Blessing of Vengeance, 2 Redeemers, Choir, Rhupert, full Zealots with Monolith bearer and 3 wracks
I had: Makeda, Krea, Drake, Guardian, full Cetrati, full Ferox, min Paingivers, Smokers.
Highlights:
It was a fun, evenly matched game with two fully painted armies.
Killing named jacks is fun.
Outcome:
It ended in a dice down. I think he had one more Vp then I had.
Lessons learned:
Menoth will always be a though fight.
I lost monumentum because my Ferox got to deep in and I used my feat to soon.
Pictures:
His army, after deployment

Fight!

Dice down

Makeda vs Harbinger, 500pts assassination

Second battle Blood in the Snow was versus the press ganger because of the odd number of models.
He had: Harbinger, 2 units Exemplars, full Zealots + Monolith, Paladin, Rhupert and Senechal (not really sure)
I had: Makeda, Drake, Krea, Cetrati full, Ferox full, 4 Paingivers, Guardian and Gobbers.
Highlights:
Getting my ass kicked, really underestimating his list and speed.
Getting close to a last minute kill.
Outcome:
I got my ass whipped by far more experienced player with a strong list (which I never played before).
Lessons learned:
Study this list
Do not forget your feat!

His first move, forgot to make pictures after this.
