Shattered Grounds: Thundercliff Peaks

I participated in the CC DJ Thundercliff Peaks league and it started today. Turnout was awesome! Had at least 10 players and not counting the new guys learning how to play.

Meta I saw so far consist of
2 Legion
1 Cygnar
3 Khador
3 Menoth
1 Cryx

I'm predicting Legion coming out tops in this one.


I began the league playing against Alan's (polarloon) Legion. First game against his beast-heavy Saeryn ended faster than expected. We decided to play our 2nd game right after and he pulled out his trump-warlock Bethayne! God knows what she and her pet does and he assasinated my caster by a whisker.

3rd game was against Bryan's (demonsquid) Madrak-Trollblood. Apparently non-league player games is counted to my league scores (need to double check). Been awhile since I played a 25pter and I had to cut down my 35pter. Felt so awkward activating my squad. Nevertheless, I realised the Impaler is a warbeast to be respected. Harlan Versh surprisingly did 18dmg in total from his 4 shots to Madrak, forcing Madrak to remove a near-by trollblood model in order to survive. Beast-09 finished him off later


moral of the story: I hate going up against eyeless sight. I dread having to face Jin's legion in the coming weeks...



How was your league matches this week? If you played in another location and not in CC DJ's league, whereabouts and how did it went?

Played 2 games on Friday night, yielding a win with my Strakhov and a loss with Karchev.

My Karchev faced Jym's Amon and he played really well. The game shows how strong Mobility as a spell is. Here's hoping to Khador getting that spell in the future!!!

In game 2 of the night, I decided Strakhov needs to show up and thevampiredio's eSkarre was my opponent. I was leading most of the time until the last 2 turns where he showed me how to overcome Gorman's Blind Bomb. It definitely caught me off-guard and it allowed his Deathjack to engage my caster. I was feeling gung-ho and decided to allow DJ to take a freestrike with 1 focus standing on my caster. He rolled a total of 16 damage, 1 short to kill me! Nevertheless, I proceeded to win on that turn.


I'm on the verge of getting really comfortable with Strakhov now. With a few more games under my belt, I should be able to rack up more wins with this guy!
