FalconFive's Battle Reports

Well finals of our month long event are here. After working back to back 13 hour days I was a bit exhausted and made a few mistakes that were quite frustrating to me, but all in all it was a really great game and required alot of focus. Forgot to take pictures consistently.. oops.. My opponent for the finals was playing protectorate of menoth. His pair was Amon in crusaders might and Feora 3 in Guardians of the Temple. He brought these two casters because he rarely plays them and wanted to force himself to try other things. I had my pair of Una 2 and Krueger 1. My plan was to drop Krueger 1 because I was worried that if he dropped feora, tuna would have a rough time. Birds don't care for fire.. When I got there I thought I had left my druids at home (turns out they were there all along). I had to drop Una 2. He ended up dropping Feora 3 and realized he forgot Feora at home. He lived close and offered to go home and get it, but it was late and I told him to just proxy wit

So I recently acquired some grymkin and wanted to take them for a spin. The Wanderer has my attention. I love his personal aesthetics and his cross roads ability is unique and intriguing. I've seen a few lists posted around with him running bump in the night, but I feel he has some potential with dark menagerie. Abusing starcrossed on defense 13/14 beasts seems good. Coming from circle I can attest to this first hand. Here is what I came up with. War Room Army Grymkin - Wanderer - DM Theme: Dark Menagerie 5 / 5 Free Cards     75 / 75 Army The Wanderer - WB: +28 -    Skin & Moans - PC: 15 (Battlegroup Points Used: 15) -    Skin & Moans - PC: 15 (Battlegroup Points Used: 13) -    Cage Rager - PC: 14 -    Cage Rager - PC: 14 -    Frightmare - PC: 9 -    Frightmare - PC: 9 -    Crabbit (Dark Menagerie) - PC: 0 -    Crabbit (Dark Menagerie) - PC: 0 Death Knell - PC: 13 Gremlin Swarm - PC: 0 Gremlin Swarm - PC: 0 Gremlin Swarm - PC: 0 Gremlin Swarm - PC: 3 L

*note - not sure what happened to the original post. I am going to do a rewrite but more of a summary then full details.* Round 3 of our month long steamroller event. I am paired up against another troll player. His pair was doomy 3 in power if dhunia and grissel 2 in band of heroes.  I decided to drop una 2 and utilize the gallows grove and nightwitches to deal with tough and doomy 3's feat of he sent that way. He did indeed drop doomy 3.  The scenario was breakdown.  He won the roll but opted for sides. I was happy about this decision because I like to go first with this list and terrain doesn't slow me down. I deployed centrally and was going to have trackers oposite the death wolves to score the zones but he deployed his mountain king on the side they were going to go. So instead the trackers counter deploy and put prey on the mauler.  Doomy deploys basically in the center with the king off to one side.  His list was: Doomy 3 - Power of Dhunia -Mountain King -Mulg -Bouncer

Round two of the month long steamroller. This round i was paired against the other circle player in the event. He was running Kaya 3 in Call of the Wild and Wurmwood in The Wild Hunt theme. The scenario for this week was the Pit 2. I decided to drop Una 2 because Krueger with all the guns was not going to be effective into either list. Wurmwood obviously is great into guns and his Kaya list was sporting too much stealth which I had no way to ignore outside of a few sprays. He decided to drop Kaya 3 because he figured I was going Una 2 which would largely ignore his feat. We had a third party set up terrain on our table. He knew we both basically ignore forests so he decided to fill the table with obstructions and clouds. Sure made for an interesting game. Kaya won the the roll (+1 to go first and stuff). He decided to take the side of the table that would allow Kaya to hide behind a cloud wall and hopefully not die to assassination. I was happy about this because I re

My LGS started a month long steamroller event this past week. Same rules as a standard steam roller just spread out to one game per week. This is the second time we have tried this style of play and had decent success. More players join and start the event, but more people drop as well. so pros and cons to either format. For this tournament I decided to run Una 2 (Devours Host) and Krueger 1(Secret Masters).  This format tends to have more of a casual feel to it so I wanted to explore alternate pairings.  My Lists: Una 2  - Gorax - Scarsfell x 5 Nightwitch x2 Gallows Grove Tharn Shaman Tharn Ravagers with Cheiftain Tharn Bloodtrackers Lanyssa Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew Death Wolves Krueger 1  -Feral -Pureblood -Woldwyrd -Woldwyrd Celestial Fulcrum Wronge Eye -Snapjaw Druids with Overseer Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew  Una is pretty much my go to into everything. She has her bad match ups but I feel like I can drop her into most thing

Got a game in today. Semi casual. Both if us were trying new things.  Krueger 1 vs Doomy 3. Scenario was spread the net. My list: Krueger 1 - Secret Masters -feral warpwolf -pureblood -woldwyrd -woldwyrd Celestial Fulcrum Druids with overseer Wrong eye and snapjaw Gobbers bellows crew Adams list: Doomy 3 - power of Dhunia -mountain king -axer -earthborn -mulg Dhunia knot Krielstone with elder 2x northkin shamans (Doomys scroll bearer was proxied by wrongeye) I won the roll and chose sides. Terrain was really heavy on both sides so I chose the side with the house to give Krueger a place to hide and the zone would be easier to defend. Adam when first and ran. Feral and snapjaw had to move towards the opening in the rough terrain. The druids deciding they were going to be useless in this matchup because of implacibility, run hard left to flank.  Adam pushes into the central zone and creates a beast wall in the middle. Doomy feats this turn. The rest of his su

   So been it's been awhile since my last battle report. But seeing as how I haven't been able to play as much I'm going to start logging them again.  This is mainly for my own benefit and hopefully some light entertainment for anyone reading it. We had a steamroller at my LGS the day after themes dropped. So everyone was playing new lists and new themes. Before themes dropped I was planning on running 2una in devours host paired with wurmwood in wild hunt. With the themes being released I really wanted to try out a kaya 3 list I built. I ended up pairing it with Greg Collinson's Baldur 1 list which I've played before and enjoyed. I wanted to bring tharn but not double up on griffons so 2una was out. The lists were: Kaya 3 Theme: Call of the Wild 3 / 3 Free Cards     75 / 75 Army Kaya the Wildheart - WB: +27 -    Scarsfell Griffon - PC: 8 (Battlegroup Points Used: 8) -    Scarsfell Griffon - PC: 8 (Battlegroup Points Used: 8) -    Scarsfell Griffon - PC:

Round 4 finals of the steamroller. I'm paired against Danny. He is running hyperion and helios with support in both lists. Only real difference is the caster. One is lead by vyros 2 and the other is Assyria.  I'm list locked into krueger 2 and he drops vyros 2. His list I believe is: vyros 2 (Theme for free solos) -4 griffons -helios -hyperion arcanists and support. Sylas is in there as well. As a recap my list was: Krueger 2 -Loki -Megalith -Feral -Woldwyrd x2 Ogrun Bokur Lanyssa Shifting x2 Sentry x2 Gallows grove The scenario is recon. Most of the terrain is on the edges of the table except for 2 trenches right in the middle of the zone. I win the roll again and decide to go first. The table is actually pretty balanced and doesn't come into play much(unlike all of the previous tables... lol) Danny chooses the side with the hill for vyros to sit on. I deploy with krueger central and the rest of my army is balanced around him. I have my stones spread thr

Round 3 there were 4 of us left that were 2-0. It was danny, john, Matt, and myself. John and Danny were paired and that left Matt and I. Game 9 - Baldur 2 vs Lord Carver Matt was one listing the even and this was his list: War Room Army Minions - Matt - farrow Theme: The Thornfall Alliance 3 / 3 Free Cards     75 / 75 Army Lord Carver, BMMD, Esq.
