Skell and I both went up to Brisvegas this weekend for some warmachine. We went to Irresistable Force and played there most of the day, then had a 15 point highlander event on the Sunday at Ace Comics and Games.
First game was a 35 pter between me and Skell. Skell busted out his Bane Knights for the first time and they raped face, putting me in a bit of a desperate position. I then had Reznik make a sweet Engine of Destruction, Perdition charge 17" to try and assasinate pGaspy, but rolled a double one to hit for one of the attacks and fell short. Needless to say Gaspy didn't fail next turn.
Lesson learnt: Perdition does actually work sometimes, but my dice still hate me.
I then played a guy called John who had a Skorne army. This was a new experience for me as I'd never played against Hordes before. We had a 25 pter, and it was not going well for me, as I had taken a slow melee based force against a caster with Inhospitable Ground while I had no terrain mitigation. Things looked very grim, but Jhn eventually exposed his caster (XerxeS?) to a charge from Reznik, who made a nice Wrack out of him.
Lesson learnt: Terrain mitigation is a must have.
I played a small Highlander game against Gav Clarke, the owner of IF. I took Reznik, FoS, Bastions and Vilmon vs a 15 pt list for Gav which revolved around the battlebox and some ManoWars. Got unlucky to lose Vilmon first turn to a scattered AOE, and then found out what Boundless Charge does. Gav soon had Sorscha wrap things up personally.
Lesson learnt: Find out if the opponent has a movement spell!
Skell and I had our first 50 pt game at the motel - it was a bit awkward as we played on a circular table about 40" diameter with no terrain. I really can't remember much about the game - even who won?
