Khador vs Cryx

Right, so D3 is down...again. So I thought I'd write up this battlereport which has been waiting for a loooong time (roughly since DiabloIII came out really...)

Khador

Karchev

-Berserker x 3

-Juggernaut

Min unit of demo corps x 2

Greylord Ternions

Cryx

eGaspy

-Reaper

Baneknights

Banelord Tartarus

Gerlak

Bloodgorgers

Bilethralls

He wins deployment so he goes first

Turn 1

-He runs his units up

+I run my own units up, screening Karchev with my MOWs.

Turn 2

-He kills several of my MOW with his units. 

+In return, I kill several more of his. I spray his bile thralls so most of them die but not all. Meanwhile my warjacks run the other way to engage his bloodgorgers. I'm trying to avoid his baneknights at the moment or at least until I can destroy his bloodgorgers. 

Turn 3

-He destroys all my MOW and my greylords. 

+I destroy several of his units but he also keeps making a LOT of tough rolls. 

Turn 4

-He charges my units and kills several of my warjacks. 

+In return, I destroy his warjack and Tartarus and then Karchev is left on his own. This is not good. I'm out in the open and eGaspy hasn't used his feat yet.

Turn 5

-He rezzes his bane knights and Tartarus with his feat and then he tries to assassinate Karchev. Surprisingly, 10 bane knights fail to kill Karchev -_- Even with charge on. However, he still has Gerlak and several bloodgorgers left. As well as a fresh eGaspy while I have a very badly damaged Karchev. With that in mind, I concede.

Thoughts on game: 

Well, it seems like I would be better off with 2 fullsquads of MOW Demo Corps instead of 2 min units. However, I'm probably much better off not using Karchev's tier list. Needing 2 units of MOW in it is just too expensive, points wise. 

MIB3

Well, I managed to get tickets to a sneak preview of MIB3. And I'm going to have to say that it was quite disappointing.

Several Trolls walked into a Gun Carriage

And went ouch. It's actually been a while since this battle was played and my memory may be a bit hazy on the actual specifics. As for why I took this long to write it down...well, I blame Diablo. 

eKaya vs pButcher

Man, I've played a lot of pButcher lately, despite the fact I find playing him to be very boring. Mostly because I was testing out several lists. And now I finally get to test croes cutthroats in the environment they were meant to be used in. ie. against Hordes and living models, not undead skeletons, bane knights etc.

Diablo III

So I was at Ikea buying some stuff for my new place when suddenly out of the blue, I receive a call from my friend, C. C informs me that D3 is now in stock at the store we pre-ordered it from and that we can go queue up immediately as the store will be open until 12midnight. Good thing too because when he called me, it was already 9.30pm. 

So needless to say, we rush all the way down there. And there's a huge load of guys queuing up as well for an early chance to get D3. It's so long, the damn queue loops around the building once. It's like the ouroboros, a snake eating its own tail. Nevertheless, we tough it out, hoping that we'll get a chance to collect D3 before the store closes. It's 10.20pm by this point.


Well, OBVIOUSLY from the first picture you can tell we did manage to get our copies -_- It only took 1.5 hrs. Could have been worse, we heard some guys queued for 3 hours. 


So yes, we do have 4 copies of Diablo III. Obviously, 2 of them are for C and me. The others have also been spoken for. In fact, we have a party of 4 ready to take on infernal difficulty. 

Escape from Werewolf Village REG2

  Well, I went for the 2nd real escape game held in Singapore. This time, the theme was "Escape from Werewolf Village" and it was held at SCAPE instead of CHJIMES.

Angry Man vs Angry Man

So a pButcher vs pButcher list. My opponent wanted to try out his pButcher winterguard list and I wanted to try out my cracky 3 devastators + demolisher list. We both knew what list the other was bringing (well, in so far as I knew he was fielding WGDS and IFP and he knew I was bringing 3 devs and 1 demo) so you could say we're both prepared for each other in a way. I was even discussing with him my kill strategy the night before when he said he wanted to try out his pButcher list and we decided to have it out. 

From the mind that brought you 2 GunCarriages....
