Run down of my Games.
Rd 1 James Jenkinson/HE - 8/12
Magic was *****, couldn't kill the dragon because of it, meaning I lost out on nearly 600 vp (Got General but not points for him, as he survived.) Net of Amyntok messed up my plan, and panics followed without general and BSB support. Entertaining though.
Rd 2 Alex Lunt/WE - 13/7
Spent the early turns removing stuff from bow fire, at an alarming rate. Charged Durthu with Phoenix, and held him off for a few turns. Lions got in, killed Durthu, and his Draicha killed herself. Enough for a win.
Rd 3 Rupert Read/Dwarfs - 9/11
He castled, I spread thin. He got first turn, and took out 2 Bolt Throwers and some reavers. I ran to my corner, but did take out the Grudge Thrower, with one Bolt Thrower, before some miners cleared it out. Played Rupert at BB5, nice lad, but I just made the best choice for the event, Non-game, over in under 40 minutes, as I just refused to die crossing the board.
Rd 4 Simon Cliffton/Skaven - 7/13
Brilliant fun, but couldn't get the Lions into his Stormvermin. Spent the game never rolling more than 6 magic dice per phase, and casting Fiery Convocation. He spent it, removing Stormvermin, and dispelling Fiery Convocation in his turn. Charged Phoenix into a Doomwheel, learnt my mistake. Storm Banner, and his spells meant my shooting was poor and the Phoenix spent two turns walking. Awesome opponent though.
Rd 5 Matt Sewell/Skaven - 10/10
First better player I have faced at an event (although he wasn't doing awesome at this one.) He got stuff, my Lions go his Stormvermin, which saved me. Brass Orb got the Phoenix, before it could do much (Howling Warpgale again.) I with left with 2 Reaver Units, and my Lions plus Loremaster and Archmage. Couldn't get his units to break (had Slaves to my flank,) and thought game was going down. But a Horde of Stormvemin, must cost enough to keep it to the draw.
Goal was 50/100 Battle Points. I got 47, which means my hobby target is unlikely to be completed. However 47 points is a damn sight better than I expected going into the event, and to be not near the bottom end, is a great improvement on the other events I have played. Good weekend.
