Warmachine Vs. Hordes Battle Report - September 22
Last night at Showcase Comics in Bryn Mawr, Feora Prime led the Protectorate in a 35 pt battle against the Druid heathens of Circle Oroboros.
My opponent moved his Tharn Ravagers into a forest, shielding them from view of my Vanquishers. He took cover in some ruins which caused problems for me throughout the game.
I tried to position myself to blast him with the flame belchers, but before I knew it his warlock, Krueger the Stormwrath, had moved in to the ruins and declared his feat, which placed 3 destructive electrical AOE's in his control area. 6 of my Flameguard were decimated and my Reclaimer promptly collected their souls. Feora was blasted twice by 2 AOE's. The Gnarlhorn Satyr charged my Vanquisher and slammed him, crushing my Vassal to death.
My 1 armed Vanquisher tied up a Warp Wolf in melee combat. The remainder of the Flameguard battled with the Tharn Ravagers and set them on fire. My only hope for victory was a desperate assassination attempt with pinpoint accuracy. Feora got into position and blasted Krueger with her dual Flamethrowers. Sadly, with her low RAT (ranged attack stat) and bad rolls, the attacks missed.
On the next turn, Krueger blasted her with Chain Lightning, and an Argus (read: two-headed demon dog) tore her to shreds. Not a hero's death by any stretch...
Though my terrible strategery and pathetic dice-rolling once again brought shame to the Protectorate, it was a great time as always and got to play with some newly-built, newly-painted models. The unstoppable force of the Showcase crew is on a deadly collision course with the immovable object of TempleCon 2011!
