The 35pt level begins tomorrow. Stopping by the LGS to find out the standings after finishing up the 25pt level, and also try to get a few games in...for now skipping over the theme force idea and going back to the Blindwater Congregation:

So with a quick update on the league first, three dozen players going through the 25 point level and standings end with four players tied for first place = three gator players ( two others with Barnabas and myself with Maelok ) and one Khador player - my friend MouseC.
And now for my first game to start the 35 point level ( and note, the PoS marker is the BC's Shallow Water )...

...fast forward through the first two turns of Gators running forward at two sets of gunlines and a pair of Mules = two Posse units protected by Zombify, and the third with Death Pact maintained on it. A good round of shooting on the top of turn three leaves one unit with only the leader remaining, but this would set up an assassination run after Damiano advances at the end of the turn. Maelok drops both upkeeps ( Death Pact and Malediction ) at the bottom of turn three, casts Revive twice on two of the fallen Gatormen models, and then Feats. The Gatormen Posse is then able to charge Damiano with two of the models, and with the Cold Blood prayer end the game on three hits...

The two others are chewing through lists because of either knocking down melee targets or hiding in swamps against shooty lists - its kinda funny in a way. As for the fourth player ( Khador ) well eButcher with Doom Reaver spam is just plain silly.Originally Posted by Malorian
"...you don't run internet lists, except for when you make a list and it becomes an internet list..."
Saw this list as a steamroller last weekend. Man that list is mean... Sure I have lists that would beat it but it's not like they are my standard lists.
Not to mention that sure I can shoot them away and take them down, but I would be giving up table control and thus the scenario.

...I want to open first by saying that one thing about league play that I like, is watching players improve their game - for this, I played a little more cautious this time around ( having played this opponent before and knowing their skill level has bumped over the last few weeks )...
...fast forward a few turns into the game, during which I was less concerned with throwing around Fury on revived Gators. My approach was more focused, with the intent that I wanted to neutralize key targets before setting up an assassination run = the Druids were first on my list, and second were Laris and the Pureblood. I did not want these two to have free-range of the table - Laris went down rather easily, but the Pureblood not so quite. Attention was shifted over to the other two Warbeasts after I felt comfortable enough that the Pureblood was held in check...
http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/...m/P82A0150.jpg
...Maelok on his Feat turn was finally able to get models into a more offensive position, ending the turn with the Pureblood ( Feral proxy in image ) badly bloodied & bruised and Kaya engaged by three Posse members, plus the Witch Doctors and Boneswarms ( one with Swarm adjacent to Pureblood ) ready to interact next turn. But my opponent sized up the situation, and rather than play it out offered a handshake, and "good game" which is something I am not used to seeing - but here in this case, I kinda get it...

...trying my best to find an option other than the feat-posse assassination run = Kaelyssa's feat on turn two however put a dent in this idea. Tried to threaten her with the Totem Hunter while the Posse moved into melee range of the Sentinels and Strike Force - hoping Death Pact / Unyielding + Zombify would keep them on the table (helped that opposing units were relatively close together) - the plan worked for the most part, losing only two Gatormen due to a few unengaged Sentinels charging...following turn tried to have Snapjaw power attack: push the Wrastler into charge range of Kaelyssa but failed the strength test, sooo resort to the norm = Maelok revives the two dead Gatormen and Feats, then the Posse charges Kaelyssa to end the game.

The Gatormen eventually win this war of attrition, but had a much harder time trying to crack the high ARM stats of the Warbeasts = the tide quickly shifted in favor of the Thornfall Alliance during Carver's feat turn. Desperation sets in and Maelok sends his Gators at Carver who is tapped out on Fury - but have no effect. A War Hog responds on the next turn, charging Maelok and ending the game...

...going first allowed me to move my models / units quite quickly into positions - both offensively and for objectives. The Totem Hunter was able to eliminate his Prey (LotF) early then Sprint into melee range if Kromac (prey)...this would serve as a wave effect allowing for Thrullg and the Blackhide to engage in later turns (Kromac staying in beast form to jump / attack). Snapjaw and the Posse were able to eliminate both Ghetorix and the Stalker, while the Croak Hunter and Witch Doctor slipped safely into the scoring zones. Time is finally called, and Minions earn the win on Control Points...

...another bloody matchup between my friend and I but the Gatormen weren't as resilient as they were in our previous games = my own fault for this as I allowed the gatormen to advance a little more than they should have, resulting in units being reduced below a comfortable revive number... The Posse were eventually able to strike first though, but doing very little damage to Butcher - Khador returns the favor but has nearly the same results courtesy of the Boneswarms reducing attack rolls... Posse strike again at Butcher, doing more damage but not enough to be lethal - Yuri is able to slip away from the Boneswarm's aura effect and walk right up to Maelok = ending the game on one swing...

...this was one of those match-ups.I had been looking forward to during the league, it just happened to take this long at the 50pt level to play it = eDenny had been one of my most used Warcasters during MKI and going into MKII so I wanted to see what it was like to be on the defending side against her, that and my opponent is a really cool player / new to the game but a fast learner...
...fortunately I had the first turn and anticipating her Feat turn I positioned both Posse units in a spread formation hoping to block my Warbeasts after a first wave / second wave assault. Sure enough, Denny feats on the bottom of turn two, but after all other units had activated - those that did had very little impact through bad attack rolls and / or tough rolls. Only two gatormen fell and I spent turn three essentialy stalled, with the exception of reviving the two Posse members and having them eliminate four Bane Thralls. Cryx had a more offensive bottom of turn three but Denny opted to not become Incorporeal and finished her activation in potentially risky area on the table. The Wraith Engine charged the Leader of a Posse (last model left in unit) but failed on the attack roll...
...next turn, Maelok revives two of the Posse members from the Leader and uses his feat before ending his activation. The Blackhide Wrastler slips through the linesand performs a succesful Death Roll attack on Deneghra, with follow up attacks she gets reduced to only two wounds remaining. The Posse unit activates next, and all it takes is one of the Gatirmen to take a bite out of her to end the

...high ARM and Zombified units of Gatormen helped hold up units near the middle of the tabled, helped also that there was an unusually high number of bad attack rolls. Two turns were spent reviving gatormen just to soften the opposing infantry units and keep them from making ranged attacks. Unfortunately they were getting weathered over time, and soon one flank got crushed -allowing the Stormfall Archers a late game opportunity to take shots at Maelok who was tapped out on Fury...thankfully, one of the Archers was out of range and Maelok survives the turn with seven wounds remaining...
...the next turn opens with a control range check (Maelok is goona need a few more inches for this to work). Bull Snapper advances and ends activation, Maelok then charges the Bull Snapper - revives two Gatormen Posse members - then uses his Feat. The Blackhide Wrastler activates next and does a Power Attack Slam on the Hydra, causing it to knock Kaelyssa down for being in its slam path. Wrong Eye activates next by simply advancing to allow Snapjaw a better control range for being forced. Snapjaw activates and charges Kaelyssa - his bite leaves her with wound and his tail finishes the game...

Maelok's responding feat turn brought two dead Gatormen back to the table - the unit along with assistance from the Warbeasts put an end to the Bronzeback Titan and Molik Karn, but I ended the turn with Wrong Eye in a bad position.. he fell victim to three Posse members on the next turn (removing Snapjaw and the Spitter as a result). The turn ends with the Titan Gladiator charging Maelok, but not before taking a free strike from the Blackhide = the Titan loses its Body as a result...that, and Maelok with Swarm plus his Feat sends the game into another turn. Both the Boneswarm and the Bull Snapper charge the Titan (proximity of Malediction) and do a reasonable amount of damage to it. Then Maelok activates and destroys the Warbeast, finishing his activation by reviving one Posse member - it is then Sac Striked to eliminate an opposing Posse member - which in return opened a charge lane for the Blackhide straight at eMakeda (taking a free strike from a Posse member, scoring minimal damage). Makeda gets Death Rolled, and two hits end the game...

50pt Tournament at Outside The Box - three rounds with two using Maelok and one using Calaban. Odd day with some uncharecteristic behaviors and improper pairings. A conversation following the first round openened up a topic that included "several players" complaining about my playstyle and non-use of tokens during the regular season according to the Press Ganger - none of those alleged players were present at the event, and my non-use of tokens is offset by me clearly marking all spells / effects on the proper cards. The mis-pairings were the result if the Press Ganger leaving the store to get food between rounds, and because of time restraints the LGS owner handled the pairings by winging it. I can say the PG is a friend of mine and I respect him as a player, but I do question his role as a Press Ganger for the local gaming community = based on other discussions, and throwing around too many "I'm the Press Ganger" bragging...for lack of a better word ?
Nonetheless, and all of that aside, if I am playing then I am having a good time... so here are the results for the day.

Molik Karn charges in with all kinds of bells & whistles to end the game on a turn two assassination run.

...once more, Menoth is just one of those armies where I get lost in even of their simplest of buffs. But regadless, it was all of the knockdown effects and models being set ablaze that were troublesome from the start - that and Quick Work helped dismantle my infantry. Any sign of an offensive on my behalf was quickly shutdown by the Repenter - left unchecked for one turn allowed it to spray Wrong Eye leaving only a pile of ashes, thus removing Snapjaw. Meanwhile, the Ironback Spitter met his demise at the hands of the Templar. Desperation kicks in mid to late game, with Maelok's effectiveness getting effected by Lamentation - that and careful placement of defending models plus magic weapons in proximity didn't make things any easier. With final hopes of casting Venom on Kreoss, boosting attack / damage rolls plus the Corrosion effect to end the game, Maelok advances with fingers crossed... but the reality kicks in, and things don't go as hoped :-( the Honor Guard steps forward after on the next turn and sends Maelok back to the grave after being damaged by Errants first...

Thanks, MouseC !..and yes humbled by your words. Lots of good times and great games :-) also Mike pointed something out about the underlying WIP of these battle reports, something I hadn't noticed really until reading through these batreps while homebound during Sandy's arrival last Monday = on that note, I was highly impressed with not only the number of fully painted armies during the league but also the quality: I cannot recall even the slightest bare metal on any models once we hit the 50pt level.
Once more, good times and great games ! Thanks for the congratz, and kudos to all those that participated. And lastly, thanks to Mike D and Outside The Box for hosting the event !
Now looking forward to next session starting in January, this time it looks like Phinneus Shae will be making an appearance on the table :-)
