So, never had a battle report log, and thought it would be nice to start one to keep track of my adventures with the best looking army out there.
A little backstory first,In mk1 I bought primal and thought that trolls looked absolutely awesome, in mk2 when my group started playing I sold my small troll force to a friend, and went other ways.
At the tail end of mk2 I traded my retribution for a huge cryx army, I had great plans, an awesome vampire/undead medieval theme in mind but then reality hit, I can't paint that many duplicates of the same (bad looking) figures and what I had was mostly thrash in mk3. Then it happened, someone was looking to give his trolls away and wanted cryx, I knew it was the perfect chance and seized it.
Now I own aomost the entire tb range, and it's time to learn to play them
.
So the other day I made a list I wanted to try to test different things out and see how much of the common wisdom fits my playstyle.
I rolled with:
Gunnbjorn (oooh boy)
-mountain king
-dozer and smigg
-blitzer
-bomber
Horgle
-pyre
Janyssa
Northkin shaman
Northkin shaman
My opponent played butcher3 jack spam with something like
2kodiaks
2juggernauts
3marauders
Ruin
2 forge seers
Wardog
Brutal list, looks fun to play
Scenario was the one with 2 round zones on the middle line.
I go second, first turn he ran everything up apart from butcher that energizes and charges.
I set my army out of his threat range and start hitting things with dozer gunny and blitzer that rolls ony one shot. My dices are pretty hot and I put some wounds on a kodiak.
The Mk and janissa went in the lef zone, gunny is in the middle with dozer and a shaman and the rest on the right.
Second turn, he keeps coming forwardbto force my hand and threatening scenario, a juggernaut comes close to the mk as a bai for his friends that are out of my charge range, kodiaks' clouds go down.
In my turn I remember about janissa's abilities, she comes out from behind the king and tectonic shifts the jugg near the king that is able to scrap him without exposing hinself to retaliation and killshots a kodiak lowering his def.
My dice on the shooting beasts go wild and ome kodiak and a half go down.
The battered one gets 12 wounds from horgle casting molten metal twice (awesome stuff) and gets finished by a charging pyre troll with animus that jams a marauder to boot.
The butcher goes to 2 but I have already taken out 3 heavies and peppered a couple more
In his turn he kills the pyre with ruin that gets a soul, butcher puts himself where he can't be ignored and walks an argus and a heavy in the left zone to contest and forcr my hand. The other 3 heavies form a wall in front of ruin, ready to boundless charge my army.
In my turn janissa tectonic shifts again and clear the zone, thr bomber with 4 fury doesn't frenY (fuuuuuuuuuuuu) gunny doesn't crit devastation again, the right northkin freakstorms into the right zone, the left one in front if gunny and then disaster stikes.
-a little side note I'm quite infamous in my playgroup for my blast damage rolls, I simply kill things, and often scatters in the most lethal places, I've won lost games in this manner and I can't control it-
Karma bites me back, dozer shoots the middle jack in the brick. With animus up, amd boosted to hit from gunny spell I am looking for a 7 to hit a def ten heavy.
It misses.
It scatters,
Max distance right on the 2 arguses/argii
I reroll.
It scatters the same distance and direction.
Dozer's bond is boosted damage rolls.
I wound the 2 argii.
I place the mk to try and shield gunny but it's no use, butcher vengence around the wall, charges in and puts an end to my misery
.
All in all a fun game, mvps
The blitzer that has only rof 1 (never rolled more than that)
Gunny that just isn't able to crit (super strong ability in this case)
I really liked horgle with the pyre (especially with free horgle)
Janyssa is really useful.
So that's it for my first game, really liked gunny and dozer, I'll try it out with a earthborne instead of the blitzer nex time to make the most of the wall.
Any advice are welcome, I'm a mediocre player at best but I love this game and the faction, next time I'll try to take pictures between rounds.
