So I have a dream. A dream where I play the same caster for more than one week at a time. I've rolled many dice, and I've ended up choosing Zevanna Agha, The Fate Keeper.
So, Old Witch 2... And why 50 shades? Its becauseI have deep dark fantasies about her in a 50 shades of gray kind of way I want to play 50 games with her this year.
So what does OW2 offer us? Well she's on a huge base and is kind of an odd caster halfway between being a control and a support caster. She's arguably our best anti shooting caster because her Wind Storm is so huge, she gives out free charges, has a lot of focus efficiency and battle group buffs, has access to one of our only enemy upkeep spells (curse of shadows, which provides a load of random usefulness) and spell efficiency.
I'm currently waiting for the Wolves CID to come forward, but I've already played a few games this year (3 out of 50.) Using Rob McCormick's OW2 list, because I enjoy going off the deep end. His list is.

It's a very odd list, but it gave me a lot of experience as I dragged the list I never really played before to a steam roller and went 1-2 with it. I lost both games for various reasons. I played into the new immortal goodness, and lost because I failed to kill an immortal. A Spriggan with 4 boxes (from reconstruction) was staring down Zaal2 camping 0 with full focus, but he couldn't charge due to the immortal. I had plenty of opportunities to kill this guy.... But i chose not too. Eventually the OW was cut down my incorporeal immortals, who charged through my rager who has magical attacks because I forgot that. I also forgot that he had blessed at least twice. Never forgot Behemoth's Blessed however. I won a game against Thagrosh1 CoTD against a new player, so that doesn't count, and I lost with her into Tharn. But again, it was a close game with my opponent snatching the last victory point with under two minutes on his clock.
It was a day of learning, lets put it that way.
For now, my current list will be this

I do expect the list to change rapidly once the CID comes out. But until then I will assume that it does not exist. Alexia exists to help with the lower model count, bringing up more risen. Fenris is there for some reason, and the Koldun Lords combined with the OW2 provide a really hard no shooting bubble of nope. A pair of juggernauts makes up her battle group, with boundless charge they can ignore penalties. Ideally I would like a third warjack, but that will have to wait until after CID where I can potentially remove Alexia to bring in more points (Going Marauder, Marauder, Rager costs 5 points. Which is also good.... Hmm, that actually sounds like a good idea.
Anyway, this is going to catalogue my attempts to be more consistent with OW2. My current plan is to pair her with Sorscha3 in AC, because that is also a pairing that I can use in Champions format. Otherwise I might pair her with Strakhov1 in Jaws, because that's a fun list to play. Or maybe Malakov2 in AC because he seems like a quirky individual.
If anyone has any comments then drop them below, I accept all forms of criticism (but you may make me cry if you are too harsh, but don't let that stop you, I like the pain.)
