Inter Mountain Cup

The Inter Mountain Cup was run at the same time as Mayhem and it was won by Chain Attack's Scott Wray. His lists:


Tier 4 Shore Leave
Pirate Queen Skarre -6

• Harrower 10
• Leviathan 9
• Skarlock Thrall 2

Bloodgorgers (Leader and 9 Grunts) 8
Bloodgorgers (Leader and 9 Grunts) 8
Satyxis Raiders (Leader and 5 Grunts) 5
Satyxis Raiders (Leader and 5 Grunts) 5
General Gerlak Slaughterborn 3
Necrotech & 1 Scrap Thrall 1
Necrotech & 1 Scrap Thrall 1
Satyxis Raider Captain 2
Satyxis Raider Captain 2

This is an interesting theme fore, the Harrower and Leviathan get advance deployment, the Bloodgorgers get advance move and the Satyxis already have advance deployment and are stupid fast. This list gets up in your face fast and then Skarre feats you to death. I really like it and I'm surprised more people don't play this theme force. I suppose last year jam wasn't as powerful as it is this year.

Tier 4 Witching Hour
Warwitch Deneghra -5

• Nightwretch 4
• Ripjaw (free)
• Ripjaw 5
• Scavenger 4
• Stalker 4
• Harrower 10
• Harrower 10
• Skarlock Thrall 2

Necrotech & 1 Scrap Thrall 1
Necrotech & 1 Scrap Thrall 1
Pistol Wraith 3
Pistol Wraith 3
Warwitch Siren 2
Warwitch Siren 2
Warwitch Siren 2
Warwitch Siren 2

Another theme force you don't see much of. Again warwitch sirens get advance deployment, the heavies get advance deployment. There are arcnodes up the wazoo, warwitch sirens to run all the jacks, two pistol wraiths to combine with the warwitch sirens and crippling grasp and the feat to ensure your opponent can never do anything. I really like it and I really like to see a good jack heavy cryx army. From Scotts comments this list is designed to take a colossal out of the game, make sure it can never do anything without necessarily killing it.

Lich Lord Terminus -4

• Kraken 19
• Skarlock Thrall 2

Mechanithralls (Leader and 9 Grunts) 5
Necrosurgeon & 3 Stitch Thralls 2
Necrosurgeon & 3 Stitch Thralls 2
Satyxis Blood Witches (Leader and 9 Grunts) 6
Satyxis Blood Hag 2
The Withershadow Combine 5
Gorman di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist 2
Necrotech & 1 Scrap Thrall 1
Necrotech & 1 Scrap Thrall 1
Necrotech & 1 Scrap Thrall 1
Ragman 2
Saxon Orrik 2
Warwitch Siren 2

Not a standard terminus build. You still have the full unit of mechthralls and double necrosurgeons so you still get the tough recycling machanithralls but it only has one full unit then blood witches, the hag in particular is a big help on Terminus feat turn to ensure the maximum amount of souls. Withershadow for the free upkeep of Malediction. Then there is pathfinder from Saxon some fixers in Ragman and Gorman and the Warwitch Siren to run the Kraken (as sad as that sounds) it can get 3 focus on feat turn pretty easily. The Krakken is a good partner for Terminus because it is so beefy. You need the same things to kill the Krakken as you need to kill Terminus so if you can trade the Krakken for those models then there is nothing left that can kill Terminus and you win.

I have not listened to Chain Attacks review of the cup yet so I may update this after I've gone through that.
