Frankenstein Tournament

Here's the format of today's tournament: 666 points, you can mix two factions, everything is FA:C for allowances, and warcasters/warlocks can use each others mechanics, except that warcasters can use focus/fury for armor, up to their stat, and warlocks can dish out fury like focus, but can't use armor. Warcasters can't transfer. Pretty simple I think... on to the show!

I figured very one in my group would bring Legion + whatever to totally waste me. I almost didn't go to the tournament because of this. But I decided at the last second to do it. I took eCaine, Krea, gobber, squire, extoller, JMWC, Ancestral Guardian, 4x stormlances, B13th, 8x trenchers + UA, eiryis, and aiyana and holt.

First game was against eAsphixious + legion (raptors, seraph, striders + UA) It went the longest all day I almost lost it due to my not being able to hit a 6. The dirty combo here was Ghost Siting B13th until it was feat time, then Caine gets a bizzillion shots on the enemy caster. He Shadow Winged away and almost got out of range, but I got an inch on him and killed.

Next game against Skarre/Trolls was pretty much a “if you blink, you die.” Going first, I got into range, killed the champion she was borrowing armor off of (silly Earthborn) and then killed her. Two turns. It was sick.

Last game, against pThagrosh, same thing. B13th actually helped this time by dropping the POW 18 template of Dooooom on his front line of warmongers, catching Thag for 11. transferred, then eCaine went to work and finished it.

I feel dirty, but it's the first time I've won a tournament and gotten a 1st place coin, gold cards, and entry money all at the same time. Usually when I win a tournament, it was for a single coin (left over merc coin) or I would win faction coin but not gold cards, or just money (store credit) and none of the other things. So it was fun. Most of the guys hated the format, but not because of extoller + Cygnar, but Legion + Cryx stuff. Can't wait for Raptors to take a big Mk II Nerf bat to the face...
