Well my frantic painting paid off as I had my 750pts Cryx list ready for the Toy Soldier event. A great weekend event organised by JT of my Gaming Club. 8 Games over 2 days:
350pts vs Mercs (Shae) Pitch Battle. The Coven won the day but I missed the Caster kill.
350pts vs Circle (Baulder) Mosh pit. I took the Coven and although I took out both Wold Wordens I lost the scenario, my pDenny list would have been the better choice here.
500pts vs Khador (Scorsha). The Coven got the Caster kill.
500pts vs Khador (Butcher) Loot. My pDenny list lost out to the Butcher, 2 counter vs his 3 counters.
750pts vs Circle (Kaya) Mosh Pit. The Iron Lich performed very well. Lost Deathjack early in the game, but a counter charge by my trusty McThralls did plenty of damage to the Pure Blood and Warp Wolf. Routed the reeves with a Hellfire from Wrathe and a well placed Arc-node allowed me to unload Hellfire after Hellfire into Kaya for the Caster Kill. Came down to Time and there was no circle models with a CMD in the Mosh pit, so I took the game.
350pts vs Trollbloods (Grim) Pitch Battle. pDenny and the Cankerworm unloaded in to Grim spending 6 focus between them to bring him down.....he was dead already but kept making his tough roll......
500pts vs Trollbloods (Grissel) No Mans Land. pDenny did well and I got the caster kill but did not have enough VPs in the end as I lost Denny. Made a mistake when casting Ghost Walk on Denny to ignore free strikes...forgot that Denny did that already, if the focus had only been used to kill off the remaining Trollbloods Champions things might have been different.
750pts vs Khador (Butcher) Contested Ground. The Iron Lich performs very well, but really the Game was won when the Butcher and a Spriggan charged, but failed to take out Deathjack. It was a bold move and when if failed Deathjack jumped on Butcher's head. The remainder of the games was spend clearing up the field. One particularly pesky Manhunter refused to have the good grace to die, but eventually I managed it to take the game.
After all that I managed to come in at 4th place, happy days.
