Cheers for the comment Frankly
Its something i find, most players just plonk their units down in the middle of the board expecting the opponent to do the same.
There is no way he could have deployed opposite my R&F i had almost double the deployment drops. He did state he was thinking of staying put to 'castle up', but that still would of been a bad idea as my sallies would have been able to flame away with no consequence (i think he only had 1 magic missile as his only ranged attack), at least he is putting pressure on them by marching forward.

In the few fights I've had against Lizardmen with my Vampire counts, I took care of the Salamanders with my Banshees, but I had NOTHING else that was capable of dealing with them. This was back in 7th edition when salamanders were both less mobile and less deadly. With that said, I do think that vargheists would deal with them fairly easily. Not a lot of people seem to take those though. In a slow army of dead stuff, mobility is key, and your wolves and bats aren't gonna kill anything with teeth. Anyway, I'm ranting, so congrats on your forfeit victory and good luck in the semi-finals.

Hey Kayosiv
I think one of the big strengths of lizzies is the (cheap) support units, on the other hand i think its undeads main weakness. It has be adressed slightly in the new book but i still think undead lack somewhat in utility units, vargheists would do a good job, but have frenzy(?) making them not as flexible.
A regular opponent used banshees for the exact same reason, good but pricey and hero allowance.

Thanks for the latest two reports - they were good painting company.

Some feedback - more focus, more speed. You shouldn't rush, but I do feel that the tempo should be higher. It is difficult to exactly measure the right level, perhaps use some bullet point notes for the key points and don't ramble?

Anyway, great stuff - you are clearly getting better. Even tmarichards' reports weren't flawless from the start

I have only just realised what you meant...thanks!

Thanks for the honest feedback, will try my best.

Dark elf game


Annoying youtube deleted the original, sorry about my voice.

Your best report yet. Pacing is up and there's a lot of good tactical discussion during the report. Also, congrats on the win.

What I found distracting is you just around turns and phases a lot, and it makes it very hard to keep track of what turn it is your are reporting on. I was totally lost mid-report when you are talking about a combat phase but then jump forward to the next magic phase and what happened but then jump backwards again to finish talking about that combat phase. Try to keep your turns/phases in chronological order, and if possible make a note of it on the screen somewhere. That will help the report flow a lot more smoothly.

So the tournament organiser got back to me, i got the win.

Next i will be playing in the semi final against another dark elf player (with a very similar list). Wahooo!

Thanks for the feedback Kayosiv, I tired the notes but annoying YT deleted the video (and i forgot to save the audio) so this was a second attempt.

The final game



Sorry for the delay

That turn 2 charge is why we redirect

Kind of feel like the scenario did you over there, with any other sort of deployment that game should be an easy win for you as he can't kill the Sallies if they get to go out on the flanks at which point they ruin the Bloodletters.

For the SKrox/Bloodletter match-up, there is a better way round it I think. Swift reform to go 2 deep (and many many wide), walk into range and throw a million poisoned javelins into him, then stand and shoot in his turn for another million poisoned javelins. Whittle them down with Salamanders first, and you should then be able to mop up the last few with the second SKrox unit if he has any left after the first unit is done with him.

Light magic would be also better I think, Life is alright if you want to play points denial but Light turns SKrox into monsters- WS10 I10 ASF SKrox with Pha's just don't die, especially against enemies like Bloodletters who only have one attack (and because you're going first the Herald gets knocked for 6 before he swings, so he's got maybe 10-15 attacks with no Hatred hitting on 5s wounding on 2s. Banishment and Burning Gaze would also destroy his chaff, draw out his dispel dice and worry the GUO from the outset.

I had a plan to speed bump the bloodletters with the swarm but had a bit of a stupid moment and moved it back.

Think I totally agree with you regarding light magic. I had to cancel axes fall tournament in Bristol at the very last minute, to which I was taking two light slann lists. I would of really liked to see how they would of fared, perhaps one of my friends who is still going will give me some 'catch up' games.

Thanks for the feedback and comments
