cryx

demi, we don't ALL have the Fire effect. In fact, it's not nearly as common as you'd think. A lot of things only have it for criticals. Cryx has corrosion as a natural part of things. We've got tons of flamethrowers that don't actually set things on fire.

They propably do now. I've heared rumors that they've changed rules for flamethrowers in "Prime: Remix".

@AoM: I've never seen any serious damage caused by corrossion, but've seen what fire-for-everyone can do with my troops

today I had a pleasure to play another cryx vs khador battle:
this time I faced Deco's brand new order - second destroyer (I mean that shooty jack), vlad, mortar and alexia + risen; conclusion:
- with blood of the kings casted vlad can be extremly annoying...
- risen: they were really funny guys until my warcaster was charged by 2 of them with alexia's special boost to attack and damage rolls: these sneaky bastards almost killed my poor lichie!!!

- well motivated (by soul tokens) pistol wraiths can do miracle!

Heh... that was something. Lich almost killed by two Risens.

Great game.

today after work we (Deco & I) had another encounter:
we decided to go for pyrcon 2007 convent and therefore we have to practice some dirty combos to proudly represent sh!thole we live in

anyway the battle was quite unique:
it was the largest battle we played so far (600 points

) and the shortest one - it took us only ~hour to finish it (which is quite an achievement compared to our standard gaming time

);
in the final action vlad and devastator (bulldozing jack) came close to my forces, protected by collapsed building and fire from 2 destroyers and mortar; Deco's plan was to survive my round (especially deathjack crossing their path) and after that release hell with help of exploding devastator + melee monster vlad (boosted by blood of the kings);
unfortunatelly my round appeared the last round of the game

I casted mage blight to prevent vlad and grey lords from casting their nasty spells, allocated 2 focus points on deathjack and before launching charge I casted dark shroud on DJ and threw black oil on vlad and devastator!

after THE charge there were still unspent head attack + focus point left on my helljack...

so the conclusions:
- I finally managed to see what can deathjack do in melee
- skarlock finally did something important
- I love You gorman :rose:

The shortest battle cause we ain't have a beer.

Somebody knows what to do with this sneaky bastard Gorman? Can't handle with him before he throws one of his nasty bombs in my jack.

about killing gorman: use the old witch and a destroyer: she ignores stealth. Or hope for a lucky scatter roll. If you can catch him in an AOE (bombard or magic), he's dead 8 times out of 10.
You can go hunting for him with a manhunter or Eyriss too.
Try to position your greylords so that you catch him in the spray. You can't target him, if you're further away than 5 inch, so you just need to target another model and have him near that model.

There are a lot of ways to kill gorman. It takes only 1 hit and he's dead.
