cryx vs cygnar 400 points battle
Posted: 21 Jul 2007, o 14:02
ok, so finally we managed to take some piccies from the game 
last night my beloved cryx led by bastardy goreshade was facing damn cygnar (god, how I hate that fraction...
); anyway expected facing haley so made up dirty plan* against her but Deco has somehow farseen my plotting and took stryker instead...

as You can see all terrain features were concentrated on the table's center; 2 "forests" were providing lots of cover for nasty solos like pistol wraiths, eiryss etc
DEPLOYMENT:

I beated Deco at deployment roll so I was fielding my troops first; most of models were hidden behind hill, caster and bloat thrall on the hill, deathjack (thanks to the advanced deployment) almost in the middle of the table;
the plan was straight: DJ gets into melee asap while remaining forces join it after round or two; goreshade was supposed to spam mageblight so there's no masty magic around

Deco placed alexia and her necro-boyfriends on his right flank, finn in the forest on the right, eiryss in the left one and main forces, lancer, coleman, gunmage adept and heavy jack from the box - in front of deathjack; no idea what Deco's plan was - hope he'll reveal it

whooole speeeeed aheeead!
all cryxian forces advanced: necroburgers... eee... mechanithralls at maximum distance same as gorman, skarlock and necrotech;
pistol wraith moved into forest so bloat thrall can shoot it - there was tiny chance that scattering template hits eiryss but as we can see I didn't have that amount of luck this time
goreshade casted cloak of shadows and deathjack was trying to cast consumption on lancer but unfortunatelly the distance was too far and of course I casted necro-cloud to increase my superjack's DEF value

Deco moved finn close on he position so he could gun-down bloat thrall, gorman and goreshade if I decided to cast sth else than cloak of shadows, alexia and risen also advanced at full speed;
eiryss... have I ever mentioned I hate her? once again she moved a bit and launched distruptor bolt: either cloud or elevated position didn't help deathjack - it was distrupted which means if I don't feed it with necroburger or grab with necrotech - my caster can find himself in a really deep sh!t next turn
cygnar jacks moved closer the hill and stryker did sth really mean:
he casted snipe on gun mage adept for 6 FOC increasing his range up to 18"!!!
adept used one of his super bullets and hit gorman at almost maximum range but fortunatelly inflicted only 2 DMG so my beloved solo was still alive!

cryx time!
since finn became visible I decided to get rid of him using AOE weaponary I had: gorman's bombs and bloat thralls despoiler: both guys missed but despoiler's template was wide enough to hit finn: he lost 4 of 8 DMG boxes but it was still alive (booo! what a shame!
) and was just reloading machine gun 
will fortune help gorman again?
mechanithralls, necrotech and caster moved forward as far as it was possible - bastard casted consumption on lancer ripping it's left arm off and cloak of shadows again - there were too many snipers around for mageblight spam;
the time has come for the first dirty cryx gambit: deathjack ate one of mechanithralls and slammed cygnar heavy jack: boosted hit-roll guaranteed the success the target of my power attack was thrown away 5" and knockdowned but most important: gunmage adept was hit by passing jack... AND KILLED!!! muahahahahaaa...!!!
there was only pistol wraith left to activate: I tried to injure enemy caster but managed to score only single hit... oh well...

cygnar revenge!
finn was trying to take down gorman but thanks to increased DEF he missed; second goodie-goodie solo had much more luck: eiryss with no problems put fantom seeker between mechanithralls' liutenant orbits so I had one necrosandwitch less in my menu;
ironclad (I've just reminded the name! woo-hoo! ) moved into btb contact with deathjack and risen charged my wunderwaffe but even in spite of alexia's magic help they didn't manage to scratch the target;
alexia was attempting to take control over mechanithralls but thank's toruk my unit was inch (YES! JUST A SINGLE INCH!!!) beyond the range
lancer charged necrotech** and spent 2 left FOC for additional attacks against the bastard! iirc my caster got 6 damages... ouch!
stryker moved behind ironclad, casted armour boost on himself and launched feat for getting even more ARM! after that he had 23 ARM value!!!

first of all I wanted to solve finn-problem: gorman moved close enough to hit that solo with black oil grenade: no shooting, no running, decreased DEF and RAT etc: cygnar solo was harmless now;
bloat thrall shot at alexia: I had almost no chance to hit her BUT scattering shot could catch her or remove risen from play! unfortunatelly it scattered in totally wrong direction - looks like I fortune left me after saving gorman's ass twice
pistol wraith was trying to hit colman again but with no success but that wasn't important because there was a time for second dirty gambit this evening!
mechanithralls left forest moving as far as it was possible; avoiding freestrike goreshade left close combat to get into 6" from deathjack (spell range) and casted soulgate:
deathjack was teleported out of melee and replaced one of mechanithralls and because it has 5 FOC put on - charged enemy caster!
there's actually not much to say: 23 ARM couldn't protect mr stryker against 3 fist attacks: 2 of them had boosted hit and dagage rolls
the game was over***
*and wont spoil it until I face that b!tch!
**... and missed
***return match probably tonight
