In an effort to find a nice pairing with my vlad2 list I tried out Butcher3 with lots and lots of WG (full rifles with 3 rockets and Full WG with rockets, field gun, mortar (cause I don't own 2 mortars), Gun Carriage, Jugger, Ruin, Joe, and full mechanics. Lots of dudes.
Played it into Grykim with OW2 (or three). He had hallows, pigs, neighslayers, longfellow, the sisters, 2 skin and and then the medium that zerks.
It was a good match. Ultimately got an advantage when I was able to eat a skin and moans and the medium. At that point it was going to be hard for OW not to feel some scenario pressure so she went for it. Rolled below average (happesn) and then Butcher put her down.
Once again Bad Butcher3 play by allowing a debuff to get onto the dogs. I need to stop that from happening because it is dumb. And hallowmen are, well, really really hard to play WGI into because of the recursion mechanism.
But the challenge in playing against this with this list is as it always is butcher - do you you need to kill the rockets at some point and you need to kill ruin. But Butcher kills armies dead. While Vlad2 is a shooting list as well, I think they work reasonably well together. Next game? Commit to the original strategy - silence of death on the Gun Carriage goes murderate stuff that beeds to be RFP'ed

Was OW not able to windravager to advantage over your shooting? He did. But it was hard because unless witch was COMPLETELY out front (and that is hard for her given Butcher energize+charge threat) there was going to be stuff that was leading which could be shot off the table. Why I think for us we will want to have bad santas with her - extending and enhancing the range of no shooting. He supposedly had a better game with her the next day playing beast heavy.

I'd be interested in reading more about your future games with the list. Although I currently switched to Hark (late to the party), I'm still eyeing B3 with the rifles, carriage, etc. I just don't know if it's necessarily the list you want to play if you don't face Ghostfleet.

I've played Butcher3 in WGK a lot in the past and yeah it's solid. Personally I prefer more aggressive winter guard infantry to rifle corps. And I was running 4 heavies (Ruin, kodiak, kodiak, marauder was the latest I think).
Cheers, Dave
