During the day we played a little X-Wing, a nice simple game that doesn't require me to paint models but i still will once i get the time, now my painting schedule is clear of Nazi zombies I only have some Nazi tanks and troopers to do before I am done :)
I managed to lose the game of X Wing my elite imperial force being brought low by the rebels with Tenn Numb in his B-Wing killing everything (man that guy is nasty).
In the evening we were joined by a newcomer to our little warmachine group Adam, he brought Menoth led by EFeora to the table, and being new to the game we played a 25 point game to help him learn the basics, I brought Scaverous to the table as I haven't run him in 25 points before, so we had:
Scaverous.
Nightwretch
Nightwretch
Erebus
Full Mech Thralls
Necrosurgeon
Min Bile thralls
War Witch Siren
Adam took
EFeora
Redeemer
Vanquisher
Repenter
Bastions
Choir
After taking the second turn on the roll off I was able to react to Adams deployment, he had placed the Bastions on his left flank behind a forest and everything else in the centre, so to face off against the Bastions Erebus and a nightwretch went to my right, with the Mech thralls up front and biles behind in the centre, the other nightwretch and Siren took my left flank, with Scavs in the middle.
Menoth turn one saw a rush forwards, escort making this a slightly quicker job, although Adam had managed to box feora in and had to move one jack before she activated.
I did similar moves, rushing the right hand nightwretch as far forward as possible and excarnating a poor little choir boy into a bile thrall which promptly bimbles forward and exploded in the face of the vanquisher unfortunately i was a couple of inches shy of the rest of the choir.
Turn two saw a plethora of rockets and flame throwers fly at my closest wretch but with little effect high defence made his shots scatter and as he was on his own nothing was around to be hit.
My second turn saw me put up deathward on erebus, something i forgot to do in my excitement to scrag a choir member, i mostly advanced and reshuffled and got into a better position, moving Erebus towards the centre as the Bastions were going to take ages to get round the forest on that flank.
Turn three saw a more concentrated effort to remove the mechanithralls, lots of AOE was spammed at them, some unlucky scatters saw only 4 dead and the necrosurgeon holding some corpses smiling.
Adam had however misjudged Feora and the Redeemer they were in slamming range of Erebus so popping hios feat Scaverous moved Erebus forward with TK and excarnated another choir boy for good measure, then Erebus slammed the little month jack over the Vassal and Feora knocking her down and dealing a surprising amount of damage considering she was running escort and camping focus, then the necrosurgeon moved forwards popped 3 mech thralls in range who charged in and beat Feora black and Blue, she was however left on 4 hit points and looking for vengeance....
Turn 4 and feora firestepped away from the brawl eyes fixed on Scaverous who had left himself a little open thinking she would be dead by now, she charged in and promptly failed to cause much damage to the mighty Cryxian caster leaving him on 8 hit points, beaten but still standing, he loomed tall and set the teeth of Avernus whirring and feora screamed......
We also had a visit from Simon and his lady Alex who came up from LVL up wargames a new store opening a few metres from my place (how handy) and they ran us all through some infinity games, so now i have a new addiction and after having owned a force for 4 years i finally got to play a game with them, however on the way to the table i managed to drop them, so a bunch of angry legs on bases took to the table and will be repaired soon!
Over this weekend however amongst painting zombies i got time to build Scavs fully, Erebus ad a pair of night wretches so i now have no proxy models in my normal Scaverous list!
