Vampire lord
Flying Horror
amaranthine orb
Neferata – Mortach of blood
Vile Transference
10 Blood Knights
2 x 3 Varghiests
20 Bladesgheist revenants
Calvin held back his bladesheists, scared to charge my fully buffed SOS. Meant SOS took out the knights and Snakes took out his General.
His saving grace was Nef rolling the 6 after wounding the cauldron to kill it before she went down.
Game 2: Brandon with IDK (Won 20 - 5)
Ionrach
Akhelian King, General, polearm, emissary of the deep places, cloud of midnight
Isharann tidecaster, steed of tides
Isharann Tidecaster, Pressure of the deep
Gotrek
2 x 3 Ishlaen Guard
4 x 3 Morrsarr Guard
Chonomantic cogs
Made him go first. He ran forwards to hold points. I abused cogs and realm spell wildform and got a double 6 charge on the witch aelves to get into gotrek and get 2 wounds. Shadow warriors chipped 2 more then SOS killed him in combat turn 3.
Swarmed the points and took the win, but not enough for the major
Game 3: Josh with Fyreslayers (25-0)
Hermdar
Auric Runefather, general, Tyrant Slayer
Auric Runemaster, Ember storm

Battle Smith, The Nulisdian Icon
2 x 20 Hearthguard Berzerkers with poleaxes
15 Hearthguard Berzerkers with broadaxes
3 Gyrocopters
Lords of the lodge
Runic Fyrewall
He made me go first so I didn’t move bar a few inches on SOS. He did the same, nervous to engage as his army was split and mine was central. Managed to take out the gyrocopters with a Witch aelve charge and shadow warriors. Meant they did nothing. After he failed to cast run and charge, I piled into his right flank, snakes move right/center. Meant turn 4 he only had general, hero, 20 Hearthguard on is corner vs my whole army. I ran everything over and piled into him. Snakes with mindrazor and infernal blades just wiped him out.
Game 4: Joshua with Tempest Eye (18 – 9)

5 x Freeguild Outriders
Extra Command Point
Soulscream Bridge
Thought I was done for as he got the double. He used the bridge to jump everything up and in 2 rounds of shooting took out my Cauldron and 24 Sisters of Slaughter and 6 snakes. Ouch. However, Snakes and Medusa totally pulled it back into a win. Very tight game
Game 5: Philippe with Fyreslayers (25 – 0)

Auric Runemaster, Ember storm
Auric Runesmiter on magmadroth, coal-heart ancient, Prayer of ash
Battle Smith, The Nulisdian Icon
3 x 20 Hearthguard Berzerkers with broadaxes
Lords of the lodge
Runic Fyrewall
All my prayers and spells worked out in this game, and I managed to make him push too much, meaning I could take out a unit at a time.
End of Day two I was 5th/168 on points and in the final 8:
I have some issues with the set up for game 6. It was a complete mess of organization and meant the players were told the mission from a random page in the book, and told time had started (using death clocks which no heads up was given)
This meant we had to get to tables (as half had been sent to wrong tables) and set up scenarios and army on the clock. Means I totally missed he had the soulscream bridge and let him go first as I thought I was out of range.
Game 6: Gregor with Skaven (Loss)
Greyseer on bell, general master of magic, Death Frenzy
Grey Seer, skitterleap
Warlock Engineer, vigordust injector, more more warp power
3 x 20 Clanrats with shields
40 plague monks, woe staves.
6 stormfiends, 2 windlaunchers, 2 ratling cannons, 1 doomflayer gauntlets, 1 shock gauntlets
Hell pit Abomination
Soulscream bridge
Prismatic Palisade
He rolled 30 for his rating guns turn 1 and killed all my sos. Launders killed 7 snakes (inc battle shock for both)
I managed to pull it back, taking his Abom to 1 wound, killing 24 Plague monks, his warlock engineers and half his clanrats. However, he was now up 10 – 6 by end of turn 3 (I also forgot a mind razor cast turn 2 and to move with aelves turn 1. Clock really put me off). I was down a hag, incantor, and both Shrine and Cauldron on full wounds.
If I had won priotiry, I could have killed the middle inc his seers and pulled a Win/Draw
If he won, I could pull a draw then kill points (which meant I could pull it as still lots of points left)
Sadly he won priority, then double 6 banishment my shrine to the back of the board. I called it there as I couldn’t pull it back.
All in all a great weekend. I aimed to get into the top 20 if I could, so I wasn’t down when I lost (actually had a laugh the last round with him)
I got into the top 14 painted, and not sure how many sports votes I got but ended up 7/168 and then I won best overall. Pretty damn happy.
Double Medusa was awesome. Really helped. Incantor was average, as was the comet. Mainly as 2 of the games Fyreslayers ignored on a 4+ lol.
10 Witchalves I kinda wish I had put shields on for the pot hit back damage.
New list has 1x20 and 1x10 Shadow warriors lol. Really useful unit.
I and switching back to a Slaughter queen for general as that command ability would have been great
