Went 3-0 but came in 3rd because I suck at scenario.
Game 1(King of the Hill) vs Kraye in SotT with 2 Centurions, Stormclad, Black 13th, Cyclone, Strangeways, Caine0, Ace and Squire. I played Gaspy and I think just really surprised my opponent at how fast I was and he kind of forgot about my ambush unit which tied up half his army. The Kraken, Cankerworm and the Slayer were able to walk to the 2 centurions and kill both with some nice rolls. He was a little too conservative with the stormclad so wasn't able to charge Gaspy through a forest and instead trampled. Still managed to hit me on two unboosted attacks but left me one something like 9 boxes with Kraye sitting in the open with his back to the slayer. I totally messed up though and didn't clear zones for scenario before going for the assassination and would come to regret it later.
Game 2(Recon II) vs Ossrum and the bunny list. I took Gaspy again and it was quite a grind. He kept throwing bashers in front of the Kraken to slow it down and took down the slayer and seether with the loss of only 1 driller. My mechanithralls proceeded to fail miserably to take out the hammer dwarves and the lone gunbunny he put in their path. I was feeling pretty overwhelmed again on scenario but go lucky because my opponent had to go whole hog on my feat turn so Gaspy was sitting on 20+ focus. I got the defiler within 8 inches of Ossy and proceeded to hellfire him into the dirt but scored 0 points.
Game 3(Anarchy) vs Sorscha1 and ALL THE DOOMREAVERS!!!! This game was actually against a guy I play a lot and I'd say we are pretty even but I was happy to be playing a list I had seen before because I was getting pretty drained mentally at this point. I play Scaverous as he seemed better suited for this scenario. Most of the game was me killing doomreavers, then the ternions killing my guys and bringing them back, then me adding more with the cannon and Rengrave. AND before you say it, this was at least the 5th game we had played with that list and only on the drive back home did we realize that Bonds of Woe only works on living models! The attrition was interesting though because it pretty much came down to him having full units on one flank and me having a full unit of Revenant crew(although he had got the leader with a BoW) on the other. He was up 5-1 on scenario though and I was feeling the pressure to go for an assassination. Luckily I had one last arc node left to get within range of def 18 Sorscha. Turns out Scaverous is really good at assassinating on his feat when he starts with 16 focus. I did remember to set myself up for 2 points before ending it but still came in last in points among the 3-0 players. It was kind of a weird scenario because the top two players were father and son and wanted to play other people so we all just ended up playing down.
All in all, it was a really fun time and got to meet a bunch of new people and everyone was very chill and having a good time.
