Skarre the 2nd is still amazing. Shes the caster ive used most often and she has the most consistant win rate for me. This is not my usual list (obviously
) but something im trying to decent effect. Bear in mind that the list given has a lot of weaknesses (Trolls, legion and jackspam would be the main ones). Here im mostly trying to see see whether I can make a decent pairing for it (scaverous did not cut it for this though the scav list was good in and of itself).
Game 1: Scaverous vs Maelok Blindwater theme. Didnt drop skarre here as lots of heavy infantry arent this lists preferred thing. I could have done it in retrospect but without prior experience of blindwater I dropped scaverous which can deal with gators like a champ.
Game 2: Scaverous vs Khador butcher 3 jackspam. That Skarre list doesnt like full on heavy jack spam. Scaverous thinks its joyous.
Game 3: Skarre vs Amon. Amon is pretty jack heavy but also has lots of support to chew on. It also has only two magic weapons, one from the indictor and one from the battle engine.
Turn 1:He goes first and runs up, keeps amon behind a roadblock jack. I then run up all my stuff to just outside of threat from his indictor
Turn 2: He jimmies around to get dervishes into position to charge pirates and gets indictor into position to charge. Battle engine shoots out a machine wraith. My second machine wraith sends his
indictor back to take 6 points off amon. Kraken and raider captain takes boxes of dervishes with shooting.
Turn 3: He charges in with dervishes to kill off all but one pirate, the captain and the necrotech. We forgot one dervishes lost weapon which hurt me a little. Everything else comes forward, amon
hides behind roadblock jack. My wraith engine then charges his battle engine, does damage, then kills a choir member, produces a machine wraith which charges the roadblock jack and makes it wander.
Skarre uses soul strike to kill a choir and the machine wraith. Tries to black spot amon and does not hit (very bad). However skarre shooting and kraken shooting still manages to put amon into the
ground.
Game 4: Skarre vs Legion lylyth 3 This was his match to lose not mine to win as neither of my lists were even passably a good match here, however skarres feat would at least guarrantee me a chance.
His list: Lylyth, 2x archangels, naga, bolt thrower, ice ice trio, 2x forsaken, 2x shepherd.
He went first, I charged in under feat (on skarre, archangels, kraken and a wraith engine, leaving skarre in the open as bait. He took it and went for assassination with lylyths feat. He needed to
roll a 13 to hit which would have made her stationary. He had three boosted shots, he missed all three -roughly a 40% chance. He repositioned lylyth back as far as he could but promptly got
blackspotted, wraith engine charged and shot to death by a kraken that I inexplicably forgot to allocate to
. I certainly dont recommend this strategy but one thing you can say about skarre is
that the feat always gives you something when you come up against the matchup from hell.
So in short I dropped skarre out of a match I had little experience in, dropped her out of a match I knew she would lose, dropped her into pretty much her perfect opponent then dropped her into something hopeless which she promptly headbutted in the crotch.
) but something im trying to decent effect. Bear in mind that the list given has a lot of weaknesses (Trolls, legion and jackspam would be the main ones). Here im mostly trying to see see whether I can make a decent pairing for it (scaverous did not cut it for this though the scav list was good in and of itself).
