Game 1 - v Skorne (epic Hexeres)
Flanking scenario with reinforcements. Took Saeryn (Skorne has a lot of trouble with her). Scenario was bunkers and I put my two Angelius towards the circle I had to control. Always going to be an issue as I can double repulse and move anything you put in the zone 6" as it's an 8" circle that's almost always going to be outside of the zone. In the end though I didn't have to, I managed to respawn an Angel into melee with his shooting unit and then he couldn't hit it with any more shooting or magic on feat turn. Meant I had more than enough alive to clear the zone and win on scenario.
Game 2 v Cryx (epic Deneghra)
Destruction. I took epic Lylyth as she wins destruction pretty easily. My opponent (the eventual winner of the super series) (spoiler alert) actually gave me line of sight to his caster. A very narrow line of sight but I could get two ravagores into it on feat turn. 4 shots and setting her on fire... I went for it. I failed (frowny face). She lived, the fire went out and because I went for the assassination I didn't have the shooting to crack the objective (and I was much further forward than I wanted to be). From there I was never going to win. I tried to score at least one scenario point but failed. My opponent had deliberately left the line of sight open to distract me from the objective but hadn't realised I'd be able to get two ravagores into it. Still it was 50-50.
Game 3 v Cygnar (epic Haley)
So the scenario was incoming and it's a shit scenario. It's way too easy to score scenario points. It ended 3-2 to my opponent when his sneaky bid to run something into my zone had him 1/4 of an inch in and my attempt to do the same left me 1/4 of an inch out. What I do want to talk about though is that he had two lists, epic Haley with infantry and shooting and a jack heavy epic Nemo list. Lylyth cannot deal with armour very well and Nemo isn't just armour he's fast armour. Saeryn though struggles against shooting and Haley has a lot of shooting, in fact Lylyth is designed specifically to deal with Haley2. I ended up picking Saeryn because she was the least bad match up. She would not autolose to Haley2 like Lylyth2 would to Nemo2. I think it's important to have that variation in your lists. It can really put your opponent on the back foot and give you a good match up as it did in this case.
Game 4 v Retribution (Ravyn)
So as soon as I saw retribution I knew my caster would be Lylyth2. She auto wins against retribution. They are a shooting army that has nothing that ignores stealth. Lylyth out shoots them and out ranges them without stealth, when you take into account that everything in her list has stealth requiring the Ret shooting units to advance through a hail of fire to within 5" before they can shoot me (while I move back) and it's a really really bad match up for ret. I lost a shredder and picked up 48 army points off my opponent before killing his caster.
I'm expecting something to come out in the Colossals book that either has the ability to ignore stealth or allows you to give it to something in the army. They really need it. It'll still be an uphill battle for ret against lylyth2 but a less nutso one. All in all I think I did pretty good considering I spent most of last night throwing my guts up, 2-2 is what I was aiming for.
