EMorghoul vs. EMadrak - 35 pts - PICS

[PG_Mr. Mayhem]

Here?s a new battle report featuring Jamar?s Skorne taking on my Trollbloods.

Jamar?s List:

EMorghoul
Titan Cannoneer
Cyclops Savage
Cyclops Brute
Basilisk Drake x 2
Basilisk Krea
Max. Nihilators
Min. Beast Handlers




My List:

EMadrak
Bomber
Impaler
Max. Fennblades + UA
Max. Burrowers
Min. Kreil Stone + Ua
Fell Caller
Runebearer




Deployment: Jamar won the roll off and opted to go first. From top to bottom he deployed: Nihilators, Morghoul, Drake, Beast Handlers, Brute, Cannoneer, Krea, Savage and the other Drake. From top to bottom I deployed: Runebearer, Bomber, Impaler, Kriel Stone Bearers, Madrak, Fennblades, Fell Caller and Burrowers AD?d.

The scenario we played this game was Close Quarters, in which a player scores control points for controlling the 8″ diameter zone close to their opponents board edge and the first player to 3 points wins. The killbox rule was also in effect for the scenario. The larger rocky area centered in the bottom of the pic is a hill.

Another awesome battle! Epic Madrak is, well, epic. Curious, what was the Skorne players inspiration for bringing the cannoneer?

[PG_Mr. Mayhem]

He had a good hunch about what I was bringing in my list and his rough plan was to try to thin my units with ranged attacks, then with Silence of Deathed Nihilators. The Cannoneer was obviously on the ranged end of that and may have earned it's points if it used it's animus the turn the Burrowers and remaining Fennblades hit, but as mentioned in the aftermath he regretted the choice and has played the same list since, swapping the Cannoneer and one of the Basilisks out for Marketh and a Bronzeback.

Hi there. my reason for bring the cannoneer was the need for a way to clear the burrowers early and deal with some of his infantry. this was a mistake, 1 3in aoe does not cut it for anti infantry aoe 4 roy 2 would have been a treat, alas no access to bombers. stupid trolls. though i think the cannoneer is worth it he provided nothing in this battle and i should have brought a bronzback instead. if this game i either couldn't affect his units or didn't want to at range.
