Grim Angus tournament lists, escalation event

[MrChomperz]

I have the foodmachine tournament today and I was thinking about taking Grim, since he is the man when playing in actual objective matches.
The tournament is escalation and times turns.

Grim +6
Blitzer 9
Axer 6
Impaler 5
Scattergunners 5
Runeshapers 4
Whelps 2
25 total,

I playtested this set up a few matches and it turned out ok on the feat turn but that was about it. I may replace the scattergunners with the bushwackers.

to get to 35 I add an Earthborn Dire Troll! The rocket punch has always suited me well, and this is a great spot to add him.

EBDT 10
35 total,

Up to 50 is a hard one,

Max Kriel Warriors 6
Standard and piper 3
Slag Troll 6
50 total,

I have not had time to play test this out. I really dont know if I need the tarpit unit. I wouIld love to add the burrowers but I don't own them and the stores around me are sold out without time to order. A pair of thumpers was another choice but I don't own them either. Everything else is available.

I have to think of what to add to get to 75 points.
Long riders 7
whelps 2
Mulg 11
Bushwackers 5


At lower points I know what I am going to do. At higher, I am flying by the seat of my pants. I expect Jack and beast heavy at the event.


Any tips or tricks would be a big help. Thanks.

too many beasts!!! with all the beasts that you have managing 23 fury is going to almost be impossible!!!

You are really underestemating the whelps. It can and was done. Played that campaign and did not have a single beast frenzy.

The circumstance was awkward though, as for every can of food donated to foodmachine we each got a ticket that can be used to reroll one die, and doubled the cost of tickets as you have to reroll.

I went up agaist 3 oponents,
First
PVlad, I had an assasination attempt against him with the Earthborn, From all the debuffs and help it was not possible to roll high enough to tag him with a melee attack. every time I had the def beet on him my oponent made me reroll with tickets. Mark for death could only get him to def 16 with Blood of kings, it was just brutal. He threw the earthborn out of the way with a jack and charged me with a BoK vlad. No re-rolls could save me.

2nd match
Ashlyn (highborn mercs)
Def 17 ...again... Roughly the same circumstance. I don't want to talk about it.

3rd match,
Shae (pirates)
Got him with a luck shot with the Axer, Boosted to hit, 2 5s and a 6, no amount of rerolls could save him. I lost only 3 models the whole game.

I didn't come in first, but I didn't come in last. In the raffle at the end of teh game I ended up winning a signed, hardcover copy of warmachine prime remix. I will take it.
