So I have been running Goreshade for a while now and my opponents are Menoth and retribution, and frankly I have had a very hard time applying axe to face enough for a win, so I have changed my lists for a Deneghra one, I will still be painting the Goreshade list to completion mostly because i love the models and i won't play tricksy elves with minimal jacks all the time :)
So we had an experiment Friday with this:
35pts
P Deneghra
Slayer
Deathripper
Deathripper
Max Mech thralls w/ Brute
Necrosurgeon
Max Satyxis Raiders w/ Sea Witch
Pistol Wraith
Min Bile thralls
And after an exhausting game Deneghra finally fell foul to Hypnos and Ossyan after spending focus before being told that Hypnos is for some reason immune to spells! gah, so Denny bravely charged in to get him out of the control zone which would have given me the win, and got him down to 8 boxes after some terrible rolling on her part (2 missed attacks after shadow binding him), then the last 2 mech thralls charged in and both missed! and the pistol wraith failed in his duties!
Still the things we learnt:
Satyxis under Ghost walk are simply mean, turn 2 they ran through the forest they were hiding behind and through the mage hunters guarding a wall and mixed themselves in amongst the house guard rifles in behind, leaving all the elven shooting units engaged in combat with nasty ladies with reach.
I think waiting another turn for Denny to get in position to feat would be better, or at least have run an arc node up to get in range to pop crippling grasp on the mage hunters ensuring if they run they are likely to get hit, and they can't get far either.
Still lessons learnt, and next time I'll save those three focus to hit jacks in the face more often!
