* 4x Shredder

Commander Adept Sebastian Nemo (0 points)

Commander Adept Sebastian Nemo
* Charger
* Firefly
* Ironclad

Deployment

Lylyth1 wins the die roll and deploys in safety behind the wall. Nemo1 grabs the hill.

Turn 1

Lylyth1 moves up.

Cygnar gets into position and shoots away one of the Shredders. Nemo1 forgets his plan which was to to feat and fry the Shredders. He is also out of range of the Ironclad and cannot buff it. Well well, no takebacks against kids!

Turn 2

Once again Cygnar has greatly underestimated the power of the Shredders. Parasite, some high dice rolls and bye bye Ironclad.

With so much of the army in ruins, Nemo1 goes for the hail mary. Nemo misses. The Charger misses on both shots. So much for the accuracy of the Swan.

Turn 3

Nemo1 is dragon food.

And Everblight is satisfied.

Spawn of Everblight #2: Lylyth1 vs Axis

After his decisive victory against my Stryker1 my son casts about for a new victim. Fortunately one of the guys at the club is not busy prepping for Clogcon, and he picks up Axis.

Lylyth, Herald of Everblight (5 points)

Lylyth
* Carnivean
* 4x Shredder

Axis, the Harmonic Enforcer (5 points)

Not strictly speaking a legal army, but Thomas decides to throw in some troops so my son can see how they work.

Axis
* Inverter
Optifex Directive
5 Eradicators

Turn 1

Axis wins the die roll and claims the zone.

Looks like I forgot to take a photo in the middle of all the action. What happened was that Lylyth shot and cast Parasite on the Eradicators and a Shredder charged in.

Turn 2

Axis first feats and tries wants to go for a hail mary on Lylyth. he realizes it cannot work so instead he kills a Shredder.

Lylyth commands his Carnivean and Shredders to go to town on the Eradicators. A Shredder triggers Countercharge and gets splatted.

The other Shredders leave only one Eradicator alive.

Turn 3

Axis claims the zone and the remaining Shredders die.

0-2

With Parasite, an assault shot and 7 attacks from the Carnivean the Inverter is grinded into metal filings.

Turn 4

Axis pushes the Carnivean out of the zone. The Optifex Directive charges the Carnivean, it is left at 15 boxes.

0-4

The Carnivean and Lylyth kills off the rest of the troops. Since a normal battlebox game ends when the battlegroup is gone, we declare the game a resounding victory for the glory of Everblight.

Post Mortem

Guess if someone was happy. :D

On the road home:

Me: "So, was the day as good as you though it would be?"
Him: "It was better! What was that big dragon called?"
Me: "Archangel"
Him: "I want an Archangel for Christmas just as much as an iPhone."

Spawn of Everblight #1: Lylyth1 vs Stryker1

My son got to visit our wargaming club for the first time! He was so excited yesterday that he was bouncing around in the living room. Today we packed his miniatures and the paint, and off we went.

Lylyth, Herald of Everblight (5 points)

Lylyth

* Carnivean

* 4x Shredder

Commander Coleman Stryker (0 points)

Commander Coleman Stryker

* Charger

* Firefly

* Ironclad

First things first. The correct front arcs were painted on all his models.

Turn 1

Lylyth moves up and grabs the zone. Offense is the best defense!

Charger gets Snipe and shreds a Shredder. Ironclad get Arcane Shield, moves up and contests the zone. Look at those little puny Shredders, what could they possibly do to an Ironclad?

Turn 2

Lylyth moves into the forest to get Stealth. She shoots the Ironclad and applies Parasite, and then shoots it again and applies Blood Lure. Carnivean assaults and blasts the Ironclad. The Shredder that is out of range runs in, and the rest of them charge for free with flank. The Ironclad has his cortex blown out his ear, and left hand crippled. Little blighted buggers, they hit hard!

Ironclad swings and kills off a Shredder with his good arm.

Turn 3

One Shredder frenzies but does not kill off his pack mate. Lylyth feats and tags the Charger with Parasite and Blood Lure, and after another assault spray and charge attack both the Ironclad and Charger die.

0-2

Stryker really has only one option. He spends his stack hacking the Carnivean to bits before it can eat him alive.

Turn 4

Lylyth aims and hits Stryker with the Parasite. The Shredders move in and munch on Stryker.

And so it ends. Poor Stryker!

Legion wins on assassination!

Post Mortem

Everyone agreed that we had had an excellent time playing WARMACHINE! My son was ready for another round.
