Thanks for taking the time to read them guys Sweet as usual, I can say you do us proud. Too bad you missed Rikard, he is nice person to chat with. As you mentioned about swapping out brigands for commandos, the sweet combo that has really worked well for me is teaming them with hutchuck. This combo allowed me to win a 12 person tourney, the combination of their abilities work well. The back of a commando can be a nice target. KSW I'll likely put Hutchuck back in the list as well. I guess you were using them as a homing beacon for Rust Bombs? Just a shame the Commandos wouldn't be contributing to the damage at that point. Although I won't be ambushing them, I don't think, since what I want from them is the board presence rather than to serve as Hutchuck's supporting act. I'm undecided yet on whether I should be swapping them out for Brigands, or if the better route is to trade the Slaughterhousers out for them and a unit of Valkyries. I'm leaning towards the latter, though losing the Slaughterhousers does make me nervous in terms of playing the list as a way to crack the likes of Madrak1 and Gaspy3. Bro. Bro. Broself. Abroham. Ambush them, unless you are gonna use them as cloud wall bacons (beacons?).

If I'm taking them for board presence, having them ambush in and end up roughly a deployment zone's distance towards the centre of the board on Turn 2 is not a terribly efficient way to achieve the goal

Great writeups and congrats on the results. Interesting lists... might have to delve into the Doctors lab.

Great writeups and congrats on the results. Interesting lists... might have to delve into the Doctors lab. I mean I will certainly always advocate for trying out Doctor Arkadius That part of my tournament pair is basically never in question. I'm very happy with where my list is for him at the moment, he's a good generalist for taking on basically anything but the hardest skews.

Nice going, it was a bit amusing looking at the WTC stats for pigs and going 'I'm sure that's just Liam.' Board presence is definitely an issue I've noticed with pig infantry (not that I've run Thornfall in over a year). Ambushing commandos wouldn't reach central opposing zones/flags and getting the across the table when deployed would be hard. Maybe if we had a way to make Gudrun stand up after feign death... FYI Rasheth doesn't have Lamentation.

FYI Rasheth doesn't have Lamentation. There were two other Arkadius players at least I'll need to do some experimenting I think. My preferred option may end up just being to have the Efaarit/Alten module but I'm always a bit wary of how easily they die if you don't keep them right back. And that defeats the point of taking them for board presence. Ah yeah. Sorry. Castigate. I knew what my opponent meant when he said it but then the memory of him saying Lamentation stuck.

I just saw this as I don't play Minions. Thanks for doing a report on 2 of my fellow Belgians Not a problem man! They were great games, even if I got a little annoyed at dice in one of them and the other was... very short. I read your reports on your own games when they went up. You sure gave Brian a heck of a game from the sound of it.

You sure gave Brian a heck of a game from the sound of it. Yeah, we both went into that game thinking we were going to have a bad time, but in the end it turned out to be a really tight game overall, also one of the most enjoyable I had had that weekend I hope to face you guys again next year.
