Epic Fail of Gorten!!

[Raveno]

Ok I had a game a couple of nights ago and still getting over how badly it went for me :)

Newish player to MKII but experienced gamer had a Khador force with Sorscha(25pts) so i gave him a game with Gorten so both of us had mostly close combat troops except i tryed out gun corps.
I had the game in the bag with gun bunnies and corps ripping his army to bits and thought i'd go in for the kill with driller and Gorten......my mistake I left Gorten in the open and watched in horror as Sorscha cast boundless charge on herself and jogged gently over to me,popped her feat and sliced up Gorten like a roast.
End of game I had Thor,4 gun corps,driller,6 forgeguard,herne and Joane and 2 gun bunnies against Sorscha...Epic Fail ROFL

Regular Sorscha?

Gorten
19 ARM
~17 Damage


Sorscha
6 Focus
-2 Boundless charge
4 Focus

3d6 - 6 = 4.5Dmg

Then you can buy 4 attacks for avg 4 more damage, or buy and boost damage for two more attacks at 4.5 damage

Average damage would be around 13-15 damage, not enough to kill Gorten.

It was the kind of Hail Mary pass that you see especially from Khador warcasters, he got lucky, you did not fail. If you were camping 1 or more focus it would have been extremely unlikely to succeed.

Assuming, of course, that Gorten started the turn unscathed.

Lol yeah average stats,regular Sorscha and everything.....the first attack he rolled 6,6 and a 5 for damage.Gorten had already taken 4pts of dmg from an earlier attack and then the dice gods betrayed me as Sorscha's average on 3 dice was 12 :)
