Oh goodness...that game with abby...what a horrible match up. I honestly don't know how your dreamer list fights that army in any match up. Also, there was almost 0 LoS negation on that board giving him a horrible advantage. I wish you had not of given up, but I understand why you would concede. That was just horrible luck. Do you think you would include a dude spam list just to handle that match up? Since it seems to be your kryptonite and A bazillion dudes would just muck it up. It just such a shame to see a player as skilled as you get beat out by such a crappy draw. Really liked the game with Chandler. Malekus on the table is surprising. Most of the protectorate community does not like him.

It just such a shame to see a player as skilled as you get beat out by such a crappy draw. Really liked the game with Chandler. Malekus on the table is surprising. Most of the protectorate community does not like him. I think that the Abby 2 matchup is doable, but I need to get more practice into it which is hard when the only legion player in my local play group refuses to play her properly (read: only plays 25 shredders). If I'd just face rushed him, I think I actually win this game. His Neraphs are dice off 5 on her feat against the cage ragers, the Enfeebled Carnivean is dice off 3, and so is Proteus - That's not killing three Ragers. The table and scenario were atrocious for me though. Chris apologized in advance and at the end of the game - it was a bad matchup made far worse by the conditions (and my nerves, and my lack of sleep). The game with Chandler was lots of fun! And the next game we played where I stole his Protectorate was also pretty hilarious. Malekus is a boss. Eye of Truth and a Revelator are the perfect battlegroup for him, and Faithful Masses is a great theme for him (as is Creator's Might). I've been dojoing lists with Chandler where Zealots easily one round heavies on feat turn - it's pretty great.

The thing is, I tried using the face tank strategy with Baldur 2 before, and the sheer volume of attacks normally meant dice spikes made the math go stupid. I should face tank most heavies with my guardian, but IME relying on defensive stats is taking risks. And I’m too much of a coward to normally take those risks. That’s where the Double WW List came from Hmmmm...see, I feel feora does Zealots better. Pow 18 with her character jack...Muwahaha. IME Malekus fears, and then he loses a metric butt ton of momentum, also catching your opponent in your Feat without exposing Malekus too much is...difficult. I love open fire and ignite though. And banishing ward is also great. But That momentum drop after Feat takes the wind out of me. All it takes is a couple low dice rolls and your Feat Turn could be wasted :/

Thyra has always caught my eye as an amazing caster. Really her only downside is Focus 6. I planned on running her in Interdiction because Pow 15 Knights Exemplar combined with her feat seems legit. She just works well with anything you bring her in. What I still am not sold on is regular paladins. Champs and Vilimon have me hooked but regular paladins seem like a silly waste of points. for the same cost as the 4 of them you could have had another heavy or a min unit of zealots with the UA. Idrians continue to be the best infantry in faction...which is sad. They are better in close combat than the weapon-master errants lol. What would really impress me is if you ran thyra in Creators might and made it work I think she can even run that theme well but it takes...work

While you are likely right about the regular paladins, I love the idea of them and since I'm not really trying to be competitive with Menoth (that's Chandler's job), I'm keeping them in my version I'm not even gonna touch Creator's Might with her, ughhh. Anyway, actual Grymkin update - this model is ludicrously fun to paint. I'm excited to paint them all up.

Yay piggies!
I adore the piggy models. They just look so happy, like they're having such fun on the field. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by them on the field as well - they take an obscene amount of work to remove, worth their weight in gold.

Especially if you have guns or attacks that cant boost or don't just naturally exceed their arm stat.

My most regular opponent is a Menoth player who terrorises our entire meta with his Idrians.
Last night they preyed my piggies, and it was truly glorious to watch them waste an entire activation to kill one pig per turn (that keep coming back until Sevvy2 feated on the twilight sisters)

Yeah I'm going to give them a try this weekend if I can get a game in, hopefully with both the Heretic and Old Witch. That being said, I'm playing painted so I've got work to do Now there are two!

I'm sure if you follow this page at all, you've seen me posting (spamming) my sketch style painted models. I've certainly fallen in love with the technique, and I've gotten a ton of people asking how it works and what it is. Fear not, the call has been heard and what you're about to click on is an article taking you step by step through the entire process with enough pictures to almost crash the squarespace editor (56!). I hope it's helpful, if you have any questions please feel free to ask (and seriously go check out Matt Dipietros stuff, it's amazing). www.loswarmachine.com/losgeneral/2017/11/18/hobby-time-sketch-style-what-is-it
